#Chapter5

Aiden don't know what time is it. He just want to get out of here. He was still thinking of what to do and the door open again. This time it was Jackson, Aiden recognized him at first look "Get out. Take this back. I don't want to eat. Just go." He said and Jackson smiled looking at the brunette.

"Addie li-....”

"It's Aiden and I don't want to listen get out" He cut him off and threw the same knife at him.

"Woah woah woah boy. Stop okay." Jackson picked it up and left the room but he forgot to lock the room, Aiden got the chance he was waiting for and didn't even wait for second more and ran to the door.

He peeked out of the door and saw no one was outside he left the room. He saw a man and hid behind the stairs when man went away he looked "clear" he said and ran forward. He still remember the path he came in yesterday and ran as fast as he could to the main door. And he left the mansion just like that.

The road from his room to the gate was way too easy he thought about that but then shrugged that thought off and ran down the road not knowing the way. He ran and ran until he saw a phone booth. He didn't knew what else to do so he ran to the phone booth and dialed the first number he remembered.

Jimmy.

He dialed the number but no one picked it up. Aiden's body was shaking badly. He don't know what to do. He saw here and there to see if anyone was coming or not. He again dialed Jimmy's number but again no one picked the call. He left the receiver and was about to leave when he thought again and turned back to the phone. He dialed the only person left he can call for help.

"Pick up the call please." Aiden said while the bell rings again.

"Hello."

"M-Maddie, Maddie"

"Aiden? Aiden what happened where are you? Is everything alright?"

"Mad-Maddie please help me out. I-I-I'm being kid...." he didn't even finish the sentence when he felt someone was standing behind him. The door swung open. Aiden didn't have the courage to look back.

"Aiden…… Aiden. Hello Aiden where are you... hello Aiden are you listening? Whe....." And with that the line went cold.

"You really thought I'll let you go that easily?" Aiden heard same dominant voice he heard yesterday. He didn't turn around. He was shaking badly and his vision started to get blurry because of the tears. He was terrified.

Jonathan harshly held his collar and punched him at his jaw. Aiden hit the side of the booth and fell down. Jonathan pulled him up again and dragged him to the car. They reached the mansion and Jonathan dragged him out of the car and got to the front door.

He kicked him again and Aiden tried to hold himself straight by holding the door. He stood up again but before he can handle himself Jonathan launched another punch at his stomach and Aiden hit the hard tiles of living room.

"Stand up" Jonathan roared and Aiden tried but he couldn't. Jonathan pulled him up and slapped him hard. Aiden turned with the impact and hit the pillar.

"P-pl-please...." He didn't get to finish when another punch landed on his stomach and he coughed the blood. Aiden fell down but Jonathan didn't stop he kicked him again and again.

It was like Jonathan was blinded by rage he was not seeing the boy infront of him. All of the Jonathan's men gathered at the living room but no one got the courage to stop him. Aiden was badly wounded he was getting in and out of the consciousness.

"JK you are going to kill him. Stop now" a voice echoed the hall but Jonathan was not affected by it.

"JK STOP" the person yelled again. Jonathan’s eyes widened as if he was also shocked at what he did. He turned to the voice.

"Z-Zack" Jonathan saw his surroundings.

"Take him away. Lock him up" Jonathan walked away from the scene sparing one last glance to the brunette who seemed to be dead.

"Call Erica" he said and entered his office. Zack followed him "I want to stay alone for a while" he said and closed the door at Zack's face.

"Did I killed him? What happened to me that was not me?"

Jonathan was lying on his bed. Head lying on the bed while legs dangling on the side of bed. One arm under his head while the other lying peacefully on bed. Lost in thinking..

What was that?

He thought while replacing right arm under his head and resting the left one on bed. He was way to confuse on younger's behaviour. He didn't even do anything. Well yes, he controlled himself a lot after looking at the others condition.

It’s been more than 2 hours since he is lying at his bed after his interaction with younger. He was unable to sink it down. The shaking body of others and then falling limp. Why did he catch him? Why did he let go of his agenda? Why did he become soft after seeing younger's trembling body?

These questions were not letting him be free.

Flashback:

"What did you do JK. Look at him man" Zack said running toward younger and Jonathan turned over his heels to leave. He heard a scream and turned to the both males.

Zack was standing close to the younger and when Jonathan turned, he thought to comfort the younger but as he stretched his hand toward him the other flinched and moved away from him. Zack didn't understand why he did that so he came closer to the younger and hold his hand but Aiden screamed and started freeing his arm from Zack's hand.

"P-please father. P-please stop. It hurts. I didn't break my promise. I didn't shame your name. I didn't even saw. P-please father not.... not again please forgive me. I'm sorry I'm sorry please. I'm telling the truth father. I kept my promise" Aiden said clapping both hands together infront of Zack and tightly closing his eyes.

"Hey. Hey Aiden. What are you saying? Look at me see here look." Zack said while separating his hands and holding his chin so that younger can see him. His heart drop when he saw that other was crying and the cold sweat on his face was like he just took shower.

"Let me call Erica. Is it okay? You want to see her?" Zack asked brunette but the other didn't even nodded. On the other hand, Jonathan was standing there in a daze. He was unable to understand what was happening.

Did I do this?

He asked himself for the nth time. He was far sober then the condition he entered in this room. Zack tried a lot but younger was not even a bit close of relaxing. He left to call Erica.

Aiden's mind was not working. He felt like his mind is in whirlwind, everything was rotating. A very faint voice was echoing in his ears and he felt like someone held his arm and he lost it. He protested to let himself free. The only thing that was in his mind was the worst day of his life. The day he never wanted to remember. He pleaded to the one who was holding his arm to let go of his arm.

A very concerned voice entered his ears and he tried to see the face but the only thing he can see was darkness. Then he heard a name "ERICA" and wanted the person near him. He felt like she was the only one that can comfort him and give him the warmth that he needed at the moment but his body betrayed that he couldn't even move his head.

And suddenly he felt his arm free and felt like his body was also rotating in that tornado now. He can't see anything can't even hear more and then his feet left the ground and he stumbled forward and drown further in the dark hole.

Jonathan saw younger falling limp and ran fast and catch him letting younger's body falling in his arms. He placed younger on bed and Erica along with Jackson and Michael entered in the room. Jonathan left the room.

End of flashback.

With these question Jonathan slip to the dreamland.
