All Chapters of Taboo: Chapter 11 - Chapter 19

Fletcher opened his eyes to a white ceiling and he wasn’t surprised. He looked out of the window and it was dark outside. Like his inside. He could feel his head throbbing. His eyes swell and aching badly. But there was another feeling dominating every pain. It was numbness. He was empty inside. His mind had stopped processing to what was happening? What time it was? How long he was unconscious?Does it matter though? The door opened with a faint sound and Charles came in. "You are awake"? He smiled before pushing the bell button for Alex. He was in Giles’ Hospital. "Do you need water"? He asked softly but Fletcher shook his head. "Do you need juice"? Charles asked and Fletcher again shook a NO."Fletcher"!! Charles was about to say something when Alex came inside almost running. "How are you doing, Fletcher? Do you feel any pain or discomfort? Are you thirsty"? Alex was asking him while checking his vitals and he was just staring back. His eyes deprived emotions. As if he was

Zee took Fletcher to his bedroom and hugged him tight as soon as the door was shut locked. He peppered his face with kisses sobbing silently. Fletcher hugged him back. He could relate to his pain. He let him cry for once. He was standing in the middle of the room, holding him tight. He was waiting for him to relax before he let him go."You know how scared I was when you left us like that. Who leaves like this, Fletch? What if something had happened to you? You were just discharged from hospital, not strong enough to even stand. And you opted to leave, in the middle of the night, to the other corner of the city. Couldn’t you just tell me? If you wanted some alone time, I would have taken you there. But at least I wouldn't be worried. Two days Fletcher. Do you even realize how we all felt? Emery kept crying for two days. He didn’t eat anything. Alex had to give him medicines to sleep. And me? Have you thought about me? How would I have felt with your disappearance? I just had you a d

Charles and Ben left after having dinner. Though Fletcher insisted them to stay, Ben had to visit his parents in the morning, so they left for their place. Fletcher arranged the lounge in a presentable state. It would be the last night and tomorrow Emery and Alex would be home. He was thinking about them. And that made him realize he was missing them. But he was also happy for them. Emery told him they had so much fun and they loved the arrangements. And he was glad.He walked to the kitchen to see what was taking Zee so long. He was planning to watch a movie and then go to sleep. But... Zee was cleaning up the kitchen wearing only jeans. Yeah it was hot, but he could have turned the air con on. Still, he chose to remove his shirt. Like... seriously. Who works in the kitchen with a naked upper body? Fletcher felt his body heating up. His feet automatically dragged him to Zee who was bent on the counter, just to hug him tight. Zee smiled at his clingy brother..."Need anything my

Zee woke up with a faint noise of beep. He squinted his eyes tight before opening them. "Where am I"? He mumbled almost inaudible trying to sit but he was held back as Fletcher came in sight. "You are in hospital. And you need to stay in the bed". He was serious. More than worried, but tensed. Zee could feel it. "What happened, Fletcher"? He was confused, how come he end in hospital. Fletcher just raised his eye brow controlling himself. "We will talk about it later. For now take this juice. And let me call Alex". Fletcher helped him to sit and take juice and pressed the bell button. "Hey buddy. How you doing? Had a nice sleep? I guess I should be appointed as a family doctor for both of you. I am sure you guys can pay me hell better than this hospital". He was talking cheerfully. "Ohh. So we pay you less than what they can pay. Huh"? Charles entered the room with Emery and Ben. Alex faked a face palm. ."I think I lost the chance". Everyone laughed at his antics. Alex looked

"Alex, I am worried about Fletcher. He is so attached with Jagger". Emery was in deep thoughts standing in the window, when Alex approached him with a glass of hot chocolate. "I know Love. But he won’t listen to any of us". Alex back hugged him. He could relate what Emery was saying. Adoption was not an issue, as long as the child has no guardian or parents. But in this case. There was always a fear of losing the baby. And what if after a few years, when Jag would be so comfortable around Fletcher to think of him as his own father, and somebody comes to take him away. "It will cause him pain Alex". Emery turned in his arms facing him. He was upset."I know, Emery. But maybe we are scared for nothing. May be no one comes to claim Jag". He just held on a thin thread of hope. "I wish Alex. I wish. I can’t see him in pain. He can be strong on the outside. But he such a softie by heart. And kids... Kids are his weakness. Like I told, he cried over the fact for days that Zee wasn’t his b
