They Found Out | C.F. & O2L

Chapter 16

Kian's P.O.V.
Jc entered Sweets his office by himself. I trust him and I know Sweets will help him to his best ability. Jc told me he was going to take a while and instructed me to go home. I got back home and entered the living room where the guys were watching TV. "What were you doing?" Tyler asks me. "I was taking Jc over to Sweets' office. He wanted to go." I told them. "Why did he want to go?" Troye asks me, though I'm sure Tyler was about to ask that. Guess Troye thought he wasn't fast enough. "He uh.. he was acting weird and he wanted to talk to me after I put Connor to bed. He was shaking and stuff. He wanted to go to Sweets and I brought him there." "You're a good friend." Tyler told me.

I thanked him before going into the kitchen to prepare myself some food. I look around the kitchen and open up cupboards to see someone has to do a food run again. I'm not going to do it, though. Someone else can do it. I refuse too. I've got enough to do as it is with Connor and I will have to pick up Jc anyways and I am sure he won't be up for it after his session with Sweets.

After I ate my lunch, I took a notepad and a pen. I went through all the cupboards and fridge once again, but this time making sure to check everything to see what we need. I made the list and held it up for everyone to see in the living room. Connor had finally emerged from his room and had joined the guys on the couch. "Good morning Connor." I speak up. "Morning." He responds. "Okay, so I'm not going to do the groceries. Who will?" I ask them. Connor sticks his hand up. "I will. Someone want to come?" He asks no one particular, but I know he's silently praying for me to volunteer. I can't though. I can't just leave Jc hanging there. "I'll go with him." Tyler volunteered. I silently thank Tyler. They get up and get grocery bags and leave the house.

"The laundry hasn't been done in a while either." I tell the guys. They all look at me. "I know no one likes to do it, but I really can't right now. I can't do this alone. I told you guys I can't." Ricky gets up. "And you don't have to do it alone, okay? We're all here for you. And even if you wanted it, you won't get rid of us so easily."

He walks out of the living room to do the laundry, most likely. I do more house tasks and when Connor and Tyler get back from grocery shopping, I put the groceries away. Ricky has put the laundry in the washing machine and emptied out the clean dishes from the dishwasher. When Jc calls me, I answer him. It's not him that answers though. Sweets does. "Hi. What's going on? Why are you calling with Jc's phone?" I ask him. How does that guy know Jc's password? Did Jc hand him his phone to make the call?

"I talked to Jc." Not something I wasn't aware of as I practically dropped him off at the front door about three hours ago. Sweets continued "He wasn't in a very good spot as you might have known." Also not something I wasn't aware off. "He walked in and was quite upset. I talked to him and found out some interesting things. Nothing I can talk about with you, but I'd like to see him more often if that's okay with you. All without charge. To help you guys." Sweets tells me. "So he's really not okay then?" I ask him. I can't do this. Not now. If you include Tyler and Troye with the boys, there are three down, five to go. And I can tell Ricky is getting weird as well. He's acting strange, but I know he'll keep himself together. It's Ricky we're talking about. I'm going to keep Trevor out from now on. He needs to live his life and not be dragged down by the drama playing in our house right now.

"Can I come pick him up? Or are you still talking?" I ask Sweets. I have to start preparing dinner soon, and I want to pick him up myself. Just to see how he's doing before getting into the house to be attacked by the other boys asking him where he was and if he's okay. "At the moment he's fast asleep on the couch and that's fine. I'll look after him and have someone deliver some dinner for him if it's getting too late. I'll even drop him off for you if you prefer that." Sweets says. "Yeah, that's fine with me. He needs all the sleep he can get, and within these walls, it's kind of hard to get some. So let him have it." I explain. "And why is that?" His shrink side kicking in. "Jc and Connor both suffer from multiple nightmares at night. It's keeping all the guys awake." I tell him. "And no one knows how to deal with them?" I tell him that he's right. "Want me to come and talk to you all again? I know the pressure on you right now is massive and I want to give the others some responsibility too." Sweets tells me.
