Chapter 2

After a restless night, Way came back at the garage to watch the race. He kept his distance from everyone as it was about to start, sitting in a corner and warrily watching everyone else, shivering everytime someone glared at him. 

The race began. Everything seems to go well. Until Charlies's car sudddenly flipped over. 

Way's eyes widdened just by seeing the commotion. He felt worried for the young alpha. Because at the opposite of what everyone thought, he wasn't heartless or holding a grudge against him and Charlie remains his best friend lover so he was obviously concerned about how Babe was feeling. 

The ambulance quickly rushed to the car crash place and Charlie was taken to the hospital.

Alan turned to Way and took him by the collar of his shirt, forcing him to stand up. 

-I hope you have nothing to do with that because i swear i wont stop Babe at all. 

Then he threw him into an empty room and say before locking the door. 

-Stay there until we come back. 

For what seems an eternity, Way stayed alone and trembling in that dark room. Then, the door burst open, revealing a very angry Babe. The main racer came to him, grabbbing his shirt before rudely throwing on the floor. 

-What have you done ? Charlie is heavily injured ! What did you do to his car ??

He repeatidly kicked him in the stomach despite Way begging him and telling him he would never hurt him or his lover. But Babe didn't care and continue until Pete and Alan came and stopped him. The garage owner made the angry racer came out of the room and Pete grabbed Way's arm to put him on his feets.

-From now on, you will live at my house. 

Way wanted to protest that he has his own appartment even if it has been provided by Tony. He didn't want to leave his safe sanctuary, the only place the others will never go to see him. But no words came out of his mouth. 

-You have to stay at my place. We can't trust you at all anymore and let wandering anywhere when you're not at the garage. 

These simple words were the proof that Pete had used his powers on him, making Way's anxiety rise even more. He dragged him outside to his car, ignoring the whimpers of pain coming from the younger. 

As Pete drive them to his home, Way remain completly silence. He tried to met Pete's eyes but the cold glare he received made him look at his hands. When they arrived at their destination, Pete took his wrrist again and bring him in a room upstairs. Then he left him, locking the door behind him. The younger wait a few second without moving before he dare to take a look around him. It was a large guest bedroom with a bathroom attached to it. There was also a desk but what catch Way's attention was the garden he could see when he look at the window. 

A moment later, Way heard the lock moving again. Suddenly afraid, the young enigma back up in the farthest corner of the room. Pete entered and put a tray of food on the desk as well as some clothes that must belong to him. He stay there for a moment, staring deeply at the shaking form of the younger man. Then he left, but he could hear the sigh of relief as well as the sobs as soon as the door was closed. 

Pete came back in Way's room a few hours later. He slowly opened the door and see that the younger was asleep in the bed. He visibly took a shower and is wearing the clothes he gave him. Clothes that looks way bigger than they should. Pete could also see some tears strikes on Way's face and his eyes softened when he realized that he was tightly holding one of his hoodies in his arms, his nose stuffed in the fabric as if he was searching for confort in Pete's remaining scent in it. On the desk, the food has been left untouched. 

The next morning, Way has just wake up when Pete came to see him. 

-Come with me. We're gonna have breakfast. 

Way wasn't sure he could eat anything as he was still stressed out, but he decide to follow him, not wanting to worsen his condition. They sat at the table in the kitchen and Pete put a plate full of food before him. The younger seems to be hesitant, carefully watching the plate.

-What is it ? I thought it was your favorite...

Way was surprised he remembered anything like that since nobody seems to care about him lately. 

-What do you want... ? 

-I don't understand what you are talking about Way.

The other gulped and stare at his plate.

-At Tony's house, when i was punished and locked up in my room, the guard were asking me...things in exchange of food. So what do you want from me ? 

-What kind of things did they ask for ?

Way stayed silent, unsure if he could say it. Pete sighed and add :

-If you don't tell me, i will read your mind. 

Pete voice was still cold and that was a very low threat. Way stiffens on his chair. Fighting his tears, he finally whispers.

-S...Sexual favors...

Pete has the decency not to make him repeat, his eyes widdenning in shock at the revelation. He had visibly soften his expression. Until now, he had never considered the traumas the younger one could have possibly go through with their "father". He was about to promise he would never do something like that when Way suddenly burst out, he dropped on his knee next to the sponsor chair and began to appologized frantically while sobbing. 

-I...I'm sorry khun Pete. I...They... I was so...so hungry. I let them use me...Please forgive me.

His eyes were wide with fear and his breathing was uneaven . Way was soon going into a full panic attack. Sensing the distress coming from the younger, Pete join him on the floor so he wouldn't hovering him and carefully took his hands.

-I'm not mad at you Way, it wasn't your fault. You need to calm down, i promised you i will never do that to you. Please breathe with me. 

After a few minutes, the younger enigma seems to calm down but his breath remain hard and after one last look into Pete's eyes, he fall into darkness.
