Nurse: who did this to him? he needs to be punished.
Jordan holding in his fury: his ex
Harley was still holding Jon close
Jordan: he was arrested at the time of my brother's rescue...the son of a bitch had the nerve to kidnap him
Harley: can I take him home, or does he have to stay?
Jordan can't take it anymore and walks out the room, kneels in front of some chairs covering his face and he just bawls
The nurse: I prefer if he stays because we need to do some x-rays to see if there is no internal damages done due to the bruising
Jon: Nooooooo I don't want to stay, baby please take me home
The nurse to Jon: okay sir I'm gonna have to ask you to calm down...need I remind you, you're in a hospital
Harley to Jon: baby I'm sorry love I really am but you need to get this checked out, we'll be out of here soon I promise, very soon
He thought the nurse was a bit rude, he's been through hell
Harley: baby I'll stay with you, I'm not going to leave your side
They do the x-rays and give him an appointment to review the results
Jon: can we go home now babe?
Harley: yes love now we go home finally I'm sorry I know that was torture baby but they had to do it
Jon cuddled up to Harley, they had to wait to get papers signed for his release. Harley signs the paperwork and after goes to Marlene and Jordan to let them know they're just about ready to go home
Jordan was still very upset: How is he Harley?
Harley to Jordan: JK can you please keep an eye out on my babe for me for just a bit? I need to talk to mom for a minute...we'll be there real soon
Jordan: sure bro, are you gonna tell her?
Harley: yeah but I gotta figure out how to first
Jordan nodded and went to see his brother
Harley takes a deep breathe...to himself: here goes nothing (trying to be strong for her sake) mom
Marlene: what is it baby? It's okay. You can tell me
Harley: I don't know how to tell you this (starts to get emotionally weak...his voice quivers a bit) oh god mom how do I tell you?
Marlene: what is it baby? out with it please, just tell me already
Harley: okay here goes mom. That bastard raped Jon, they had to do a rape kit
Marlene: what? that's not true
Harley: Yeah he raped my baby
Marlene: impossible, it can't be (starts to "break") not my son...no not my angel
Harley: I'm so sorry mom, I can't believe it either. He has rectal damage
Marlene breaks down even more: noooooo, not my baby, why? not my son...God no not my son!
Harley was crying. And consoling her. Harley explains everything that the nurse told him the best he possibly can: the nurse had to get evidence so she scraped his insides to get it, he's bruised inside too and she also took x-rays of his other bruises to see if there was any internal injuries
Marlene covers her ears: stop! please stop...where is he? I wanna see him, take me to him
Harley: he's in the exam room 4
Marlene runs to the room to be by his side...crying uncontrollably. Harley following her, he needed to be with Jon. Moments later they go home and settle Jon in
Jon: baby please don't leave the room...don't leave me
Harley: no baby I'm not going anywhere, you rest I'll be right here when you wake up we'll go outside to get some fresh air and walk a little bit
Jon kissed him: I love you
Harley: I love you so much more baby
Jon fell asleep within seconds...Harley looks for something quiet to do while Jon sleeps. He plays games on his phone
Jordan goes to the the room: hey Harley how is he? I can take care of him so you can catch a break, go eat something
Harley: I don't know if I want to leave him, what if he wakes up and panics if he doesn't see me?
Jordan: I'll tell him where you are, I can call you if he needs you
Harley thought about it: okay I'm just going to be in the kitchen
Jordan: yeah go eat something I haven't seen you eat anything in days
Jordan keeps Jon company while he sleeps and Harley takes a break to eat...Harley goes into the kitchen and asks Marlene if he can get something to eat
Marlene: baby you can get anything you like this is your house love
Harley hugged her: thank you mom. (He smiled)
She corresponds: baby when you need or want something just get it you don't need to ask...okay?
Harley nods: okay, I guess I just feel that you're upset with me for some reason
Marlene: no love I'm not upset with you, I'm upset with myself for not seeing this coming
Harley: mom it isn't your fault, blame Alex for this, he did this to Jon. He hurt him. If anything it's my fault for not protecting him
Marlene: why would it be your fault? baby of course it's not your fault, you did the best you could, you always care and protect him any way you possibly can
Harley broke down: no, I should've protected him better, he's my husband and that's my job
Marlene: no baby (hugs him to console him) you did all you could, we all tried
Harley: he's my baby
Marlene: and my son
Harley: I know, I'm sorry.
Marlene: come on baby let's go for some fresh air
Harley: okay. I think I need that. I just don't want to leave Jon asleep, even though he's with Jordan
Marlene: it'll do us some good to step out a bit...if he's with Jordan he's fine
Harley nodded: okay
Marlene and Harley go for a walk...Jon wakes up but doesn't do anything just lays there looking at the ceiling
Jordan: hey bro you okay?
Jon: yeah (not sounding very convincing)
Jordan: why don't I believe you?
Jon: I don't know (He turns to Jordan) where is my husband?
Jordan: with mom he'll be back real soon bud
Jon: could you please call him, I want him
Jordan: alright (calls Harley)
Harley answers his phone when he sees Jordan's name: hey bud, what's up, is my love okay?
Jordan to Harley: Jon just woke a few seconds ago and is wondering where you are cause he wants you...I don't know what he's doing, just staring at the ceiling
Harley to Marlene: mom we gotta go back Jon woke up he needs me
Marlene: oh hon, is he okay?
Harley: Jordan said he's not doing anything just laying there looking at the ceiling (runs to the house)
Harley runs into the room: baby you okay?
Harley curls up on him...Jon enters what they call the quiet stage hardly saying anything...Tears are running down his cheeks, but he isn't sobbing...Harley just holds him close and kisses the top of his head. Marlene calls his dr and asks a lot of questions after she explains his situation...Jon doesn't talk much for days. 4 days go by...Jon is a bit more active but still less talkative. Harley is worried about him, he talks to Jordan about it
Jordan to Harley: what's up bud?
Harley: I'm very worried about Jon he doesn't talk much these days
Jordan: well from what mom told me the dr told her is that it's normal to go through that phase after a traumatic situation like the one he went through
Harley: my poor baby, I want to kill that son of a bitch, WHY DID HE DO THIS TO HIM IT SHOULD'VE BEEN ME!
