Trauma -BoyxBoy-

Thirty-Five

Hello, sorry once again for the long wait (I always feel really bad :( ) I am trying to get my grades up enough to graduate before the end of school because I am failing. Speaking of that, if any of you write short stories and are willing to help me out a bit in that regard please please DM me. My Grammarly premium ran out too :(. Other than that please enjoy! Also, let me tell you guys how bad I wish I was able to animate this story holy shit.

Sebastian's POV

----------------------------------------

"I love you two. Try to have a good day at school Sebastian okay?" Andrew said gingerly. I gave him a small sad smile. I know he's just trying to be consoling but... there's no way I can have a good day knowing what could be happening to Talon right now. I know what those terrible men did to him... My dads were even going to allow me to take some breaks from school to cope but I decided to come to try to keep my mind off of it. I know my mind will run over it all day, but it will even more if I'm at home alone. They could be doing evil stuff to him right now... And there's nothing I can do about it.

I took a deep breath to stop myself from either crying or lashing out in anger.

"I love you too. Cmon Sebastian..." Eve said, opening her door and stepping out of the car. She had turned fifteen recently, and due to the new semester a while ago, she had new classes in school. She was a freshman but with her previous class load we never really crossed paths, plus she's taking A+ courses and even some meant for higher grades. She's a very smart girl. But her new classes allow us to interact more in school.

I stepped out of the car, turning and telling my dad 'bye' and 'I love you,' as well. He and Carter wouldn't allow me to drive myself to school. They knew I was distracted and having trouble focusing, it was just for my safety. The last thing they wanted was for me to die in a car accident, though I already felt like I'd died inside anyway at the moment.

I followed next to Eve up to the fountain where she greeted my friends. They greeted her back and she turned to me.

"I'll see you later, okay?" She said. I nodded and waved to her, then she turned and walked away to go find her own group of friends.

"...It feels so weird not having him at the fountain with us..." Max mumbled, staring at the space Talon usually occupied, receiving statements of agreement.

"It's crazy to realize how much he was going through... I can't even imagine," Kacee responded.

"Stop talking about him like he's dead," I said gruffly, moving strands of my hair out of my face.

Kacee stammered looking at me with worried eyes, "I-I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that."

I stepped closer to her and pulled her into a hug, resting my chin on her shoulder. "I know... I'm sorry, I'm just so stressed out about this... I know about some of the things those people did to him, and I feel so helpless because I can't do anything, and I know he's reliving it all, and I'm pissed!" I lamented, looking over as the busses pulled into the lot. It was getting closer to the start of school.

Birds chirped in the trees and the sun shined brightly in the yard. If you were looking from above you'd think it was a nice day.

"Who says there's nothing you can do?" Cameron said. I looked up at him raising an eyebrow.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, maybe we can help out... if he was kidnapped before by the same people, maybe we can look into what happened the first time... We can look it up, and we can ask his friends from his old school, doesn't he do the calls with them on the weekends?" I nodded and he continued, "And we can even ask his mom and brother... I mean I know the police will probably do that stuff too but maybe it will help us feel a little less... well uh, helpless." He said. "Maybe we can find something they don't see..."
