Chaz POV
I stare at my best friend sleeping figure. We had to do a lot to calm him down just now. I didn’t want to say anything as I know Justin is not in a state for questions. He’s freaking out. He can’t stop crying for about 20 minutes until he finally pass out. I just hold him as that’s the only thing I could do. Even I feel like crying. I didn’t need to know what’s going on but to just find out that what Justin has been through is enough to make my heart ache for him. My brother is facing something awful and I just found out about it. How can he acts all happy when we hang out when he have this dreadful things happening to him. Without me even realizing it, tears escape my eyes as I watch my bruised up friend.
I wipe my tears as I take a breath. I look up to Ryan that was just looking out the window. He didn’t say anything at all after what Justin told us before he pass out. I can see that he’s upset and debating on something.
“Ry?” I said softly. He turns to look at me slowly. “We have to end this Chaz.” He said firmly. I look at him confuse. “What do you mean bro?” I ask. He walk towards me as he took a seat the other side of Justin on the bed. He stare at Justin as he shook his head slowly.
“We have to tell the others Chaz. We can’t let Justin get hurt anymore. I’ve been keeping this for days and I don’t think I can do it anymore. And you heard what he told us just now. What that asshole did to him. He could’ve kill him Chaz. What if Justin didn’t think of calling me? What would happen now?” he said as he rub his face frustrated. I sigh not knowing what to say.
“How are we going to tell them Ryan? We can’t take a wrong step bro. From what I know, if this douche is not dangerous, I don’t think Justin would keep quiet about it. What did Justin tell you? Did he say what Mark did to keep him quiet?” I ask calmly.
He stood up as he speaks. “Jay said that the assholes threaten his life and not only his but his mom, friends and crews, whoever that are close to him. He told me that Mark walk around with guns all the time. And he always threaten his mom’s life. He knows how Justin would never let anything happen to his mom Chaz. And that’s not the worst part..” he pause as he stop pacing around. He look at me in worried expression.
“He’s been stalking Justin.” He said. I gaps as I stood up. “What?” I ask in shock. “He’s been stalking Justin before all this happen Chaz. He planned all this. It’s not a coincidence Chaz. He’s a fucking sick man. What’s worst is your right, we can’t make a wrong move or something terribly bad will happen.” He said in defeat. I stare at the wall not knowing what to do, this is too much to process. Why is this happening to Justin? What did he do to deserve all this pain? How can Mark had a heart to do this to Justin? I guess he doesn’t have a heart. He’s a psycho.
“We have to stop this no matter what.” I said firmly as I look at my broken friend that is asleep and I hope it’s a peaceful one. Don’t worry Jay, everything will be over.
Justin POV
I flutter my eyes open slowly as I groan at my aching body. My eyes felt so heavy somehow. I turn my body to the other side only my hand to make contact with someone’s back. My eyes went wide as I was about to scream but then the person turns around making me sigh in relieve instead. But now I’m confuse. What is Chaz doing in my bed ? And then I scan my room as my eyes landed on the floor next to me. Ryan was lying there, sleeping peacefully with a lot of pillow around him. Okay, what are they doing here? I don’t remember having sleep over or anything. I rub my eyes as my wrist felt a stinging pain all of sudden. I stare at my wrist and all the memories from last night came back. I look at my two best friend. They know. They know everything now. Oh my god. I told Ryan about what Mark did to me last night. I stood up from the bed slowly, not wanting to wake them up. I walk out of the bedroom. The house was so quiet. Where’s Dad and the kids.
I guess no one is at home. I went back to my room and look for my phone. I reach for it and scroll through it seeing I have 5 miss call and 3 message. 3 miss call from my mom and 2 miss call is from dad. I slide open the messages. Dad send a message saying he won’t be coming back last night since it was raining heavily as his friend insist him to sleep over with the kids. Mom just send me a message asking me why didn’t I pick up the phone and how worried she is. But the last message from her makes me smile. She said she’s coming back in 2 days. I miss mom so much already. I replied their text and went to the bathroom, doing the usual. I didn’t cut though, my wrist is bandage and still throbbing from what Mark did. Thinking about it making my eyes water. I don’t want to ever go through that ever again. It hurts so bad. It’s like he’s ripping my skin off me.
