I'll keep you safe honey

Chapter 15 - It's all in your head

"it wasn't your fault Jonathon...it's okay...you're okay" Vanoss opened his arms up in a gesture for a hug.

Delirious nodded slightly still doubting that it wasn't his fault. He leaned his head against Evan's chest; it felt nicer with Vanoss's arms around him making the two warm and just happy.

Jonathon winced again as one of the shallow stabs in his stomach stung like he just touched a hot pan that was still on the oven. Evan sighed and rubbed his back gently in a caring way, Delirious looked up at him with a half smile.

"I...I'm sorry Evan, I can go back home if your sick of me and all the trouble I cause" he rubbed his eyes to stop tears once again but also because he was still tired from the lack of sleep. Evan shook his head 'what the heck was he thinking? Sick of HIM? That was impossible he...he...' Vanoss got lost in his own thoughts. Jonathon looked down sighing at the lack of communication from the other.

"I'm guessing that is a yes?" he said in a bitter tone, which wasn't at all like Delirious usually he never got really 'mad' sure he got in the normal pissy moods but nothing to serious. Evan blinked his eyes a few times finally coming back to reality "n-no! I mean.. no of course not, I love your company Jonathon" he mumbled.

"You need help and....I'm going to be the one to do that". All Jonathon did was nod his head slowly with a sad smile on his face "...I'm tired now, I just think I want some time to myself?" he said looking at Vanoss as he moved away from the embrace.

Nodding, Evan made his way out of the room. Some part of him didn't want to be anywhere away from the beat up boy but he knew how it felt to want to have some space. Usually Evan wasn't a very 'people' person well of course he enjoyed company from his friends and family but he always had to have at least 5 minutes to 'recharge' as they say.

He walked into the living room not knowing what to do with himself, sitting on the couch he rubbed his temples thinking of ...just everything that had happened these last few days with Delirious. 'why didn't he let me call 911?' 'Why did he open the door?' 'why didn't he wake me?' and as he sat there with all these questions floating around in his mind there was one right in the back of his mind...one that he dreaded to even think about 'was there really a stalker?...or was it all in his head?'.

Of course Vanoss believed Jonathon. But it was just to strange for a stranger to find him so easily.

Shaking his head Evan slowly laid down on the couch switching the television on as he watched a random footy game, eventually he fell asleep again.

Delirious was lying on his bed looking up at the ceiling, he felt a sick turning feeling in his stomach. He wasn't sure if it was the pain from the cut or just the medicine Vanoss gave him, soon he felt that horrible tightness in his neck like the feeling right before you throw up.

Jonathon scrambled to his feet but it was to late he was throwing up all over the floor and just couldn't stop. Delirious fell to his knees sobbing, he felt dizzy suddenly he saw a blood mark on the leg of his pants moving a hand up to his face feeling the blood streaming from his nose.

Delirious passed out hitting his head on the floor knocking him out for a while.

Jonathon opened his eyes but closed them again tightly from the bright light in his face, groaning he tried bringing his hands up to rub his eyes but was unable to do so.

"w-what?" he mumbled out as he pulled his hands up trying to break free of the some sort of belt material that was wrapped tight around his wrists. Delirious started to panic 'did he get me?' 'where am I?', squinting his eyes trying to block out the light as much he could but still be able to see slightly.

Jonathon sighed in relief when he made out the room, he was in the hospital. Opening his eyes properly he looked around and then down at his hands 'why were they tied?', he quickly lost attention from his hands to a noise in front of him.

Delirious looked up seeing Vanoss, he smiled widely "Evan!...what happened?" he mumbled out not being able to remember anything.

Vanoss walked to the side of the bed and hugged him "I'm sorry Jonathon...I can't help you, but I'm happy your okay...". Delirious happily hugged back but soon pulled away "what do you mean...?" he said with a slight weakness in his voice.

Evan frowned and furrowed his eyebrows "...there was never any stalker Delirious...it was...it was all in your head" he said sadly looking down. "what the fuck are you talking about? I'm...I'm not crazy!" Delirious felt furious, he thought Evan believed him?!.

Vanoss shook his head " I didn't say you were crazy...the doctors took a brain scan...an-" "shut up! I thought you believed me!" Delirious yelled out, he felt tears start to stream down his face.

"shh!" Evan frowned and kissed his cheek "don't cry...i..i -" 'no you don't! ...he's real I know it!". "but he's not real! I looked through your phone and there wasn't anything! My nabours said they saw you outside in the middle of the night jumping through my window! He isn't fucking real Jonathon!" Evan yelled he just couldn't take it anymore.

Delirious looked at him with wide eyes, how could Evan betray him? "you just think I'm fucking crazy don't you!?" he yelled back at him.

A face shade of red, full of anger and irritation Jonathon just couldn't even look at Evan in the eyes right at this moment.
