Chapter 7

Anthony's pov
I was running my hands through Jays hair when suddenly Cynthia barges in yelling "JADEN YOU FAGGOT WHERE IS ANTHO" She pauses when she sees me. "What the fuck did you just say!?" "i- " NO WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST SAY!" i yell getting up from the bed and moving closer to Cynthia. "Anthony i-i didn't mean it i" "Well it sure fucking sounded like you did!" "Anthony i'm sorry i jus wanted to know where you were." "That is NOT THE POINT! You have been i don't know basically bullying Jaden for no fucking reason and i'm getting pretty fucking sick of it. Jay can hide his emotions well sometimes but you really affected him. So can you please STOP BEING A FUCKING BITCH!?" Just then all the boys run into the room. "Why the hell are you yelling anthony?" Payton asked. "Well you see- "CYNTHIA SHUT THE FUCK UP!" "Woah Anthony you need to chill" Chaser says. "THIS FUCKING BITCH HAS BEEN BASICALLY BULLYING JADEN AFTER SHE PUSHED HIM INTO THE POOL!" Everyone stops and looks at Cynthia. She is full on raging. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN I HAVE BEEN BULLYING JADEN? IT'S NOT MY FAULT HE IS A SENSITIVE LITTLE FAG WHO CAN'T DEFEND HIMSELF." Okay that's when i fucking lost it. I lunged toward her but Griffin and Chaser held me back. "Cynthia what is wrong with you?" Noen said.

At this point everyone was too busy arguing to notice Jaden had woken up crying. They heard his whimpering and everyone paused. They all looked at him. They all had sympathetic faces on. Jaden was embarrassed from crying in front of everyone and just wanted to hide away forever at that moment. Jaden just curled up into a ball wishing that he was invisible.

Anthony was still glaring at Cynthia with steam coming out of his ears. I touched his arm and gave him a look. He nodded his head and i went towards Jaden. "Ok everyone get out" i said. "Anthony and Cynthia go outside. Chaser, Chase, Payton, and Noen go make sure he doesn't kill her please. "Okay" they all replied. I went to comfort the fragile boy since Anthony is not really in a great state right now. I might not know a lot about Jaden but what i do known is that he's been through a lot, you can tell just by his eyes. He's never really happy, It's sad honestly. I sat on the bed and he instantly latched onto me. "What's wrong Jay" i asked softly. "Hmph" I chuckled slightly. "Jay i cannot hear you" He just whines into my neck. "I had another nightmare" he said. "Another?" I asked confused. "Yeah i have them often. B-but this one was the worst out of all of them." Jay started to tremble, he was breathing rapidly. "Jay i need you to calm down" But he couldn't stop crying. He was hyperventilating. I got up as quickly as i could and ran out the door to go find Anthony. I saw him talking to chaser while Chase and Noen try to console a crying Cynthia. I interrupted him "Anthony, Jaden needs you now!" I said with a worried look. He ran the fastest he could.

"It's your fault!" My father screamed throwing a beer bottle at me. Luckily i dodged it. "What is my fault!?" I yelled. "YOU KILLED YOUR MOTHER!" I froze, we haven't talked about my moms death in years. "w-what do you mean" "YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN, IF YOU DIDN'T MAKE YOUR MOTHER GO AND PICK YOU UP FROM SOCCER PRACTICE SHE WOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN INTO THE FUCKING CAR CRASH. LISTEN TO ME YOU FAGGOT. IT IS ALL. YOUR. FAULT." As soon as he was finished yelling at me he unbuckled his belt and beat me with it. "DAD STOP" "IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN YOU!" He said sobbing still beating me. "IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN YOU!"

"JADEN" I hear. I look up from my hands and see Anthony in his knees looking at me worriedly. I realized i was scratching my arm to the point where it was bleeding. I just full on sobbed at that point. I didn't care if anyone saw me this vulnerable. All i wanted to do was wash away, Be non existent. "Oh baby" Anthony whispered gently placing me on his lap.

Jaden immediately snuggled into my neck still crying. He was still scratching his arm. "Jaden stop" i said pulling his hand away from his arm. I just hugged him as tightly as possible. He was still sobbing and i continued to hold him. "I don't want to be here anymore" He said in between sobs. "You mean tour?" "No i mean here, i just want to disappear" He said sobbing. My heart broke. I shed a few tears of my own. "No Jaden, you are not going to disappear, i won't let you" I said holding him even tighter. "I love you jay" "I love you too." He eventually calmed down. "Did you have another nightmare?" I felt him nod his head. "What was this one about?" I felt him tense under me. "I-it was about my dad again." I immediately felt angry all over again. I fell like it's my job to protect Jaden no matter what, even if it means protecting him from his dreams which might sound crazy but i don't really care. "What happened in the dream Jaden?" I felt his tears hit my neck. "He- He said that it was my fault" i was beyond confused. "What was your fault Jay?" "He said that it was my fault that m-my mom died" he whimpered. I never knew his mom died but yet again, i didn't really know anything about him till now. I remember coming across one of his tik toks. I instantly thought he was one of the most attractive guys i've seen. "Jaden look at me" i said but he didn't budge from under my neck. "Jaden" i gently grabbed his face and made him face me. Jay tried looking away. "Why won't you look at me?" i asked with desperation in my voice. "He said it should have been me" Jay broke down. "Relax babe it was just a dream, just a dream. It wasn't your fault." I played with his hair and he instantly relaxed. He started to sleep but i woke him up "You need to take a shower" "No" he said shoving his head even deeper in my neck. "Cmon Jay" i said un latching him from me. I drag him to the bathroom "Take a shower you smell" i said messing up his hair. He sighed and went into the bathroom. I might as well rest my eyes until Jaden comes back, yeah i'll do that.

I come out the shower to reveal a sleeping Anthony, he is so cute. I decided he would be more comfortable in a sweatshirt and his sweatpants than jeans. "Yo Anthony" i whispered. "Afonyyyyyyyy" i poked his cheek several times. He just groaned in response. "Cute" i thought. "Get up you need to get changed, you are not going to bed in jeans." "No" I rolled my eyes. "Fine i guess i'll change you myself" I went and got his gray nike sweatpants and another sweatshirt from his suitcase. I rolled him over into his back and started slid down his pants. I got the sweatpants on him and just left the sweater he already had on. I tucked Ant into his bed and went over to mine. I grabbed my phone from the nightstand sat down. I turned off the light. Shit i don't want to go to sleep, these nightmares are fucking terrifying and i don't really feel like waking up and having a panic attack. I won't go to bed, it's not that hard, it's 10 pm.

7 hours later

It's 5 am, i had made a full course meal about 2 hours ago from the food we had left over from downstairs. I made millions of tik toks but of course i only posted about three. I binged watch this indian guy build a pool. And here i sit, thinking about Anthony. I- I really do like Anthony but i know he doesn't feel the same way. I feel bad because i feel as if i'm always taking up his time and he never hangs with the boys. I've gotten close to Griffin but that's just because i'm a crybaby. I wish i could just cuddle Anthony, hold his hand, kiss him whenever. But he doesn't feel the same way, know one will. Fuck i wish i was cuddling with Anthony right now, it's fucking cold in this room and i have no idea where the fuck my sheets went. Yes, i am sitting in a bed with nothing to cover me, all my sweatshirts are dirty. I look at my phone to check the time, 5:47am. My eyelids start to feel heavy and soon darkness engulfs me.
