Sebastian was sitting reading the newspaper. The Hanson Food Market takeover was all over the news. Journalists said it was a takeover made by the Hadsons' son-in-law, but most cited it as revenge hatched by Sebastian Jones in defense of his boyfriend, Theodore Hanson.Some even spoke of the breach of contract that led to such a decision.There was no illegality in the acquisition. The company wasn't big enough to be of public interest.As usual, Sebastian picks up the phone and calls Theo. The phone rings and Sebastian leans back on the couch, grinning broadly. But the phone rings, and rings, and rings, and Theo doesn't answer.The last time Theo stopped answering him, it was because of that crazy Akiko, but there hadn't been anything new that could have upset Theo.He continues to call, and when the phone disconnects at the end of the 5th attempt, Sebastian is really worried.He calls it William.- William, I'm sorry to bother you every time I worry about Theo.- Hello boy. It's not
- Mom, what were you doing at Theo's house?- Me? I didn't go anywhere. - Catherine responds to her son.- What do you mean you didn't go anywhere?- What did that boy tell you? You won't believe him above your mother, will you?- Mom, I just saw you on television entering Theo's building. Theo didn't say anything. Way wore you there?- Nothing, I told you. I just saw him. I was curious.- Mom. Don't fuck with me.- Language Sebastian.- Fuck the language. Answer me at once.- I don't accept that kind of language. - she says and hangs up the phone.Sebastian tries to call her back, but the phone is off. She was certainly going to make the old excuse of having run out of batteries.Sebastian was getting irritated. He had to talk to Theo. He takes the PC and sends an email to his secretary to postpone the next meetings, and packs to go to Cornell early.A figure jumps the wall that kept the apartment complex cut off from the rest of the city. He avoids the security guards without making
“The CEO of Salvato Inc, was admitted to New York Presbyterian Hospital-NY Weill Cornell Medical Center. Nothing is known about the state of health of Sebastian Jones, only that the police are investigating the accident as a possible assassination attempt. Two witnesses witnessed the accident. Let's see the report. Good evening, directly from the FDR Dr, where the ostentatious accident that put Sebastian Jones' life at risk took place. We have with us the couple who followed in the car behind the victim's car. Good evening, can you tell us what happened? Goodnight. We saw the car swerve several times, without braking, which led us to think that the brakes failed. Then he hit the guardrail with all his might, flew in the air, spun and fell into the water. You didn't see anything suspicious. Another car that hit him, nothing? No sir. He hit the guardrail himself. He was going too fast and I think he ran out of brakes. Thank you very much for your interview. We also have with us
William is at Theo's door at 7:20 am. He hadn't even taken a bath and had dressed in the first thing he'd picked up. He knocks on Theo's door, and hears nothing.He knocks on the door harder, not caring if he wakes up any students in the apartments next door.A shuffling noise is heard, and a few seconds later, Theo opens the door.What William sees in front of him makes him immediately realize that Theo already knew what had happened. In front of him was a boy who seemed to have aged 10 years, red and puffy eyes from which tears fell like rivers, a body that shuddered with each sob, a pajama that looked more like something out of a cat fight.When Theo looks at William, he drops to his knees.William did not open his mouth. He puts his hands under Theo's armpits and forces him off the ground. Closing the door, he drags Theo to the couch, sits down beside him and lets him fall against his chest, soaking his thin shirt.After a few minutes, W
- Hello, I'm Theodore Hanson, Sebastian's boyfriend.- I know - she says hugging him.- Hanna – Chaterine says, calling her daughter as she advances towards her, followed by the other 3.- Ignore my mother. She has no notion of the reality of life. - Hanna says, softly into Theo's ear.- Boy, Theodore, what are you doing here? - Chaterine coldly asks Theo.- Mom, if you don't have anything useful to say, keep quiet, says Hanna angrily.- Don't talk to me in that tone, girl.Theo doesn't answer, and returns to the position he had before.- He doesn't do anything here. He is not family. By the way, none of you are family - she says, stretching her finger and pointing to Alex, William and Nancy.Alex frowns and pulls on the straps for the first time in a long time.- Mrs. Jones, please close your clapper and sit down, if you don't want me to use my family's influence to stop you from entering the stores that yo
Theo wakes up in a hospital bed and doesn't remember how he got there. They had put an IV in his arm and let him rest. When straining his memory he remembers what the doctor said, his eyes filled with tears.Nancy opens the bedroom door slowly, so as not to wake Theo, and when she sees him sitting on the bed crying, she runs to hug him.- Theo, Sebastiam needs you strongly. If you stay in that state, he doesn't feel your strength pulling him back to life.- Nancy, I'm going to lose him. I just found him and I'm going to lose him.- He's not going anywhere. Stop crying - she says, grabbing him by the shoulders. - I'll call the doctor. You will rise up from this bed and you will be strong. For you and for him. I know that you are very young, but I also know that you are capable.Theo nods and Nancy leaves the room for a moment, returning with a nurse and the doctor.- How are you feeling boy? You scared me a lot. – the surgeon says.He decided to stay and assist Theo.- I'm fine - Theo
When William arrives the next morning, he's not surprised that Theo wanted to go to Cornell with him and Nancy.He says goodbye to Sebastian, and then says goodbye to Alex and Hanna, who promise to give them news as they get it.The return journey was made in silence, and when displeased, William left Theo at home, it was already lunch time.Theo goes up to the apartment, goes in and undresses. It goes underwater and begins to cry compulsively, releasing sobs and screams of pain and frustration. He sits on the floor and lets the hot water fall over him.After more time than he could imagine, he gets out of the shower and turns off the water. Without drying his body, he puts on some underwear and lies on his back on the bed looking at the ceiling.He hadn't slept the night before. He'd spent time watching Sebastian, but he hadn't gotten a shred of sleep.He stood in that position, illuminated by the sunlight that entered through the window, a
It had been 8 days since the accident and it was Friday night again. Alex sent a message every day, in the morning and at evening, informing him of Sebastian's status, which was always the same. Theo's answer was also always the same; silence. Alex knew that he had read the W******p messages because they appeared read. He also received news from William that Theo continued to go to school and training and then shut himself up at home, as if he were a zombie.They were both worried about him, but the only thing they could do was wait for Sebastian to wake up.Theo had come into the house as soon as school was over. Everyone who knew him thought he looked strange. The coach gave him a lecture because he thought he'd been eating badly and losing strength, including, in the next game, he was going to be on the bench. The only two friends he had couldn't get him to go out for a simple coffee. Nancy and William couldn't even get him to come over to the house to eat. He wasn't doing anything
