Something About Him {Vincent x Phone Guy}

Desmond's Comes Home with Unexpected News {Chapter 27}

Desmond's P.O.V

"Please don't call me Ashley, I'd rather be called Ash." Ash explains, avoiding eye contact.
"Sure, Ash." I say with a smile. I felt like I was just given permission to the key of the world.

The teacher tapped his fingers against the table impatiently, classmates noticed and sat down. Yes, he can be bright, but when he's angry... even hell can't save us. I looked over at Ash, she sat by a window, but was two rows in front of me, and I was in the back. It was nice to see her blond hair shimmering in the sun rays. I felt eyes staring at me, so I instinctively jerked my head, Kolby was staring. I smiled and waved, he slightly smiled back.

??? P.O.V

She keeps telling me to kill him.
She'll whisper in my ear with such a soothing voice, saying such deadly words. I try not to listen to her, but she is all I can hear. I don't know who she is, but she reminds me of someone, though I can't see her, I can hear a familiar voice.
He's looking at me.

Desmond's P.O.V

"You're going to have to pick a topic, any topic, with your groups and present it to the class." The teacher instructs, I feel like hiding.

I'm not good with presenting, the judgmental stares didn't help. Koby, Dean, Ash and I shove our tables together, sitting down like business men at a conference.

"So... what's our topic?" Kolby says, crossing his legs and clasping his hands together. Everyone around him is thinking, but I can't think of anything.
"How... about... anime?" Dean suggests quietly. Kolby shakes his head.
"No no, we need something... more..." He trails off, trying not to offend Dean with his otaku ways. "How about dinosaurs?" Kolby exclaims, raising his hands and making a 'rawr' sound. I giggle under my breath.
"It's sounds interesting, but I think everyone will be doing that," I reply, looking over at the other groups.
"Then what's your brilliant idea?" Kolby spat angrily, offended by my response.

Everyone was looking at me, including Ash. Just her staring at me made me nervous, and I didn't know what to say. My mouth and tongue felt numb, and my brain was empty. I don't know what to say, anything I could think of... but there was nothing.

"... Pizzeria." Ash mumbles, everyone is silent.
"Pardon?" Kolby asks, cupping his ear.
"Why don't we do a project on Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria?" Ash suggest, everyone is just nodding their heads, but I slam my hands on the desk and shoot myself up.
"No!" I exclaim. The whole class is silent, Ash, Dean, and Kolby are staring at me with wide eyes, I slink back down in my seat. "I mean, that's a good idea!"

They began talking about the animatronics, the childhood memories, and I sat there silently, playing with my fingers.

"You ok Desmond?" Ash asks quietly, kicking my foot from underneath the table.
"... Yeah." I lie, looking up at her for half a second, looking down at my fingers.
"You don't seem ok. If you didn't want to do this topic, then you should have just said so." Ash comments shyly, facing the group but addressing me.

I hide my warm face in my arms, Kolby grabs at my shoulder.

"Yo, you ok Des?" He asks, shaking my shoulder.
"I'm fine." I muffle through my sleeves.

I'll be fine.

School has ended, I'm walking beside Kolby and Dean. Ash has to walk the opposite way so we waved goodbye. Kolby and I were chatting, when suddenly, I heard a familiar voice.

"Hey, you're coming home with me." He says, I look up, my eyes widen in fear. It's Xav.
"W-What are you doing here?" I ask, trembling in fear.
"I'm taking you home," He answers. "I knew you'd be here, you've always been such a goody-two-shoes."

The smirk on his face made my eyebrows furrow, I didn't realize that my hands were balled into a fist until Kolby grabbed my arm.

"Who's this?" He whispered.
"My older brother." I grit my teeth.
"C'mon, you've gotta come home now, I've got bring you-"
"I'M NOT GOING WITH YOU!" I scream, ripping Kolby's grasp and running.

I've always hated the feel of running, the way your legs slowly burn like the wax of a candle, how your lungs deflate faster than a balloon. The fear, the fear of not running fast enough. Before I knew it Xav was on my tail, he wrapped his arms around my waist and continued running as I was wailing and kicking.

"LET GO OF ME!!!" I scream, maybe someone will hear and call the cops, resulting with Xav in jail, it makes me snicker.
"Bra- I mean Desmond. I'm going to change." He says seriously, looking at me with large eyes.
"What do you mean?" I ask, he slightly smiles.
"First off, the clothes store."

Which he did, he took me to the clothes store to get some new clothes, Xav was smiling patiently the whole time, and commented how everything looked good on me. Next we went to the toy store, where I gratefully took some toys. I was beginning to smile, he was actually acting like a real brother.

"I told you I'd change." He comments as we walk. "The last place we're going to isn't as... pleasent... as the other places."

I didn't understand what he meant, but I understood once we reached the hospital. Why are we at the hospital? Did something happen? Xav grabbed my hand and squeezed it tightly before entering. The lobby smelled stale and sour, and was surrounded by sick people, which I know is what supposed to be in a hospital, but these people looked so miserable. Their expressions were pushing down on me, so thankfully Xav got me out of there as fast as he could. We stood in the elevator silently, I didn't want to ask what happened, and from the look on his face, it looked like he didn't want to answer.

"We're here." He mutters under his breath, guiding me to room 203.

When I entered the room, I noticed daddy's ponytail.

"Daddy." I say, he looks over at us with puffy eyes.

We walk over, and when I notice who's in the bed, I lay my head on his chest and sob into the bandages.

"Other daddy!"

Author's Note:
Well... this was a sad chapter to write.
I'm starting to really like the bond between the brothers... hopefully it stays that way~
