Rhys' Perspective:
What did they mean that their work was more important than me? Did they really not love me? Was I just in the way of everything? What if Daniel doesn't even love me? Am I just a waste of space in this Earth? Questions were racing through my head, I couldn't focus on anything. What if I can't d anything? Daniel was kidnapped because of me, he ended up in a coma because of me. My 'parents' left me saying that their work was more important, so what if that's the case for everyone? Maybe I should just die...
I was traumatised the scene just kept on replaying in my head. I couldn't forget it, I wish I could just cut off a piece of my brain so I could forget it. Without realising I fell asleep again. Even in my sleep it was still replaying
Daniels' Perspective:
Rhys fell asleep again, I carried him up to the bed and tucked him in. I ran out of my room and chased after Rhys' parents.
"MR TIMBERLINE! MRS TIMBERLINE! WAIT UP!" They both turned around I was about to say something like, 'Are you just going to leave like that?' but when I saw the state they were in I couldn't.
"Yes Daniel?" Mrs Timberline asked.
"What? Why? Why did you do that to him? And don't say that you don't love him because if you really didn't, then why were you crying?"
"W-we...work is much more important. And we weren't crying."
"Were you not now?"
"Yes. We. Weren't."
"Look, whatever it is I won't tell Rhys, but I want to know the answer. After you left Rhys was crying so much that you maybe even but him in a state of depression."
"Is he okay now?!"
"Yes, he's sleeping right now. See the fact that you're still worried for him shows that you still love him. So just tell me why did you do it?"
"Daniel I don't believe you should know. There are things in this wold that you should know and there are things you shouldn't. This is one of those things you shouldn't"
"When my Mother passed away no one could help me. Not even my Father, when Rhys came back he healed me. In two days. So I want to do something for him now in return. I know you still love him. I know that no one in their right mind unless they had a reason would tell their son that work was just much more important. I know that Rhys is more devastated than you. I know many things yet I don't know they most important thing, and that is the reason."
"Fine. But you cannot tell Rhys anything. Do you know the man that kidnapped you and put you in a state of paralysis? Well he thought you were Rhys, they were also the one who made me and Claire injured. He told us that he was going to take the most important thing away from us if we didn't cut ties with Rhys they would have harmed him or even worse killed him. So we asked your Father-"
"Wait my Father?"
"Yes your Father, he helped us make a fake report at first he was hesitant but in the end he helped us."
"That company! That was why it was so familiar, it was my Fathers wasn't it."
"Yes we had to video us cutting ties with Rhys so that they would leave him alone."
"I'm sorry, this must be hard on you, I shouldn't have accused you."
"It's okay, it's only normal that Rhys' boyfriend looks out for him."
"B-boyfriend?!"
"Are you two not?"
"N-no OF COURSE NOT?!" I heard Claire mutter something and I swore she said, 'Well maybe soon.' I coughed and asked, "Will you sort this out with him later though?"
"Of course, we don't intend for him to leave us for good."
"That's good." We talked some more and then they left. I just felt really sorry for Rhys. To think that he will have endure this.
I walked back to my room to check on Rhys. I have to be careful not to tell him anything, I thought to myself.
"Rhys? Are you awake?" I asked while walking in.
"Yeah." He sounded really tired.
"How are you?"
"A bit better, while you were out I had some time to myself."
"Sorry I left my Father had to talk to me."
"It's okay."
"You can tell me anything okay."
"I thought it through and I was wondering if I could stay with you until I find my own place?"
"You can stay at my place forever if you want. I'd feel happier that way."
"Then, thank you."
"You must be tired here lets go to sleep, we can leave the hospital tomorrow." We both lied down, I turned around when Rhys gave me a back hug. I flinched.
"Can we just stay like this?" He asked whispering to my ear. I gave out a sigh and relaxed. At a time like this how could I say no, no matter what there’s guilt that’s holed up inside of me. The fact that I know the truth and he doesn’t makes me feel so guilty I could die, but yet again this could help him and cause less harm to him. Slowly I fell asleep, I guessed Rhys had already slept, just before I fell asleep I felt Rhys kiss me on the back of my neck.
I woke up really early in the morning but Rhys was still asleep, I didn’t want to wake him up so I layed there until he woke up.
“Good morning, my Father is going to pick us up today.”
“Ahh, ok.” It seemed that Rhys had calmed down from yesterday although he looked fine I know deep down he really wasn’t. No matter how fine you looked after what happened yesterday no one could ever be fine. I piped up and asked, “ How are you? From yesterday I mean...”
“I’m still a bit overwhelmed but I have much more important things to find out first, number one find out who and why someone kidnapped you. And two the real reason my Parents left me. I know that it isn’t because of work they left me, I know them like the back of my hand and work could never split us up.”
“But you could get hurt in the process, what if you’re harmed much much worse?” I asked trying to make it so that I could talk him out of it.
“Then so be it, I get harmed no ones going to ca-.”
“Don’t you dare finish that sentence cause I will kill you if you finish it! You will wish you were never alive.”
“Okay okay!”
“Before you do anything AT ALL, you MUST come to me."
"Fine..." Rhys looked as if he was annoyed.
"I just don't want you to get hurt." He looked less annoyed now.
"Thanks. I promise I won't do anything without telling you."
Rhys Perspective:
Daniel hugged me and I lost balance. I fell back onto the bed.
"Thank you." He whispered into my ear. I wrapped my arms around his back. I couldn't figure out as to why Daniel was so concerned for me.
"Come on we need to get packing, we can't leave Sir. Clifford to wait any longer." I patted his back and he got up.
"Fine." He pouted his lips. OMG WHY IS HE SO CUTE!
"Don't do that."
"What this?" He pouted his lips again.
"Stop please!" He did it again.
"Why should I?"
"Oh come one..." I gave him a peck on the lips and started packing my bags.
"Y-YOU?!" I started humming. I saw him starting to pack and I gave a cheeky grin.
"Daniel? Rhys? Are you two ready yet?"
"Yes Father, coming!" I walked out with Daniel behind me. Sir. Clifford drove us back to the house.
"Ummm...Sorry but where will I be sleeping?"
"Ahh all the spare rooms are used up so you will be sleeping in my room."
"Oh right ok."
"Rhys, I got some stuff from your Parents house and they are in Daniels room."
"Thank you, Sir. Clifford."
"Call me James."
"Thank you, S- James."
"Come on Rhys lets get unpacking!" Daniel called to me as he was walking up stairs.
