Mr Barn

Chapter 6

Vik's POV

I think it was safe to say we were all taken aback by his outcry, His screech for help. It hurt me as well, seeing a young man not much younger than myself literally screaming to stop, I remember my sister being pretty... sporadic when she had an episode. But nothing like this.

Vik: "Freya? Who's Callum?"

Freya: "I don't know."

Josh: "You don't know? How can you not know?"

Freya: "I wasn't exactly active in his life for the past couple of years setting everything up for him to come over now did I. I have explained this to you before."

Josh: "Then you should have accepted the help."

Freya: "I refuse to accept help when I know I am more than capable of doing it myself."

Vik: "Guys I think he's asleep."

I looked down at the boy in y arms and noticed his breathing had become softer, he wasn't screaming and the only thrashing he was doing was when he would squirm or throw his feet out sometimes. Yet he looked so peaceful and serene, and that's what it made him so beautiful.

Josh: "Vik he would probably wake up if anyone moves him."

Vik: "Yeah I know, but I'm going to have to put him into bed. I'll be out in a sec."

I slowly moved myself so that I was kneeling while listening to the others leave the room and the general vicinity. I picked him up slowly and with much difficulty, he might me thin but at the same time, he is still heavy seeing as I am as weak as a feather. As I walked over to the bed and put him down gently. Or at least I tried to considering I almost dropped him. I put the pillow under his head and pulled the blanket up to him, I didn't even realize until after I had started to walk away that he had my wrist in his grip. I looked down at the young man and couldn't help but feel something for him. He looked so peaceful and I really didn't want to wake him. I slowly started working his. Fingers so that they were no longer attached to me as I placed his arm down gently beside him. I took one look towards the door and hall and noticed no one around. Allowing me to lean down and kiss the poor boys forehead.

Vik: "You are beautiful Aiden, I don't want you to ever think otherwise, and if I have to. I will always be there to help you, hold you and defend you. I know it's wrong. But these past couple of days. I feel like I need to protect you. Maybe it's just been that you remind me of my sister... I wish she was here to help me."

I felt a tear sting the corner of my eye as I turned away and closed the door. I tried to stop myself from crying but I could barely keep myself composed before I walked into the lounge room, Seeing Josh look furious while Freya stared at him in bewilderment.

Josh: "He better fucking answer the phone."

Ethan: "Relax Josh. Why would you get so worked up about this?"

Simon: "Come on man."

Josh: "Finally. Right you need to answer me right now..."

Josh's POV

Josh: "Callum?"

Cal: "Yeah I'm here Josh drop the attitude, what's up mate? I haven't done anything wrong."

Josh: "Not yet you haven't."

I looked around me and noticed the boys and Freya all looking at me with earnest. They were probably trying to figure out why I was calling Callum but I'll be damned if he thinks he can get away without being suspicious. I know for a fact that he use to work at Aiden's old school. The person who did it to him would have to be physically stronger, can't get much stronger than a teacher.
