Ellis leaned into Lloyd's hand, trembling a little bit. "I couldn't tell him no…" He repeated quietly. "He…I…"

"What did he do?" Lloyd asked again. He ran his fingers through Ellis's hair to try and calm him.

"H-he…" He swallowed. "He forced…I…he ra–…he raped me…" He whispered, starting to cry.

Lloyd froze up, paling. "That bastard. I'll have him arrested if I can, I-…" He hugged Ellis tightly. "I-I'm so sorry…"

Ellis burrowed into Lloyd, crying and clinging to him.

"Shh… you're gonna be okay… he's never gonna touch you again, El…" Lloyd held Ellis close to himself, trying to calm him down.

Ellis kept crying, clinging to Lloyd, his thin body trembling with sobs.

"I'll get him arrested, El… his behavior is entirely unacceptable in every way possible. I can't believe he did that to you…"

"I-it's n-not…n-not the f-first time…" He whispered, voice trembling.

"He's raped you before?" Lloyd asked softly, his voice trembling with fury.

He nodded a little. "H-he and Drew both…" He whispered faintly.

"Drew? Who's Drew?" Lloyd asked. He kept Ellis close.

"Anton's brother…" He replied faintly.

Lloyd nodded a bit. "I'm sorry, El… would it be better for him to move here too? Is Anton going to continue to hurt him?"

"No Anton doesn't hurt him." Ellis shook his head. "I-I meant…I meant that he and Anton have both…"

"Drew has hurt you as well?" Lloyd held Ellis closer protectively. "I-I'm sorry, I misunderstood… I'll make sure he never comes near here, El."

"Drew only did it b-because Anton did…" He closed his eyes, leaning into Lloyd and sniffling softly.

"I still won't allow him anywhere near you… I promise. I don't care whether or not he was pressured into it. You shouldn't have to see those people again."

He sniffled again, still crying quietly. "Thank you…" He whispered.

"Of course, Ellis… your safety and happiness are my top priority."

Ellis shuddered a little bit, still snuggled close.

Lloyd gently kissed Ellis's cheek again and nuzzled against him to try and make him feel safer. "I'm sorry this happened to you… I'll try to get both of them arrested."

Ellis let out a breath, clinging to Lloyd. "Thank you…" He whispered.

"Of course, El… I'll stay here as long as you want me to."

Ellis shuddered a little, a sob leaving his throat
