CHAPTER 7
"You doing ok there Sunshine?" Brian asked as he turned off the light of the bathroom. They had left Michael and Ben's shortly after their talk with Lindsay and Melanie. Brian could see Justin's eyes glazing over, and left early with him. Justin had fought off sleep in the car, but now that he had gotten out of the car and walked on his crutches, he had woken back up a little.
"Yeah I'm ok." Justin said from his side of the bed. Brian smiled. Justin loved that side of the bed. Before Justin came along, he used to sleep in the middle of the bed. Whenever Justin would sleep over, he would sleep on the side closest to the living room. Even after his loft got robbed, and he kicked Justin out, he found himself staying on one side of the bed. He would get used to it with their sleepovers. But once he moved in officially, after he had been bashed, he never did sleep in the middle again. He always stayed on one side of the bed. He liked having Justin in bed with him every night. He liked being able to reach over and touch him. "Earth to Brian." he heard Justin say. Brian shook his head.
"What?" Brian asked. Justin chuckled.
"I asked you why your just standing there starring at me. You don't think you can use your Rage powers to make me pop a woody do you? Because I already told you it's down for the count." Justin said. He grabbed his dick through is boxers. "It's still numb feeling." Justin said. Brian chuckled and got undressed.
"No I wasn't thinking that. To bad I couldn't use Rage's superpowers. I could make your dick 20 inches long." Brian joked.
"I'd kill your ass."
"Who said your getting inside my ass?" Brian asked, sitting down on the bed next to him.
"You like it sometimes." Justin joked. He moved around a bit and then looked back up at Brian. "So what were you thinking about then when you spaced out?" Justin asked. Brian let out a deep breath and scrubbed his face. He wasn't about to tell him the total lesbionic thoughts he was having about having him share a bed again. So he decided to tell him some bad news instead.
"I was...thinking about something I have to tell you." Brian said seriously. Justin tilted his head.
"You're not gonna try and break up with me are you?" Justin joked. Brian huffed and rolled his eyes.
"Yes that's really what I want to say. Because I'm looking forward to Debbie ripping my balls off." he joked. "Wouldn't work. You'd never leave." he laughed. Brian scooted closer to him.
"Then what's wrong?" Justin asked.
"It's about your father." Brian said. Justin's shook his head and let out a frustrated sigh.
"What does he have to do with you?" Justin asked, looking down at his lap. Brian took a deep breath.
"Your father has decided that he's going to sue your mother for full custody of your sister." Brian said. Justin whipped his head up to look at him.
"What? Why the hell is he doing that? After all this time?" Justin demanded.
"Calm down Sunshine. I'm taking care of this. Melanie is already waiting-"
"Why is she waiting? Why doesn't Melanie just go after the fucking bastard?" Justin demanded. Brian twisted around, so he was on his knees, facing Justin. He put his hands on his shoulders.
"Justin stop it!" Brian commanded. "Listen to me. Are you listening?"
"Yes I'm listening." Justin said.
"Your dad has been waiting to start a fight with your mom. He was pissed at her because she switched Friday nights with him, and then Molly gets driven home by Debbie, Emmett and Carl. He hates Debbie, because you moved in with her and in his mind she just encouraged your disease." Brian said. He had only found this out tonight from Melanie and Emmett. He told Brian all the things that Justin's father had screamed at them when they brought Molly home.
"Debbie didn't force me to be gay." Justin said.
"I know that. But this is your father we're talking about. Now just relax and let me finish. He saw Debbie, and Emmett, and everyone can tell Emmett's gay, and your father just freaked. Demanded to know why she was with them, and Molly got upset and started crying, and told your father that you were back. So that's why he started saying he's going to the courthouse on Monday and get full custody of her." Brian said. Justin covered his face with his hands.
"Oh my God my poor mother." he said taking his hands away from his face. "It was hard enough when my father forced me out of the house. It's going to kill her if he wins." Justin said. Brian shook his shoulders again.
"Justin I'm not going to let that happen. I have all the money in the world to take care of this. Whoever the hell your father hires to represent him, I'm going to have Melanie and a whole fucking team of the best lawyers. Your dad won't win. Your mother and your sister will be just fine." Brian said. Justin scrubbed his face with his hands again.
"This is all my fault. This has always been my fault. Just because I'm gay." Justin said. Brian leaned forward and pulled Justin's face to look at him.
