Waking up Lou was slightly surprised that they had arrived at the place, although Lou felt a bit sick.

“Thank god you are awake Lou!” Luke stated with tears in his eyes.

“Why wouldn’t I wake?” Lou sated as he sat up fully. “So where are we?”

“Let leave introductions for later, let’s get you inside!” Luke stated after he got out and picked Lou up, carrying him towards the entrance.

Looking back Lou saw that Koby was sitting in the driver’s seat, staring blankly into the distance.

“Think Koby might need assistance!”

“I’ll get to him once you are taken care of, don’t want to scare my brother more, would I?”

“No you wouldn’t” Lou replied as the front door opened and they were greeted by his father’s butler.

Being handed over quickly Lou was rushed inside, upstairs and passes many different hallways and doors before they entered a room. Once placed onto a bed Lou was surrounded by may different people, all dressed in hospital wear. Having a mask placed over his mouth Lou tried to pull away as everything was becoming too much. With the extra pressure of the mask being held over his mouth, he fell into an uncomfortable sleep, scared of what was happening. Coming to there was a light shining over his eyes before a head blocked most of the light, it was his father’s butler.

“Just rest now, young master, you’ll be fine now!”

Realising that his father’s butler was holding a mask over his mouth and noise, Lou allowed it to do its job as he drifted off again, hopeful this time. Waking up Lou sat up to see that he was inside a bedroom instead of a nurse or hospital room. The roof had what appeared to be glow in the dark stars and planets. There was a single door closet, a small bookcase, old television on a stand and a desktop fan sitting beside a small lamp. Looking over the side of the bed, the carpet appears to be one of the rough-feeling one. The bed was average comfort with two thick blankets covering him. Pulling the blankets off Lou placed himself into a sitting position. Carefully Lou tried to stand but his legs began to shake immediately before Lou sat down quickly before his legs gave out. ‘Guess I just have to wait till someone comes. Maybe my father’s butler so I can ask him about my parents and if they are actually dead’ Lou thought as a sinking feeling of worry begun to grow. Pulling himself back onto the bed Lou roughly covered himself up as he waited and waited for someone to come. After what felt like an hour Lou begun to think no one would come when the door burst open and a child fell in, face first onto the ground. ‘What the fuck’ Lou thought as he stared at the child.

“Ummm...are you ok?’” Lou asked, slightly concerned.

The child suddenly sponged up to their feet before racing to the back of the bed. The only parts of the child that could be seen was the top of their head and hands. The child than ran to the side of the bed and just stared at him.

Lou couldn’t tell how old the kid was. They had long, straight dark brown hair covering most of the kid’s face. It appeared that the kid was wearing what appeared to be fluffy dark grey shorts with a golden rope around their waist and a dirty white singlet. Leaning back Lou decided it was best to keep his distance, but he was still grateful that he wasn’t alone. The kid held out his small hands before jumping and grabbing Lou’s arm that was close. Landing on his face, Lou looked up to see that the kid was close. They oddly smelt of olive oil.

“Hi!” Lou stated quietly.

The next thing Lou knew the kid was screaming to the high heavens. Lou tried to pull back, but the kid’s grip was strong, or Lou was just weaker than he thought. Hearing the loud sound of footsteps running in their direction, the kid finally stopped screaming. Barely getting a glimpse of the door Lou saw a bunch of people run in. This includes Koby, Luke, Samson, his father’s butler and those two. With them came two young girls who raced over and wacked the kid over their head.

“Young master you are finally awake. How are you?”

“I’m fine!” Lou stated, being unable to hide his annoyance that those two thought they could have the right to be there. Feeling a tap on his forehead Lou felt himself calm down as he looked at the kids,

“So who are you three?” Lou tried to ask as friendly as possible, not really spoken to kids often.

Catching a smile from one of the girls, they all ran around and out of the room.

“Young master there is no reason for you to be annoyed!” his father’s butler stated in a caring voice. “We won’t be moving a lot anymore and there won’t be any more stress!”

Behind them appeared an old lady wearing a black dress and hat, it reminded Lou of funeral wear.

“Its best to get the checkup over now so that the young sir can rest!”

When Lou saw that the nurse was making her way towards him, he couldn’t take it anymore.

“You are not fucking touching me!” Lou yelled at her.

When the nurse begun to slow down Lou caught sight of Rose moving towards him pissed. Rose raised her hand and way about to slap him when his father’s butler appeared and grabbed her arm roughly.

“What do you think you are doing, Rose?” his father’s butler stated with acid in his voice.

Lou couldn’t help a grin appear on his face. ‘Didn’t the others tell him how useless those two were’ Lou thought.

“Young master, that was an unacceptable outburst, you should have been taught better!”

“Didn’t they tell you how those two basically useless and caused me to get worse!” Lou responded, struggling to hide the venom in his voice.

“Explain!” his father’s butter stated, looking coldly at the others.

“I’ll explain it simply” Luke stated with a sign. “Those two didn’t did their job at all. Rose allowed my mentally unwell sister to take him into the hospital before causing him harm while Rose just stared at me and my brother while we were discussing things. The nurse left to get water. They got into a fight because Lou didn’t want to deal with them not properly caring for him, almost caused him to leave him behind on the road, and more importantly ignored Samson when he told them Lou need to take his meds and get look at because he appeared to get worse. Well after that you know what happened!”

“You two leave this room immediately and wait in my office!” his father’s butler demanded.

“But...but...b” Rose stammered before she stopped and left, most likely from the pissed off look on the old lady’s face.

“Now lets introduce ourselves, shall we?” the old lady stated. “I go by the name Miss Tamworth, now you, my boy!”

“I am known as Lou!”

“Ok Lou for now on you are in the custody of my organisation until things have been sorted out!”

“So my parents are dead?” Lou blunted out.

Seeing the horrified look on Miss Tamworth’s face, Lou couldn’t help but feel like it was true.

“Young master, who told you that?” his father’s butler asked kindly.

“Just tell me if its true or not!” Lou stated. “Sir I have the full right to know the truth!”

“Young master, its true that your parents have died from an illness!” his father’s butler spoke with sadness. “I wanted to wait until you were more stable!”

“Who told you?” Miss Tamworth asked as kindly as possible.

“Rose told him!” Koby stated quickly before an awkward silence begun to grow.

“Its best that you rest now, tomorrow you will be allowed to leave your room!”

“Fine!” Lou muttered as he laid down and stared at the wall.

Lou was confused on how he was supposed to act or feel after the news were confirmed. ‘Am I supposed to cry or something?’ Lou thought as his mind started to feel numb. Closing his eyes, Lou listened as the door carefully closed with a click and the sound of footsteps moving away. Once Lou was sure that they were gone, Lou carefully sat up. Dragging himself to the bedside Lou tried to stand again but instead of landing on the bed his legs collapsed, and he fell heavily onto his hands and knees. Lying on his side Lou started to take deep breaths as his chest begun to hurt. Feeling tears form Lou covered his eyes as he begun to cry deeply.

“What the fuck did they die!” Lou muttered to himself again and again before screaming out of pain, hatred, and frustration.

Lou laid there crying until he couldn’t anymore, no tears form, and his throat was hurting. Calming down Lou fell into a deep, unsettling sleep as trouble thoughts swelled throughout his head.
