Part 21

Jorel p.o.v

I can hear crying; my boyfriend Danny is just sitting in the corner of the room crying softly to himself. I think he is doing it, so I can't hear him and be disturbed by it, but I can feel the emotional pain he is going through. I think it was that which woke me up for the third night in a row. Danny is going through something and he is shutting himself away from everyone and pushing us away. He always dashes upstairs as soon as the mail is handed to him and then no one sees him for a few hours before he comes back downstairs wearing one of my hoodies and wants nothing, but hugs off me. I don't mind him borrowing my hoodies, I love it when he does that, but I don't want him to be hurting himself and using them as a reason to cover it.

"Danny, come here baby," I tell him, and I see him jump at the sudden noise. I get up off the bed and walk over to him before putting my arms on his shoulders and giving them a little rub. He must have been crying for over an hour now. I checked my phone when I first woke up and it was 2 am now the clock on the bed is telling me its 3 am. "Come on Danny, just tell me what's wrong," I tell him, but he is still crying, and he refused to even look at me. Maybe I should drop the subject for now and let him rest and see if he feels up to talking to me in the morning. I rub his back and then he hugs me tightly as he starts sobbing now. I manage to calm him down after about ten minutes.

"Never mind what I said before, you can tell me later baby. For now, let's just go to bed and sleep," I tell him, and he lets me take him to the bed and he snuggles up to me and has his arms around my waist. I wrap my arms around him and let our legs get tangled together as Danny manages to doze off into a restless sleep. I can't bring myself to fall asleep just yet to I am just going to keep an eye on Danny and I can be prepared to ask either George or Airia to come in and stop any nightmares Danny might have. I'm sure something is going on in that little blonde head of his, but he doesn't want to tell anyone about it. He dyed his hair blonde a couple of weeks ago and I love the colouring.

I like watching the sun rise in the morning, often if I have a lot to think about and Danny is fast asleep in bed I'll get dressed and go and watch the sun rise from the roof. Since I am trying to wrap my head around what's going on in Danny's little head I think I should go up and watch the sun this morning. I kiss Danny's forehead and he doesn't stir, that made me feel comfortable with leaving him for the moment, so I could try and gather my thoughts, so I can be supportive when Danny does decide to tell me what's wrong and I can fix it. I don't want to keep waking up to him crying his heart out and spending the day knowing he locks himself for hours at a time in his room.

I get changed as quietly as possible and leave the room without making a sound. I didn't feel like using my powers to hide myself in the shadows. I just shadow travelled to the roof and I was surprised to see Jordon sitting up there gazing out to the night sky. "Jordon, what are you doing here?" I ask him, and he looks to me. "I could ask you the same question," he says, and I sit next to him on the roof. "What's bothering you Jordon?" I ask him, I want to help all of my coven members through any of their problems. "Danny, it's not like him to be hiding away like he does and for him to be pushing himself away from us. Since the day you rescued him like nearly four years ago he's been open with us and now he isn't," Jordon says.

"Yeah, that's kinda why I am here too, I like to look at the sun rise while I am trying to gather my thoughts. Danny also seems to be spending most of the night crying either in the corner of the room or on the bed," I tell him, I don't think he knows how bad Danny has been feeling recently, but it will make us more motivated to help Danny. "I didn't know that, poor Danny. Something must be bothering him a lot then," he says, and I have a think on what we could do in the meantime. "Yeah, I think that he might be getting some nasty mail, but I don't want to be stealing his mail just to find out," I tell Jordon.
