CHAPTER 4

 Veigh realized something and he stopped, 

"I'm sorry, I should not get carried away…" Veigh explained,

"Wait what? Just do it please…?" Collie begged,

"Benz! Take out Collie for a while and send Zhander in" Veigh said,

"I'm here!" Zhander yelled,

While Benz just got a hold of Collie and pulled him out,

"Collie give them space for a while," Benz said,

Collie is upset, he decides to go to the library, and he meets his only friend in the town, a secret friend,

"Hey Collie, did you walk here from the mansion?" Xenon asked, 

"Yeah," Collie smiled,

"Well it is already 5 pm, I'm about to close, you can stay…"

"Thank you Xenon" 

"I know you're a pretty guy, but I have someone in my mind, you see, he is living with Quiarlson, your sugar daddy," Xenon said and grinned,

"He is not my sugar daddy" Collie doubted himself,

"Are you sure? I saw you with him buying the most expensive clothes in the world, and you are wearing one right now, do you know how much this cost?" Xenon grabs Collie's sweater,

"I don't know…" Collie looked at what he was wearing,

"This cost 980 dollars and your jeans cost 470 dollars, what you were wearing before that I gave cost 50 dollars from head to foot," Xenon said,

"Wow… but still he is not my sugar daddy," Collie said,

"Have you slept with him?"

"No… but I sleep beside him…"

"Oh… have you seated on his lap?"

"N-… Yeah"

"Kissed?"

"Yeah"

"Ask you to come to him even without any important reasons?"

"Yes…"

"And for the final question, does he buy you any expensive things even if it is not an important day?"

"Does buying me an entire closet full of clothes count?" Collie asks hesitatingly,

"Yes, it does, now you see my point? He is your sugar daddy, you will go crawling to him for money, and he will do it for sex and for your attractive body features" Xenon just drop the bomb at Collie,

"What should I do?"

"Live your life to the fullest" Xenon suggested,

"I can't… there are no feelings attached to it right?"

"Yeah, there is none, most likely sugar babies suck the money of their sugar daddy, how about learning to save money, just in case he will throw you soon," Xenon said,

He could see how Collie would be back as homeless if Veigh threw him out, Xenon could not even do anything or help Collie, he has his problems already, like being bullied for having heterochromia (eyes that have different colors, which usually occurs to cats or frequently dogs but most likely it doesn't affect eyesight) that is why Xenon wears glasses just to avert the people's attention to his glasses instead of his eyes.

"I guess you are right but he never gave me money so… I just live myself to the fullest," Collie said,

"Alright… are you going back to the mansion?" Xenon asked as he was clearing his table full of books,

"I don't want to…" Collie said as he thought of Veigh with Zhander,

"OK then you can stay with me tonight, I still have the bed that I offered to you, that you didn't accept because you said, 'I'm worthless and useless to you so I don't want to owe you' which is nonsense, anyways are you hungry? I have some pizza here" Xenon said,

"Where?" Collie asked he didn't see or smell any pizza at all,

"Inside my home"

"Where?" again Collie asked, after all, Xenon doesn't have a home that he knows of after wandering everywhere he knows every address and Xenon could only be found at the Library

"Come on, follow me, let me just carry these books" Xenon took the books that he had stacked earlier, 

Collie just follows him but they go to a bookshelf, the last one that sticks to the wall,

The form library inside has two levels each one has stairs on the left and the right, the front bookshelves face left and right, and the back faces front and back one of those bookshelves behind is Xenon's home but two other shelves lead to a passage.

"Here we are," Xenon said as they faced the middle bookshelf,

"What?"

Xenon pushed a black book and the shelf went in half, opening a pathway, Collie was stunned,

"Don't try these with the other shelves at the side, you'll never get out" Xenon warned Collie,

"Okay…"

"Welcome to my home, well technically not home but residence… why do I sound like someone else?" Xenon showed a door and opened it and inside there was a living room with a TV and a couch,

"Wait, this is your place?" 

"Yeah you are the first one to enter, why not explore around and feel comfy, if you need hiding come to me nobody will find you," Xenon said,

"How did you do this?" 

"Simple, while I was about 12 I worked as a library assistant here, the librarian was my adopted father and I discovered that the library's back is a complete jungle, so many trees like a mini forest, every time I work here I would sneak some construction materials which was used in constructing the city hall, I stole a few scraps and with the knowledge I learned from books, I learned the book technology in movies, so after I created the entire house for 5 years, I finally installed the door, and my adoptive father ran as vice mayor, you know him who also fled after Quiarlson came back, I already took over the library when I was 19 and completed the entire secret house, and now I live here" Xenon explained everything,

"So you finished this 7 years ago…"

"Yeah, it is pretty tiring… Anyway let's eat, here is the pizza still hot from the oven, and here are some soft drinks, or coffee?" 

"I'm good with anything…"

"Ok"

"Hey I remember you want to talk about someone"

"Yeah that… one with Quiarlson," Xenon said,

"Zhandra?"

"Is he? He is not a girl, he is a P star"

"What?" Collie was shocked,

"I know you know stop lying," Xenon said seriously,

"He is trying to hide his past…" Collie said,

"So why hate him?"

"I don't… I'm just jealous…"

"Don't worry Collie, I like that guy I'll do everything to make him mine, anyways, I'm full I'm going to rest now, you know your room already" Xenon said and went to his room,

Collie finished the food and washed the dishes, he went to the room that Xenon told him about and saw that it was complete with all the stuff he needed.

He finally fell asleep.