"Don't blame yourself because your father is a fucking terrible homophobic prick. You've always blamed yourself for their marriage falling apart. It was going to fall apart. At least it happened sooner then later. Your mother was miserable with him. And he threw his son away. What mother could love a man after he's hurt her son?" he asked. Justin's eyes filled with tears. "You didn't break up their marriage. If anything you got your mother out of that house sooner then years from now. Their marriage was never truly happy. And your mother loves you. She doesn't regret having a gay son. She loves you. And she won't stand by and let anyone hurt you." Brian said. Justin hid his eyes with his hand. "Your mom will be ok."
"But what about Molly?" he cried, looking back up. "He hit me. He wrecked your car and beat you up. I had to leave my own house because of him, and he wouldn't pay for college. What is he gonna do to her? She's cried to me a couple of times because he says awful things about me and my mom to her. It breaks her heart. She wasn't able to get away from it like I was. What if he hits her?" Justin cried. Brian didn't know what to say to that. He had never seen Justin cry like this. He sat back down next to Justin and pulled him into his arms. "She's had to deal with all the aftermath from me. She never did anything wrong." Justin cried.
"I know Justin." Brian said. He was never good at comforting someone. How was he even supposed to do this? Justin cried into his chest. He just hugged him, and rubbed his hands up and down.
"This is all my fault." he said.
"No it's not." Brian said. He pulled him to sit up and made him look at him. "I've already told you. This isn't your fault. Your mom doesn't even blame you. She cried for you. She doesn't understand how your father can treat you like this. She doesn't blame you. And you shouldn't either."
"My father blames it all on me though."
"Fuck your father. He's hit you. Kicked you out of the house when you were just a kid. He let you go to jail. Wouldn't pay for your fucking college education. I had to pick up his fucking slack and pay for his fucking kid to go to college, because he was to proud to have a gay son. He was lucky to have a son like you, and he threw you away. No good father throws theit son away." Brian said. He had to keep his face straight as he said that. He knows that he failed a lot with own son. But he always did these things, not because he didn't love him, but he thought he was better off. But right now wasn't the time to even think about that. "This isn't your fault. I'm going to take care of this. I promise. I won't let your dad take your sister away from your mom. Don't you trust me?" he asked. Justin stared at him for a few minutes.
"Yes I trust you. I just don't trust my dad." Justin said. Brian pulled him closer to him.
"I know Justin. But I'll do everything that I can to make this ok. I promise you." he said. The next few days went by quietly for the first time since Justin moved back. He had to sit back for the next week, so there wasn't anything for him to do. Justin was easily getting bored. But he took Brian's suggestion and started sketching out different things that he wanted to do in the house. Brian knew that once he was in that zone of sketching, he was able to forget everything else that was around him. But Brian could tell when he would come back down to reality. He was worried about his mom and his sister, and was beating himself up, blaming himself.
Everyone was really good at creating distractions for Justin, because everyone constantly kept coming by the loft to see him. Everyone was excited to have him back home. It was just a waiting game. Justin's father hadn't let Jennifer know anything about what he was doing. Carl and Melanie had gone to his house to take Molly back home. He had practically been holding her hostage in the house. But it was literally just a waiting game. And that's what was killing Justin.
After a week, Brian had brought Justin back to the doctor. His leg looked completely better. They took the stitches out, and it was easy for Justin to walk on again. He limped a bit, but he didn't have to use the crutches. Which made Brian so happy, because every time Justin would wake up in the middle of the night, he woke him up with the crutches bouncing on the floor. And to be honest, Justin was just clumsy with them. He was wobbly on them, and constantly bumped into things. The wall, the bed, the couch. Everything. Brian was happy to see them go. Justin still had to take it easy, but he didn't have to be on bed rest.
"When can we get someone out to Britin so we can start the redecorating?" Justin asked when they were in the Vette, leaving the doctors office.
"Cynthia's made some calls to some designers. She said she can set up a couple of meetings with them for you, and you can decide who you want. I already have a construction company. I've been using them since I started Kinnetik. I pay them well, they do everything fast, right and safely. Can't beat that." Brian said. Justin smiled.
"I think I'll take Emmett with me." Brian snorted. His phone rang then, and when he picked it up to see the screen, he saw that it was Jennifer. He shot a look at Justin.
"Is your phone on?" Brian asked. Justin picked it up and looked at his.
"I had it on vibrate. Is that my mom? I missed her call." he asked. Brian handed the phone to him. "Hey mom...wait slow down..." Justin said. Brian looked over at him. "WHAT?" Justin yelled.
"What happened?" Brian demanded.
"Go to her house." Justin said. Brian switched lanes and drove down the highway until he could turn around and go the opposite way. "Mom it's ok. Me and Brian will be right there...mom please stop crying. We'll be right there ok." Justin said. He waited a minute before he hung up.
"What happened?" Brian asked again.
"My dad served my mother. He's suing her for full custody." Justin said.