Jordan: you, me and all of us do...I wish I knew where he was I would do it right now…. that fucker needs to pay
Harley: THAT BASTARD WILL PAY ALRIGHT, I'LL FUCKING KILL HIM WITH MY BARE HANDS! HE RAPED MY BABY, JON COULD'VE BEEN KILLED.
Jon in the living room staring at a blank screen. Harley goes to sit next to him and doesn't say a word
Jon: are you doing anything today?
Harley: nothing love, how are you feeling baby?
Jon: alright I guess
Jon gets Harley's hand in his and laces his fingers through his
Harley: what do you want to do today?
Jon: I don't know babe.
Harley gets up still holding Jon's hand: come on babe let's go for a ride we haven't gone for one in a while (Kneels in front of him) baby you need to talk a bit more my love everyone misses your sweet voice, I miss your sweet voice
Jon: baby, please help me, I can't do it alone, this is hard, I don't know what to feel, I'm numb, HE DID THIS TO ME! and I have to find a way back
Harley: baby I know this is hard but you have to try you have to put a bit of an effort...I'll get him for what he did to you, I swear it...hey let's go visit Alma you love going there...hmm
Jon: baby I need your help though (He gets up slowly)
Harley: and you've got it baby I swear, we can do this, we can get back up again
Jon hugged him, cried for a bit: I love you and I never needed you like I do now
Harley corresponds: you'll always have me just like it's always been
Harley to Marlene: mom, we're gonna go see Alma we'll be back in a while
Marlene: okay my babies, have fun you two
Harley takes him to see Alma at the restaurant
Alma is so happy to see them: Jon, hi sugar, how are you? (hugs him tight but lovingly)
Jon: I'm alright I guess
Harley: he's getting a bit better
A week later
Jon: bae I wanna move
Harley: where to love? I'll go anywhere, as long I have you by my side
Jon: I was thinking Cali
Harley: really? are you serious? (he was happy)
Jon: I wanna get as far away from here as possible I don't want to be here anymore
Harley: baby, your family is here.
Jon: besides your nephew is over there, I don't know how much fun of an uncle I will be but I can at least try I want to go far away I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE
Harley: he's our nephew. babe. okay we'll move away from here
Jordan walks in on them: what? why are you going away?
Jon turns to Jordan
Jordan to Jon: bud you've been doing so good lately, you've bounced back real good, why do you wanna leave? don't go
Jon: bro, it happened here, I was raped and tortured by the hands of that bastard, I can't stay here, I'll miss all of you. especially you and mom
Jordan a bit heartbroken: okay if that's really what you want (leaves the room to let them have their moment)
Harley felt a little bad for Jordan: go to talk to him baby, he's gonna miss you
Jon: yeah I should (leaves the half packed suitcase and goes to talk to Jordan) bro?
Jordan: hey what's up?
Jon: look I'm sorry I didn't mean to come out like a total jackass
Jordan: hey bro no need to apologize, I totally get it
Jon: you know you and mom are my everything and I owe you my life for every single thing you guys have done for me but I just need a fresh start...it's best if I just start a new chapter with my boo and that way you and mom can live your lives again...I love my home I really do but so much shit happened that I just want to forget. Once boo and I are settled in I'll send you guys tickets and you can come stay with us as long as you'd like I swear
Jordan: I do understand, you and Harley deserve a better life, a new life. You went through hell here, and I'm so sorry that happened to you bro, I hated it but I am gonna miss you so much
Jon: I'm gonna miss you too, like crazy it's gonna kill me having to leave you here with all these bad memories it scares the shit out of me...but I gotta get out of here
Jordan: of course I'm gonna stay with you, try and stop me
Jon laughs again for the first time...something he hasn't been able to do in months: good!
Harley came in and saw them talking and he smiled
Jon: because if you don't imma come get you
Jordan hugged him so tight: I love you bro. You're the best
Jon sees Harley: oh, I'm coming bae
Jon corresponds to Jordan's hug the same way: there's only one thing I'm gonna ask from you though bro, alright?...keep mom and yourself safe...if you should ever run into any problems you have my number and you can call me anytime.
Jordan: of course, but I don't want you in any harm, I would hate for you to get hurt again, it Damn near killed me that you got hurt so bad
Jon: you have no clue how eternally grateful I am for all the help you've given me...you put your lives on hold...you, mom, D, Danny, my babe, I owe every single one of you guys my life
Jordan: I do know and I was so incredibly happy to be there for you. I'd do anything for you bro
Jon without hesitation: so would I...even if it meant going through this shit again
Jordan: hey we did that cause we all love you so much I would never want you to go through that, EVER AGAIN
Jon: if it meant keeping you safe, yeah I so would
Jordan: NO FUCKING WAY BRO
Marlene pops out after listening to the entire conversation: I don't want you to go
Jon: I know mom, but I have to. I'll miss you guys so much but I have to get
Marlene: you guys can start a new life here another town, another county,...I don't want you to be by yourselves (goes to Harley for help) beg him to stay
Jon: please understand, I have to do this, Harley and I have to do this. You can come visit anytime
Marlene: he listens to you, beg him to stay, please
Harley: he's been through hell, maybe this is a great start. I'm so sorry mom. I will miss all of you
Marlene: what? you're just giving in?
Jon: mom, please? This is hard enough as it is
Marlene: after all that you've been through
Jordan: mom I know it hurts it kills me too but they have to do this...I get it
Harley didn't know what to say...Jon throws himself on the floor and starts crying feeling guilty for breaking his mom's heart
Marlene looks at Jordan: oh okay so you're against me too...beautiful, okay then have a happy life (goes for a walk...she's visibly upset because she's not ready to let go yet)
Harley: mom I love Jon and because of that I'm supporting him
Jon: I'll go talk to her
Jordan: don't you guys worry about getting a fresh start I'll deal with mom, go live your lives...Jon no I'll do it
Jon: are you sure?
Jordan: positive I can handle it, it's just that...we're not really quite ready to let go yet
Jon: I know you're not
Harley got Jon's hand: come on baby, let's go finish packing
Jon composes himself and goes by Harley's had back to their room to finish packing
Marlene had been crying
Jordan: mom? you know deep down inside they're right...I want them to stay just as bad as you do TRUST ME but they have to move on they have to keep living
Jon: mom please don't be mad at us?
