Mr Barn

Chapter 26

Preston's POV

Landon: "Oh and then fucking Jason thought it would be a great idea to throw something at me, I didn't even see what it was but it hurt."

Preston: "Are you ok?"

Landon: "Yeah I'm fine. I promise."

Preston: "Then to me that's all that matters."

We were finally on our way home, Lachlan saying he would catch up with us later after making sure Cal was going to get home ok, I feel like he's such an idiot. Landon is amazing, yeah he pisses me off, yeah he has annoyed me for years since he moved in with me but... I mean look at him, he's adorable right? As we walked home, I started feeling wrong, Checking around me whenever I could, no matter how paranoid I looked while doing it, I was scared, I was shitting myself and I knew something was off.

Landon: "Preston?"

Preston: "What's up?"

Landon: "Why do you keep looking around as if someone was following us? Is there someone around?"

Preston: "No, No... I don't know Landon, Let's just get home ok? I feel wrong, and on edge."

I picked up my pace, holding Landon close to me, I could feel him starting to look around and catch the eye of someone before flinching away and keeping close to me, my hand in his but his body close to mine. As we started to get closer to home, I felt him starting to pick up the pace before we burst through the front doors.

Preston: "Is Mom here?"

Landon: "I didn't see her car, where do you think they are?"

Preston: "I don't know but something doesn't feel right, something feels wrong, off, disgusting. Landon?"

Landon: "Preston you're scaring me."

Preston: "I'm sorry but I want you to go up stairs, get changed have a shower or something and just wait for me in my room ok? We can watch a movie or something but I'm going to call mom and find out where she is."

Landon: "O-Okay."

I watched him back away before I started locking windows and doors, running laps around the house, making sure the windows were locked and no one could crawl in or fall out... (Kaila). And then lock-in the front door. Something was going on and I was fucking terrified, I felt like I wasn't about to be very happy. I stopped for a moment to still my beating heart, to stop the nerves and help slow down my breathing. Upon hearing someone turning the handle at the front door, I ran to the kitchen and grabbed a knife, Trying to protect myself somewhere.

Lachlan: "Why the fuck is the door locked?"

Cal: "Do you have a key?"

I quickly ran and out the knife away before sprinting up the stairs, running into a half naked Landon with a towel around him.

Landon: "Hey you ok?"

Preston: "Landon I am freaking out right now, I don't know why but something just feels off, this is hard ok and I can't tell you what's going on but something just seems off."

Landon: "Preston, I need you to relax ok? Breathe, everything is fine, I'm going to get changed and then go and talk to Cal and Lachlan ok? Go have a shower and calm down. Maybe you are just freaking out after what happened today at school. Paranoia is a horrible thing."

Preston: "Paranoid? Yeah ok that makes sense, I'm going to go and do that. I'll see you later ok?"

Landon: "I'll be right downstairs with the boys."

I watched as he stepped closer to me, his hands falling to my cheeks as he held me close and kissed me, my hands defaulting to rest on his hips. He's so beautiful, and annoying as fuck but he's just... ugh I can't stop thinking about this fucking.

Landon: "Preston stop thinking about shit going down and go and have a shower."

Preston: "Yes sir."

I watched him smile as he giggled lightly before I stepped away and walked into my room, grabbing a change of clothes and my towel, walking into the still steamy bathroom from when Landon was in here. I have no idea how he managed to have such hot showers but it was a thing I guess. I stripped my shirt before leaning into the shower and turning it on, adjusting the temperature before taking off the rest of my clothes and getting in.

Preston: "Maybe this should be a cold one."

Damn you Landon getting me hard, I just left it for now, I'll get another chance later as I washed my body, brushed my teeth and washed my hair. After a few more minutes just letting the horrible thoughts of the inevitable end to the universe come into my mind and scare me while I stood under the heavy stream of hot water, I turned it all off and hopped out. Drying my body before checking myself out in the mirror for a few moments, genuinely feeling proud of myself for how I look, because I look sexy.

Landon: "PRESTON, MOMS HERE!"

I piped my head up before putting on my change of clothes before stepping out of the room and heading down to the lounge room. Finding Lachlan cuddling Cal as the shorter of the two lay on his chest almost asleep, I thought Lachlan was going to take him home.

Preston: "I thought you were going to take him back home Lachlan?"

Lachlan: "He doesn't have one at the moment, he got kicked out by his room mate because he chose to go to school again instead of work like someone normally would his age. At least in Australia we would have already been working since 15. And look at him, he's almost asleep and he looks so peaceful."

Preston: "You should have taken him home."

Mom: "Preston can you and the boys come in here please?"

I looked at Lachlan who lifted cal's head and kissed his forehead before letting him gently rest on a pillow. Following Landon, Lachlan and I walked into the kitchen to see my Mom and her partner leaning on the bench.

Mom: "Ok, So you know we have been trying feverishly to adopt Lachlan?"

Lachlan: "Oh any word on that?"

Mom: "Yeah actually, we got our acceptance today, that's why we weren't home, you are now officially Lachlan Arsement."

I couldn't help but smile, this was awesome, I had always wanted to have Lachlan as my brother since he moved with us after his family abandoned him, I am so happy Landon fought for him.

Mom: "We know about you and Landon so even this we wanted to adopt you, we knew you fell in love first, and the piece of paper would simply make it easier for us if anything happened to you or if we needed to sign anything for school. So you and Landon are still able to be together."

Preston: "Mom?"

Landon: "I'm not with Lachlan anymore?"

Lachlan: "Yeah we broke up, Landon has been seeing someone else I guess."

Mom: "Oh well I'm so proud of you both for being so easy with this, because we have another surprise and I'm sad we never did this before."

I watched Mom give me a small scroll of parchment, letting me take off the ribbon before unfurling it in front of me, Reading it carefully before my heart burst, I was frozen in shock, in fear, like I wasn't able to speak or act.

Mom: "Aren't you excited? We are?"

I looked up at then before looking at Lachlan and Landon, Crying to myself as I dropped the scroll and ran to my room, slamming the door and locking it shut. So many years yeah I get that, but no, he can't be, they fucking adopted Landon as well, behind our backs. They adopted him without even talking to us first... what the fuck was I going to do? I can't be with my brother? It's not right, even if we aren't blood related, we are now by law. What the fuck?
