Tim hugs Kobi and says, "I don't want to talk about it." He holds the ice against his face, "The man I went with was the same guy from before. We got in a disagreement, and he made his cronies beat me up. I'm fine though, and if you were there, I would've been more worried about what they would do to you." He says, petting Kobi's hair.

He was a little more upset that he will not tell him about what happen. He was worried sick all night, he comes back beaten up and he won't tell him what happen. Doesn't he have the right to know? He listen to him as he explains what happen, which did not ease the redhead. He sobbed a little and buried his face into his shoulder. "I'm calling the police."

Tim grips Kobi's arm to keep him there, "The police have nothing to do with this. Even if he.... well.... the police have nothing to do with this." He repeats, sighing a little, "I'm sorry... It's my fault anyway." He says, kissing Kobi.,

"But he hurt you, he assaulted you. He shouldn't get away with that." he tells him. "Why are you protecting him so much? What did he do yo you?" he asked. Then a thought popped into his head. "He...he didn't force you did he?" he asked in a shaky voice. "Besides, how is this your fault?"

Tim looks away when Kobi asked if he had forced him. Then Tim sighs again, "I just want to go to bed..." He says, keeping the bag of ice on his face.

When he didn't reply to his question. More tears roll down his face. "Why won't you say anything to me?!" he asked. Sounding very hurt. "Why won't you let me help you? Do you think I am useless or something?! You won't tell me who that man was, what happen to you, you won't me call the police and why won't you tell me if he forced you or not?" he cried. He felt so useless right now. His lover what hurt and he couldn't do a thing.

Tim sighs softly and hugs him tightly, "You're not useless... That man's name is Jeromy, and he beat me up because I was caught with you. He thinks I was sleeping around, so he tried getting me to stop by..." he clears his throat and doesn't finish his sentence, "I just.. don't want to be involved with police right now. When we leave here, he won't find us again." he says, sighing a little.

"But what if he tries to find you when you come back here again and again and again?" he asked.

Tim smiles, "If I does this again... I'll let you call the police." He says, kissing Kobi, "I just... don't want to think about it right now..." He says, trying to hold back tears and forcing a smile.

Kobi could see that he was making things worse and kissed him on the forehead. "I'm sorry. Do you need help with getting into bed?" he asked.
