It took the boys an hour but finally opens James the door and takes Steve inside. Steve slowly lays down on the sofa, closes his eyes.
James closes the door and walks over to him. He sits in the chair and watches Steve worriedly. "Should I call a doctor?" Steve asks.
"You can't." Steve responds. "They'll see I made those stitches on you and I'll be arrested." Steve sighs.
"What about your health?" James asks worried.
"You shouldn't worry too much about it." Steve sighs as he slowly falls asleep.
"I'll call someone." James sighs.
"Nope." Steve responds tiredly. "If you want to call someone, call Sebastian. Seb and I studied together, he's horrible but he wouldn't deliver me to the police." Steve explains tiredly.
"Number?" James asks.
Steve mumbles a number before falling completely asleep.
James notes it down and walks to the hallway and calling the number.
"Hello?" A voice from another line says.
"Is this Sebastian?" James asks.
"Yeah, who are you?" the voice asks back.
"I'm James, I call because a friend of mine needs some help, he-" James gets cut off.
"If you need a doctor don't call me on a personal number. I'm gonna hang up." Sebastian says.
"Wait! It's about Steve." James' voice raises.
the other ebd of the line is silent. Till a lower voice says something. "What happened?" Sebastian asks stern.
"He got beaten up, pretty bad. I wanted to call a doctor but he said I couldn't do that, but he accepted me to call you cause he said you guys studied together(?)" James explains quickly.
"He knows I'm a horrible doctor... Why would he ask me?" Sebastian asks.
"Because he trusts you." James responds.
"Where is he?" Sebastian asks.
"In my house, Ranson Road 16." James says.
"Place?" Sebastian asks.
"Jellenstin." James says the place of his town.
"Good, I'll be there in a min. Make sure he keeps awake." Sebastian says.
"But... he fell asleep." James says.
"Wake him." Sebastian says. "See you soon." He hangs up.
James walks back in the room, he goes over to the sofa and starts to stroke Steve's hair. "Steve. Time to wake up." He says gently.
Steve opens his eyes, looking terrified and silent.
"Sebastian is coming." James says.