They said their goodbyes. Alma comes to visit
Jordan to Alma: mommy Alma will you please stay with mom till I come back I have to take Jon and Harley to the airport
Alma: where are they going?
Jordan: California
Alma: but why? No they can't go. Why are they leaving? Jon's not ready
Jordan: oh no! Please don't do this too...I gotta go Alma I'll explain when I get back (Jordan helps Jon and Harley with their bags and takes them to the airport...on the way to the there)
Jordan asks: how you guys holding up?
Jon was quiet then he freaked out when they passed some of the places Alex was taking him to
Harley: babe it's okay, it's alright love we're almost out of here (puts his iPod on Jon) here listen to music
Jon: GET ME OUT OF HERE BABE! PLEASE?
Harley: baby just relax we're there, close your eyes don't look at anything listen to the music...alright? I'm right here
Jon screamed at the top of his lungs: BABE PLEASE? NOOOOOO! (He was really freaking out)
Jordan focusing on the road but keeping a close eye on Jon...takes back roads to calm Jon down even though they may arrive just in the nick of time for them to board the plane
Jordan: should I stop?
Harley: no keep going
Jordan: alright. Jon it's okay bro
Harley to Jon: baby look see no more bad places to look at just the trees look at how pretty
Jon: baby I just want out of here (He just cried)
Harley: see bae its okay its all gone (rubbing Jon's chest) all gone...we're leaving that's exactly what we're doing love I promise you we'll be out of here soon
Jon slowly put his head on Harley's shoulder
Harley caresses his face: that's it love one step at a time..see that's it you're doing great
Jon: love you
Harley: I love you so much more
Jordan: I don't mean to interrupt but we barely made it you guys
Jon seemed calm now...Jordan parks the car and starts taking suitcases out as fast as he can. Harley took their bags and Jordan helped him. Jordan passes past the metal detector this time to make sure Jon's okay and waits for them to board and a signal from Harley that Jon's okay...They board the plane and Jon settles down, he leans on Harley.
Harley sends Jordan a text: we're doing good he's calm...I'm sorry for the scare didn't know that was gonna happen, we'll miss you I'll call you as soon as we land...I promise, tell mom to forgive me please
Jordan sends a text back: it's okay bro, no problem, I understand but I'm glad he's okay now. Have a safe flight, I'll miss you both
Since they were instructed to turn off their cell phones Harley did right after he read the message
Jon: are we going home now?
Harley: yes baby, we're going home now
Jon: good I wanna go home
Harley: I know you do baby. We'll be there soon love
Leyla super excited that her boys are moving back gets the house ready for a party...little did she know they went straight to the house they just recently purchased...Harley got the bags out of the car they rented at the car rental company at the airport
Harley: we're a little closer to getting home finally (Harley remembered what happened on their way to the airport and since he's in no rush because they're already in Cali he takes the back roads...bluetooth in place he calls Jordan)
Harley: hey bro we're here, heading home.
Jordan: hey bro! oh good I'm so glad to hear that I'm sure starting to miss you though
Harley felt some tears well up: awe bro we miss you too. Remember once we're settled in you're gonna come visit
Jordan: how's my bro?
Harley: he's doing well looking out the window at the trees...took the back roads
Jordan: that's good, tell him I say hi, I miss him and love him
Harley: I sure will
They talked for another 10 minutes then Harley hung up with Jordan. They just turned on their street
Harley: a few more minutes bae and we're home
Jon turned to Harley: okay, I'm tired, I want to lie down when we get there
Harley: oh yeah bae we'll do just that
They get to the house: honey we're home (Harley parks the car and unloads) go lie down bae (gives him the keys)
Jon: this is our house? It's beautiful babe (goes inside the house)
Harley: yup all ours my love (goes inside with him with luggage in hands) awww finally home sweet home
Jon went upstairs to see their bedroom: babe! Come here
Harley smiles: coming love (goes upstairs) what?
Jon was in their room: look at this room, it's huge baby
Harley: hot huh?
Jon nodded: oh yeah, Damn the bathroom is so big
Harley: that's so we can have some fun in there when we're comfy
Jon grew quiet: I'm not ready for intimacy yet babe.
Harley: I know bae I'm sorry I'm always gonna be here for whenever you feel ready
Jon: I will be, it's just going to take some time and I know you'll be here. I'm sorry babe (Jon started crying)
Harley: no love please don't cry it's okay (hugs him) you take your time love I know it's a slow process
Jon: can we just lay in bed and cuddle. I just want to kiss you and I need you to hold me
Harley: let me lock up and I'll be back so we can do whatever you want
Jon lay in bed waiting for Harley. Harley locks up the house and runs upstairs
Harley: oh you're there already (lays beside him)
Jon cuddles up to him, he lay his head on Harleys chest...Harley enjoys the moment but allows
Jon be the one to call the shots
Jon kisses him, and caresses his chest: this feels so good baby, being with you like this (Harley corresponds with every move Jon makes)
Harley: it feels real good bae, take me
Jon: what? What do you mean?
Harley: do whatever you want with me
Jon: I want to make love to you, but I'm not sure if I can.
Harley: what do you feel? go with what you feel bae
Jon kissed him a little more passionately but a little slow at the same time. Harley enjoys every blissful moment
Jon gets on top of Harley, starts kissing his chest and then his lips: I want to be inside you baby
Harley: go for it
Jon prepared Harley then kissed him, then slowly entered his husband
Harley: oh wow!
Jon smiled: this feels so good baby, I love being inside you, moving inside you.
They kissed more
Harley: how I missed that smile
They make love till they fall asleep. They wake up the next morning a bit early. Jon wakes up first and watches Harley sleep...Jon gently caresses his face
Jon whispers in his ear: god I love you so much baby
Harley slowly wakes up: I love you so much more
Jon leans in for a kiss: last night was so wonderful
Harley corresponds: it was amazing
Harley turns to look at Jon: how are you feeling love?
Jon: I'm fine baby, I think I needed to be close to you
Harley: that makes me so happy to hear you say that (Leyla calls) it's my mom
Jon Takes his cell phone: forgive me mom (declines the call) my babe is busy at the moment
(puts it in the cabinet at the night table)
Harley: baby! What are you doing? (Harley giggles)
Jon: you're busy...with me
Harley: baby! What am I busy doing?
