Chapter 14

Mike’s POV

          “N-No, M-Mikey, p-please don’t let them t-take me,” Chester whimpered in his sleep. Mike slowly opened his eyes as he saw Chester lying next to him with his body pressed up as close as possible to him. Mike wrapped his arm around the smaller man and kissed him softly.

          “It’s ok baby, it’s just a dream,” he said quietly. Chester shivered and then his whimpering started again.

          “S-Stop, s-stop!”

          Mike gently shook him awake, “Chester, it’s ok.”

         

          Chester slowly opened his eyes and when he saw Mike he held onto him tightly. Mike had a feeling this was going to happen. With the constant distance that they’d been going through, he knew Chester was going to be very clingy. He would be too. He didn’t want to let the other man go. He glanced down and saw the bruising on Chester’s neck. Someone had grabbed him around the throat. He felt anger flare in his chest.

          “Chazzy, what did they do to you there?” he asked softly. Chester shook his head and didn’t say anything.

          “Please tell me Ches,” he said as he stroked Chester’s hair. Chester looked away.

          “It was like high school all over again. They were all hurting me and beating me up,” Chester whispered. Mike stroked his thumb over the bruise on Chester’s face.

          “I’m so sorry,” he said quietly. Chester shook his head.

          “You didn’t know.”

          “But Chaz….I sent you there. It was such a mistake. I just wanted you to see how I couldn’t handle this anymore. I’m sorry.”

          “Please stop apologizing,” Chester said giving him a kiss to shut him up. Mike kissed him back.

          “Ok,” he said before kissing Chester again. Chester slowly rolled out of bed and then shivered. It was kind of a chilly day.

          “Do you want a hoodie Chester?” Mike asked.

          “Nah. A t-shirt will be fine,” Chester said pulling on his t-shirt. Mike nodded and then they walked down the stairs together. Chester grabbed his leather jacket from the chair and pulled it on. He looked so hot. Mike smiled before taking his hand and then leading them to the couch.

          “What do you want to do today?” he asked softly as they sat down.

          “Whatever. We still need to work on the second album.”

          “I know. But we’re starting that tomorrow. Today is ours.”
