When I woke up it was about midnight and he was sleeping with his arms around me and I noticed that there were traces of tears on his cheeks. I woke him up and told him he should be getting home. He agreed. I left the room for a minute and when I came back he was sobbing uncontrollably. I hugged him and when asked if everything was ok, he shook his head, no. I asked what was wrong and got no reply. When I asked if something was wrong at home, he nodded his head slightly. Then he hugged me really tight. After while when he stopped crying enough to actually talk, he asked if he could stay with my family for awhile.How can I help him? Tears come to his eyes at the mention of his family. Please help!!

 Well I'd ask your parents first if he can stay with you a while, and be honest with them - say there is something going on at home and he's really unhappy, but he hasnt opened up about it yet.
Hopefully your parents will be ok with that, and you can let him stay with you. Eventually he will open up, but you just have to be patient and wait for him to be ready to talk about it.
Something is obviously very wrong, it must be pretty serious with him being so clearly upset. But you cant force him to talk about it, it seems very raw at the moment and too hard for him to discuss. Eventually he will calm down a bit, give it a few days or weeks and then try talking to him.
