Michael x Noah 🙏

41. ~Seriously?~

Michaels pov:
Ever since I told Noah about what I've been feeling, he's been extra cautious. I appreciate that he cares, obviously, but I feel even more uncomfortable. I don't think it's Noah though. I feel like I'm being watched even more. I can't even change without feeling uncomfortable. That's why I haven't changed in literally almost three full days. Not the nicest feeling, Noah even questioned it.
"Are you actually okay, Michael?" He looks at me as he walks back into his room with water.
"Yeah." I reply shortly.
"Really? You haven't changed in a few days and you've barely gotten up too..." He walks over to the bed and sits.
"I'm fine." I say again.
Noah gets up and throws me a pair of clean sweatpants, a shirt and one of his hoodies. "Change..." He starts to walk out of the room.
"Wait... please stay in here." I say before he makes it to the door.
"Of course, love," He smiles. He sits back down in the bed as I begin to change "Is this because of you feeling watched?"
I hesitate to nod.
I finished getting changed and leaned up against him, sitting up.
"Noah... I don't feel..." I start. "I'm scared..."
Noah waits a few seconds before pulling me in for a hug. "I know... I'm sorry there's nothing I can do..."
"It's not your fault..." I whisper back.
"Do you wanna do something today? Maybe get your mind off this the best it can?" Noah looks at me as he asks.
"Sure..." I answer. "Can we go to the mall??"
"Of course, whatever you want." Noah smiles.

We both make it to the mall. It's around 1:37pm when we get to the mall. The whole car ride, I felt watch free, but as soon as I stepped out of the car, the feeling came back. I tried to hide the feeling because I want Noah to think I'm having a good time.
"So what do you wanna do here?" Noah holds my hand.
"I don't know..." I turn my head away. "I guess just shop. Maybe get lunch..."
"That's a first." Noah chuckles, both of us walking through the main doors.

We start walking around for a bit. We walk into one store. A guy starts walking up to us, the guy being no one more than Fredrick.
"Michael! Hey, how's it going?" He punches my shoulder like we used to do to each other in high school. Noah glares at him as I run my shoulder a bit.
"Let's catch up, man, it's just us, no Mark or Simon-"
"Uh, I'm okay-" I try to say, but Fredrick starts to push me to the door. "Oh- uh- okay-" I give in. I shrug at Noah as he gives me a look.
"Don't worry, Noah, he'll be back in no time. Just wait around or something." Fredrick says before he finally takes us out the door and into the main part of the mall.
"So, Michael, where you wanna go? Oh! Let's go over here!" Fredrick dragged me to a very low populated area in the mall, then, to an area we definitely aren't allowed in. I know that because me and the other three used to break into places at this mall all the time.
"What are we doing?" I ask.
"Don't worry, you'll see in about 10 seconds." Fredrick walks behind me. Not even 6 seconds later, I feel a horrible pain in my side.
"AH-" Fredrick puts a cloth over my face and my vision starts to black out as I feel my body go limp.

Fredrick's pov:
Finally, After a while, I finally did it! Williams gonna be so proud of me! Maybe I'll even get a premonition. Like, yeah, I've gotten a bunch of other people he wanted, but this is the one person he's wanted all along. No one more than his very own son.

I pick up the very light Michael. Like I'm talking very light, and carry him out the door that leads to a different parking lot. I bring him to a black SUV and put him in the back so Mark can keep watch of him.
"You actually got him, boss is gonna love us!" Simon says from the drivers seat. I get into the passengers seat.
"Hit the road, Simon, we've got a lot to show Boss."

Noah's pov:
It's been more than 30 minutes. I've been sitting in the food court at a bench, waiting for Michael. I was about to text him when I realized I had his new phone I bought him today, not set up what so ever. I get up and decide to look for him. I look around the whole place once, twice, three times, I can't find him anywhere.
Okay, don't panic. He's okay. He's just with Fredrick. Fredrick. Is he okay... I won't leave until I find him or he finds me... I need to chill the fuck out.