“Dude, are you okay in there?” Chaz startle me from the other side of the room. I wipe my tears stain face as I wash them thinking I could hide the fact that I’m crying. I walk to the door and open it to be met with Chaz’s worried face. I look down to my feet. I heard him sighs. I decided to walk pass him but only to be met Ryan.
He clear his throats. “Justin, umm.. Scooter called asking for you. He said you have a small event to attend tonight.” He said as I just nod. “Why don’t we all go downstairs, I’ll cook us breakfast.” Ryan said as he pull my hand not waiting for my answer.
I sat at the kitchen table with Chaz beside me as Ryan busy preparing the breakfast. This was such an awkward silent that I wish I could get out from. But I didn’t want to say anything, I keep on staring at my hands, fiddling with it. I could feel Chaz gaze at me but I chose to ignore it. Minutes later, Ryan came with pancakes on the plate. He puts it in the middle. Chaz straight away took one and started to eat. I still didn’t look up. Ryan puts 2 pancakes on a plate and put in in front of me. I stare at the food. I don’t feel hungry at all even though I didn’t eat anything the whole day yesterday.
“Are you going to eat or just stare at it bro?” Ryan said chuckle a bit. I look up at him and put on a small smile as I try to eat the food. I cut in tiny pieces and put in in to my mouth only to gag on it. I put down my fork as I drink my water.
“Are you alright Justin?” Chaz ask beside me. I nod and push the plate away. “I’m not hungry.” I said softly.
“How can thet be when you hadn’t eat anything bro? I know you didn’t eat anything yesterday accept for the Ice Cream.” Ryan said confuse.
“I’m just not hungry. I don’t feel like eating.” I said again. “But Jay, you need to eat something. At least finish one of the pancakes.” Ryan said sounding worried. I shook my head. “You can’t force me to eat okay. I’m not a baby. I’ll eat when I feel like it and right now I don’t.” I snap. They went quiet and started eating their food. I feel bad for snapping at them but I just can’t help it. I just feel so upset and I don’t know why. Just too many things on my mind and I don’t like it when people force me to do things.
“Are you okay kiddo?” Kenny asks as I look at him feeling lightheaded. We’re currently at the event. It’s like a charity event where I just have to sings like 2 songs. I try to smile and nod my head. Ryan and Chaz are also with me, they didn’t have anything to do tonight, so they came with me. They were with me the whole day and I’m not complaining. I know they’re looking out for me but never once they talk about what happen last night and I’m thankful for that. I also didn’t see Mark today which make me feel weird and suspicious. Dad and the kids came back around noon. So, we basically spend the whole day together.
“Why do you look so pale Justin?” Kenny ask again as I continue walking with him to the backstage. I sway a bit as I hold my head. “Woah there.” Kenny said as he holds my arms. I feel so dizzy right now and my stomach hurts really bad. I could feel sweats running down my foreheads. I look at Kenny and his mouth was moving but I didn’t hear anything. My vision started to blur as I could feel myself fall in to a unconscious.
Narrator POV
Kenny carried Justin’s limp body to the dressing room in panic. He didn’t know what’s wrong with the young boy but he did know that Justin is not well when he saw him earlier. He was pale and looks weak.
“Scooter!” Kenny voices boom at the dressing room area. Everyone advert their attention to Kenny and gaps. Kenny burst in to the dressing room and gently lay Justin on the couch. Scooter came running with the others. “What happen?” he ask frantically as he run towards Justin. “I don’t know alright, we were walking to the backstage when suddenly he just collapsed.” Kenny explains.
