Calum's P.O.V.
A year later
I am so close to knowing who took him! Just missing like a few clues. Come on! Calum think! My head is killing me now. I go to the store and buy some milk and chocolate already knowing I'm not going to sleep. I feel as if I'm being watched when I leave Kroger. I quickly walk to my car and get in. I lock the doors and immediately drive home. I go into my room and lay down in the darkness. I think about Michael and the emotions I left him with.
I shut my eyes trying to think of something else. I feel my mind drift into sleep.

Michael's P.O.V.
I hate it here. I can hear Sir outside. I lay back down and pretend to be alseep. Sir isn't that mean all the time. I just make him mad and he takes it out on me. He comes into my room and throws me against the wall. He shoves a knife to my throat and says, "I'm letting you go because I'm bored with you. If you ever tell anyone! I will hunt you down and kill you! Understood?" "Y-Yes Sir." "Good." He threw me some clothes and gave me my jacket back. He handed me $200 dollars to help me get somewhere.
"How is 200 enough? I can't survive on $200!"
"Leave sl-Michael before I change my mind."
"Yes Sir." I left the house and walked down the street. It's about 7:30 in the morning. It's cold and I'm tired. I sit down by a Walgreens. I lay down on the bench near the front of the store. A woman comes out and gives me some Ramen noodles. I thank her quietly and start to eat.

Soon after that I throw away the plastic ware and start to walk. I walk to a store and buy a blanket and pillow. I already know I'll be alone for a long time. Schools out for winter so everyone is gone anyways. I sit down behind the Walgreens and start to rummage through the dumpsters. I find two big boxes. I set them up and lay down. I haven't slept in days or maybe even weeks. I'm just so tired. I need to shower and pee. I go into the store and use their bathroom. I buy a small cup and some snacks for the day. I go back to my boxes and relax. I eat some of the snacks and try to go to sleep.

Calum's P.O.V.
Beep Beep Beep
I quickly turn off my alarm. I look at my phone, attempting to see what time it is. Oh shit! It's 7:30pm! I have work in five fucking minutes! I get dressed and grab my phone. I drive as fast as I can to the store and go to my boss. It's already 7:45 when I get there. "Sir, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to be late, I promise it will not happen again!"
"It's better not happen again or it'll come out of your pay check!"
"Uh yes sir."
I clean the floors and pick up the messy aisles. I give all the money in the register to the manager for counting. I clean the check out tables and organize the candy. I clean both bathrooms which was a mistake. My coworker throws me a trash bag and tells me to take it out. I go out the back door and go to the dumpster. I chuck it in and head back inside. I hear a very faint whisper, "Sir, do you have any food? I'm very hungry and the store is closed." I swear it sounds so familiar. I say, "I can give you something if you come to me, I can't help you if I can't see you sweetheart." He sounds young so I try to be as nice as possible. He steps out of the dark as its already midnight. I see the beautiful familiar face. I gasp and try to hug him. "Oh Michael! I thought you were dead!"
"Calum, please stop. You're hurting me."
"Sorry honey. Why are you sleeping on the street?"
"Well Sir threw me out. He handed me $200 and said to leave. He was bored of me and he wanted a new boy."
"Did he ever hurt you like... rape you?" I say the last part barely above a whisper.
He nodded and started to cry. He hugged me and asked me for help again. I bring him inside and feed him some cereal. I take him into the bathroom and try to get him cleaned up.
"Don't worry baby. I'll give you a bath when we get home ok?"
"Ok Cal. When do you get off work?"
"It's 1:30 so 30 minutes."
He nodded and I hugged him again. I help him to the car and buckle him in. I get in and we drive back to my house. It's late so my parents are asleep anyway. I carry him into the house and take him to the bathroom. I start him a bath and let him undress. I wash his hair and his body. I let him wear one of my tee shirts and a pair of clean boxers.
I ask him, "where do you wanna sleep?"
"Actually I was wondering if I could sleep in your room with you. If it's ok with you of course?"
"Oh yeah, it's ok."
We go into my room and he lays down. I take off my shirt and my pants. I climb into bed with him and turn out the light. He turns to the wall and I lay there. I feel a small hand on my forearm, moving it. Michael snuggles into my chest and falls alseep. I cuddle him and soon fall asleep as well.
