// Brad POV//

"Blue or Yellow" Miss Taylor asked

" Yellow is my happy color "

" yellow then"

" No..I don't feel happy..blue..I want blue"

" Blue is also an Happy color"

" It has a completely different meaning"

" Tell me then Brad ..what does the color blue mean" she asked folding my clothes into my human sized closet..

" Blue seeks peace and tranquility and promotes physical and mental relaxation. The color blue reduces stress and creates a sense of calmness, relaxation and order"

A genuine smile flashes on her face as she looks toward me..

" How are you feeling today... Are you having any pains"

" No miss Taylor I am not"

" Ok sweet child.?? Do you want me to prepare anything before I leave today, cause it's the weekend already and I'm not gonna be around till Monday , do you maybe want me to get anything for you"

" Unless you can get my dad to come spend the weekend with me.." I joked and chuckled but eased up quickly..

I saw the pity in her eyes and it made me feel uneasy yet I couldn't say anything, she was a great person and the only Friend I can talk to..I guess people I can talk to aren't that much..

My nanny miss Taylor, my therapist Dr.Hukk then my physicians. And my doctor's..

True fact is they're all grown up people, I had no friends my age , am not even sure half of the town know I existed..

Miss Taylor walks over to me so close I had to lean back a little, seeing the expression on my face she moves back and smiled

I sat on the edge of my bed while she puts everything in order , it was the weekend so that means I have to stay alone on weekends..

My dad has been gone for a month now, basically for his company...and when he comes around.. I'm showered with gifts and all sort of things that sometime I had to check the use of  it on Google..

" Well I guess am done here " she said holding the empty basket with a delightful smile..she was one of the people I loved being around with...

" Thank you miss Taylor" I smiled at her

She showed a concern look and somehow I felt she didn't want to go and leave me all alone..and I would very much appreciate that, but she's spend all week taking care of me and the only time she could look after herself was on weekends..I know I didn't like being alone it was scary and disturbing but I didn't want her to get sick taking care of a sick kid

I faked a smile

" Miss Taylor I'll be fine, I have everything to get me through two days ..now go home take care of yourself and come by Monday to take care of me.."

She chuckled

" Don't have to worry I'm a grown man"

She wiggled her eyebrows composing the amused smile on her face with her hands on her hips while the other holding the basket..

" I can take care of myself for two days .. thank you, I don't want you worrying about me..go home..and besides if you don't go home how will you get to tell me new drama's happening in your family..I wanna hear more about Carly.."

" Alright I'll leave..but you know where the emergency bottom is right??"

I raised a brow at her ?? really??

When they wired the whole house with red button signifying if I had an attack ..I should press it?? Literally I could count like 10 or more of them in my room?? Some I had to cover with paintings and some with books or anything else to hide it..

I'd like not to feel like a sick person in my room..

I smiled at her..

And before she left she smiled at me and blew a kiss at me  ..

she was gone..and I was left alone..house is big..white furniture's everywhere..the couch the room color the kitchen cabinets the rug you walked on..the tiles and more..

You look to your left it's all white and your right white indeed, curtains white and bed sheets white..

But that didn't matter it's not like I didn't like it I just felt alone , really alone..

I had been there when she exited the house and I had felt like leaving with her but everytime I touched the door , I felt my heart sting ..I felt my body burn , i felt short of breath and my chest tightened I felt like an alien on my own planet..

After an hour of being alone I felt really restless, I went over to laptop which was on my desk..I opened it and turned it on.(and also I'm super cute which I'd never acknowledged, and I had long hair...like really long that you could tie it all together and it had some curl's)

I had a friend online a girl , I never knew her name well cause she uses name like coldeyes# The girl in the stars , ocean eyes.. just smile love..

She never used her real name and we had been chatting for a long time.., she writes story and her stories are really amazing..

I was her personal mutual friend online, she trusts so much she would tell me everything about herself, her love life , things she never told anyone..I was her own personal diary ..and she is feisty, she loves changing the colors of her hair which looked amazing on her, we talked and talked, then chatted till our hands got sore well my hands got sore but it was ok .. talking to her made me happy feel comfortable , sometimes she would video call me ..and comment on how handsome I was that she was dying to meet me..

She was my only friend..I really liked , well mainly cause she was the only one I felt like talking to... though my doctor's say meeting more friends online can help my case.....

I checked online and to my disappointment she wasn't online..we haven't been chatting long so i didn't ask for her number well cause I'll can never bring myself to call her.. not cause of my illness I was really nervous cause she was really beautiful....

I just left a message

"Alone again at home..wanna talk"

I admit that was stupid but I had nothing more to say..that was it ..