"We already knew he was going to do that. What else happened?" he asked.
"He went and took her out of school today. He said that my mother was endangering her." Justin said.
"Did she call Mel yet?" Brian asked.
"I have no idea." Justin said.
"Give me my phone I'll call her." Brian said. Brian was hiring Melanie to work for him with everything legal. His own personal lawyer. She would be making double the amount that she did at the law firm she worked for, and much more flexible hours to be with the kids. He dialed Mel's phone. "Get to Jennifer's house right now. She got served...what?...who?...We'll be right there." Brian said and hung up.
"What's wrong?" Justin asked.
"Apparently you and I are about to get served. There's someone waiting there for us. They just got there." Brian said. They pulled up out front and walked into Kinnetik.
"Justin Taylor and Brian Kinney?" a man asked as they walked in.
"Yes. That's us." Brian said. The man handed each of them an envelope and walked away. They both ripped the envelopes open and read. "Fucking bastard." Brian said.
"It's a restraining order. I can't go near my own sister." Justin yelled.
"Honey it's ok. I'm going to take care of this. Let me see this." Melanie said and took the papers and read over them quickly. "Baby I can take care of this. Let's just get to your moms house." Melanie said. Brian led him back out to the car, and Melanie followed in her car, to Jennifer's house. When they walked in, Jennifer was sitting at the kitchen table crying, with Tucker and Debbie sitting on each side of her.
"Mom." Justin said. Jennifer stood up and hugged Justin, crying.
"There's a restraining order against me. I can't see my own daughter." Jennifer cried.
"That fucking lunatic. He made up all these fucking lies against you all." Debbie said.
"He said that I was forcing her to be around you, and she doesn't want to go anywhere near you." Jennifer cried.
"It's ok mom. He can't keep us away from Molly." Justin soothed her.
"I'm going to go get a court date so we can get rid of these restraining orders." Melanie said, as she held her hand to her cell phone. She walked into the living room and sat on the couch.
"Restraining orders? As in more then one?" Debbie asked. Jennifer pulled back.
"He sent one to me and Brian." Justin said. Jennifer let out another cry and hugged Justin. Brian called Cynthia to start calling the rest of his legal team to work with Melanie, and to get something done as soon as possible. "I'm so sorry mom." Justin said. There wasn't much that anyone could say to Justin or his mom. They were sorry. It was a horrible thing for Craig could do to his kids and ex-wife. Since it was late afternoon, there wasn't much that could be done. Filing injunctions or any legal action was difficult by that time of day. Brian felt terrible for the both of them. There was nothing to say that could console them. Jennifer sobbed that Molly was all alone with her father. That she wasn't told anything that was going on. How alone she must feel. Daphne came in a little bit later.
"What's going on?" Daphne asked.
"Craig filed restraining orders against us. He took Molly, and is suing for custody of her, claiming that Jennifer's an unfit mother, and that were all endangers to his daughter." Brian grumbled to her.
"Wait I got a text from her to go pick her up in an hour so I could bring her back here." Daphne said. Everyone stared at her.
"Molly texted you?" Jennifer asked.
"From one of her friends phones. She said her father pulled her out of school, so she snuck out of the house and is down the street at one of her friends. She says she's studying with her now, but wanted me to come pick her up and take her home." Daphne said.
"Did she say anything else?" Justin asked.
"She just said her dad is acting all belligerent. Lori took the baby and left last week to visit her mom, so she's not even around to calm him down. He's been drinking and shouting. So she locked herself in her room when he started pounding on it. I got worried so I wanted to come here and see what was going on." Daphne told them.
"Call her on her friends phone and let me talk to her." Jennifer cried. Melanie got up and ran over to them.
"Alright wait a second Jennifer." Melanie said.
"Please I need to talk to my daughter." Jennifer cried.
"Let's go and pick her up now and bring her back here." Justin said.
"Stop please. Both of you. Just wait a moment." Melanie said.
"I have to see her." Jennifer cried. Tucker pulled her backwards to hold her.
"I want nothing more then to go with you and pick her up and bring her back here. But we have to work around the law right now. There's a restraining order against all three of you right now. If any of you go near her, you'll go to jail." Melanie said.
"I don't care." Jennifer cried from Tucker's arms.
"Neither do I. Let that fucker come near me. I'll kill him." Justin said. Brain stepped forward.
"Justin calm down. Let Melanie talk and figure this out. She's going to take care of this." Brian said. He pulled Justin to his chest and held him there tightly.
"Daphne. Go pick Molly up. But don't bring her back to her father's house, or here." Melanie said. Jennifer cried out. "We can't make this any worse. You stay right here. I'll go with Daphne. Can she stay at your house?" Melanie asked.