Jon: helping me, build myself back up
Harley: with what love? huh?
Jon: I'll call her later and tell her we're at the gym
Harley: what are you getting at? (Harley raises his eyebrows)
Jon: we have a new home we have to break it in...no calls no visits
Harley: are you trying to seduce me?
Jon: yeah I am, I think I can be a little greedy...right? at least for a day
Harley: babe you can be greedy all the time, I love that you're feeling better
Jon: yeah I actually am
Harley: it makes me happy to see you back to your old self
Jon: I still have work to do with that though bae
Harley: that's okay, as long as you're smiling again I'm happy cause I have missed that sweet smile of yours
Jon holds Harley's face gently and kisses him
Jon: I love your smile
Harley: not more than I love yours (Leyla goes over and knocks on the door) let me go get the door Jon freaked out thinking it was Alex:noooo babe please don't (goes into a corner) don't go please!
Harley: come here baby it's okay, it's not him
Jon shakes his head no: make him go away, make him go away! (hides under the bed)
Harley: baby, please come here, I'll keep you safe, I'm not going to let anyone hurt you
Leyla called Harley's phone again, he answered it: hi mom
Leyla: I'm outside, baby...are you guys okay? where are you?
Harley: mom I'll be right there, give me a few seconds
Leyla: I called you and the call got hung up and now I'm in front of your house...oh so you are home
Harley: yeah we are, we were just busy
Harley to Jon: baby come out, it's my mom at the door
Jon shakes his head no, curled up under the bed
Jon: go away, go away, go away, go away
Leyla calls Harley again
Harley: baby, please it's mom, she won't hurt you and I'm right here, I'm not going to let anyone hurt you
Harley went downstairs to get the door: hi mom come on in we're upstairs
Leyla: well, hi...what's going on? is everything okay? Yesterday I called you to see if you got in okay and to tell you I was waiting for you but the call got hung up and today you don't answer the door, you usually run to answer the door
Harley: I'm so sorry mom, we've been getting settled in. I'll be right back
Leyla: well at least have the decency to call me and tell me that
Harley: mom I'm so sorry. I really am
Leyla: where's Jon?
Harley: he's upstairs, I'll get him
Harley to Jon: bae you can come out now, love please
Jon: you swear it's not Alex?
Harley: baby I swear to you it's not him, he's locked up for good...he's not gonna hurt you any more I swear it (extends his hand) please come out of there
Jon grabs Harley's hand and came out from under the bed. Harley held him for a bit: let's go downstairs
Jon: don't let go
Harley: NEVER, I will never let go
Leyla visits with them for a couple of hours...she notices how fidgety her son-in-law is while she is there: Jon baby, what's wrong?
Jon: nothing...excuse me (goes to the spot in the kitchen)
Harley thought Jon had made some progress and now he's back to square 1
Harley: ma I'm so sorry but can we talk a little later I promise we'll stop by
Leyla: okay, I can take the hint. would you please come over this weekend so that we can spend more together? we'll barbecue
Harley: please don't be upset I said I was sorry (looks at Jon) yeah we can it'll do Jon some good
Leyla: are you sure he's okay? (pointing to Jon)
Harley: yeah he's fine just woozy from the flight + jet lagged
She left and Harley goes into the kitchen to make breakfast: are you hungry babe?
Jon: no
Harley leaves Jon alone for a bit till he's ready to come to him. Jon stares blankly out the window...lost in thought. Harley in the living room calls Jordan
Jordan: hey bud, what's up? how are you two? did you have a good night in your new home?
Harley: hey bro...back to square 1 he was doing amazing yesterday tons of progress till this morning
Jordan: oh no! what happened this morning?
Harley: my mother happened
Jordan: what do you mean?
Harley: she called yesterday but we were so tired we went to bed (not totally true) and this morning she called again but we were busy so I declined the call and since I didn't answer the call she came over...he heard the knock on the door and freaked out...right now he's in the kitchen at his spot
Jordan: damnit. I'm sorry bro, I know you hate seeing him like this, he's gonna have some good days and some bad ones too, it could take weeks to get over this, maybe even years
Harley: dude you should have seen him yesterday after we got home from the airport he was doing soooo good...you're right I fucking hate this I hate to see him like this, I can't take it
Jordan: he'll be okay, as long as he has you to take care of him, he'll be fine, I am glad he does have you in his life...he loves you so damn much
Harley: and I love him that's why it fucking kills me to see him like this
Jordan: I know you hate what he's going through but all you can do is be there for him. That's what he needs right now
Harley: I wish I could just make it all go away
Jordan: I do too, it's hard to know my brother is going through so much and I can't be near him
Harley sobs: I'm losing him J, because of that mother fucker I'm losing the love of my life (can't continue to talk so he just hangs up)
Jordan calls back: you're not losing him. He's going to get through this, because of you
Harley just listens...he puts it on speakerphone: I know you're right, I'm sorry I hung up on you bro
Jordan: you're frustrated I totally get it, I don't blame you I would've most likely done the same thing...what is he doing now?
Harley: he's still sitting in his spot, he hasn't left it. What do I do? I can't stand back and do nothing
Jordan: try talking to him, reassuring him everything is gonna be okay...cause it will. I totally get it that part of having to stand by unable to do anything bites I despise it
Harley: I'll try, I'll do anything at this point, I love him so fucking much, I just want him to be himself again
Jordan: he'll get there, I promise, he'll get there
They hang up and Harley goes to the kitchen to talk to Jon. Jon goes back to the bedroom and just sits on the bed. Harley goes upstairs and stands at the door...Jon looks up then suddenly runs to Harley into his arms, he just starts crying. Harley just holds and cries with him
Harley: I love you, you'll get through this and I'm gonna be here with every step of the way. You'll never be alone. I'm here, always
Jon: why is this happening? why me?...don't let go
Harley: I'm never gonna let go baby. He did this to you, that monster is the reason you're hurting like this. I wish it had been me, not you
Jon gets a little mad: don't you fucking say that again (walks over to the bed)
Harley: baby I'm sorry, I just can't stand that it had to be you he hurt
Jon: yes this bites I hate what happened but there is no fucking way in hell I'm gonna let you take the fall for something I didn't even go looking for (goes into the back porch for fresh air)
Harley follows him: baby I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have said that, it's just killing me to see you like this. I fucking hate what it's doing to you.
