Chapter Four

Eventually, they made it to the cabin. Frey was leaning so heavily on Jørgen by the end that Jørgen could just as well have been carrying him. Not that Jørgen minded Frey leaning on him, but if Frey hadn't been injured he never would've done it.

Jørgen got them inside and helped Frey over to the little bed in the corner. Frey lay down with a heavy sigh and his eyes closed. He curled up while Jørgen went to close the door he had left open while helping Frey inside.

The cabin was not in good shape. It was uninhabitable in winter, but it would do for them now as it was spring outside. Still, it would be cold. Frey was already freezing; Jørgen could see him shivering on the bed.

"Hey." He walked over to the little bed, looking down at Frey, who was curled up with his back to him.

Frey opened his eyes to look at Jørgen. He was clearly scared. "How long are we going to have to stay here?" His voice shook the tiniest bit.

"I don't know. A few hours, I hope. It shouldn't take them that long to find us once Karina realises something's wrong."

"I'm so cold," Frey whispered.

"I can warm you," Jørgen offered tentatively. Frey didn't like to be touched and Jørgen didn't want to intimidate him, but it would be warmer for both of them if they lay close.

Frey lay quiet for a moment, then he nodded.

Jørgen tentatively lay down on the bed. He lay on his back so he wouldn't intimidate Frey even more. "I would never hurt you," Jørgen said quietly. "You don't have to be so scared around me."

"I'm not scared of you," Frey whispered. "I know you wouldn't hurt me. You're too kind to do that."

"But?" Jørgen sensed there was quite a big but in there.

"But someone has hurt me." Frey curled up further and his voice lowered even more, if that was even possible. "It's a while ago now, but it's not easy to forget and I don't know if I can... be close to anyone."

Hurt could mean a tremendous lot, but...

"Did someone force themselves on you?"

"Yes." Frey nodded jerkily against the thin, lumpy mattress. "Yeah."

"I'm sorry." Jørgen didn't know what else to say. There wasn't anything to say, really. It had happened to Frey and it was not something Jørgen could do anything about. No matter how much he wanted to. He couldn't stand to think about what some bastard had done to Frey. Gentle, frightened Frey.

Jørgen turned over on his side and tentatively put a hand on Frey's hip. He wasn't sure it was a good idea, but he really wanted to give some kind of comfort. "I really like you, Frey, but I would never... I could never force you to do anything you didn't want to do."

Frey uncurled and turned slowly so that he was lying on his back. His eyes were wide as they looked up at Jørgen. "I know that. You've only been kind to me since we met.
