They Found Out | C.F. & O2L

Chapter 14

Kian's P.O.V.
Leaving Connor alone at the hospital was horrible. The nurses made us leave and threatened to call the police if we didn't leave. I don't think they can tell that for us. Connor is our family. Don't they have a heart or something? When we got home, I laid down on the couch and tried to fall asleep, trying to forget the face that I'm at home when I need to be with Connor. I don't even know what the other boys are doing.

A knock on the door woke me up. Apparently, I was the only one who had found some much needed sleep. I get it that the others couldn't. I was just too exhausted to keep myself awake anymore. Kian and Ricky followed me toward the door. It opened up to reveal Hayes. I was completely oblivious as to why he had showed up, but the others weren't. "Nash told us that you were missing." Jc spoke up when we thought he wasn't going to talk. I turn to Jc questioningly, but figured out he had ran away, hence why he turned up on our doorstep by himself. I looked back at Hayes. He turned around to try and run, but Jc was faster and got a hold of him before he had the chance. Hayes fought against him, but Jc held tight. He got his strength out of Hayes' struggling. It was like he was reliving everything with Connor. That's also why I couldn't do anything. I don't think I could watch the Magcon boys go through what we had been through.

I made a move though. I walked over and wanted to calm the poor boy down. "Hayes, calm down." Hayes just screamed and we went inside, Hayes being pulled in by Jc. He sat him down on the couch between Troye and Tyler who took both his arms to keep him from getting up. "Hayes, what happened?" Ricky started and only got an eye roll in response. "What did you do to your arms?" I jumped from Tyler's burst out, but brought back to reality when I looked at his arms. I went over and was able to pull his sleeves up through his struggling. "Oh my god, Hayes are you feeling okay? You're not going to pass out?" Jc asked. Looking over at Jc, he seemed shaky. I think he doesn't really know what to do at this point anymore.

Hayes tried to escape once again, but Troye and Tylers grip only tightened. Ricky finally emerged back from the kitchen and cleaned up his cuts, finally wrapping bandages over them.  You could Hayes whimper in pain, and it didn't really help to keep your head up throughout this. "Come on Hayes, you can rest now." Jc told him. He is right. Hayes looks like he is about to fall asleep any minute, but he is trying to hold it off. He rolled his eyes once again, and Tyler didn't really appreciate it, but he kept his calm fairly well. "Hayes, your friends might not mind when you are rude to them, but we do. Please stop." He responded. Hayes rolled his eyes once more and I took it up on me to take him upstairs. Jc helped me. By the way he walked up the stairs, you could see how much he regretted for even showing up on our doorstep.

When Jc and I returned in the living room, Hayes had been sound asleep. We stayed with him to show him that we were there for him if he needed us, plus, he asked us to stay with him. We kept our promise. Once I sat down on the couch it really dawned on me how broken these boys were. We have four broken boys, some are about to reach their breaking point, and we have to get them back, before something happens that will change our lives forever. I knew I shouldn't have left Connor. Maybe I should go back to visit Shawn, as we know he is in the hospital, but we hadn't come to see him when he did visit Connor. That way I'll still be close to Connor in case something happens and he would need me.

I explained my plans to the boys for the rest of the day and asked them to look after Hayes. I told them I would tell Nash that he is at our place and that we will take care of him like our own. That it is better for them to be apart. I'm sure he will understand , right? I think he does need to go home though. Running away is not solving anything. We know, we've been there.

I go upstairs to take one last look at Hayes before I was going to make my way back to the hospital. He looked so peaceful in his sleep, but you could see the frown set on his face. He is  not happy and everyone knows it. He is stubborn, just like Connor. It's the stubbornness you have to break, but it's not that easy. I would say impossible, but it's not impossible to fix  him. It's going to take time, and loads of patience. Something Nash won't be able to deal with. The patience. He wants his brother back, and I don't blame him. He'd been on the verge of losing his brother way too often, and stuff like that just takes a toll on people. He has to keep it together for his brothers sake.
