The Ones For Him

|29|

"Milo?"

"They're just old friends, Dom." I looked at him and this time, my phone rang. I sighed and got up, "I'll be back."

I stepped out to the front of the house and answered the call. "Liam, did you really have to call me to update me?"

"No, but watching somebody sleep in a field of flowers, isn't really entertaining and I had nothing better to do." My friend sighed through the phone and I rolled my eyes.

"It would be fun for me, though."

Liam snorted, "Yeah, because you're Xavier's stalker who likes to watch him sleep, sex, eat, shower, etcetera."

"And? Is that a problem?" I asked him and heard movement through the phone.

"To you, clearly not, but to normal people like me, yes. That's called an obsession."

I scoffed, "You lock people up in cages, Liam!"

"Hey, they ask me to, alright?! Plus, I get paid for it which means more money for me." I could hear the smirk in his voice and rolled my eyes again.

"Yeah, whatever. Call me, when he wakes up, ok? And tell Logan to be ready this time!"

"Yeah, whatever, bye!" He hung up and I shook my head, putting my phone away.

As I turned to walk back in the house, I bumped into someone, and that someone was Gio. I looked up at him and noticed that his eyes were dark.

"'When he wakes up,' who?"

"My friend." I replied with an empty tone, but he shook his head, walking closer to me.

"You're lying again, Milo." His hands turned into fists and I looked down at them, his hands pushing me back, "You know where he is, don't you?!"

"Are you gonna hit me?" He scowled and I chuckled, "Go ahead, Gio. Hit me. Once Xavier comes back and I tell him, you know yourself that he would never talk to you ever again."

He pulled his hand back and punched the wall beside me, his face moving closer. I didn't look away from him and stared him down until he was a few inches away from my face.

"Where is he, Milo?"

"I don't know, Gio."

He growled and grabbed my arm, pulling me back into the house. Everyone turned our way as he dropped me on the couch next to Dom.

"Milo knows where Xavier is."

"What?!"

"No, I don't!" I felt my phone vibrate, but didn't reach to grab it.

Gio walked towards me and I pushed his hands away when he tried grabbing me. Marco moved behind him and pulled him back, or tried to. I kicked Gio's crotch and he groaned, letting me go. I got up and reached for my phone, but realized that it was gone.

"'He's awake.' Who's 'he?'" Manuel held my phone in his hand and everyone turned to me, waiting for me to respond.

I sighed and rubbed my face. My phone began ringing and I was about to take it from Manuel, but he answered it.