"Yeah of course. She can stay in Justin's old room." Daphne said, trying to be helpful.
"Jennifer why don't you pack some of Molly's things." Melanie suggested.
"Come on honey I'll help you." Debbie said, putting her arm out for Jennifer. She followed Debbie down the hall. Melanie turned towards Justin.
"I'm doing everything I can Justin. I know you and your mom want to see Molly now, but if you go near her, your giving your father a huge advantage. Don't call her or try to contact her or go anywhere near her. Let me do my job. I can fix this Justin." Melanie told him. Justin's shoulders shook and Brian squeezed him harder. "Daphne is the safest person for her to be with. I'll get some paperwork started, and by tomorrow, I hope to have Molly back here. Once me and Daphne have Molly, I can get Carl out to Craig's house. Hopefully he's still drinking and made a fucking mess of the house, that they'll throw these restraining orders right out and Molly will be back tomorrow." Melanie said. Jennifer and Debbie came out with a duffle bag and handed it to Melanie. "Alright let's go get her." Melanie said to Daphne. She nodded, and leaned in and kissed Justin on the cheek, and left with Melanie. Daphne and Melanie got Molly safely, and drove her to Daphne's house. Carl took a couple of cops to go over and check Craig's house. Nothing had been thrown around. He was drunk, but he had no idea that Molly was even gone, and Carl never let him know that she was gone. Carl had lied and said that he got a call from a neighbor about a disturbance.
Brian brought Justin home after Jennifer went to sleep. He limped his way into the bedroom and collapsed on the bed. Brian gave him one of his pain killers. He knew it would help him sleep. They were woken up early the next morning by the police, demanding to know where Molly was. Craig had finally broken in to her room he next morning, and finally realized that she had been gone, and called the cops. Obviously seeing that she wasn't at her mothers, or her brothers houses. Justin let them know, that Daphne had picked her up, and taken her to her house, because his father was drunk and yelling at her.
By late afternoon, things had only gotten worse. Child Protective Services got involved, and took Molly with them, away from Daphne's. Not letting her stay with her mother or her father. They would only release her to another family member. The only one who lived close was Craig's brother, and Molly went into a rampage, screaming that she didn't want to go there. So Jennifer's brother got on a plane the following day and came to Pittsburg. He was staying at a condo, paid for by Brian, and in the same place that Lindsay and Melanie were staying. The only bad part was that Brian couldn't go there to see his son, because he would be to close to Molly. She would have to stay with her uncle for a week, before the court hearing.
Brian felt helpless. Justin was miserable, and there was nothing he could do for him. Justin just sat on the couch, starring into space. Brian felt terrible, but he had to leave a few times so he could go to the office. He had a few meetings that he couldn't ignore. He had to hand it to Ted and Cynthia. They were really running the place and keeping things strong. He made a mental note to give them each a raise, and a nice bonus as a personal thank you for everything that they were doing. Whenever he came back to the loft, Justin would still be on the couch. His sketchbook untouched. There was nothing that he could do. So he just sat next to Justin. He would lay his head on Brian's shoulder, and he would just sit there with him. Brian knew that was all he needed. Was for Brian just to be there for him. Just to sit there with him, and wrap an arm around him. Listen to him when he wanted to talk, or just sit there in silence.
Melanie talked with Brian about the hearing. Craig was pulling out all the stops about why Molly couldn't stay with Jennifer. That she allowed these evil people to be around their daughter. He was bringing up loads of things about her not taking care and paying attention to Molly, for being so focused on Justin all these years. That she allowed Justin, at 17, to have sex with a 29 year old. Brian was disgusted when he heard that. He was bringing up all these things about his and Justin's relationship. Melanie had even given him some documents, of stories that Craig was telling them. Ninety percent of them being made up. Lies like, Jennifer allowed Brian to sleep over. When he had to give them to Justin, he was disgusted. He was beating himself up, and blaming everything on him.
When they got to the court house for the hearing, it wasn't to decide if Molly was going to live with either parent, it was just about the restraining orders, and who she would be staying with temporarily, Justin pulled Brian and Melanie aside. "I've decided something. If it's going bad in there, I want you to just make sure that Molly goes home with my mother. If that means that the restraining order stays on me, then I'm fine with that, as long as my mom gets Molly." Justin said.
"Justin-" Melanie tried to say.
"Promise me. This isn't about me. It shouldn't be about me anyways. It's what's best for Molly. And she belongs with my mother. My dad is toxic and mean. She needs to be with my mom, and if that means I have to stay away from her then I will. Promise me Melanie. You'll do whatever it takes to get her back. Even if that means I can't see her." Justin pleaded.
