Chapter 6

Patrick woke up the next morning with Stefan holding him. How did he get there? Last thing he remembered was running out of the sitting room after talking with the district attorney. He needed to be by himself for a while. Patrick had been crying, not paying attention to where he was going. Next thing he knew, he was completely lost in the strange, huge mansion. He couldn’t even find the damn stairs. So he lay down on a pile of sheets in the laundry room, exhausted.

“Stefan?” he said, trying to wake him up. “Stefan, how did I get here?”

“Baby, are you okay?” Stefan asked, waking up.

“I’m fine. How did I get here?” he asked again. “Did someone find me?”

“Yeah, baby, it took us all hours, but Gabriel finally found you in the laundry room. Why did you hide from us?”

“I didn’t mean to, I swear,” he explained. “I just had to get out of the sitting room. I ran out of there crying. I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going. Next thing I knew, I was completely turned around. I couldn’t even find the stairs to figure out what floor I was on. I looked and looked for anyone, but finally I was too exhausted to move anymore. I figured someone eventually would come into the laundry room, so I lay down there.”

“You had us all so worried,” Stefan whispered against his head. “I was so afraid you had left me, or done something to yourself. I completely panicked. I was going out of my mind.”

“I’m so sorry, for everything,” he replied, starting to cry again.

“It’s okay, baby. You’re safe now,” Stefan said. “No more running off, okay? At least until you know the house better.”

“I promise,” he answered. “I just, I don’t know, I felt like I broke inside. I just couldn’t be there anymore.”

“I know, my love, I know.”

“I’m so stupid,” he whispered.

“Listen to me, Patrick,” Stefan said, his voice growing stern. He looked up to see the look on Stefan’s face. “I’ve never once lied to you, and I’m not about to start now. Not one person in my family, me included, thinks you’re stupid. Pritchard preyed on you. You were young, alone, in a bad spot, you just lost your mother, and no one would have known what to do in your place. You didn’t do this to yourself. That asshole did it to you, okay?”

“Really? Is that what everyone really thinks?”

“Yes, baby. No one thinks what happened was your fault. They feel horrible it happened to you. And I know you didn’t want everyone to know what happened, but after I couldn’t find you, I panicked. I had to tell my family, so they understood how important it was to find you. Please don’t be mad at me,” Stefan answered.

“I’m not mad,” he said, kissing Stefan. “With everything that’s happened, they needed to know. I’m just grateful I didn’t have to tell them. It hurts me to talk about it.”

“I know, baby.
