Some Book Of Mormon stories.

(❗🕷️⚠️)McPriceley "The Ward" pt.3

°Kevin POV°
I can't help but to stay awake. All I can think about is Connor. How his hair is parted, how he giggles every time we speak, how his hips sway... I shake my head and sit up, I've already dealt with staff that checked up on me. I know that if I get caught I'll get in trouble, but I'm not sure how much trouble. I stand and get prepared to go talk to Connor if he's awake.

Our ward isn't super strict, we're not in here for crazy stuff you see in movies.
All of us down this hall are along the lines of suicidal. Sometimes they even let some of the patients hug, until one of the mean staff ladies we all call Karen, has to barge in. I start to make my way down to where I saw Connor go. His room isn't too far from mine, only down two doors. The hallway is dark and quiet.

A chill runs down my spine as I walk towards Connor's room. I open the door slightly and knock. He sits up and looks at me. Even in the dark I can tell something's wrong. I walk in and close the door behind me.

"W-who?"

His voice is shakey, what happened that made him so scared? I know he has dreams, the other elders told me that. But this didn't feel like a dream, it felt like something more. Something disgusting and wretched.

"It's just me Connor."

I walk up to his bed.

"Kevin?"

"Yeah, can I sit with you? I can't sleep and clearly neither can you."

I turn on my little pocket flashlight and set it down so it's easier to see. I can see him shaking slightly. I put a hand on his back to calm him down but he only flinches and looks up at me with wide eyes. He looks so frightened...

"What happened Connor?"

He takes a few deep breaths and tries to explain through sobs.

"I-I....*hiccup* h-he...."

He can't even get out a full sentences without crying. I rub his back to comfort him. Though I don't know what happened, I still comfort him to the best of my abilities. I've never been good at this kind of thing. He calms down a bit and continues.

"I told him no. But he wouldn't stop...he...he..."

He starts to cry again but I got the gist of it.

"Who was it?"

"M-Matt...he.." he continues to hiccup and sob on my chest.

"Shh...shh, he can't hurt you anymore. I won't let him."

He looks up at me with red but hopeful eyes.

"Y-You mean it?"

I nod and he just presses his face back into my bare chest, not even caring that I've only got pants on. Or that he's completely naked.

He lays down and pulls me by the shoulders to lay by him. He cries himself to sleep as he cuddles into my chest. I wrap my arms around him and slowly fall asleep. I swear if I see Matt again, he will pay for what he did to Connor.