"Of course I will honey. I'm doing everything I can." Melanie said, and hugged him. Justin and Brian sat in the front row. Daphne sat on Justin's other side, and Brian wrapped his arm around him. Brian had hired a team of five lawyers to work on Jennifer's case. Craig's lawyer was reading a list of reasons why Molly shouldn't be allowed in Jennifer's house. Each one worse then the next. Brian was just disgusted with how easily it was to lie. Melanie smiled at Jennifer, and then stood up. "Your honor. I am not only Mrs. Taylor's lawyer, but I have the unique privilege of knowing Mrs. Taylor, and Justin Taylor for almost six years now. Since Justin was 17 years old, and Molly was just in elementary school. I'm not just a lawyer who will defend my client, I'm the lawyer that while listening to that list of reasons why Molly isn't safe with Jennifer Taylor, I can pick out which of those are lies that Craig Taylor is spouting off." Melanie said. Craig's lawyer jumped up.
"Objection your honor." he yelled, but the judge held up his hand. His lawyer sat back down.
"As I was saying. Jennifer Taylor, is a very classy, eloquent woman. She is a very loving, caring and nurturing mother. Who quite frankly has inspired me over the years as a mother myself, and made me very jealous of Justin Taylor, for having such an amazing mother. Justin and Molly are lucky, to have this outstanding woman as their mother. She fights for them. She takes care of them. I can keep going on and on about Jennifer Taylor, I can use all the fancy words in the world. When it comes down to it, Jennifer Taylor provides and loving, stable, calm and peaceful home for Molly. She provided a loving home when her son Justin still lived with her...There are many reasons on there, having to do with Justin Taylor and Brian Kinney. We would be here all day if I had to sit here and defend each lie that Craig Taylor is telling about them. But neither of them live at Jennifer's house. They each have their own life. Up until recently, Justin was still living in New York. They aren't at Jennifer's house every day. And even if they were, Justin who is just like his mother, brings happiness to Molly's life. She loves her brother...but, my client Justin Taylor, has said that he will stay away from his mothers house, to insure that Molly gets to come home to his mother. Because as Justin Taylor just said to me outside this courtroom, this isn't about Justin. It shouldn't be about him anyways. This is about what's best for Molly. And we all know what is best for Molly. A loving, stable home. And that's what her mother provides for her. Molly Taylor snuck out of the house last week, because her father was screaming in a drunken stupor. She locked herself in her room and snuck out the window, and he didn't even know she had left until he broke into her room the next day. She got ahold of Justin's best friend, Daphne Chanders, and went home with her. Molly Taylor freaked out and screamed when she found out that she had to go home with Craig Taylor's brother, Connor Taylor. But she settled down when Jennifer Taylor's own brother, Adam Montgomery, came to take her. Jennifer and Justin's side of the family, provide calm and stability. And love. While we are waiting for a court date to decide on custody of Molly, I ask that you drop the restraining order on Jennifer Taylor, and let Molly go home with her mother. And even though Justin Taylor has asked me not to, I ask that you drop the restraining order on Justin Taylor and Brian Kinney. Justin is her brother and loves her very much. And having a restraining order on Brian Kinney is laughable. He rarely sees Molly, and has always been on his best behavior whenever she is around. I ask you to please let Molly go home with her mother." Melanie said, and sat down. She smiled at them as she stared ahead.
"I would like to hear from Molly Taylor." the judge said. Molly had been sitting at the other table. Craig had been advised to sit behind her in the first row. Molly stood up.
"Molly. Where would you like to go? To your mother or fathers house?" the judge asked. Molly looked over at her mom.
"With my mom." Molly said. The judge nodded her head.
"And what do you think about everything's that been said, from both your mother and father's point of view?" she asked. Molly's eyes widened.
"I honestly haven't heard any of that stuff my father said. I don't ever remember Brian being in the house when my parents were married. I didn't know any of this. But I feel like I have a home when I'm with my mom. And Tucker doesn't bother me. He's really nice and we all have a lot of fun together. And Justin just came home, and I miss him and want to spend time with him. And all that stuff I've heard about Brian...I don't really know him that well. He's always been really nice to me whenever he's been at my house, and my mom loves him. My mom kept me out of all that drama." Molly said. The judge smiled at her and nodded.
"Alright you can sit down." she said. Molly sat. "I'm going to be taking off the restraining orders on Jennifer and Justin Taylor, and Brian Kinney." the judge said. Jennifer let out a cry and Justin leaned forward to put a hand on her shoulder, smiling at her. "And I will be releasing Molly into the care of her mother." the judge said. Jennifer cried again and Justin stood and leaned over the wall to hug her. "In the meantime, Mr. Taylor will only be able to have supervised visits with Molly until the later court date. Court dismissed." she said. The lawyer yelled, and Molly jumped up and ran over to her mother.
