When will love be through with me?

Casey shook his head. "He should look at Alex first."

"It's okay Alex," Artemis said softly, sitting down, gently rubbing his back. "It's okay."

Angel nodded, "If your sure."

Alex curled close to Artemis. "T-Thought I was back in the closet again...."

"Yeah..." Casey nodded.

"Don't worry, you'e not." Artemis smiled.

Brayden growled when he heard what Alex said.

Adam walked in, "Hey."

"What is it...?" Artemis asked, looking up at Brayden, not knowing about Alex's fear. Hearing Adam, he moved over a little so the doctor would be able to get to Alex easier. "Oh. Hey Adam."

"I need to talk to you." Brayden said as Adam started his work.

"About what...?" Artemis asked curiously, slowly moving to get up.

Brayden walked a short ways from Alex before saying quietly. "They locked Alex in a closet.... I don't know if you know this but.... Thats Alex biggest fear is small spaces..."

Adam dug through his bag for something.

"He is?" Artemis frowned. "Why...?"

"Hey." Casey said quietly as he went over to Adam.

Adam smiled, "Hey there."

"He was thrown into a closet and locked in by bullies when he was younger."

Casey gave a small smile and sat down near Adam, relieved to see his familiar face after being gone for over a month.

"He was?" Artemis asked, slowly shaking his head. "Why would someone do that?"

Adam smiled before sighing, "Alex... I need you to take this test..."
Alex looked at him confused.

"They were jelous...."

Casey raised an eyebrow at Adam. "You think he's...?"

"Of what?" Artemis asked.

Adam nodded slowly, watching as Alex went to the bath room. "We'll he's been doing it even before he was kidnapped...."

"The fact he was a James... They thought he was getting it easy...."

Casey nodded slowly. "True... He'd been sleeping quite a bit too."

"Oh..." Artemis sighed. "But he wasn't though, was he?"

Adam nodded, "I think that test is going to come out a yes...."

Brayden shook his head, "He had to work harder.... Thats why he changed his name to Shelley...."

"Probably." Casey nodded, agreeing with him.

"Right." Artemis said, frowning slightly. "Jacen got picked on when we were younger because he got sick a lot, so he started being an ass to people."

Brayden nodded slowly, "Alex... Well you know how he can be sometimes..."

Alex came out of the bathroom, "Its.... posivitive."

Artemis went to respond before hearing Alex, turning to look at him, confused. "What is...?"

Alex bit his lip before turning to him and holding out the test for him to see.

Artemis slowly went over to Alex to look, staring down at the test.

Alex bit his lip harder as he waited for him to say something. "A-Art...."

"...yeah?" Artemis said quietly, still staring at the test.

"A-Are.... You upset or....?" Alex asked nervously.

"I- no...?" Artemis said quietly. "Just...surprised I guess."
