Gilbert was holding Sam close to him. A group of 5 punks had just beaten Sam up. Why they did that to his sweet and innocent Sam he had no idea, but he had chased those bastards halfway through Endora, nearly ran them over with his truck, and threatened to kill them if they ever hurt Sam again. Sam was hurt pretty bad. He had cuts and scraps all over his body, a black eye, and a swollen lip. His head was buried in Gilbert's chest and Gilbert was glaring after the guys that had beaten him up. Sam started to cry. He didn't understand why they had beaten him up. He never hurt anybody!
Gilbert stopped glaring at the punks and looked down at his Sam when he heard him cry. "Sam, sweetie, what's the matter?" Gilbert asked and cupped Sam's face upwards so he could see him. "I-I d-don't underst-tand w-why th-they h-hurt me!" Sam stuttered through his tears. "Oh, darling." Gilbert gently hugged Sam. "It'll be ok. They won't hurt anymore." Gilbert pulled back from the hug so he could see Sam. He sang their song to Sam:
Come stop your crying
It will be alright
Just take my hand
Hold it tight
I will protect you
From all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry
For one so small
You seem so strong
My arms will hold you
Keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry
'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart, always
Why can't they understand
The way we feel
They just don't trust
What they can't explain
I know we're different but,
Deep inside us
We're not that different at all
And you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
Don't listen to them
'Cause what do they know
We need each other
To have, to hold
They'll see in time
I know
When destiny calls you
You must be strong
I may not be with you
But you've got to hold on
They'll see in time
I know
We'll show them together
'Cause you'll be in my heart
Believe me, you'll be in my heart
I'll be there from this day on
Now and forever more
Ooh, you'll be in my heart
You'll be here in my heart
No matter what they say
I'll be with you
You'll be here in my heart
I'll be there, always
Always
I'll be with you
I'll be there for you always
Always and always
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
I'll be there
Always
Gilbert gently kissed Sam on his lips. Sam softly kissed him back. They pulled back and Gilbert said," Nobody hurts Sam. 'Kay? Your mine and nobody hurts my Sam. Right?" "Right. What do I do if they come back?" Sam asked. "You call me and I'm gonna kick their asses. And why is that?" "'Cause nobody hurts Sam." "That's right." They kissed again. "I love you, Gilbert." Sam said as they parted their mouths. "I love you, too, Sam." Gilbert replied. "Let's get you cleaned up." "Ok." Gilbert picked Sam up and carried him back to his house bridal style.