"Oh God sweetie I'm so happy to see you." Jennifer cried. Brian watched Justin's face. He was so relieved. Melanie stood up and walked around to them. Justin just stared at her and she hugged.
"Thank you so much." Justin said.
"Melanie thank you so much." Jennifer cried. Justin pulled back and let Jennifer hug Melanie. Molly ran around, pushing Brian out of the way, to hug Justin.
"Alright. How about we all go back to the Diner for a celebratory dinner. On me." Brian said.
"You own it, you never have to pay." Justin joked.
"If it's on you why can't we go somewhere expensive?" Molly asked. They burst out laughing at her. Brian pulled Molly towards him.
"Alright little sister to be, how about you pick somewhere?" Brian asked.
"Oh no don't let her pick. She'll pick that God awful Italian restaurant with the singing waiters" Tucker said. Brian and Mel exchanged a bemused look.
"I love that place." Molly whined.
"The Liberty Diner it is." Brian cheered. Craig walked up to them then.
"Get your fucking perverted gay hands off my daughter." Craig sneered, going to hit him. Brian pulled Molly back, but Justin and Tucker stepped in front of the two.
"What the fuck is the matter with you?" Justin demanded.
"Don't do this right now." Craig's lawyer advised.
"That pervert has his fucking paws on my daughter." Craig said. His lawyer pulled him back.
"And what do you think I'm gonna do to her?" Brian demanded. Tucker pulled Molly back and out of the court room, as Jennifer stepped forward.
"Will you shut the hell up and stop embarrassing yourself and making a scene. What is the matter with you?" Jennifer cried.
"You let all these fucking faggots into your home, corrupting our daughter. You let these perverts into your house while your daughter is there." Craig said.
"I need you to walk away. Now." his lawyer said.
"You let this pervert molest our son and didn't give a shit." Craig said. Justin stepped forward and got right into his face.
"You fucking bastard. He didn't molest me. I never told him how old I was when we met. And he loves me. He never hurt me. He paid for my college education while you stood there and told me to go to Dartmouth and be straight. You can't even deal with the fact that your own son prefers guys over girls." Justin said and leaned in real close to his father, and lowered his voice. "I like cock. I love cock. I love sucking cock. I love getting fucked in the ass by cock. I love sticking my own cock in some tight guys ass. And I love to fall asleep with Brian's cock still in my ass." he whispered. It was like Brian was watching in slow motion, and couldn't stop it. Craig pulled his arm back and punched Justin in face, sending him reeling into Brian. Brian couldn't even hold himself up, and went tumbling backwards into Melanie, and the three went flying to the floor. Craig's lawyer couldn't stop him as Craig went flying and went to jump onto Justin. Brian couldn't defend himself with his arms, because Justin's body was preventing him from that, but Brian used his left leg to hit Craig as hard as he could when he came down. His foot hit him right in the chest. It was enough of a blow to make him pause long enough for the security guards to come rushing in. Craig was able to get one more punch into Justin. It only hit him in the stomach, but two security guards pulled Craig off of them, and pulled him out of the room, screaming. Tucker had come running back in and he and Jennifer helped Justin stand up. Brian rolled off of Melanie and they slowly stood up.
"BRING CRAIG TAYLOR DOWN TO THE POLICE STATION!" The judge yelled. She had been standing there watching the whole time.
"Oh my God are you ok?" Jennifer cried. Justin's nose was gushing blood. Tucker ripped his jacket off and wrapped it around Justin's head. Some time when he fell, he hit the side of his head, and that to was bleeding.
"Oh my God." Melanie cried. Brian was trying to stay focused. His head was pounding and his back and hand were fucking aching. Melanie was sitting down holding her head. She pulled her hand forward and her head was bleeding to.
"Oh my God." Jennifer cried, looking at Melanie. She ran over and tried to help Melanie stand up. "Your bleeding to." Jennifer said to Brian. Brian didn't know where he was bleeding exactly. But after a moment he tasted it. He spit onto the floor and blood came pouring out.
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?" someone yelled. Carl and Debbie has just ran in.