Harley starts crying this time, that night when they go to bed they sleep each facing the other way. Harley cried himself to sleep. Jon gets up at 4 the next morning and works on the rearranging of the furniture and unpacking the rest of the stuff...Harley was deep in sleep that he didn't hear him.
Jon goes back upstairs after he gets tired from unpacking and rearranging: wakey, wakey, sunshine
Jon sits by his bedside waiting for him to wake up. Harley wakes up, turns around and sees Jon looking at him
Jon: morning love bug, bae about last night
Harley was still a little upset: you're not mad at me anymore?
Jon: I'm incredibly sorry I blew up like that I never meant to do it, no bae I'm not
Harley: baby I'm so sorry I said what I did
Jon: not looking for excuses love but this whole situation is driving me insane I feel like I'm gonna lose it, I can't take any more of this shit
Harley: and you don't think it's killing me to see you like this? It hurts like hell
Jon: true that I wasn't expecting that but I shouldn't have reacted the way I did I'm sorry love
Harley went to him and cried: it's okay, you have reason to feel the way you do
Jon: no bae please don't I already feel horrible, please stop crying
Harley: you're my everything and it kills me that you're going through this, I have to sit back and see you in so much turmoil
Jon: it feels like I'm in a maze with no way out, the more I look for a way the more complicated it gets. (stands) no, you know what? I promised you a fresh start and so help me that's what we're gonna do, starting right now
Harley stands with him: that's the Jon I know and love
Jon: call mom and apologize on my behalf...tell her we're gonna pass on the barbecue cause we have other plans
Harley: what are we going to do baby?
Alex and Ben prepare for the stakeout at the house
Jon to Harley back at the house: we're going sight seeing then...I don't know we'll decide as we go
Harley : anything as long as it's with you
Jon calls Leyla:hi mom, it's Jon
Leyla: my sugar plum...what do I owe this beautiful surprise? are you on your way?
Jon: mom I'm sorry, we aren't going, I'm so sorry, I just need to spend some quality time with Harley, I've been kind of going through some things right now and Harley hasn't seen much of me because of it
Leyla a bit disappointed: you're cancelling on me again?
Jon: mom I'm sorry please don't be mad
Leyla: I don't know what you guys are going through but I hope it gets resolved soon, I want my boys back...no baby I'm not mad just...a bit disappointed but hey that's okay go spend quality time with your husband, I'll tell everyone the party's over. It's fine, go have some fun
Jon kind of still felt bad for cancelling on her: I'll tell you what, next weekend we'll go over.
Harley on his phone with Jordan filling him in on everything
Jordan: looks like he's feeling better again
Leyla to Jon: no sugar don't worry about it I'll eventually see you, besides we don't live that far
Harley: yea he is, thank god I just hope it lasts (in a happier tone)
Jordan: me too bro, but remember that he's still got a lot more to go
Harley: yea, how can I forget, one day at a time
Jon and Harley finish on their phones at the same time...also at the same time: bae you ready to go
Harley: yeah my love I'm ready, let's go
Jon: LOL what was that?
Harley: what?
Jon: the whole twin thing we just had going on (they head out and Jon sits in the passenger seat)
Alex to Ben: they're on the move (looking at his GPS tracker)
Alex about Jon: where are you going baby hmm?
Ben: I thought you two weren't together anymore
Alex looks at Ben with daggers: well we are he just doesn't understand it that's why I called you, I need shorty out of the way and you can do that
Ben: you want me to kill his husband?
Alex: do whatever you have to do, I need him out of my way if I want Jon back
Ben: and what makes you think that his husband is gonna let you near him?
Alex: that's where you come in my friend, that's why I need you to help me out
Ben: you escape prison and call me to get you, now you want me to help you get your old boyfriend back? If I fucking go to prison because of you, I'll kill you myself
Alex: if you do things the right way and when I say that won't happen...and yes that is the sole purpose of me escaping that shit hole, now, you in or not?
Ben: yeah whatever dude
Charlie to Alex: I'm in
Alex looked back at Charlie in the back seat: that a boy, you can get his husband I know that you have a problem with him
Charlie: yeah he's a little faggot! so how's it gonna work and when do we start?
Alex: I'm gonna get into their house and get my Jon back and whatever you do to Harley I don't give a fuck what you do to him
In the car they're listening to music and Jon starts singing along, Harley looks at him but doesn't say a word and he's smiling just to see him a bit normal again. Stay the Same is playing on the CD Harley had brought, at one point Jon reached over and got Harley's hand and laced his fingers through his. Jon still singing the song and their laced fingers still with one another he decides to dedicate and serenade his love...Harley looked like he wanted to cry happy tears
Jon: pull over bae
Harley: why baby are you okay?
Jon: yea I'm fine, pullover
Harley pulls over, Jon unbuckles, leans Harley's seat back and make out. Harley was in complete shock but didn't want him to stop
Jon: we have lots to catch up on...time lost, it's gonna get better I promise
Harley: baby you have no idea what this means to me, I'm betting on it (looks deep into his eyes) it means the world to me too
Jon: screw the road trip let's go back home and have sex
Harley: no argument here babe let's go
Jon gets comfy back in his seat as they head home: tomorrow we'll call mom and invite her for dinner
Harley: that's a plan, thanks baby, she'll be so excited for that
Jon: I owe her she's been dying to come over and cause of me she hasn't been able to at least not the full day
Harley: you're so sweet baby, but that isn't your fault, you've been dealing with so much
Jon: yea so much bullshit
Harley: baby it's gonna get better for you
Jon and Harley get back home and run upstairs. Got their shirts and pants off in a matter of seconds, feeling the moment Jon went for it. He pulled down Harley's underwear and just went for it, gave him a fantastic blow job...they make out till they pass out. Harley falls asleep on Jon's chest. Next morning Jon wakes up early and gets out of bed without waking Harley up...goes to the kitchen to make breakfast. Harley wakes up to use the bathroom then goes back to bed, he was really tired
Jon comes in with the tray of food for the both of them: wakey, wakey love (goes over to the bed and starts caressing his face very gently. Harley opens his eyes and sees his handsome husband sitting next to him)
Jon: my love had a long night?
