Hope didn't know what he did in his life to deserve Alex, yes he may not be perfect but Hope strongly believed that no one was and we all had our little flaws. He knew it even more now knowing that Hope was taking care of him before they even met. Everything that happened just proved that they were meant to be with one another. Hope smiled brightly when he felt Alex's arms go around him. He then softly whispered out to Alex "Thank you. I truly mean it." Hope didn't try and whisper when he talked to his mother but he wasn't too loud. Hope wasn't worried about Alex disappointing him or letting him down. Because he knew how impossible that was.<br/><br/>Hope knew that Alex had something he wasn't telling Hope as if he had a dark past as well. Hope wished that he could show Alex that he could trust him enough to let him in and realize that he was in this for the long run. Hope didn't know what was going on when he saw the mysterious figure but just thought it was someone mourning a loved one. Hope looked over at Alex and mouthed 'What's wrong?' He could feel that in Alex's grip that this was serious. His heart was beating out of his chest and his vision was starting to get blurry. Hope was moved behind Alex and he grabbed his hand very tightly when the man started talking about Rexus. "Alex please don't let him take me away."<br/><br/>Hope blinked as he saw Jamie get ready to take the shot before he saw the male pull out a gun and say that all he needed to do was hand over Hope and it would all go nicely. Before he knew it he heard Alex say that he would pass on that and pushed them to the ground and the loud deafening sound of gunfire erupted in the peaceful cemetary. Hope started shivering when he looked over and noticed the dead body and the middle of the ground. But that wasn't the only thing that caught his attention. A crimson shade coating Alex's shirt. "OH MY GOD ALEX!" Hope's eyes filled with tears and they just started pouring out of him like a faucet. "This is all my fault. This is all my fault. I'm so sorry. Please please be alright. I can't make it without you."<br/><br/>Hope was going into hysterics and he knew that if he didn't calm down he would most likely pass out or something. Hope went full rage mode and stood up "Jamie get him in the car we have to get him to the hospital." Hope walked over to the corpse and picked up his gun walking over to the camera. Before mouthing 'Fuck you' to Rex emptying the gun at the camera's lens. "This is all my fault. I don't deserve you Alex. I got you hurt. I thought my life was going to be good now. I can't have anyone in my life that I care for be safe."