Scooter straight away called the doctor. Ryan and Chaz look at each other. They know why Justin suddenly just fainted, he hasn’t eat anything at all and they tried their best to make Justin eat but he always said he’s not hungry or he will eat later. Scooter was freaking out as this is the second time Justin has collapse. He was worried as he knows something is wrong with Justin’s health. Scooter did notice on how Justin been acting really strange lately but he just shrugged it off thinking it’s just the teenagers thing.
Alfredo approach Ryan and Chaz as he can see right through them. He knows that they know something and they’re not telling. Once Ryan eyes met his, he gesture him to go outside. Ryan look at him confuse but nod anyways as he pulled Chaz along.
“Okay fucking spill.” Fredo demand once they finally were outside the room. Ryan looks at Chaz that was just sweating from nervousness. He didn’t know what to respond. He knows Fredo can smell that is something wrong with Justin and he also knows that they already know what the cause for Justin distant behavior lately.
Ryan look at fuming Fredo and clear his throats. “I don’t know how to tell you this man.” He said softly, it’s like he’s losing his voice or something. Fredo was upset, he can’t take it anymore. He’s worried about Justin and this is the second time Justin went unconscious and the first time was right in front of his eyes.
“What’s going on with Justin guys? Just please tell me.” he said as calmly as he can. Ryan sigh as he nod his head.
“But I think we should take a seat when I explain this to you bro. I don’t think I should explain it right now, not in here.” Ryan said trying to make Fredo understand. Fredo let out a sigh as he nod.
10 minutes later, the doctor finally arrive and went and check Justin. There’s nothing severe going on with Justin. That’s what he thought anyways. He just said that Justin needs rest and he needs something for his energy as the doctor realize that Justin was a bit pale and his lips was dry showing he didn’t drink a lot of water. He then suggest for them to take him to the hospital if something like this happen again so he could be check more clearly. Justin performance was canceled as he is in no state of doing it and the fact that he’s still unconscious. They took him home instantly. Jeremy was shock when he sees Kenny was carrying Justin in his arms. He felt worried instantly as he makes his way to his son. Kenny lays Justin on the living room couch.
“What happen?” Jeremy asks clearly worried. “We don’t know, he was just walking with me for his show and then he just collapse. We call the doctor and all. He said he’s just tired and need some energy. Do you think Justin hasn’t been eating Jeremy?” Scooter asks.
“Why do you ask that?” Jeremy asks furrowing his eyebrows. “Well, don’t you think he’s losing weight?” Scooter asks again as he stare at the young boy. At first he thought his mind was just playing trick on him when he realize Justin has been losing weight lately but now he knows that he is losing weight and he looks paler by the day. Jeremy nod his head hesitantly when he remembers the day that he had to force Justin to eat his lunch but he said he wasn’t hungry. The adults are more than worried now.
While they were figuring out what’s happening to the young boy, the teens were outside the house. Ryan is nervous to tell Fredo what’s really going on with Justin, he doesn’t know how to break the news. He was anxious enough when he told Chaz and now he had to explain the painful story to his other friend.
“I need you to listen to this carefully Fredo. I don’t want to repeat it. I can’t bare the pain of telling this for the third time.” Ryan said as he rub his temple. Fredo nods while he waits for Ryan to explain.
Ryan explain every single thing he can like the way he had explain to Chaz. He stare at Fredo’s expression and he knows Fredo was about to explode but he continued anyways. He needs to tell him, maybe he could help them figure out on how to stop Mark’s psycho mind.
“And yeah, when he told me that that bastard almost killed him, that’s when I thought we should stop this. I need to stop this Fredo. Justin has been through enough and I know he’s broken enough. I don’t want to see him like that anymore. For me to know that he went through this horrible things and I just found out about it after I don’t know how many times he’s been torture is making me feel sick and I never wanted to kill anybody till this day.” Ryan said as he clench his fist.
He’s angry and he does feel like killing Mark. He took everything from Justin. The most important thing to Justin, his virginity that was supposed to be given to the person he loves but it got taken away by some old sick man.
