"Ok so pretty bad news here guys," Dylan said after he'd finally managed to get all the boys together the afternoon after he'd lost Matt.
They were in Dylan's room spread out. Danny stood beside Jorel, Aron sat in the windowsill, Jordon sat on George's lap and Dylan was sat on his bed.
"I'm going to assume it's the absolute dire situation you interrupted me for," Jorel said putting his arm around Danny's waist.
"Jorel, you've got the rest of your life to have sex with Danny and I'm sure he's had sex before so it's not like he's missing out on much," Dylan continued and Danny tried his best to not look uncomfortable while Jorel just kept his face blank, secretly happy that Aron didn't say or do anything to give Danny away.
If Danny discovered he'd told Aron, then the trust they'd built up would be broken down in one big ugly blow.
"Now I assume that most of you have noticed that Matt is not here and the reason for that is that Matt was taken last night by some crazy guy," Dylan explained and Jordon's eyes widened but not in shock but more of a realization.
"Shit, I didn't notice he was gone," Jordon said.
"How could you not notice?" George asked.
"I don't know, he just sorta fades aways the longer he doesn't say anything so I figured that he'd done that."
"You're unbelievable sometimes."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"I'm going to stop you guys there before you start yelling and I'd rather not have a headache," Dylan said and  George just rolled his eyes and Jordon pulled a face the boys had never seen before, it looked partly confused and partly worried.
"So the worst part is that this guy has given me two weeks to give Danny to him or somethings gonna happen to Matt," Dylan explained and the boys all looked at Danny and Jorel.
"I'm sorry Dylan but I'm not losing him now," Jorel said.
"Did he tell you his name?" Danny asked, face completely serious and Jorel just looked at Danny.
"Nope."
"Where do I have to go?"
"He just said I had to call him."
"You're actually thinking about doing this?" Jorel asked, very confused.
"I may not know Matt very well but I still class him as my friend and if he's with who I think it is then I'm not leaving him there," Danny said.
"I'm can't let you do that Danny," Jorel said.
"Well as much as it might pain you to hear this but I'm able to make my own choices Jorel," Danny argued.
The boys felt that the situation was like a mirror cracking slightly every time something hurtful was said.
"What does that mean?" Jorel asked annoyed.
"Jorel I love you very dearly but you seem to think that I can't make my own decisions." That comment shattered the mirror into pieces.
"Hold on I'm sorry what the actual fuck are you talking about?"
"There's also the fact that I feel like I can't tell you anything because you just go and tell Aron, like I bet you've told him the thing I told you the other day."
The boys were feeling extremely awkward and this argument was clearly going to get worse.
"Sure I tell him a few things but not everything."
"But did you tell him my secret?"
Jorel didn't say anything and this told Danny everything.
"I can't believe you, I thought I could trust you Jorel." Danny stepped away from Jorel, hurt in his eyes. This was a sight Jorel didn't want to see.
"Danny you can trust me but we can't do this now."
"Why not? They'd all find out anyway wouldn't they?"
"You're blowing this way out of proportion."
"No I'm fucking not."
"You kind of fucking are and-"
Jorel was cut off by Jordon and everyone was extremely thankful.
"Why don't we trick the guy?" Jordon asked and everyone stared at him, he actually had an idea.
"How do we do that?" Aron asked before Jorel got a word in.
"We send Danny there because he'll probably expect us all to go with him and then we go round the back of the building and get Matt ourselves and Danny can bolt out of there," Jordon explained.
"It sounds like a solid idea but I think we need to know the location and area before we go ahead with it," Dylan said and they all agreed on it, eventually.
Jorel left first, without saying a single word to Danny and Aron decided to go after him. Danny had waited a bit before leaving and Jordon and George left together, but something was off between them.

"Jorel just take a breath ok? I know you're pissed but people fight all the time, it's normal so just calm down alright?" Aron said pulling Jorel to a stop.
"Is it true?" Jorel asked not bothering to turn around.
"Is what true?" Aron asked confused.
"What Danny said about me, that I don't think he can make his own decisions?"
"To some degree, I mean you have been known to make decisions without asking anybody, but before you say anything else I don't think he meant it as an insult but more as a flaw that can be fixed," Aron explained, attempting to stop the time bomb that Jorel's anger was from going off.
"I guess I should go apologize to him then?"
"Just give him some time to process what just happened and what he's going to do and then go talk to him."

"Danny are you alright?" Danny's mom asked through the door.
When he didn't respond she opened his door to find him collapsed on his bed on his stomach. She sat at the end of his bed and sighed.
"Danny what happened honey?" She asked gently.
"Why does it hurt to love?" He asked, voice muffled from his face being hidden in his pillow.
"Because in order to love you must break so you can rebuild yourself with your lover."
"I don't like the idea of being broken."
"Nobody does but if he's really hurting you Danny then you should just leave him."
"I can't I love him too much, in fact it's my fault we're fighting."
"How is it?"
"I started the fight then I continued it even when he tried to stop it," Danny explained.
"Maybe you should apologize then," she said before leaving the room with a small smile.
"I'm sorry Jorel but I can't do that right now, sure I started the arguments but what I said is true and I need to know if I can trust you."
