Tilo's Pov.

I show him his room and tell him that mine is next to his, so if he needs anything he knows where to find me. I'm the only one near his new room.

In the middle of the night. I wake up from my sleep. What waked me? I hear it again. Muffled, but pained scream. Only one I can hear so clear can only be Achim. I get up and h run to his room. He is curled up, his mouth hidden into his pillow, he is crying and screaming. "Please don't, it hurts." He jumps when my hand touches his shoulder. First he crawls away from me, then he wants me to stay with him. I wrap my arms around him, holding him close to me. He is crying, his tears wetting my shirt. I run my hand through his long dark hair, trying to calm him down.

"He didn't love me. Tichalt, my father didn't love me."

That's what he meant earlier. He probably visited his father, found out that he didn't love him and tried to end his life. I hug him closer to me, he is halfway on top of me. His crying gets lighter and lighter. When it stops altogether, I realize that I have to stay here for the rest of the night. He fell asleep against my shoulder. I understand why he did what he did, I didn't like it, but I know that he actually cared. Life hasn't treat him well. I just fall asleep next to him, holding him close to me.

Morning comes quickly.

Meinhard's Pov.

I wanted to talk to Tilo, but he wasn't in his room, or anywhere at the house. I only haven't checked Achim's room. And that is where I find him. Cuddling. I have no idea what happened to make Tilo come here and cuddle him, but something happened for sure. I let them be. Cause even if I wake Tilo, he can't get out without waking Achim. And I need to talk to him alone. Under four eyes.
