Thank God for letting me write this chapter. I am sorry for not updating but I am hypercritical of myself and what people think, so even though I have only gotten good reviews I am still afraid of failure. Warning I am now using the same opening for every chapter Please review. I love every review.
Start:
Draco was screaming. Only briefly, but it still caused him to worry over whether or not he woke his family. Before Draco could think about it however Chase knocked on his door very lightly and said "Can I come in?" Which had been the nightly routine for a few days now, Draco having a nightmare, Chase coming to talk with him about it, occasionally Omi would join in and help as well, and the same would happen occasionally when Omi had a nightmare. Draco and Omi were starting to become really close as brothers and friends. Draco and Chase were close as well. Chase would always come to comfort Draco about his nightmares no matter what the time was, sometimes staying awake hours longer than he should have to make sure Draco was okay. Tonight was different, tomorrow Draco would be going to a school dance even though it was the middle of the break. It would be the first time since he had been adopted and near raped that he would be seen by his piers. Draco didn't want to go but he knew he would have to face everyone eventually, and why wait?
Draco went to the door and let Chase in quietly and went back to his bed. Chase didn't bother with small talk and said in a gentle caring voice "What was it about this time Draco?" At first Draco would have been to scared from the nightmare to even open the door, let alone tell anyone what it was about.
Flashback:
Draco was cowering. In his nightmare Chase lost custody over him after beating him and Draco ended up back at this parents house who took extreme pleasure in torturing him. Chase had heard screaming but Omi was still knocked out from the thanksgiving feast and stayed fast asleep. Chase knocked and asked "Draco may I come in?" but Draco just couldn't answer. Chase let himself in and saw Draco, a fifteen year old boy cowering as though he had been tortured. Chase couldn't help but pick Draco up without thinking about it. Draco fought back with all his might but Chase just hugged him and let Draco cry himself away. When he was done Chase looked directly at an embarrassed Draco and asked in a soft gentle tone "What was your nightmare about Draco?" Draco eventually calmed down enough to tell him and by the end he was sobbing again "I will never hit you Draco, you are completely safe here. I know you won't believe it at first but eventually you will learn to trust me." Chase said in a reassuring tone. Draco just cried more and asked in between "How can I trust you? I am just a burden here!" This is what infuriated Chase, who put Draco up to his eye level and said in a fierce, loving tone "You are not a burden Draco Don't Ever Think Of Yourself As Such! You can trust me because I love you, and I always will." Draco calmed down at that and asked in a voice as though he though he was stepping on a bear trap "Really?". Chase just said "Always and forever Child, I swear on my honor. And if you still don't believe me I could offer to you the same thing I did Omi" "Which is?" Draco asked in a light cheered up curious tone. Chase looked at him and said "I offered you get him a "My father loves me T-shirt" if he doubted me in a way. Draco just laughed and that had been the end of that.
End of flashback
Draco lay back down in his bed in a room he had designed with Chase and Omi. Chase sat near by in a massage chair (Chase had put one in both Omi and Draco's room once Draco told Omi of one and they had both asked for one) as Draco said "It was different this time. Somehow everyone knew what my parents had tried to do to me or that you had taken me out of my home like you had. It wasn't really scary at first but with all the pressure I felt in the dream I just screamed! It was too much!" Chase looked at Draco and said "If that happens Draco then no one has to know what nearly happened to you or why it happened. If it happens you, Omi, and I will deal with it if it happens." That was it for the night besides the stories that Chase told Draco whenever Draco just wanted to talk (Of Chase's life when he was a kid and his families, as boring as it sounded Omi and Draco loved to hear about it).
Omi walked into Draco's room at that time and sat down at Draco's bed as Chase went on with his story. Omi had just came in because he loved to be with his family and especially hearing his father's stories. Omi was just barely staying awake so Draco picked Omi up and put him in his lap. Halfway through Draco had completely laid down and Omi had fallen asleep on his chest and by the end they were both asleep. Chase covered them up and went to bed shortly afterwards
There was only one problem. Someone lived in the neighborhood where Draco's parents lived and had seen Draco being carried out like a "little kid" as she had put it to her friends by professor Chase Young. She told her friends and those friends told those friends and eventually everyone in the school knew about it through the modern web. The happy family had no clue