"We have to get these three to the hospital." Jennifer said. They helped the three into the cars and rushed them off. After a few hours they were able to put all the damages together. Craig had hit Justin so hard, that it broke his nose. But he hit his eye and cheek to. Luckily his eye would just be black and hurt like hell, but nothing else was broken. When they fell, Justin hit his head on one of the chairs, cutting it open and needed stitches. And Justin had a bruise on his stomach from where his father had hit him. They had already checked, and he didn't have any internal injuries. Just a bad bruise. When he went flying back into Brian, he hadn't been expecting it. Brian's whole left arm was a mess. Justin snapped his middle finger, so Brian's middle finger was in a finger brace. He somehow twisted his wrist, banged his elbow and popped his shoulder out of place. So his whole left arm was wrapped up and in a sling. And his back was a fucking mess. They told him he would need a chiropractor. And he had bit his lip when he fell, and Justin's head knocked into him so hard that his tooth broke. Melanie had cut the back of her head open, and had a concussion from hitting the floor so hard. And she had banged her hip so bad that she couldn't put any weight on her leg. The three of them laid side by side on beds in the E.R. when Lindsay, Michael and Ben came running in to see them. Lindsay went straight to Melanie's side.
"What the hell happened. Ma called me in such a panic. We left the kids with Hunter to get down here." Michael said, starring at the three of them.
"Justin loves cock." Brian said from his spot on the bed. He wasn't opening his eyes to see anyone.
"Um...what does that have to do with anything?" Ben asked.
"It's what he said to his father. So his father punched him. It was a real domino effect. He hits Justin, Justin falls into me, I fall into Melanie, and we all fall down together." Brian grumbled.
"He's turned into such a monster." Jennifer cried from where she was sitting in between Justin and Brian. Debbie walked over and wrapped her arm around her shoulders.
"Damn straight he is. Carl already took their statements. All three of them are pressing charges. He's not only getting in trouble for this, but he's gonna lose his own daughter, just like he lost his son. And the fucking judge was standing there the whole time. Saw the whole thing. She had him sent right to the police station. She's going to put him away for a long ass time." Debbie said.
"Well it's a good thing it was all done in front of the judge. This only makes your case that much better." Tucker said.
"Where's Molly?" Ben asked.
"The judge sided with me. All the restraining orders are gone. Daphne brought her back to my house. Molly never saw the fight." Jennifer said sadly.
"I just want to go home." Melanie moaned.
"Can they leave yet?" Lindsay asked.
"Yeah we were just waiting for you guys. I figure someone will have to stay with these two." Debbie said to Michael, pointing to the boys.
"We don't need a babysitter." Brian complained.
"Sunshine is still limping from the fucking nail last week. Look at his face now. He can't even open his eye and he has a fucking nose brace on his face. Are you going to take care of him? You can't even move because of your back, and your one arm down. You need a fucking care taker until you can take care of Sunshine. He was never this banged up until you started taking care of him." Debbie complained. Brian finally opened his eyes and stared at her.
"He's fucking clumsy. He ran into the nail. I didn't know I had to baby proof the fucking house before he went in. And it's not my fault he's hurt now. It's his fucking father. He's going to pay for this. He broke my tooth. No one messes with anything on my fucking face and gets away with it." Brian said.
"Brian shut up!" Lindsay said. Brian looked over at her. "And stop saying all that in front of Justin." she hissed. He raised his good arm.
"HE'S FUCKING PASSED OUT. HE'S THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN SLEEP THROUGH ALL THIS PAIN!" Brian yelled.
"Will you shut the hell up. Your in a fucking hospital." Debbie said, smacking his good arm down.
"I am so not taking care of him." Ben said.
"I'll stay with them." Michael regretfully said.
"When can they leave?" Lindsay asked again.
"Once you all got here. Carl already went ahead to the pharmacy and got their pain meds. Someone wake up Sunshine. And get them all wheelchairs." Debbie said.
"I don't need a fucking wheelchair." Brian said.
"Like hell you don't. You can't even walk your back hurts so bad. Just lay back until we can get you a wheelchair. Fucking asshole." she said as she walked away with Michael and Ben. Lindsay and Jennifer just looked at each other.
"Are you ok?" Lindsay asked.
"No I'm not ok. My fucking tooth is broken-" Brian tried to say.
"I wasn't talking to you. Just lay back and shut up." Lindsay told him. He huffed as he laid back. "Are you ok Jen?" Lindsay asked. She had been sitting back crying.
"My ex-husband just attacked my son. Look at his beautiful face. You can't even see it." Jennifer said sadly.
"What about my face?" Brian asked.
"Brian shut up." Lindsay told him. Jennifer turned and looked at Brian, and brushed some hair away from his face.
"I'm sorry you got hurt to." she said gently. He smiled at her, and then glared at Lindsay. Michael, Debbie and Ben came back in with wheelchairs.