Harley: yes but so well worth it, last night was incredible baby
Jon: LOL very well worth it I loved it
Harley: I missed that laugh babe
Jon: I'm sorry
Harley: why are you sorry baby?
Jon: that I stopped doing what you love
Harley: baby, don't apologize for that, I'm just happy to see you so happy
Jon: no you know what I'm not gonna fuck up this moment forget everything I said let's just enjoy what we have (guessing) mom calls in 3, 2, 1
Leyla calls...Jon giggles
Harley: always baby
Jon: LOL told you (Jon picks up) hi mom
Harley laughed
Leyla: hi sugar
Jon: how can we help you this fine morning?
Leyla: someone is in a great mood this morning
Jon: best one yet that's for sure
Harley: hi mom (He yells)
Leyla: who's screaming? Harley? (Leyla joking) it better be Harley the one with you because you and me are gonna have some serious words young man LOL
Jon laughed: awe mom I'd never cheat on your baby boy. Not in a million years
Leyla: like hell your not
Leyla to Harley while on the phone with Jon: hi baby!
Leyla to Jon: okay so the reason I called is because I wanted to ask you...what do I have to bring for dinner tonight? and don't I don't have to bring anything because I'm not going empty handed
Jon: mom you really don't have to bring anything,we've got dinner covered this night is yours.
Harley from the background: make flan mommy make flan...LOL
Jon blew Harley a kiss: did you hear your son mom?
Leyla: LOL yes I did he loves that...okay that's what I'll bring, what time?
Jon: is 630 good?
Leyla: that sounds great 6:30 it is then (puts the 2 flans in the oven so that way it's ready to eat when she goes over) okay sunshine I'll let you go now...keep doing what you were doing I'll finally see you tonight
Jon: okay mom, see you tonight.
Leyla: tell my son I'll see him later, love you
Jon to Leyla: I will mom we love you too (hangs up with Leyla)
Harley: what did she say bae?
Jon joined Harley in the shower
Jon: round 2 bae?
Harley: OMG you are on fire baby, but I love it
Jon starts up...kisses his neck, and that drives Harley crazy
Harley laughs: bae! your such a tease love (the hair on the back of his neck rise)
Jon turns Harley around and continues to kiss his neck, and touch his ass with his cock.
Harley: Omg! bae...holy shit!
Jon: you like that baby? How much do you want me?
Harley: fuck yea I love it...I want you more than you'll ever understand bae
Jon: I love you so much babe, never forget how much.
Harley was in pure bliss, he missed this moment very much:I wanna stay like this forever bae...wish we could cancel tonight but she'll kill me if we do
Jon: after she leaves,we'll go at it again, I promise.
Harley: won't you be too tired?
Jon: not too tired for you bae, I owe you so much we have lost too much time
After hours in the shower lovin' on each other they finally get out and when they notice what time it is they rush to get dressed and make dinner
Jon: I'm finally feeling like myself. I can't explain it, but I am so happy right now
Harley drops everything he's doing goes to Jon and plants one on him: you have no idea how happy that makes me I love seeing the shine in your eyes and the sound of your laugh is omg! (getting teary and choked up)
Jon: I owe a lot of it to you babe you have been here for me no matter what I mean I have yelled at you for stupid reasons and yet you still love me unconditionally. I have put you through so much and you manage to put me first always
Harley: hey (their eyes connect) I will always love you unconditionally you're damn right about that, but to say you owe me that's where you're wrong cause you don't owe me anything, you're my life and that will NEVER change. I will always put you first in a blink of an eye, you're my world
(getting teary eyed)
Jon: I can't even begin to express how much you mean to me I couldn't have pulled through like this without you I am so grateful to have you in my life baby.
Harley to prevent himself from crying: I have to go call your brother (runs to the room and closes the door)
Jon followed him: babe,are you okay?
Harley: perfectly fine bae I'll be right out to finish helping in the kitchen
Jon went over to kiss him: I love you (gives him some privacy)
Harley sighs: I love you too (after Jon left the room...redials Jordan's number)
Jordan: hey bud what's up?
Harley: dude did you not hear your phone? (super excited) dude he's back
Jordan: OMG seriously? that is fucking awesome, I am so happy.
Harley: I'm not gonna go into too much detail cause the rest of the stuff is between him and I but...OMG, my baby's back J my baby is finally back
Harley on the phone but in the living room on his laptop getting Jordan a ticket to Cali: bro pack a bag or whatever I'm flying you out here TOMORROW (finds Jordan a ticket and sends it to him via email with the safety net of a reserved seat in first class) look at your email in like in 5 minutes or so I sent you the ticket all you gotta do is print it out and present it at check in
Jordan: OMG I can't wait to see you guys. Thank you for the ticket bro and as for my brother OMFG I want to cry, I'm so Damn grateful to you for that, you have been such a rock for him
Harley: you should've seen him this morning...okay not all but OMG!...he's back to life, my baby is back to life J...finally my baby is back to life (getting choked up) okay I gotta stop if not I'm gonna cry again LOL...tell mom the news I gotta go we're expecting my mom to come over any minute and I gotta help bae out in the kitchen...as soon as you're in the airport call me so I can go pick you up...NO TAXI
Jordan wanted to cry as well: oh yeah I'm gonna tell mom everything, she's going to be so ecstatic to know her baby boy is himself again. Talk to you soon. love you bro, tell Jon hi for me.
Harley: okay do that I'll see you tomorrow I gotta run
Harley hangs up with Jordan and goes to the kitchen real quick: okay bae where were we my love?
Jon: what were you doing baby?
Harley: I was on the phone love I'm sorry (can't stop smiling)
Jon: baby it's okay, don't worry about it. Would you please make the salad.
Harley: salad coming right up (makes the salad just the way Jon likes it)
Jon grabs Harley's waist from behind, kisses the back of his neck. Everything for dinner all set...Harley turns around, wraps his arms around Jon's neck and corresponds to his kisses
Jon: mmmmm baby, I love the way you kiss me, I love the taste of your mouth.
On the second long kiss the doorbell rings
Harley jokingly: dammit LOL my mom has perfect timing
Jon: LOL the best
Jon runs to the door...Harley impressed it didn't affect him that time
Jon: hi mommy
Harley: hi mom come on in, would you like a tour of the house?
