I Have To Do This Alone, Brother [1]

[ALEX]

The afternoon was bound by so many questions and occurrences.

There was a man determined to cross over to the love of his life in every way he could, a woman who wasn't scared of what was coming for them, and a family that was caught at cross-roads, between helping one of their own or locking him up until he used his brain cells instead of his heart. 

So many things were happening at the same time, and right in the middle of it, was a couple that could have sorted shit out before they blew out of proportion, but instead, they were busy playing pretend lovers with each other. 

"We can do this," Alex said to no one in particular.

He was painfully aware of the stakes he was forcing on his family, but this was the only way he could get things right. This was his way to tell the world that he wasn't exactly a monster and that he had emotions too, but did the world care?
