Thrown Into Trouble

Colton And Toby 2

Toby's pov
Me and Colton were now in the car on the way back to their house. While we were still at all of theirs except for mine and Jacob's parents house Blake was trying to comfort Dylan but he was clearly hurting too so it wasn't working. Danny then tried as well to comfort him but even Danny couldn't manage to comfort Dylan like he usually manages to. I have only seen a few of their twin comfort moments and by a few I mean only two prior to the ones that have happened today but I can tell it is out of the ordinary for Danny not to be able to calm Dylan down. You could read it on everyone who knew them's faces that it wasn't normal for Danny not to be able to calm him down. It ended up taking Clayton to get Dylan to somewhat calm down, sometimes we just need our parents or at least one of them and that's apparently what he needed but Danny was also still right there. Blake wasn't far either but Mason was comforting him even though I could tell Blake was trying to hold it together that way Dylan could break down and not have to worry about him but I could see it all over him he was just as upset as Dylan was. Hell, I'm pretty sure it was obvious to everyone in the room no matter how hard Blake was trying to hide it. Drew said he would watch Jacob to make sure he didn't do anything, no one was going to be coming up with anything to do or figuring out what else Jacob knows about all this until Blake and Dylan were as calm as their parents and Danny could get them and that was clearly going to take awhile. I don't think I have seen Blake and Dylan this upset ever, especially when it comes to crying and sad crying at that.

The only time I have seen Dylan cry was when I helped Blake set up a special and very romantic date for them. But that's not the point, the point is I have never seen them like this. Since they were so upset and it was going to take a while for them to calm down, Colton said we would go back to the house to see if anything was there or if someone went there while we were here to say something else about what happened to Alex. Before we left I checked on the animals since everyone seemed to forget they existed once they saw the note and read it, like they did earlier with me in the room while they were talking about things that I apparently wasn't supposed to know about but they were too distracted to remember or realize I was still there and heard the whole conversation. Anyways, I knew Alex would want the animals checked on considering he says they are his babies and he is a single dad of 3. They were good on water but their food bowls were empty and even though I know they have scheduled feeding times who knows when anyone would be back here well other than me to check on them but besides that who knows so I wanted to make sure they had some food to eat in case I can't make it over here for whatever reason. But to go along with why we are leaving I feel like Dylan is going to end up crying himself to sleep with how upset he is and with the lack of sleep they both had especially last night, I would be surprised if it didn't knock him out and make him end up falling asleep.

And I know that if that happens like it most likely will they won't wake Dylan up and they can't discuss all that much without him being awake considering this is about Alex and Dylan wouldn't want to miss any information especially with what is going on and the state he is in because of all this and his withdrawal symptoms making him have such bad anxiety and panic attacks. But I need to ask Colton about what they do for work, technically I asked earlier and he said he would tell me later and I also already heard them say it but I want to hear him say it and for him to actually tell me. Because right now I only know because they forgot I was in the room and said it because they were distracted with the situation that is going on which I honestly can't blame them considering what has happened. Plus what other time is there for us to talk about it? Once we find Alex he is going to be busy making sure he is ok like all the rest of us will be and there won't be time to talk about it then and then once we get to the house he's going to be busy with trying to find Alex again so the only time to really talk about it is now while we are in the car. I look at Colton and his knuckles are white from how hard he is holding onto the steering wheel, ok so now isn't a great time to talk about it either but I need to know what's going on and the only time I have to ask him is now so hopefully this goes well. "Babe" I say and Colton looks at me for a second before looking at the road again since he is driving and we aren't at a stop light or anything. His grip on the steering wheel loosened a bit and his knuckles were starting to get some color back to them but they still aren't back to their normal color.
