Temptations (boyxboy) (BOOK 1)

Chapter 6

Julian's POV

I got home from the best night of my life and collapsed onto the couch. Lucian was my boyfriend! I couldn't believe it was real!

But I also couldn't believe how horrible my so called 'friends' were. They tried to drug him! The boy of my dreams was almost drugged!
Anyway... I switched on the TV and relaxed for a while. Suddenly my phone burst alive and I saw Lucy was calling me. Concerned as to why he was calling, I picked up the phone and answered, "Hello?"

"Julian.... I need you...." was all I heard before there was a loud thud and someone else picked up the phone.

The voice of a woman cackled on the other end. "Do not even try to come after him! This little faggot deserves what's coming for him," the voice barked and then the call ended.

Fear took control of my body as I phoned the police. I gave them the address which I remembered when I had followed him home one day.
I know, stalker vibes, but I just wanted to know where he stayed in case I couldn't face him at school to ask him to the party, then I would just deliver an invite.

When they said they were sending squad cars there I hung up and ran for my car. I rushed down the street and probably broke four different road rules getting there before the cops.

I ran to the front door and when I saw it was locked, I bashed the window and reached in to unlock it. My hand began to sting, but the only thing on my mind was Lucian. Inside it smelt heavily of blood and I gagged.

"NO! DON'T HURT MARNEL!" I heard Lucian yell from upstairs. I ran upstairs and when I opened the door I heard the scream come from, I saw a whip being raised and ready to come down on a young blond boy who I assumed was Marnel.

On instinct I jumped in front of the boy and the whip struck me across my arm which I held up in defence. The pain hurt badly and I whimpered slightly, but focus on the task at hand.

A middle aged woman stood there looking shocked and I took that moment to smack the whip out her hand. She gasped as I tackled her to the floor. The police came in and pulled me off her.

"SHE WAS ABUSING THEM! TAKE HER AWAY," I yelled in pure rage. They cuffed her and only then did I realise a large burly man lying dead on the floor with a knife in his throat, and I shivered at the sight.

The ambulance came in and put the little boy on a gurney. I went to Lucy's side and pulled him to me. "What happened Lucy?" I asked him after a few silent minutes, concern dripping from my voice, but he was asleep.
I chuckled at how adorable he looked and then carried him to the ambulance. We got in and the van left for the hospital so we could check how the two boys are doing, as well as check on my arm and hand. Luckily my mother was on duty tonight, so they won't charge anything.

Lucians POV

When my eyes opened, I was blinded by a bright light. Is this what heaven looks like? Just a big bright light?
When my eyes adjusted, I saw I was in a hospital room. I relaxed a little until I remembered that hospitals cost money. And I didn't have any..

I looked around frantically as the heart monitor began beeping faster. The door burst open and I saw him. The memories rushed back. Julian had saved me and Marnel. I remember falling asleep in his arms..
"Jules... I don't have money for this..." I said in a whisper, my voice was all hoarse and scratchy.

"Don't worry Lucy, my mom is one of the top doctors here. She fixed us up and put it on her 'Family and Friends' emergency operation list, so it's free of charge." He replied, smiling like a doofus.

"I can't expect that Jules! Please can I speak to her and we can arrange a payment method," I frantically begged. I cannot expect it from her, she doesn't even know me!
"Fine, but you won't win Luce," he said smiling and walked out. A young looking lady with long brown hair that fell past her shoulders entered, smiling at me. This must be Julian's mom.. She is stunning.....

"Hello Lucian. Please do not expect me to charge my sons boyfriend for fixing him and his brother up. It wasn't your fault you were hurt in the first place, and what future mother in-law would I be if I do?" she said, smiling brightly.

I looked at her with my mouth agape. She chuckled and came to sit on my bed next to me. "Lucian. I am not homophobic, but my husband is. And before you ask, no, Julian did not tell me. I could see it in his eyes last night when he brought you in. he looked as if he felt all your pain. He was frantic and begged me to please help. I saw the love he has for you, and I was just guessing that you two are dating. And if you weren't, I was going to tell you to your face that he likes you and you should either accept or reject him," she explains and my mouth drops even more to the ground
.
"I haven't seen Julian love like that in a very long time. He refuses to open up to me and his father ever since his father disowned his sister for being Lez. I tried to help, and all I could do was get her to stay with us, on the condition that I be cold towards her too. And I guess it scared him. But the way he looks at you is the same way I looked at the person I fell in love with. Unfortunately, they rejected me. Lucian please don't hurt Julian.." she sobs as tears roll down her face.

I pull her into a hug and we sit there for a few minutes. When she wipes her face, she kisses my cheek and walks out. I then get out of the bed and go try find Marnel. As I exited the door, I bumped into Julian who caught me before I could fall.

"Lucy! I brought you food! I thought we could go eat in your brother's room. He is awake now and has asked to see you!" he said after giving me a small peck. I smile and nod as we walk off to my brother's hospital room.

When we entered, a pair of blue eyes looked at me and lit up. His light blond hair was messed up, similar to how my dirty blond hair was messed up. I ran to him and engulfed him in a hug.

"Lucy! I missed you!" Marnel said full of joy. I smiled at him and kissed his head. I got in the bed next to him and he laid his head on my chest. Julian took a seat next to the bed and handed me a sandwich. I was going to ask Marnel if he wanted to share but then I saw a sandwich box next to his bed and figured he ate already.

With much difficulty I managed to eat my sandwich with one hand because Marnel was too stubborn to move off my chest so I could use my other hand. When I was done eating I noticed Marnel was asleep, so I gently got out the bed so I wouldn't wake him and gestured for Jules to follow me back to my room.
