Chapter 13: You stuck like deep into my bone

There will be a number of things running in the mind of Marc, as he will be driving fast as per the location, which is visible in the mobile. Pain, sadness, loneliness, and much more things were clearly visible in the face.

Soon Marc reaches the place, as it is so dark, which is an old building. He looks around; no one is visible at the building. Slowly he enters the building. He looks at each and every place; none is visible to Marc. His tension rises. 

"Nothing should happen

Nothing should happen

Nothing should happen," mumbles in a worried tone. Soon tears drop from the eyes; he feels as if he left alone again; his eyes fall on the stares; he soon rans to the steps and goes to the first floor; he holds his breath and slowly opens the door in tension. As he sees Ren, where he was tied to the chair, and puts a plaster in his mouth. By seeing him alive, Marc starts breathing again; Marc falls to the floor in relief after seeing Ren; tears will be rolling continuously from his eyes. After seeing Ren's tears, soon he crawls to Ren, untie Ren, and removes plaster from the mouth.

Ren immediately hugs Marc with teary eyes; Marc kisses on Ren's forehead in concern. Marc looks around; no one sees around; he sees Ren's face and says, "Don't say that you actually planned all these things." Marc says in a cold tone.

"Actually yes....." Ren says in worried tone

Marc raises his eyebrow and stares coldly into Ren's eyes. "Do you know how dangerous game you played? If something happened to you, what should I do? You have..." Marc will be shouting to Ren in a high tone.

Soon Ren wants to escape from the scolding of Marc. Soon he leans forward and kisses on the lower lip. As Ren's lips touch Marc's lips, Marc's eyes widen as he loses his words, forgets everything, and will be staring at Ren and standing like a statue.

Ren moves back to stare at Marc's face. After a few seconds, Ren places one hand on the neck of Marc and the other hand on the torso of Marc, as they both are drowning deep into the kiss of the sea, exploring each other through their mouths. As they were kissing from the past around a minute, both felt dizzy due to running out of oxygen and broke the kiss. Marc sees the lips, as Ren's lips were swollen red.

"What can I do when I don't have any other choice left rather than this way, when you are not beside me or when you are not talking to me or glancing for not even once? It feels like I am running out of oxygen; I didn't have any option. Marc, 

Why do I feel like we have been stuc'...ck like deep into bone, why do I feel the thing I share bet.ween us is like it was there between us from long tim...me, I wasn't just aware..." say in sobbing voice by holding collar of Marc's shirt.

As Marc can't see the tears in Ren's eyes, he drags aggressively and hugs tight to his chest. Ren put his hand around Marc's back, clenching tightly as Marc rested his head on Ren's head.

'I just fear Ren; it feels like the closeness that we have now feels like it makes us far from each other. I hope it should not come at least on this earth.' thinking himself

"Sorry, little prince, I won't leave for even a second." says with a low voice, caressing Ren's cheeks with his hand, wiping the tears of Ren.

Soon they both reach Marc's house. 

Jack will be moving back and forth in tension by biting his nails, and Jordan and Sophia will be busy on their phones. Jack stares at the clock as it shows it is near to midnight.

"Little monster, come sit; they both will be soon here within the time; no need to worry." Jordon says in a playful tone. Sophia glances at Jordon and gives a sassy smirk to Jordon as she is irritated.

Hears car stops in front of house; soon Jack ran to the car. Jack observes Steve and Professor Marcus coming out of the car with bright smiley faces, though their faces and eyes were swollen and seem to have cried for a long time.

Jordon and Sophia stare at Marcus's face with eagerness; soon he catches bright and smiles on Marcus face. They relax and step inside the house, as Jack and Steve walk behind them.

Jack drags hoody of Steve; he stares at Jack. "I need to know everything between you and Professor; spill the tea." Jack asks in curiosity. 

"Hmm, aren't we obvious to you? Can't you guess what's going on between us?" Ren says in a sassy voice, frowning the eyebrows.

Soon everyone will be sitting on the couch. "I didn't expect this from you, Jordan; how could you do that? Don't you love your brother? Are they more important than me? Why did you agree to help these cons?" Marc says in a serious tone

"Maybe he is just whipped like you." Ren soon holds his mouth and stares at everyone as all the eyes are on him, eagerly waiting to know what the things are.

Soon Ren stood from the sofa and held Jack's hand. "Then we will leave now." Ren says in a hurried tone

"Have you seen the time? It's midnight now; how will you leave now?" Jordon says in a concerned tone.

Jack stares into Jordon's eyes as he sees the genuine worry, which is clearly visible on the face of Jordon. He feels happy for a second that he has someone who worries about him, apart from Steve and his father, but soon he doesn't like that Jordon cares about him; is it only Jordon, or does he want anyone to feel close to him?

"As tomorrow is the weekend, I will leave you both at your places; rest here for today." Marc says in a stern voice.

Soon Jack and Ren go to the guest room, get freshened up, and change their dresses as Jack brought his clothes along with him while coming from his place. Ren wears the clothes given by Marc, and soon Ren and Jack sit on the bed. 

"Now spill the tea; what are you hiding from me?" Jack asks in curiosity as he can't wait to listen to all the things from Steve's mouth.

"Hmm," Ren will not raise his head as he is staring at the bedsheet in shyness.

"Do you love Professor Marcus?" Jack says a bit in a high voice, and soon Ren covers his mouth in a worried expression.

"Calm down, my boy. It's almost 1:00 am. Do you want to awaken all the people here?" Ren says in a worried tone

"But earlier you were loving Nina; I asked you multiple times to break up with her; when did you start loving Professor?" Jack says, by widening his eyes, he wants to know about more things.