"Alright you think you can manage getting into the chair?" Michael asked Brian. Brian nodded and tried to sit up, but couldn't do it. Michael rolled his eyes and helped Brian into the chair, with him groaning the whole time.
"Fucking pain killers didn't do shit. I'm suing his fucking ass." Brian complained. Ben had helped Melanie into her chair.
"What are we gonna do about Justin. The pain killers they gave him for his nose just put him right to sleep." Jennifer said.
"Me and Michael will get him." Ben said. They helped move Justin into the chair who just slumped over. It wasn't as easy getting him into Tucker's car, which was the easiest car to get him in to. Mel and Lindsay's van wasn't easy if he was passed out.
"How are we going to get him into the loft?" Michael asked.
"Throw Sunshine over the Professors shoulder Michael. He always wanted a big strong man to carry him up to his tower and have his wicked way with him." Brian said from his seat in the backseat next to.
"Will you just shut up." Michael said.
"I am so tired of his mouth." Debbie said.
"I have a fucking right to complain. I'm in pain because this fucking asshole decides to beat the shit out of his own son, and I have to pay the price yet again. Because he can't deal with the fact that HIS SON IS GAY!" Brian yelled.
"Stupid fucking prick." Melanie grumbled. Lindsay looked at her.
"Thank you. See, someone understands me today." Brian said.
"I have a fucking concussion and a bruised hip because of him. Let Brian kick his ass." Melanie complained.
"THANK YOU!" Brian said. Lindsay, Debbie, Michael and Ben all stared at each other.
"Oh this is fucking nuts. Mortal enemies are on the same side, Brian's bitching louder then usual, and Sunshine is just laying there fucking passed out." Debbie said, covering her face with her hands.
"Someone take a God dammed picture." Brian said.
"Aren't you annoyed with his complaining?" Lindsay asked Melanie.
"He's just bitching for all three of us. I'm to tired to complain and Justin is to high from pain killers to bitch. More power to Brian. Get angry for all three of us." Melanie said. Lindsay covered her face.
"RIGHT ON SISTER!" Brian yelled.
"Alright let's get them home. Just drop me and Michael off at the loft." Ben told Carl. He and Michael went with Carl and Debbie, Lindsay took Melanie, and Tucker took Jennifer, Brian and Justin.
"Is he going to complain the whole time." Tucker asked Michael and Ben.
"I would most definitely count on it." Brian said. Brian was in to much pain to stand up on his own, so he had to lean on both Michael and Tucker to make it upstairs. Ben hoisted Justin over his shoulders, like Brian suggested. Jennifer moving his face so he didn't hurt Justin. "Michael get me my phone." Brian grumbled. Michael did as he was told and handed it to Brian as they stood in the elevator. He took a picture of Ben. "Turn him around so I can take a picture of his face." Brian said.
"For the love of God will you stop that?" Debbie asked.
"Sunshine is gonna love this. Now fucking turn him around before I start singing the worst version of Celine Dion's Titanic that you ever heard." Brian ground out. Ben turned around so Brian could snap the picture.
"BEN!" Michael scolded. But Ben didn't care.
"I don't feel like fighting with him." Ben said.
"Thanks Zen Ben." Brian said,smiling at him. They carefully laid both the guys down in bed.
"If you wouldn't mind just driving me back, I can pack some things for Michael to stay here for a few days." Ben asked Carl.
"Of course." Carl said. Michael helped Brian out of his pants, and made Michael and Ben help Justin out his clothes till he was just in his underwear. He still hadn't woken up.
Justin didn't wake up till later that night, moaning in pain. Brian was passed out by then on his own pain killers, and Michael was the only one there. So he got up and ran over to him. "Hey Justin's it's ok. Your at the loft." Michael said.
"Oh my God. My nose." he breathed out.
"I know. It's broken. Here I have some really strong pain killers. This will make it go away." Michael said. He helped Justin swallow it, but Justin was still groaning.
"I have to pee." Justin groaned.
"Ok come on I'll help you to the bathroom." Michael said. It was a good thing that he stayed near him, he was wobbly on his feet. He got him to the toilet and as long as he had a hand on the wall he was fine, so he stepped out of the bathroom. But then helped him back into bed.
"What happened?" Justin asked.
"Don't you remember? Your father hit you. He broke your nose." Michael said sympathetically. Justin turned and looked over at Brian.
"How come your here?"
"You fell on Brian. He hurt his back. I gave him some pain killers a few hours ago to. To shut him up." Michael joked.
"Oh God I hurt all over." Justin said.
"I know. But just lay back. Try to relax. The pain killers are pretty strong. You should start feeling the effects any minute now. Just try and relax Justin." Michael said. And after a few minutes, he was out like a light.
