They Found Out | C.F. & O2L

Chapter 20

Connor's P.O.V.
Hayes barged out of the room. I wanted to follow him, but Kian kept me from going. He warned me with a look. 'Don't go after him. I'll kill you if you two are going off again.' Just the basic stuff from nowadays. "Someone going to go after him?" Shawn asks a bit surprised. No one moved a muscle. No one really knows where to place themselves. "Fine. I'll do it." He gets up out of bed, something he isn't really allowed to do. No one stopped him as he walked out of the room. All the boys turned to me. "Why did you run off with him?" Nash asks me. "He wanted to get out of the hospital. Wasn't really fond of being here." I explain.

Nash rolls his eyes. "Figured." He mutters. "Don't do this to him! You have no reason to behave towards him like this. He needs you, he wants you, but all you seem to care about is making sure he's okay, when in reality, you are only making things worse for him. He wants to talk to you, he wants your help and love, but you only use everything he tells you against him. He's scared for you. So don't pull that attitude please." I tell him. He looks shocked.

"I uh... I had no idea." He tells me honest. "Maybe you should have paid better attention towards what he needs, instead of what you think he needs." I tell him. Kian pushes me back a bit. "You're going to far." Nash threatens. "It's only what I think." I tell him while putting my hands up in the air. "But surely you knew this already." I add under my breath. He heard me, that much was obvious. Next thing I know I'm backed up against the wall with Nash keeping my hands against the wall to keep me from trying to break free. It's weird, he's littler than I am, but much stronger, or I'm just really weak. I think it's a combination.

I just want to go and see if Hayes is okay. I guess I can't. I do understand Kian though. He was afraid. I can tell. They all were. A doctor walks in and asks us where Shawn is. We all stay quiet. No one wants to tell him he walked out on his own. We don't have to answer though, Hayes and Shawn return, their smiles fading when they see the doctor in the room. "I see you're up and running again." The doctor states. "Yeah." But Shawn doesn't seem very convinced by his own answer.

He could leave. Shawn was released after Bart had signed some papers for him. We went back to the hotel and we had Bart away from the magcon guys. We suggested to take all the boys to our home and have a night off. Really off. To order in, watch a few movies and for a night not to sleep in a hospital or hotel. To be in a house where they can raid the kitchen cupboards and fridge for normal food. Bart agreed immediately.

Ricky took the honor to run through the hallway and to knock on all the doors. We had no idea where they were and if they were even still together as a group. They weren't. Multiple doors opened. Some did gather in a room, but there were boys that went to their own rooms. We told them our plans and send them off to pack their stuff. Just some clothes and necessities for staying over with us. We had some prescribed medication for Shawn. Cameron kept those kept away securely of course. Both Hayes and Shawn are after them. And if they don't be careful, I will get them.

The evening progressed really well. No one had  fought, no one had broken down. It really felt great doing this with all the guys. We had ordered multiple things. Some Chinese, of course pizza and even some Indian on request. We had gathered all the pillows and blankets in the house. We had thrown them on the couch and went for snacks and drinks. No alcohol, to keep the bottled thoughts away. No one was in for a fight. Even if they wanted a drink, they will get wasted and no one wants to handle their sorry asses.

We have watched Horrible Bosses, Now You See Me and The Proposal so far. The last one was hilarious. I'm glad Tyler suggested that one. No one was in for a romance, but after he kept bugging us, we gave in. We're going to watch one last movie, as we did have to promise Bart not to keep them up for so long. They have another event coming up soon and they need to be fit enough for it. The last one is called Crazy, Stupid, Love with Ryan Gosling. He's funny. He has a dry sense of humor.
