Chapter Sixteen
When Sam walked back into the cabin, he saw the brothers gripping each other hard and heard Justinâs soft words, âI only have one more person to kill, and then Iâm done.â
His steps faltered momentarily. He didnât know what the hell was going on in Justinâs head, but the man was screwed up, big time. Heâd hoped Gabe would go in and see if they were okay, only Gabe was in shock. Heâd slumped to the ground behind the cabin and hadnât moved or spoken since theyâd walked out.
âIs everything okay?â Sam asked.
Justin didnât look over but hunched in on himself, pressing one hand at his temple, gripping Ethanâs shirt hard with the other. Sam had nearly got up to them when Justinâs eyes rolled back in his head and he crumpled in Ethanâs arms.
Ethan half carried, half dragged Justin to the bed, arranged the sheet over him, and sat on the chair at one side, bending at the waist and cradling his face in his hands. âJustin? Can you hear me?â
Sam stood uncertainly. Maybe he should leave, but then what? Justin was facing him, his eyes closed, his features scrunched up in painânot unconscious, but clearly close to it. He moved, rolled onto his front with a grunt, and then he lay still.
Ethan was absolutely still too, staring down at Justin with horror on his face.
âEthan?â Sam moved in front of him, but there was no focus there. âEthan? Do you want me to get someone? Get Aaron back?â
Ethan didnât seem to hear him, and Sam wasnât sure if he should repeat what heâd said, stand there like an idiot, or backpedal out of the cabin.
The last option wasnât one he wanted to do. Justin looked like death, and Ethan appeared utterly broken.
âI could find Adam,â Sam suggested helpfully.
Adam and Ethan were the kind of couple Sam aspired to be a part of one day: solid, strong, forever. Much like Nate and Jay, who were disgustingly together in a completely perfect kind of way.
Still no answer.
âOr your dad? Or Nate?â
Sam was fishing for a response. Half of him was looking to get a reaction from the silent, sleeping, maybe unconscious Justin.
Ethan finally looked up; his skin was ashen, his eyes red. âI donât know. I canât tell you, he just said someone wants to kill him. Heâs scared, I think.â
Fuck. Ethan was in shock. Gabe was sitting unmoving on the ground outside, and Justin was possibly unconscious. That just left Sam.
I have to be the one to deal with this.
Fuck. My. Life.
So he did the only thing that felt right. He phoned Adam and told him to bring Marcus to the cabin. Because all this pussyfooting around wasnât solving anything. Then he called Aaron, hoping to hell the paramedic wouldnât turn around and tell him to fuck off.
Who knew Justin was there? Who didnât know? It wasnât school, it was real life, and secrets festered and became sores that never healed.
Through it all, Ethan didnât move, just stared
