Milo

  “What if something happened to him? Or maybe Nathan broke out of jail and got him, or—”

"Bun, calm down." I stand up from the sofa, watching him pace around the room. I didn't know how to calm him down at all, Damien has been missing for several hours, and I was panicking as well.

He hasn't been answering our texts or phone calls.

"What if he's—"

"Hey—" I grab his wrist, stopping his aimless pacing. I place my hand on his cheek, his eyes are red and puffy from crying. I realized that his hands were shaking, and his breaths were shallow. "Breathe baby, deep breaths. He's ok, I promise he's ok."

I hope he is

"Tengo miedo, ¿y si está herido o desaparecido? ¿Y si Nathan lo tiene?" He worriedly rambled. I understood a few words that he said. Scared, Hurt, Missing, and Nathan. Luckily I took foreign language in my junior year of high school. (Im scared, what if he's hurt or  missing? What if Nathan has him?)

"Nathan is in jail, he cant do anything to him. And Damien is strong, a better fighter than both of us, so i'm sure he's alright, ok?" I use my finger to wipe the water that pours from him eye. He continues to sniff and hiccup, staring at me with worry before his breathing soon regulates.

"Bueno."
(Okay)

"It's gonna be ok, Damien is gonna come back."
I smile, trying to stay happy for him. The only reason I'm not panicking on his level is because if I do, then he'll be even worse than he is right now. He needs someone to calm him down, so I don't have the luxury to be panicking right.

"Te amo mucho." His lips tugged a smile at me. My cheeks reddened at his words, he's told those words so many times, but hearing him say it in his first language makes me blush like a teenage girl. (I love you so much)

I love you more Caleb."

His face buries in my neck, and we stay there. In the middle of my room. I slowly guide us to the bed, and lay down with him, he never detaches from me, his grip tight as if he was going to lose me next. Eventually I feel his breath slow, and gentle snores hits my neck

I slightly pull away and see his eyes closed, his mouth agap open as he breathes through his mouth. I smile before pressing a kiss his lower lips. As I pull away and loosen his grip around me, unhooking his tight grip until I'm free. I get out of bed, just before I leave, I watch him stir around, his arm subconsciously feeling for my body before getting hold of a pillow, making it his prisoner. I smile at the adorable sight before leaving the room, gently shutting the door to not wake him.

I make my way downstairs, the moment my foot hits the bottom floor I hear a knock on the front door.

Was it Damian?

I hurry to the front door, ripping it open. And there stands my missing boyfriend. He had only had on a sweater, jeans, and some slippers. He looked as if he rushed out of the house.

I pulled him into a hug, "Where have you been all day?" I mutter in his chest, feeling the fear and worry I've been suppressing all day overwhelm me and I squeeze him tight.

"I've been... out."

I yank myself back, "Clearly, but where? I was worried sick— Caleb was worried sick about you, he's been panicking all day, worried that Nathan somehow managed to break out of jail and got to you. And I've been trying to keep him from having a panic attack all day, while trying not to have one myself." My voice laced with distress, worry, and anger at the same time. He's been gone all day. No texts, no calls, no nothing, he didn't even tell us where he was going, or that he was leaving.

He doesn't say anything, guilt spreads across his face as he looks at me.

"Damien you—" I sigh, "Sleep in your room tonight. You've caused everyone enough stress. I don't feel like arguing at this time of night. Im going to check on Caleb." I turn around but I feel him grab my hand, which causes me to turn around. "What?"

"I'm sorry for making you worry."

"Tell that to Caleb who was shaking he was so worried about you." I pull my hand away and go back upstairs, completely disregarding the reason I came down here in the first place, and head back to my room where Caleb was sleeping. Still holding the pillow as prisoners.

I remove the pillow and push myself in between his arms. I held him close before shutting my eyes. His breathing lulling me to sleep.

~~~

    I felt weight lay down behind me before an arm drap over me. My eyes flutter open, peeping behind me and seeing Damien. Immediately I turned the other way, not wanting to even look at him.

"Milo, I'm sorry."

I stay quiet, letting the silence engulf him with guilt. I was upset with him. He's been gone all day, and he won't even say why. I was scared that he was gonna leave again.

Tears formed in my eyelids

What if that's what he's planning? To leave again. Leave me behind and not look back.

"I told you to sleep in your bed tonight. Why are you here?" I bit down on my lip, desperately trying to stop a sob from spilling.

"Because I love you guys, and I know I need to explain." He said gently as he presses a soft, loving kiss on the back of my neck.

"Don't say you love us after leaving—" My voice cracked as I let out a sob, my waterworks spilled over, "—us without any word about where you were. I thought you left again, that you—"

He turned my body around, his eyes slightly widened as distraught and severe guilt sewed his expression as he saw my tears filling and falling from my eyes, "Don't cry, I'm sorry that I made you cry." He presses his lips against me. "I'm so sorry."

"You aren't gonna leave again? Like before."

"Like before?" He questions, his thumb caressing over my cheek.

"All those years ago. I lost you guys, I don't want that to happen again. When you left I thought that you—"

"No, no, never again. I will never leave either of you like that again. I love you guys too much to leave." He presses his head against mine, pecking my cheek, not taking his distress and guilty eyes off me.

"Then where were you today, and why didn't you answer any of our texts or calls?"

"Because something came up about my mom, and I wanted to make sure she was ok. As much as I didn't want to. And my phone went dead, see." He pulled out his phone, holding down on the power button so I could see it was dead. "I left in a hurry because she was in the hospital, but she's ok and back at home. I would never leave you."

"I'm sorry for—"

"Don't apologize. It was my fault, you have the right to be worried. You've been making sure Caleb doesn't freak out, so you've had to surpress your emotions." He pet a hand through my hair before kissing my forehead, "And I'm sorry that you had to do that because of me."

I use both of my hands to dry my face, sighing as my face pushes in his chest. "I love you."

"I love you too."
