Safe Haven(bxbxb+)

Eli(11)

I'm sorry for such a late chapter I had finals this week...

Kalons pov:

The car ride was silent, as we got home, and Adorjan filled Vance in on everything that happened as Vance sat at his desk rubbing his temples, I leaned against the door frame. I couldn't help but think about how exhausted, he looked.

"Thank you...Adorjan for deescalating the situation..." He mumbled turning to cough into his elbow.

Adorjan nodded, as I furrowed my eyebrows to see Vance turning slightly pale.
"We should check on Fletcher..." Adorjan told me as I hesitated my gaze lingering on Vance, yet we went to her room.

Knocking before we came in, with an all clear, he started talking about what happened,
I knew Lycus was gonna be shaken up, as I went to talk to him, sparkles caught the corner of my eye, on the dresser.

"Did you bring this with you?" I asked as I picked up the larger sparkly pendant.

"I-I uhm-" she began to stutter as Adorjan looked towards what I was holding with a furrowed look.

"Did you bring that?" Adorjan growled lowly instantly catching what was going on.

With Adorjan's low tone, even I felt the need to back up, he was mad...but I trusted he wouldn't hurt me, I had no reason to fear him, yet Fletcher had every reason. He glared before moving closer to me ripping it out of my hands roughly as he stormed downstairs.

Fletcher grabbed her crutches and followed me downstairs.

"Adorjan..." I called after his as he spun around his eyes flickering red.

"I stood up for her!" He spit harshly. "As my partners...my boyfriend! Got cussed out and called slurs!" He said harshly referring to Lycus.

"Why don't you go tell him..." Adorjan said softly turning to Fletcher as the corners of his mouth twitch upward on his face.

"What's going on?" Vance's hand landed on Adorjans shoulder making him spin around still aggressive manner.

"She fucking stole the necklace! I stood up for her!"
Vance glanced to Fletcher who was completely pale, before turning to Adorjan with a nod.

"Fletcher, my office." Vance told her softly as she nodded making her way off to his office.

"I wanna strangle her!" Vance's dominant gaze snapped to Adorjan before he walked closer.

"I don't know what the fuck your problem is. But you need to calm down before your punished...do you hear me?" Adorjan turned his tongue brushing his teeth before he nodded with a deadly glare, Vance looked him up and down before sighing as he left the room.

I turned to Adorjan, he grabbed my torso roughly, his fingers digging into my ribcage, as I looked up at him with in innocent gaze.
"I don't like her..." Adorjan mumbled. I placed my hands on his wrist, with a small nod.

"I know, but everyone has their issues..." Standing up on my tiptoes pressing my lips to his neck, making his head fall back, with a slight groan as I nipped softly.

I told Adorjan I'd find him later, as he went to the other boys downstairs, so I could check on Vance after Fletcher was released without another word.

"Sir?" I asked softly as I entered his office his head was buried in his hands. He glanced up at me with dark circles under his eyes.

"Yes love?"

"A-are you okay?" He sighed shaking his head, he tilted his head up, ushering me onto his lap. I tried to hide the smile as he called me over like I was a dog...as if I were his little pet.

As if I were what he needed at that moment, I straddles his lap, my back rested against his desk. I instantly went to press my lips against his to which he turned away.

Rejecting me completely. My lips parted in shock, as my eyes went wide, my bottom lip started to tremble so I took it between my teeth.

"I-I'm getting a little cold...I'd hate to get you sick..."

"I don't care!" I protested, as my eyes became slightly glossy as I tried again.

"Kalon..." I ignored him, as he accepted, allowing the kiss, it was short before he pulled away.

"You should rest. You do too much for us...I'll make you some soup." He sighed shaking his head.

"I want too, my head is pounding but I need to finish Fetchers paperwork..."

I shook my head.
"It can wait. Bed. Now." I said firmly.

"Kalon..."

I heated my finger tips before pressing them to his wrist.

"Shit!" He hissed glaring at me before slowly standing up. I couldn't help but giggle. Watching him march off to his room.

I ran downstairs, Declan and Milo were in the living room cuddling, and Declan is easily the best chef here.

"Hey Declan..." I smiled, sweetly.
"Can you help me?" He glanced over, with a peaceful Milo laying in his lap.

"Fuck it. Never mind..."
I mumbled before getting up to do it myself.

I have no cooking experience whatsoever so I tried my hardest, coming into his room with a hot bowl.

He was in a sleepy haze, he was a sickly pale and sweat sticking to his forehead. Setting the bowl on his nightstand, I brushed the hair off his pale skin.

He shook his head as he gave me a weak smile.

"Would you lay with me?"
His voice had grown scratchy as I nodded softly.
I slipped under the covers, his cold fingers landed on my ribcage, as I tried to ignore the goosebumps.

"You've got more than a cold." Whispering softly, he turned towards my side pulling me into his chest.

"I'll be alright." He laughed, pressing his lips to my forehead. Hating the pit feeling I had, I forced myself to believe it was just a cold.

Burying my nose into his neck as his breaths became even and softer, before I knew it he was asleep, as sleep was falling upon me, River walked in.

"Hey Kalon-" he froze before cringing "dinners done." He whispered before smiling softly as I nodded trying to get out of bed as quietly as possible.

"Fletcher - I can help you." I smiled taking her arm, before she attempted to go down the stairs with her hurt ankle, and crutches in one hand, her face fell as almost a sad look took over, before she nodded.

Ignoring it - as I gave them back to her at the bottom of the steps.

"H-hey guys..." she started not bothering to sit down.
When the next sentence fell from her lips, silence became loud, it became ear piercing loud.
Everyone froze.

Everyone stopped to hear those words fall.
"E-Eliott's gone..."
