Chapter three.

Kale's pov.

When me and Raegan finished putting away the dishes, our arms hurt like hell. Everyone was done eating, so we took all they're plates and put them in the sink. Only then did we even think about eating. We got two more plates and dished out some for ourselves. We sat down and ate, quietly. Until I decided to cut the silence.

"Hey Rae?" I said, grabbing his attention.

"Yeah Kale?" He said back to me.

"Do you even want to escape?" I asked him.

"Not really, they're nice, they accept us, they're not treating us that bad, plus cooking and cleaning isn't that bad, and if makes them want to kill us less, then we're good. Unless we escape and they find us and kill us, I'd rather just stay here and clean and cook for them, don't you think?" Raegan reasoned with me. I wanted to leave. Badly. But I also didn't want to die.

"Yeah, I don't wanna get dead." I smiled at him, started laughing at my vocabulary.

"Kale you don't 'get dead', you die." He said, almost crying from laughing so hard.

"Well not me, I get dead, dying is for the weak, if you're like me, we get dead!" I say laughing with him. He's now clutching his stomach crying, from laughing so much. I'm there with him. That was till someone cleared their throat, and we quickly straighten ourselves out. We turned and saw the one criminal we didn't recognize. We both lowered our heads, looking at our laps. We were scared of what this nameless badass was going to do.

"What were you guys doing?" He asked intimidatingly. Raegan seemed to just get smaller and smaller by the minute. But I would not stand for this.

"We were just laughing our asses off, got a problem?" I said sassingly.

"Yeah I do have a problem." He basically barked, yeah like a dog, bark bark.

"Well what is it? Hmmm?" I teased, winking at him.

"You being so damn hot." He said and looked at me in an effort to be sexy. He failed. I just bursted out laughing. He joined in.

"Was that even any good?" He asked laughing.

"No!!!!!!" I laughed. Raegan utterly confused picked up my plate and his, and took them to the sink to wash. I just chatted with this criminal. I found out his names Jack, he's Gerard's son, which I found funny. He wasn't that bad. I just continued to laugh and talk with him, completely forgetting our surroundings. Including Raegan.

Raegan's pov.

While Kale seemed to be enjoying himself, I was stuck cleaning up. Not that I hated it, gave me a distraction from the itching on my wrist. I could with stand this. It's not all that bad here. It's bad. But we're being respected so I can't complain. No one in Maryland respected us. We were outcasts. Now that Kale finally found someone. I still have no one. I was washing the dishes right now. With angry, sad, and frustrated tears streaming down my face. I hated it here. Not at this house. Just the earth in general. I just couldn't be here anymore. I've never wanted to die so much. I finished washing and putting away the dishes. I swept one last time. Wiped the counters again, and went back to the room I guess we were staying in.

When I was going upstairs to the room. My shoulder collided with someone else's. I looked up and saw blue hair. It's Michael... I'm dead...

"I'm so sorry, I didn't see you, I'm sorry, please don't hurt me." I flinched away from him. There wasn't any movement before I felt arms going around me. I looked up and Michael was hugging me. I didn't do anything but melt into his touched. I don't know what happened, but along the way he picked me up and brought me to what looked like his room. He set me on his bed and just held me. I folded my arms around him. I cried. I cried, and cried, and cried until I couldn't cry anymore. Michael just held me through it all. Eventually I started getting tired. So I laid my head on his shoulder and drifted to sleep.

Michael's pov.

I was walking down stairs to get something to drink. When my shoulder hit someone else's. I looked up and saw Raegan, he was looking at the ground, but he looked up for a split second and I saw the tears. I hugged him, he budded back of course. I picked him up and he was surprisingly light, I brought him to my room. I comforted him, he stopped crying and now his head just rested on my shoulder. He fell asleep like that.

I felt bad for this kid, I mean despite him being 17, he was still a kid to me. I mean I'm 22, that's a 5 year difference. I didn't know what caused him to cry, but I'll ask him later. He looks like he hasn't gotten a good night sleep in a while. I may be a bad guy, but it doesn't mean I'm an actually bad guy, I mean I know how this kid feels. Probably alone, broken, hurt, beaten down by he world. Trust me, I was in his shoes once. As for his friend there, Kale he's an alright kid, I only brought him along so Raegan wouldn't be lonely, that and Jack wanted him.

I mean I was the one who wanted Raegan. For four reasons. Reason number one, I was kinda stalking Raegan before so I know what he went through, he doesn't deserve that. Reason number two, We really needed a maid and chef, because I ended up killing the last ones, and Raegan's clean, and a decent cook. Reason number three, I wanted a brother, surprisingly I wanted one, I mean I got the guys, but I want someone I can look after. Ashton's got Justin and Danny. Luke's got his brothers. Calum's got his sister. Gerard has Jack and Jack has Gerard. I have no one. Sure Justin and Danny are like brothers to me, but I want my own. I choose Raegan, so I could at least make him happy, and if he's not then I'll let him go back. Reason number four, I don't know we needed to seem bad ass? I don't know. I figured kidnapping people, would people fear us more?

Bad people aren't really bad people, some times scaring people into leaving you alone, is hard because then you have no one at all. I just wanted to have a family like the rest of the guys. Raegan's my only shot, I got at this. I decided to go to sleep. I hugged Raegan and kissed his head, and drifted to sleep.
