[Reese pov.]

Stu had fallen asleep, exhausted from crying. Billy had taken him upstairs and took anything that stu could use to hurt himself.

I couldn't believe stu would do something like this. He always seemed so happy, but I guess that was just a facade he put up.

He fooled almost everyone. He fooled me, but he didn't fool Billy. I can't imagine how hard it must be for Billy.

I don't care that Billy and stu are in a relationship. They could love whoever they want.

If they're happy together, then that's all that matters.

I decided to head downstairs and let Billy do what he's doing.

I headed to the kitchen to make some food since we all skipped lunch. I bet Stu would be hungry when he woke up.

I checked the fridge before sighing. Of course, if I learn anything is that Stu's parents don't care about him.

Since Billy's busy and stu's asleep, I might as well go shopping for food. I left a note for Billy before grabbing my keys and headed out of the house.

(Billy's pov.)

I took every object that stu could use to hurt himself and just put in a box. I wanted to burn it, and I'll probably will later.

But for now, I tossed into his parents' room. Stu doesn't like going into his parents' room. He says it's too cold in there or it gives him the creeps.

I wanted nothing more than to kill his parents. He's the way he is because of them. If they just given him attention, then stu wouldn't hurt himself.

But what if they did give him attention? Would it be worse? I mean, I met his parents once, and they were arrogant, selfish, narcissistic, high class assholes.

Heck, if they gave any attention to stu, he probably wouldn't be here. He probably would've killed himself....

I shook my head, getting rid of that thought.

I wouldn't have let him take his own life. No way in hell was that happening. Not on my watch.

I sighed and headed downstairs to talk to Reese, but she was gone. Did she leave?

I saw a note on the fridge, and I grabbed it.

"Went out to the store for some food. Be back in a couple of minutes." - Reese.

I softly chuckled before throwing the note away and headed back upstairs and into stu's room.

I kicked off my boots before laying beside him and under the covers. Stu turned on his side, facing me.

He threw his arm over my waist and rested his head on my shoulder. I couldn't sleep, but that didn't mean I couldn't hold him.

I wrap my arms around him, letting him know that I'm here for him. He leaned into me and small sighed escaped him.

"I'm here, darling."

It took longer than I expected. I brought enough food for a whole week. I took the food inside and started to put it away.

I have decided to make some spaghetti. Luckily for me, there were big pans. I mean, you can't break the pasta. It's illegal.

As I started to make the spaghetti, there was a knock on the door. Confused as we were not expecting any company.

I left the kitchen and walked over to the front door, unlocking it and opening it.

"Uh, hi?" Standing in front of me was Tatum, Randy and Sidney.

"Where's Stu?" Tatum questioned, walking into the house.

"Sleeping. So Don't distrub him." I said, closing the door behind Sidney as they all walked into the house.

"So, what happened? All three of you ditched school." Tatum questioned and I shrugged.

I wasn't about to go telling them stu's whole life story or outing both boys.

"We just didn't feel like staying at school anymore." I replied walking back into the kitchen.

"I'm making spaghetti, y'all want some?" I questioned

"Ooh, will it have meatballs?" Randy questioned and I nodded ,"duh. You can't have spaghetti without meatballs." He grinned.

"Where's Billy?" Sidney questioned, standing awkwardly by the kitchen frame as Tatum and Randy made themselves at home.

It seemed like those two have been at stu's house more than Sidney has. "Upstairs, sleeping." I replied

"Keep the voices down, please. You wake them up and nobody will ever find your bodies." I threatened them.

"We'll keep our voices low. We'll be watching TV in the living room."