Leyla: look at you 2 tonight, wow! so much change since the last time I came over
Jon was smiling so much and wraps his arm Harley's shoulder, pulling him closer
Harley to Leyla: don't mean to be rude mom but (snaps a pic of Jon and him at that moment and sends it immediately to Jordan) sorry had to do that (Harley couldn't stop smiling)
Jon: you are too cute baby. Let's show mom the house
Jordan who's at Marlene's house: MOM! (runs to the kitchen super excited...jumps up and down like a little kid) look, look, look, look (shows off the picture Harley sent him of them all cuddled up)
Back in California at Jon and Harley's house
Harley to Jon: of course my love
In Boston
Marlene: OMG baby you weren't kidding, he looks so good, he's so happy, I miss him so much, both of them. Harley looks so happy as well
Back in California...Jon and Harley showed Leyla the house. She loved it
At Marlene's house back in Boston
Jordan to Marlene: I was talking to Harley not too long ago cause he couldn't wait to call me and tell me the great news and he's flying me out tomorrow to go see him...OMG! mom you have to come with me
Marlene: of course I'll go with you, try and stop me. Lol
Jordan: I'll pay for your ticket (runs to get his laptop and finds Marlene a ticket just like Harley did for him)...LMFAO I knew it (Jordan gives her, her ticket) we don't sit together but we're going together...Oh! I hope Harley doesn't mind
Back in Cali
Leyla: the house is simply gorgeous I'm so happy for both of you my babies
Back in Boston
Marlene to Jordan: oh baby I don't think he will.
Jordan: yea you're right, I'm sure he's dying to call you too, to tell you about it. They were smiling. And they looked so happy.
Marlene : he will baby. I'm just so happy to know he's doing so much better
Jordan: God yea finally, dinner at Alma's? you know to celebrate
At Jon and Harley's house they all sit down to eat. In Boston
Marlene: yeah she'll be so excited to know Jon's back to his old self
Jon's thoughts drift away at one point during the conversation
Harley notices: are you okay baby? (He whispered in Jon's ear)
Jordan runs to the car and gets his clothes...cause he's spending some days at his mom's: okay, let's go (all dressed up)
Jon jumps a bit: huh?
Jon to Harley: sorry love, oh bae yeah I'm fine don't worry
In Boston Marlene and Jordan go to dinner
Marlene: I can't wait to tell Alma the great news about my little boy. He's finally getting better
Jordan: awww mom I wanna tell her, I got the picture so HA!
Jordan and Marlene get to Alma Nove's
In California back at Jon and Harley's
Harley touched Jon's hand: Hey I love you. I know I say it a whole lot but I don't want you to ever forget it
Jon starts to get a bit more serious as the night progresses and a bit less talkative
Jon looks at Harley: I love to hear it every single time, bae honest I'm fine I just drifted off a bit I'm sorry about that
In Boston
Marlene: OMG you're such a little kid lol
Jordan: yup (big smile on his face...his eyes glowing which they hadn't since the whole situation with Jon happened)
Marlene missed seeing Jordan like that. It was like the light in his eyes had gone out when Jon was missing
Jordan and Marlene arrive at the restaurant: we're here (gets out and holds the door for his mom)
Marlene: thank you baby
They enter the restaurant
Jordan: mommy Alma, look. look, look (shows her the picture of Harley and Jon) he's feeling so much better
Alma: OMG he is looking so wonderful. he is finally himself
Jordan: yea! mommy and me leave tomorrow to go see him (he sees Donnie at the restaurant) YO D! (runs to tell him the news) look (shows the picture)
Donnie smiled after seeing the picture: I'd never thought I'd see him like that again. It's good to know he's back to the Jon we love
Jordan: dude neither did I, hey join us for dinner
Donnie: of course I will. Haven't seen you in awhile, we have to catch up (they walk over to the table where Alma and Marlene are chatting up a storm)
Back in Cali...Jon, Harley and Leyla look at pictures of when Harley was a baby and when he was growing up. Back in Boston
Donnie: well I see our moms wasted no time
In California
Jon to Leyla: mom I have to have copies of these..
Jon to Harley: aww bae you're adorable LOL
Harley was so embarrassed that his mom was showing his husband baby pictures of him
Jon comes across a picture of Harley that spooks him...he sees, drops it and starts to shake: no no no no (sits back on the couch and keeps leaning back as if he were trying to run away)
Harley goes to him: baby what's wrong. You were fine. What happened?
Jon: that can't happen, no not again, please no not again (grabs Harley's forearm)
Harley: my love, what happened?
Jon: can't let it happen (visibly shaking)
Harley: baby look at me, talk to me, what just happened? You were just looking at my baby pictures
Leyla worries: sugar you okay you look pale
Leyla to Harley: he was looking at this picture (hands him the picture of him laying on the floor with one hand on his chest and his legs crossed fast asleep in a corner)
Harley to Jon: baby look at me! Why did this upset you so much?
Jon turns his head away from the picture: no please no...make him go away, make him stop
Harley just sat next to him, holding him.
Harley looks at the picture and starts thinking till he realizes: oh God! (turns his focus to Jon) baby! it's okay, I'm fine, we're both just fine
Leyla: Harley, what's going on? he was just laughing a few seconds ago and now look at him
Leyla goes over to Jon: sugar plum tell mommy what's wrong hmm
Jon held onto Harley so tight: Noooooo bae please don't let him hurt me, get him away from me. STOP HIM BAE
Harley: baby shhhh I got you love I'm here...no bae no one's going to hurt you I'm not gonna let it happen he's locked up (holds him tenderly by the chin) look at me bae, focus on me, alright...I'm right here, he's not gonna hurt you anymore I promise
Harley to Leyla: we'll talk in a bit I think it's about that time to come clean...let me just work with him
Leyla nodded: sure baby, he's clearly upset about something so yeah take care of him. I see you being so loving with him, and he clings onto you. You're such a good husband
Harley: thanks mom but it wasn't always like this in the beginning of it all (takes a deep breath)
Leyla : what do you mean?