//Archer POV//

I ran my hands through my hair, signed fustrated and tired, I was angry and sad..

The last thing I needed was to sweat myself thinking about my mom, but it already happened..I sat at the visiting room with my little sister Carly, a sweet blond hair adorable girl..I looked at her and she was sad , she had been crying since we got here I had to carry her and ease her up..I felt like crying but I couldn't I didn't want to..I had to be strong I told myself..

My mom had an accident on her way coming home from work, some drunk lunatic hit her with his bike ...I was ready to murder that idiot but he was already taken by the cops and my mom was admitted here..

It's been 3hrs now and we haven't heard from anyone..

After some minutes we were told she was gonna be ok, that there weren't any serious damage but some minor injuries that had to be treated carefully and she had to take a home rest for about a month..

We were finally allowed to go see her, I felt happy I told Carly and she couldn't wait to go see Mom, I had been in detention when the news arrived they let me go because of it..

We arrived at the room where our mom was being kept, it was a big room, other patients were lying on their own bed with a minimized space for each and everyone....

We walked to her she was awake thank Goodness , Carly left me and ran over to her, I walked carefully to her and sat by the chair on her side..she smiled at us..

" Mom..are you hurt" Carly asked with her little sweet concerned voice

" Of course not, mommy is really strong, "

" Will go home with us then"

" Of course I will, we can leave today"

" No you won't" I told her with a stern voice and a cold look in my eyes, I kept my emotions to myself..

" Archer.." my mom started but I cut her off

" You're not going anywhere..the doctor said you need bedrest  and you will get it" I told her with a harsh tone..

I knew my mom she wasn't going listen to me unless I was strict and threatened her..she was ready to go back to work this instant if she wasn't stopped..

Work!!! I snorted, what was so important about babysitting a sick boy instead of paying attention to her self..

" Archer.. sweet heart..,"

" Don't..I want you to shut up and take your rest... you're gonna take a bed rest for a month like the doctor said and nothing else.."

My mom straighten herself and sat upright..

" I can't..stay in bed for a month, and I can't even stay in bed for three days, I have a job ..."

I cut her off real fast

" Just cut it mom, look at your condition and you're still worried about your job, " I raised my voice...

" Calm down and keep your voice down"

She scolded me ,we were attracting attention..

" You're not going anywhere..I will tell Dad"

" Archer please"

I frowned at her facing anywhere but her face cause I might give into her ..

" Archer my job is important, it's life or death ok.."

I looked at her with a scowl and a cold gaze on my face..

Carly did nothing but watched..

" Why is it your job to look after a sick kid..what about his father, they think they can just dump his problems on you... whatever his issues are I don't care...it's not your problem, it's not mine either"

" I can't stay here" her voice deepen , she was getting mad and once she did she gets ugly and I give up when she does..but not this time I had to stay in control for the sake of her well being..

" You will stay here mother, I don't care if I hav to tie you down or drug you ..you aren't going anywhere..and damn me if I let you.."

I got up from my seat..

" Am calling dad and he's gonna come and when he does you know very well you have no option.."

" Archer.. Archer please..."

I didn't wait for her to finish I flung out of the room , so pissed..

I needed a walk, I need to clear my mind...my mom getting into an accident and she still wants to endanger herself by going to work...hell no

What was so important about the boy she took care of , he has a father who is freaking rich, his father could hire more people to take care of him why my mom.. they don't care about her health only theirs , I was so pissed and possibly very hungry cause my stomach was aching,...

After walking around the hospital surroundings I finally calmed down, I had called my father earlier and he told me he was coming to visit..

My mom knew better than to disobey his orders, we weren't as rich as those people she worked for but we were rich enough to get body guards to tie down my mom..one thing about my father he's overprotective, and once anyone in his family is an harm away he would do anything to keep that person safe....

I walked into the room to see Carly sleeping in my mom's arm..I walked over to her and sat down, and she woke up immidiately the minute I sat down...

The silent stood between us for some minutes but she broke it before I did..

" Archer..are you ok" her soft voice was very relaxing..

" I should be asking you that"

" I know you're worried about me but I promise I'm fine"

" Yeah I know.. that's exactly what I used to say to you if I didn't want to see the doctor"

" Listen to me darling..it's not only just about the job, it's about the boy ok.. he's really sick and if I stay away for too long.. he's going to....I don't even want to imagine what's going to happen"

I took a breath and signed

" Hey Mom" I said in the sweetest way possible

" Yes dear"

" He's sick "

" He is..""

" He has a father.."