"You know what? I don't even remember who Nina is." Ren says nonchalantly

"Seriously, Steve, when did you become this much sassy?" Jack says in a mocking tone

"May the virus spread from you..." soon gets down from the bed as Jack throws a pillow from the bed to Steve.

"You come here." Jack says in an angry voice as he puts up just an act in front of him, where they both running all the room, soon falls on the ground as they both are tired of and will be breathing heavily.

"I am happy to see the smile on your face, J. At first, when I saw you are so lifeless, it hurts so much. I wanted to do something that brings happiness to you." Ren cups Jack's face in a caring way.

"Hmm, you have done so many things; just be in my life as a friend till last breath. I don't want anything much." Jack says in a calm voice, as each and every word is genuine.

"Wait, I have forgotten to ask you something. What is going on between you and Jordan? I smell something fishy." Ren says in a doubtful tone.

Jack remembers the kiss that he had with Jordon; soon his ears and cheeks turn red, and he gulps thick.

"Hello, are you there in this world? Are you chasing Jordon in your dreams?" Ren says in a calm voice by waving his hand in front of Jack's face.

Soon Jack starts hiccupping, Ren sees water around the place; they don't find water nowhere. Ren will be about to go to get water. He stops by Jack; he went into the kitchen and drinks water, but the hiccups won't stop. He fills the bottle and will be going into the room. His eyes fall on Jordon as he stands at the steps that were connecting the other side to reach down and will be talking in the mobile in a serious tone. While he was going into the room, his hand touched accidentally the flower vase, which was kept outside of the room, and it soon fell on the ground and broke into multiple pieces. Jack sees in a worried way, looks to the glass pieces, and hears his word from Jordon. He turns his head and sees a piece of glass stuck on the hand of Jordon. Soon Ren runs out from the room, about to step on the glass pieces. Jack sees Ren and stops.

"Careful, Steve, there are glass pieces." Jack says in a worried tone.

"I think Jordan has got cut." Ren says in a concerned tone.

"Yeah, I will see him; you go inside." Jack says and goes to Jordan.

By seeing Jordon's hand, which is cut and still a glass piece is stuck in the bicep, Jack's eyes will be filled with tears and hiccups. He takes Jordon to his bedroom, and Jack makes him sit on the bed.

with worried eyes, "Where hic is first aid box, hic." Jack asks

Jordon points out the drawer. Soon he reaches to draw and brings out the first aid kit, slowly removes the glass piece, applies medicine, and puts on a bandage to the cut. Still, hiccups won't stop.

Jordon puts his hand at his neck and brings lips close to Jack's and pecks on Jack's lips, soon widening Jack's eyes. He pushes away Jordan. Stares into Jordan's face in anger.

"How dare you to behave like this?" Jack says in an angry voice by standing up from the bed.

"Hmmm, I just wanted you to stop hiccups." Jordon says in a high tone

"I think you should be concerned about you rather than me, as you got hurt." Jack, as in nonchalantly

"I was irritated by hiccups; I just wanted to stop, nothing more than that." Jordon said it in a careless tone, but deep down he was concerned about Jack, that he might feel discomfort from hiccups.

Jack feels a painful pit in his stomach after listening to Jordon's words. Is he really wanting Jordon to care about him? As of now, he didn't want to know anything or find answers that were popping in his brain.

Jack puts all the things back in the drawer and will be about to leave the room.

"What is this the way you treat a person who was accidentally hurt by you?" Jordon says in a playful tone

Jack turns around to him, knotting eyebrows.

"What do you mean?" Jack asks in an aggressive voice 

"Hmm, today what not you have done to me? I helped you in many ways, but you just did what you wanted; you kissed me without my permission that to until I bleed and this wound. But you say the things as you want; is this how you treat me?" Jordon fakes tears in front of Jack, and as he traces tears in Jack's eyes before he leaves, he might have guessed that the wound that was on his bicep has hurt Jack. If Jack was hurt mentally and physically, why does Jordon care? What he really related to Jordon, none of them knows.

Jack tightens his lips, turns around to Jordon, and stares into Jordon's eyes. After seeing tears in his eyes, he moves his body to Jordon.

"I want you to take care of me until I get healed with this hand." Jordon says with a pout on his lips, 

"Seriously..." Jack says by rolling eyes.

"If you were hurt like me, I would have done the same, I said." Jordon says in a low tone.

"Ok, don't be too dramatic; tell me what you want." Jack says in a high tone

"Nothing much, just sit beside me until I fall into deep sleep." Jack says he knows that he might not agree to his words.

Jack will be silent and downing his head.

"Please, please. If my mom was alive, she wouldn't leave me for a second." Jordon says in a low tone, as if he may cry in any moment.

"Ok, ok, only until you sleep, but let me clear all those glass pieces that were lying on the floor." Jack says 

"No need to worry; maids have already cleared; I just texted them." Jordon says

"What a meanie you are; how could you disturb someone when they are sleeping?" Jack says in a worried tone

"Hmm, if you really were concerned like them towards me, I would be the happiest person in the world," she says in a too low voice. Jack didn't hear those words.

Jack sits on the bed; he covers the sheets until the chest of Jordon by sitting beside him; Jordon will be resting on Jack's shoulders; Jack will be patting on the head of Jordon slowly; without knowing it, he slowly closes his eyes; Jordon sees Jack sleeping, and he makes him sleep properly beside him.

"Little monster, I don't know when you have entered into my brain; now a days my brain is filled with our thoughts, like have you eaten or not, how are you doing? I don't know why I like to take care of you, but whatever I do that is related to you, it feels good to me; that's the reason I wanted you to help. When you asked me the things about Steve, even how can I say no to you? You feel so precious, like I want to treasure you all the time." Jordon slowly sleeps beside Jack as his eyelids are weighted heavy due to sleep.
