Worlds Apart

Chapter 9: Captive?

WP-1

'Petch?! Gun's right hand man? How come he's here? I-I thought P'Pakin had dealt with them?' Sky wanted to cry. But he held himself.

~A week ago [Sky ran away from Rain and Phayu]~

"I-I need to go." Sky bolted right away not looking back even when he could hear Rain running and calling for his name.

Sky got on a taxi to get home, he went straight to their bedroom and packed some of his clothes. He really didn't have any plans on where to stay but he just can't face Prapai right now. He needed to clear his mind first. What Sky did first was book a hotel room for the rest of that day and night. He knew making rushed decisions wouldn't really lead to anything good. He knew he had to talk to Prapai one of these days, but right now- right now he just can't face him yet.

Once in the hotel room Sky breathed in and out, calming himself.

'Don't rush to conclusions Sky, think logically. Think. P'Pai did seem different from when he woke up from the hospital.'

Sky organized his thoughts for the whole day. He fell asleep with thoughts of his P'Pai.

'Just where did you go then P'Pai? You said you'd never leave me...' A tear fell from his eyes before he completely succumbed to sleep.

He stayed at the hotel for two more days before he decided he would just go home to his father in Lopburi. Surely, even not being the Prapai he knew, he would know to come to Lopburi when he can't find me anywhere else. I just hope he's actually looking for me.

What Sky never thought of was that he'd be attacked right as he got off the bus that took him to Lopburi.

Sky wasn't really aware of what was happening and even for how long he had been held captive but what he knew was that they'd been taking him from one place to another.

~back to present~

Sky schooled his expression before answering.

"What do you want from me?" He asked as calmly as he could. He knew too well how much Gun and Petch loved making him hurt and cry. And he was not to give such satisfaction to this animal.

"From you? No. But from Patheera? I have plenty of things I want from him! First I want him to beg. Then maybe I'll have his head last?" Petch laughed maniacally.

Sky's face fell at the mention of Prapai, not only that but of Prapai's death.

'No! No! Not P'Pai!' He's already mentally screaming. Sky looked at Petch once more, this wasn't the same Petch he last saw almost two years ago. This Petch is more of a monster than Gun had ever looked like. Petch looked like he had actually lost his mind.

'Please, please don't find me! Stay away P'Pai. Please... Oh god...'

Sky walked behind Rain as they went down stairs with Porsche and Pete beside them.

"Nong Sky, you can hold on to me if you like." Pete offered his arm seeing how tight Sky was gripping Rain's arm.

"It's okay Khun Pete, I'll help Sky." Rain just smiled at Pete.

Pete looked at the two boys, now he knew why Porsche also wanted him with them. Signs of abuse and obviously a non consensual one at that can be seen at Sky's reactions and reflexes.

It was as if Sky thinks everyone was out to hurt him if he doesn't beg. But Pete is still relieved that at least Rain's still there anchoring Sky. Rain has been nothing but respectful to him and Porsche.
