Jeff's POV

Now

It is Monday. I am in the choir room with my fellow warblers, practising for sectionals. Because it is Monday, we are only doing vocal training.

Nobody else seemed to care or notice that from Monday to Wednesday we are always just doing vocal training. We only dance in the last two days of the week. And even then there is one person who often just watches. Sebastian. No one knew why.

Except me, Sebastian's roommate. But Sebastian doesn't know that I know his secret. Or at least a part of it.

Seb disappears every Friday after Warbler practise and the first person who sees him again is me on Monday morning when we wake up. No one knows where he goes or what he does. Everyone just assumes.

On one Sunday I was still awake when Seb came back. I pretended to be asleep. Seb came in but didn't turn the light on, but my eyes were already used to the darkness so it didn't really bother me.

When Seb started to change I quickly closed my eyes, but I still saw a few red marks on his stomach. I knew the rumours and just assumed they were hickeys.

On the next Sunday, I was still awake again. When I saw Seb take his shirt off I wanted to close my eyes again but then I saw them: dark bruises and scars all over his upper body.

I only barely managed to keep my mouth shut. But after that night I stayed awake every Sunday to wait for Seb. Every time there were more scares and bruises.

Yesterday I watched him stitching himself up. It was not a very deep wound but it still needed stitches.

That was the reason Sebastian rarely danced.

"Jeff! Jeff! Come back to earth!" I suddenly heard Sebastian say. Right, I am still at Warbler practice.

" I know I look amazing but could you at least try to listen?" He said whit a roll of his eyes.

I didn't even notice that I was staring. Shit

" Yeah right. Sorry. Keep talking." I said. Seb rolled his eyes again but kept discussing the setlist with the others.

The New Directions wondered why Seb was still our captain. They really hated him. But what they didn't know was, while Seb kept mocking and being sarcastic and an asshole towards us, he did it with affection. Like when you mock your brother. And that is what we are: BROTHERS.

Sebastian is one of us, even if the New Directions can't see it.
