"I hope Jacob is okay.." Elijah mumbled to himself while sitting on Mike's lap, eating breakfast. Mike stared at Elijah like he was crazy and then chuckled with disbelief. Elijah frowned and stopped eating, turning his head to look at Mike. "What's so funny? I'm serious, I hope he is okay.." Elijah stated again and Mike rolled his eyes as he groaned from his sore knuckles. "You beat him pretty badly Michael and now I feel bad about it. I don't want this whole thing to go down in violence." Elijah pouted and Mike scoffed.

"Now wouldn't that be a contradiction because I'm sorry, he lied to you...put you in danger and YOU feel bad?! He should feel bad for putting you harms way and then the lack of information about his life. It's really bad now because not only did he help plan with his fucking brother to kidnap you but he's defending his actions about the very fact that he raped you and made you fear Ray for the rest of your life." Mike spoke with anger and just slightly glared at Elijah. "Baby, I just don't think you are being fair to yourself about this. He keeps blaming me...actually they all blame me for that night when I had nothing to do with your rape."

Elijah quirked his eyebrows together and stood up, taking his empty plate to the sink. He stood at the sink for a second, trying to figure out how he was going to ask Mike this question without making it seem like he don't trust him. "Did you rape me though? Were you apart of the two men who did?" Elijah asked, staring at the sink water and washing his plate off then starting on the silverware.

"No! I told you that before! You keep asking me and they keep accusing me when I didn't do shit to you that night. I was there at the party yes, but raped you? I didn't even know you existed! Did you not see how surprised i was when my sister saved you!" Mike was getting upset and Elijah didn't know why. It was just a simple question.

"Why you getting so upset? Unless you did have something to do with it.." Elijah mumbles and Mike chuckles to himself, standing up and shaking his head.

"So if i was raped and then i kept asking you if you were the one constantly. Wouldn't you be upset? I guess not right? My reaction is just too extreme and over the top right?" Mike grabbed his keys and proceeded to the door.

"Mike where are you going? Don't leave me." Elijah whispered and Mike sighed.

"I just need to think..." Mike stated and then left the dorm. Elijah frowned and continued to clean up the mess in the kitchen. He grabbed his phone when he was finished and contemplated whether he should call Jacob or not so he did. After it rung for some time, Jacob finally answered with an angry voice.

"Why are you calling me? Remember you said you never wanted to hear for me again, right after the fact that your fucking boyfriend beat me so badly that it hurts to move. So, what the hell do you want Johnson?" Jacob spat in the phone and Elijah held the phone with sadness through his eyes. "Speak or I'm hanging up and blocking your number."

"I-i don't understand how you're mad at me! You lied to me Jacob! I trusted you with my life and you put me in danger just to keep me away from Michael! How selfish is that! You let Ray rape me for a week and then you guys chase me like y'all want to kill me and act like I'm not allowed to feel scared. I'm scared of all of you guys because I can't trust anybody and now you getting what you want, I'm questioning Mike's motive now! Isn't that what you wanted?! Matter a fact, how the hell could you keep something so important from me and then have the nerve to be upset with me Jacob!" Elijah spat back and Jacob sighed on the phone.

"It wasn't important at the time and still isn't important Elijah! What's important is the fact that you're putting all your trust into somebody who raped you that night! He's not the guy you think he is Elijah, I promise you he isn't! I'm sorry that my dumbass brother hurt and you don't ever have to talk to him again but please don't shut me out. You have to understand that i'm trying to protect you from Mike! He's one of the rapist and you need to get the hell away from him." Jacob speaks matter-a-factly. 

"How do you even know this Jacob? You wasn't even there when the rape happened. Remember how you were sick the day of the party."

Jacob stays quiet for a second and Elijah's puts it together, why Jacob was so concerned. Why Jacob so badly wants Elijah to stay away from Mike so badly. 

"Jacob are you in love with me?" Elijah blurts out and Jacob bites his lip on the other end. 

"No..." Jacob trails off. "I just care about you."

"Right okay one more question then.." Elijah sits up and he looks to the ground. 

"Yes Elijah?"

"Were you one of the rapist?"