" Yes there"

I chuckled with a grin in my face

" They're rich too"

" Yeah..why"

" He has everything he needs.. I'm very sure you're not needed ..his father is rich so he can hire other people to take care of him.."

" He'll panic he doesn't like being around people who he doesn't know"

" Mom" I said with a soft low voice

" Archer.."

" I don't care..what I know is you're not going anywhere, am going to take care of you, so what you can do now" I held her hand and smiled at her " is call his father and tell him to come get his sick dying hell of a son".

She dragged her hand away and frowned at me, I didn't care and that was the truth..

" I didn't teach you to be this heartless"

" You didn't have to, but like dad said if you love something you'd do anything to protect it..and by the way ..dad will be here tomorrow morning with your own personal guard.."

I went off to the other side and took Carly off her body then carried on my shoulder,

" We'll be back tommorow, it is the weekend after all" I said and walked away.....

I dropped Carly who was fast asleep in my arms on the backseat of the car, she was 4 years old I didn't want her in hospital..it's smells of blood and other things I could hardly identify..

I sat on my car and took a deep breath , even if I didn't care what happens to the sick boy, I couldn't help think what was gonna happen if no one is there taking care of him....I mean was his illness that serious...what was the name again..damn I forgot,

According to mum he hasn't stepped out of his house since he was a child,he was just 5yrs of age when his mother was shot in front of him, some believed that was reason for his problems...

Ah hell whatever it wasn't my business...mom was gonna call to inform his father anyway

I drove my car out of the parking lot and headed home..

// Archer //

" Ask her." I frowned at her ..but she was too persistent and completely ignored me like she always does

..

" Come on ask her " She kept on urging me and I felt completely annoyed at the fact that I was trying to concentrate on my chats.. Yet she kept shaking me

" Skylar cut it.. she's literally in front of you"

" I'm shy" she said with the most cute and appeasing smile as he pushes a strand of hair off her face to the back of her hair.. ..

That didn't work on me, I liked her as my best friend and no matter how cute and gorgeous she gets.. I'll still treat her like a bro..

" When have you ever gotten shy to ask my mom a question"

" It's not just an ordinary question and it's been a secret she hasn't told anyone..."

"Do it yourself, you want info for your paper..do it yourself"

" Why are you so cruel , Archer please.."

"Skylar sweetie No.. ask her if you want to.." I stood up and strolled over to my friends Jerry and Andrey ..my two best buds , we've all known each other since elementary school..

Jerry is a basketball player he also plays football.. he's tall , a sweetheart and all the ladies swirl around him no matter what where he goes..he had short black hair blue eyes and had cheekbones.. enough said about Jerry..

Andrey blonde long curls , an asshole like me, he played only football and participated on sports, they all did well when it came to looks..

Andrey was the face of the campus last year, he had nice structured body I know that cause he always takes off his clothes in the football field or when he's taking swimming class, he literally drags me everywhere he goes...

Making girls swool his name all around the field...

They were my two pals buddies ....

They were both focused on the TV in front of them..I glanced over at what they were watching..oh.. right no wonder they're so focused on the screen as if their life's depended on it....

It was that show called botched on E channel.. the show was just based on sugery, if you wanted bigger bums bigger tits , or rectify your ugly nose..

And right now they were showing a really fat lady with huge ass and tits..if you really wanted to you could sit on her ass..or place a can of beer in there, and according to what I was seeing she was asking for the doctor for more ass implant.. Which made my buds chuckle, according to the doctor if she had another implant with all her fat it could result terribly..

" Jerry " I heard may call..still focused on the TV in front of me..

" Jerry" The name rang louder..turned to jerry who was probably ignoring her..till a plastic water bottle hit his head...

Turning around he met Skylar furious eyes glaring intently at him...

His hand found a way to his hair rubbing it gently..

" still gonna ignore me"

" you physopath , that could have injured me"

" no worries there baby brother, we're in the hospital aren't we"

" What do you want"

" You know that favor you owe me.

" Uh"

" Last week, you were grounded..but yet you snuck out with my help, remember when I said if you succeed you owe me a favor"

" Hmm"

" Good , Now remember The sleeping Prince.."

" Oh God ..not that again"

" Go and ask"

" no way , even though miss Taylor is nice..she's scary"

" You owe me a favor.. And am asking for your help...are you gonna deny me"

I was confused as Andrey , we both exchanged dry looks while they talked...But somehow I had an idea what they were talking about... The sleeping Prince reminds me of the carton I once watched with Carly ..The Sleeping Princess..

Yet I couldn't fully remember what she meant by the Sleeping Prince, I know I've heard her say that name now and then..I couldn't just remember what it meant I felt I knew what they were talking about, it was at the tip of my tongue yet I couldn't reach...

