The Devil Inside The Angel

Chapter 8: Freedom

(In the motel room)

Robin carefully placed James on bed. Who could barely move his body properly.

"Please don't hurt........hurt...." James whined as tears rolled down his cheeks. Robin sat on the bed beside him, he placed his hand on his(James) head. "No one will hurt you" as he slowly stroked his(James) hair. "N-No...he is...there.." James cried while pointing towards the door, tears ran down his cheeks, he was paranoid.

"No one is there, I'm with you, you are safe here, no one can harm you" I think that you should go to sleep. "Wait let me bring you water"

Robin took out the extra  bottle of water from his bag, he opened the lid and and placed the bottle's opening on his(James) lips, James slowly gulped the water.

"Feel better?!" James nodded, his body was still shaking, "It's ok everything will be alright, I think you should wash your face. Wait let me take you to the bathroom."

Robin slowly helped James to stand up on his feet, he(Robin) wrapped one of James' arm around his(Robin) neck and slowly walked him to the bathroom.

He opened the tap, and Splashed some water on James' face. He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped off his(James) face. "We are all done here, let me take you to bed"

Suddenly James covered his mouth, he felt nauseous, he was having an urge to throw up.

"O my god, wait wait wait!! Just a moment" Robin screamed. As James threw up, dirtying his and Robin's clothes together.

"Shitttt!!!!!!! What should I do now? Gosh today is the worst day ever!!! Everything happening is just wrong!! It's so unfair" Robin cried. "Anyways there's no point in complaining, I have to clean up this mess all by myself"

(In the morning)

James opened his eyes, he placed his one hand on his forehead, "Ah where am I? What happened" he recalled everything, drops of sweat appeared on his forehead.  He looked to his side, where Robin layed, his eyes were closed, he was sleeping like a baby as if all the problems had magically dissapeared from his life.

James looked at Robin's face, he(James) could feel that Robin was tired, he probably didn't get much sleep last night and it was because of him, which made him kind of sad. He recalled how Robin saved him and took care of him last night, even though he behaved badly with Robin, Robin still helped him.

Robin opened his eyes, and looked James, "What are you staring at?" James' reverie broke and he looked away from Robin's face, "Oh nothing I was just about to wake you up that's it!" 

"Oh!!" Robin adjusted his position and rested his back on a pillow, "are you alright sir?"

"Yes I am, are you ok?" James asked, "Yea I am" replied Robin. "I think we should go now" James ordered. "B-But sir, I think we should eat something first" Robin suggested, James stared at Robin, "What did you say! Say it again!" "Oh it's nothing, yes we should leave now". Said Robin as they both dressed up.

"Let's go Robin, my manager is waiting downstairs with his car" James and Robin left the motel.

(In the car)

"Good morning sir, I hope you are doing well" his manager greeted him. "Sir, The news about The Director of Oceanwave Films being a rapist has spread like wild fire, they have cancelled the project" his manager informed.

James' face became pale as he remembered the incident. "Um sir are you ok?" The Manager asked. "Hey I think we shouldn't mention that infront of him, he seems uncomfortable" Robin interrupted.

He stopped the car infront of James' bungalow, there were a bunch of news reporters who had already gathered infront of his house. As they all came out from the car. The news reporters surrounded them "Sir! Can you tell us the details what exactly happened yesterday ".  "Sir is it true that you spent the whole night at a motel yesterday, why do you have such a tight security?".  "Sir why did you bring your chef to the studio that night? Are you in love with him"  he was flooded with numerous questions.  Robin and the manager tried to walk through the crowd along with James, "we are sorry but we won't like to share any personal information, please don't bother Mr. Bell, he is tired" they both tried to convince the media. But they couldn't. "Mr. Robin do you like Mr. James Bell, what is the relationship between both of you? Why did he bring you with him to the studio?" A reporter asked. "Sorry ma'am can you please stop asking personal questions, that is literally none of your business, we have to go" Robin dragged James and his manager along with him forcefully and ignored the crowd. James unlocked the doors and they entered the bunglow and locked it from within.

The reporters left. As they entered the bungalow Richard and Edward rushed towards them. "Sir are you ok? We saw the news it's everywhere" James felt sick in his stomach as soon as he heard about the incident again, he couldn't utter a word.
"Brother I think he is uncomfortable, don't mention it infront of him" Said Robin.

James broke down into tears, he hugged Robin tightly as Robin hugged him back. "It's ok it's ok!!!" Robin rubbed his(James) back as he comforted him.
Everyone was surprised as they have never seen James like that. "What about today's work?" The manager. "Well we need to cancel it, he is clearly not well and won't be able to attend work" Robin suggested. "Yea you are absolutely right!! I will just inform the agency about it" The Manager remarked as he left the house. Richard and Edward went  towards James, they held their hand out to touch his back inorder to comfort him, "No! Don't touch me! Don't come near me!" James screamed. "But master..."

"Let him be brother, he doesn't seem to be in the right state of mind, I'm taking him to his room".  Said Robin as he walked James to his room.

They both sat on the bed. Robin placed his hand on James' shoulder, "Hey I'm sorry for what happened it's not your fault, I should have been more careful" James' eyes lit up as he heard those words, "It's not my fault?" No it's not, besides you, there were other two girls also got harassed, it's the director who is the problem, his mind is filled with lust, he is disgusting, none of you are to blame.

James looked at Robin with his eyes wide open, "what are you staring at?" Robin asked, "Nothing!" James turned his head away. 

"I think you should rest, I'm going downstairs, today is cleaning day right, give me the key, let them unlock the cleaner". Robin asked, "Oh and I gotta prepare the food as well, yesterday night no one got to have dinner".

"Hey, I will go with you" James insisted. "Okay sir!" They both went to the basement where the gardener, cleaner and the Servant had been living. They entered the basement, the three of them looked at eachother.

Robin had been giving them food, after he became James' personal chef, James never entered the basement since then. They were surprised to see James present in person, they thought something serious must have happened and now they all are gonna be killed.

"Master please, don't kill us, atleast spare our lives, we beg you, whatever mistake that we might have done unintentionally that caused you problem, we will never repeat it again, we are sorry." The three of them begged on their knees.

"No you all didn't do anything, Robin just came to take the cleaner guy out as today is cleaning day, but I came here because I have something to say" Said James, "I think you all should move to the empty rooms on the second floor and not stay in the basement" As these words were out from James' mouth, Other's jaw dropped.  "W-What did you say?!" Robin asked once more as he couldn't believe if what he heard was true or not.  "You heard me what I said, now take all of your things and come with me" James walked out as the others followed him.

(Second floor)

They all arrived on the second floor, with their belongings, Richard and Edward were surprised to see them. "Master....!!".  "Yes they are gonna stay here from now on" Robin interrupted.