Fredo could not process what he had heard. He didn’t know what to feel. He knows Justin was dealing with something but he didn’t expect this. He didn’t expect his younger friend has been abuse and most of all rape?. He was speechless. Justin was so strong to have put the façade lately. Just thinking about it making Fredo stood up from his seat. Chaz just stare at his movement. He was crying actually. The whole time Ryan was explaining, he just can’t help it but to shed a tear. He still didn’t get why Justin has to go through that.
“We have to tell the others.” Fredo speak with venom in his voice. Yeah, he was upset. It’s not his usual self to be mad at anything but this is not something he could joke about or not take it seriously. Someone is hurting one of his best friend and not just hurting but is breaking him. do you honestly think he would let it go away just like that.
“But how Fredo?” Ryan ask frustrated. “How are we going to tell them without all hell break lose? This is not something easy to tell, this is about Justin’s life we’re talking here. That bastard is a fucking sick man. He’s a freaking psycho. He’s a stalker.. he’s a..” Ryan trails off not being able to find anything else to describe how much a monster Mark is to him.
Fredo sighs. “I don’t know man but we have stop this. You said yourself that he almost killed Justin. What makes you think he won’t do it again? We haven’t even seen him the whole day. Who knows what’s he’s planning to do. This is a freaking pedophile we’re talking about here. We need to tell the others and the police. We can’t just let him walk around like nothing happen. We can’t let him hurt Jay anymore Ry.” Fredo said in a whisper. He felt useless. He’s the oldest among them, he should figure out on how to help his younger friend but he didn’t know how. Justin is like a little brother to him and now his little brother is hurt deeply and he just found out about it.
After minutes of discussing on how to tell the other or should they say the adults, they finally decided to just tell them in the morning since Pattie is arriving home late night. She got early then she told Justin as she just can’t wait to see her son and she also had a bad feeling that something is going to happen.
While the boys were discussing, they didn’t realize that someone was watching and listen to every bit of their conversation from beginning. He was furious that they found out about it. And now his secrets will be spilled and he can’t let that happen. He started to think of an idea and let me tell you he has the wicked idea ever just like his twisted mind.
Justin POV
I flutter my eyes open and rub my eyes. Woah. My head hurts. I groan a bit. My blurry vision started to clear as I look at my surrounding. I furrow my eyebrows. I’m in my room? What happen? I tried to get up as I felt someone cover my mouth making my eyes widen. I felt something cold on my neck. I tried to look down and I realize the person was pointing a knife at my neck. I look up only to be met with the coldest eyes ever. The eyes I’ve grown to fear, that I hope would just disappear from my head.
“Don’t make a single sound.” He warns. I kept quiet not daring to make any move. He remove the knife from my neck and play it on my cheek making me flinch. He smirks evilly.
“You know Justin. I told you not to tell anybody didn’t I?” he asks staring at my eyes. I nod instantly. “But I wonder whether your just deaf and stupid or you just don’t love your life anymore.” He said pressing the knife on my right cheek making me let out a scream but it was muffle. I felt the stinging pain on my cheek and I felt liquid were flowing down from it and I know it’s my blood. He chuckle as he lick it making me feel the pain more. I tried to get out from his grasp but I can’t, he’s too strong. He lick it as he began to suck at it making me feel disgusted than ever.
“Now that you’ve done it, you have to accept the consequences.” He said looking at me still smirking.
I look at him in fear as he took the pillow beside me and stuff it on my face making me struggle under it. He pushed it so hard that I don’t have enough space to breath. I move my hand everywhere, desperately trying to pry the pillow away from me.
“Just stop moving. Just go to sleep, I’ll take you somewhere that only us will be together and no one can bother us there.” I heard him say as I was still struggling to get s room for air. I finally gave up when I feel lightheaded. My hands fell beside me as my eyes started to get blurry. I was sweating. I felt the pillow was taken away from my face but I can’t move anymore. I’m so tired.
“That’s it baby. Just go to sleep.” Is the last thing I heard before everything just went black.