Harley to Jon: the pictures are all gone bae see nothing there...all gone baby, it's okay we're both okay we're home (rubs his chest)
Harley to Leyla: I know how easily you freak out mom but please don't freak out on me now I beg you (swallows real heavy) for Jon's sake mom, please cause if you freak out, Jon will too
Jon: don't let go Bae please don't let me go
Leyla: it's kinda hard not to freak out when you only tell me half the story...out with it already
Harley to Jon: I'll never let go bae I promise I will never let go
Jon was crying: baby please don't let him hurt me
Harley to Jon: baby no he's not gonna hurt you anymore shhhh it's okay that's all over, all done, no more (consoles him)
Harley to Leyla: Jon's ex popped up again about a half a year ago and (looks at Jon) well he...he took Jordan and me with him and did horrible things to Jon...there I said it
Leyla: why am I just now finding out about this? what he did you do to Jon?
Harley: mom you promised
Leyla: I'm sorry but how am I supposed to react? When I find out something like this
Harley: I didn't tell you before cause I didn't want you to ever find out but under the circumstances I had too look at what it's doing to him mom and it's killing me...its killing me that I can't do JACK SHIT about it and just have to stand by and watch my baby break...I can't put the pieces back together again
(tries not to cry in front of Jon...Jon hears him get upset) ahhhhh!
Harley: shhh it's alright love I'm okay and so are you (rubbing his back)
Jon not realizing he's with Harley tries to "break free" from his grip so he can run and hide but Harley holds onto him: babe, come here it's me, I'm not gonna hurt you. I WILL NEVER HURT
YOU
Leyla couldn't take the news all that well but since she couldn't react the way she normally would because of Jon's state she leaves, once outside she breaks...she sat in her car for about 20 minutes, she wanted to be with her boys but she didn't want to upset Jon any further
Jon after a while starts to slowly snap out of it
Jon to Harley: you're okay? you're with me?
Harley: oh baby, yes I'm okay and I'm ALWAYS with you
Jon: we're okay?
Harley: of course we are bae, why wouldn't we be?
Jon starts to relax and calm down: cause he hurt you too
Harley: yes he did but he hurt you in the worst way and I'm sorry about that
Jon: hold me, hold me please hold me
Harley: god yes babe, I'll hold you for as long as you want me to and never let you go (they sleep on the couch that night)
Next morning Jon wakes up first: huh? (realizing he and Harley slept on the couch...in hushed tones) well this is a first
Jon gets up: bae you up here (since he didn't find Harley on the couch with him after he got up)
Harley in the bedroom: I'm up here love,you okay?
Jon finds him: what a maze this house is LOL...yea bae I'm fine, hey where are you going so early in the morning? (seeing Harley's dressed to go out)
Harley: I need to go to my mom's baby, she needs to do her a favor and I'm gonna talk to her about last night...will you be okay by yourself for a little while?
Jon: how long?
Harley: for about 30 minutes at the most.
Jon: okay, wait what happened last night? (not remembering much)
Harley: you had a moment, you saw a pic of me that freaked you out and I told mom what had happened. I had to tell her baby she was scared for you
Jon: what?! bae no why did you tell her? (bummed)
Harley: babe I'm sorry, I had to I didn't get into too much detail though it freaked her out
Leyla goes to visit and check on Jon
Harley: what are you doing here? I was gonna go over there
Leyla: good morning to you too sunshine gee...I came to see my baby boy where is he?
Harley: sorry mom, good morning
Goes in the house sees Jon and goes to him: how's my baby doing this morning feeling better?
Harley: he's right here
Jon looking at Harley answers Leyla: yea mom I'm feeling better
Jon to Harley: where are you really going? I think I have a right to know
Harley to Jon: to the airport baby I have to pick up a friend I won't be long though I promise
Jon: the airport? the airport to pick up a friend? and who might this friend be?
Harley: babe, it's a friend why the interrogation?
Jon: no interrogation just curiosity, okay then go I can somehow entertain mom till you get back
Harley: what's wrong? are you mad?
Jon: no not mad, just like I said I was curious, curiosity over so no biggie...you're gonna be late if the flight gets in early so you better get going
Harley goes to kiss him: love you, I'll be right back.
Jon: love you too
Harley gets to the airport just in time to get Jordan and Marlene
Harley greets Jordan and when he sees Marlene: mom?! You came (hugs her too)
Harley to Marlene: Omg wow what are you doing here?
Marlene: Jordan invited me, hope that's okay (looking a bit hurt)
Harley to Jordan: good move...
Harley to Marlene: oh mom of course it is your always gonna be welcome to our home
Marlene corresponds to Harley's hug: good, where is my baby?
Harley: he's home I think a bit upset with me...oopsies
Marlene: why is he upset with you baby?
Harley: I told him I was coming to the airport to pick up a friend he wanted to know and I didn't tell him...but the only reason I didn't tell him is because I want it to be a surprise for him
Marlene: oh baby I know you want to surprise him but if it was gonna upset him, maybe you should've told him the truth
Harley: that's the thing I didn't know he was gonna get upset, let alone even ask to be honest with you, he usually doesn't
Marlene: you know how vulnerable he is baby
Jordan: he'll be fine once he sees us you'll see
Harley to Marlene: I know I should of thought it out better, I'm sorry
On their way back to the house...Leyla was just leaving as they pull up. Jon had walked her out so he was outside when Harley pulled in. Jon looks up sees the car but still decides to go back inside and plays with his cell phone...Harley notices that he is still a little upset with him
Jordan: oh uh Harley trouble in paradise dude?
Harley nodded: yup, he's still mad I guess
Jordan: no worries I'll fix it
Harley: I hope seeing you will make him feel better and he gets over it
Jordan: if there's one thing my brother's not is resentful he'll get over it I'll explain it to him
Jordan helps Harley with the suitcases and Marlene goes to the house
Marlene can't wait to see her baby boy, she opens the front door and greets him: baby!
Jordan and Harley trail behind
Jon: hey mom (without looking...then looks: mom? (goes to greet her) what are you doing here? this is a surprise
Jordan walks in: hey bro, do I get a hug too?
Jon looks behind his mom: hey bro! OMG I didn't know you were coming. Harley babe did you invite them here?
Harley smiles: yea I did and that's why I didn't tell you because I wanted you to be surprised
Jon looked a bit sad
Harley: what's wrong love?
Jon: cause I was stupid with you before (looked down) I thought when you had told me that when you were picking up a friend you might have been cheating
Harley: babe, why would you ever think that? Oh God no love I would never do that to you my love
Jon: I'm sorry bae it won't happen again it was just that...I don't really know what it was my mind
