Taken 2 (SEQUEL TO TAKEN)

He's Here

Will's P.O.V

I woke up in extreme warmness and it was surprisingly comfortable. I opened my eyes and glanced around the room. It's been a couple months since we met part of Rylee's gang and we decided to have a giant sleepover at her place. I rubbed a hand down my face in exhaustion and tried to move but an arm was tightly wrapped around my waist.

It's been a long time since I was last in this position. Doesn't help that I'm the only gay guy in our school that's not closeted. It causes me to get bullied but I don't like keeping secrets like that bottled up. However my bruises and bullying are things that I don't mind keeping. Declan doesn't even know and I tell him everything.

I looked behind my shoulder to see Declan's sleeping face. His lip piercing glistening in the sunlight shining through the curtain. From the past few months that I have known him, we've become quite close

I grabbed his hand in mine and pried his arm from my waist quickly climbing off the couch. I stretched ignoring the pain emitting from my stomach and walked to the bathroom.

I looked at myself in the mirror. Dark purplish bags under my eyes from being sleep deprived. A slight bruise on my jaw line. I have plain brown eyes and blonde hair that was in a disheveled pile on my head. I'm not a bad looking guy but I'm not the greatest.

I took a step back and carefully lifted my shirt. The dark bruise covered my stomach and I winced when I lightly pressed my hand on it. There was a few others but not as bad. I heard a gasp from the door way and yanked my shirt back down and closed my eyes knowing I was caught.

"W-Will..." he whispered.

I choked back a cry that was building in my throat. "Yeah?"

I opened my eyes and a tear fell down one cheek as I turned and looked at Declan. A pained expression crossed his face.

"What was that? I-I...who the hell did that?" he asked.

I started to panic and lying was the only thing I could come up with. "I fell."

He glared. "Don't lie to me Will. Are they people at school?"

I forget to mention that they started school with us as well. "No."

"Damn Will, please stop lying to me. Why won't you tell me?" he asked walking towards me.

I stayed silent as he gently pushed me into the counter his hands on my hips.

"I-It's not that I don't w-want to tell you...I just...it's hard for me to talk about." I whispered.

His hands found their way to the hem of my shirt and slowly pulled it up to show the bruises. I let out a whimper and shut my eyes.

"Will look at me."

I felt him shift against me and then I felt his warm lips press against my stomach. The sharp coolness of his piercing making my breath hitch. A cry racked through my body and Declan pulled me into a hug.

"Why are you protecting them?" he asked.

"I'm not! God Declan..." I pushed him away. "Why can't you listen to me? I don't want to talk about it, and I don't want you going and beating the shit out of them."

He faltered. "I'm sorry."

"No. Just stop. Why do you even care?" I sneered. He doesn't deserve this, but nobody ever really cares.

"Because I like you Will! I really like you and I don't like seeing you hurt!" he yelled.

We're probably waking the others up but I don't care. "You like m-me?"