" Fine.. If I die, I will hunt you down for the rest of your life" Jerry finally spoke in defeat.. He got up and walked over to my mom who was sitting going through a magazine..

" Guys what's going on" Andrey said looking at me who shrugged my shoulder , he went over to them and I followed..

I practically stood on her left and the others were on her right...

Carly had piano lessons every Saturday in the morning and it was nice in this case I didn't want her in an hospital,I could never get used to it..

My friends had surprised me when they showed up here this morning, The news spread faster than I thought it did..and I was thankfully they kept me company if they weren't here I'd be so bored....

I sat by the side of her bed which wasn't occupied with her body looking at the three of them..

Skylar was the most popular girl in school , she also writes the school paper and takes care of the school websites...

She swims and takes part in cheerleaders for the school sports..

She had nice long legs, light brown hair, she was skinny and she had nice body structure, she and jerry were siblings, she was older with a year both had blue eyes, we've had all been friends since anyone could remember.. And the four of us were a gang no one dare cross..

" Aunty" Jerry spoke up

" Told you to call me Taylor.. I'm still young"

" sorry.. Hmm..is it OK if I could ask a question"

Jerry nervously scratch the back of his head..

" OK"

" it's about the sleeping Prince"

" What.." she asked in confusion

" That's the code name idiot " Skylar whispered to him and gave him a spank in the head..

" Do that again and no favors"

" You owe me"

" If I go down you go down with me... so shut it and let me talk",

They whispered back and forth to each other..and it was loud enough for all of us to hear ...

Jerry turned back to my mom nervously and chuckled shyly..

" the question is about the boy you take care of.."

My mom smirked

" What about him"

He walks close to her and takes a light nervous breath, he places his hands on both her hands , she raised a brow..

" You are really pretty Miss Taylor...and your Job is so mysterious, you get more and more delightful everyday.."

My mom chuckled ..brows furrowed and clearly amused..

What does he think he's doing, is he trying to sweet talk my mom..

" To be honest... Everyone in this town including me is so curious about the person you risk your life to protect, even injured you still wanna go to him....The boy is a mystery.. And am so curious I could die of it..You're a wonderful person Taylor.., "

She chuckled lightly..

" You're such an adorable kid but that is something I can't disclose.. OK.."

" But miss Taylor, that's what you've always said, can't you at lease bend the rules for a sweet heart like me, I promise I won't tell"

" Jerry..I really am sorry but I can't tell"

" Not even a tiny piece of information"

" Not even a tiny piece"

" What's so special about the boy anyway, he's suddenly so famous because he hasn't stepped out of his house for like 8, 9 Years.."Audrey said with a snort...

Skylar gave him a dey look but he looked away

" How does he even cope not being outside" Skylar asked

" Does he like have a disease that could spread, is that why he's always locked in with doctors who go treat him" Jerry Asked

Now it all seems they were asking bunch of questions or more like telling theories of their so called sleeping prince

" School had all these different version of stories concerning him, like this douchbag came up with a story that the bullet that went through his mom had pierced through his skull now he's so ugly he refused to come out of his kingdom"

" That version is pretty the lamest I've ever heard"

" There's also this story that says he has a skin disease, and if anyone was to touch him they would die in three days"

" Crazy version of the sleeping prince in castle"

" But I'm really curious about him, he's just like a prince in a fancy castle who is waiting for someone to save him, a girl ,a boy ,a creature, anything.. And a story like that would be so nice, I really wouldn't know how he's feeling.. He doesn't have any friends, he's always alone.."

" Any information I can get on him can make me lots of cash

"I want to know what he looks like, even if its just a tiny glance "

She took her hand away from Jerry, takes her magazine and focuses on it..

I shot him a glare which he avoided as fast as it went..he walks over to the chair and sits in defect..

How do you sweet talk a married woman..

" Is it true you're gonna lose your job.." Skylar steps close to her and ask, which turned her attention to Skylar..

" sorry"

" You're going to lose your job..is it true..You're injured and he has no else to take care of him"

My mom signed sadly eyes still on the magazine, her smile was no longer there..it was just an empty blank face with no sigh of happiness..

" Don't ask about her job" I interjected

" Let her speak" Skylar voice was fiesty , her attention fell on my mom who answered

" Probably I will if I can't contact his father on time"

"But you don't want that right , you still want to be able to take care of him.."

" of course I do"

" Can't he stay alone"

" No he can't"

" Well truth is.. you can't leave the hospital without having a full recovery.."

" What's your point"

" Why can't Archer just go instead of you.."

What!! , My brain rang in ding dongs
