Noah had walked through Olde Town, walked around central park and back to his place he was sharing with Reg. in a way he wasn't even sure it felt like home.

He felt this tinge in his chest. As if he was having a heart attack, but all he knew it was that he's heart was breaking. He needed Luke. In a way yeah they didn't get on but it was just his charm and well good looks, caring and sensitive nature he had come to know and love.

Then he felt anger at the way Luke had treated him, but more so he's anger turned toward Reg. what did Reg do exactly to put Luke into the hospital. Why would he even dare think of harming or even lifting a finger to Luke?

He needed answers and fast but instead he sat on the couch brooding, just waiting for Reg to come home.

He wasn't sure what he was going to say or even do, all he knew that he needed was answers. Answers to what he did to Luke.

How could he even try to hurt Luke?

How could Luke even do anything to provoke Reg to want to hurt him?

These questions really didn't have answers at all for Noah right now but he knew as soon as his fiancé came I the door it was open season for the questioning to begin.


Back at the hospital Luke still lay in bed, groaning. He had been living a nightmare ever since he woke up. His mother and two grandmothers have begun fussing over him.

Lilly had been fluffing his pillows, changing and fixing his sheets just really babying him while Emma had also been doing the same but also mainly arguing with Lucinda on what type of treatment would be better for Luke and where he should stay once he got out.

It all came to a head as he shouted out to all in his room "OH JUST SHUT UP THE LOT OF YOU GOD!"

Everyone stopped, stunned by Luke's sudden outburst. Luke looked at his mums and grandmothers even stunned at his own outburst as such.

"Luke honey we are just trying to look out for you. You do know that right" his mother said trying to get him to calm down clearly understanding where his outburst had come from.

"Yes mother, but I just need to be alone and not surrounded by so many people. I am an adult you know. Yeah I have a bump or what ever on the head but that doesn't mean I am not capable of looking after myself. Besides I am in a hospital you know. Help is only a button call away" he said holding the remote for the nurses.

"Yes we know honey but we like to fuss over you. You know that. You're our little baby and….' and before Lilly could continue Luke interrupted "a baby, mum give it a rest. Just go home to dad or who ever you are sleeping with yourself and you two" He pointed over at his grandmother "Go home to and well I dunno be Susie home makers or what ever it is you guys do best. Just leave me the hell alone you hear me"

Now everyone sat stunned as Luke just looked away. Unsure but also understanding Luke's request both Emma and Lucinda grabbed there belongings and walked out of the room as Lilly stood their still trying to understand what Luke had said.

She continued to look at her son as she said "Well I don't know why I even bother some days with you Luciano Edwardo Snyder. I am your mother god damn it and I will baby you as I see fit. But if you want me to go then I will. But I will be back tomorrow to do it all again" as she gathered her things just clearly able to hear Luke's reply before leaving the room "Well goodbye then, don't let the door hit you on the way out. We only need one Snyder in this god forsaken place anyway".

Luke's world was truly at its lowest point it could even get to.


Back at Noah's place. Reg had ust walked through the door. Noah's first instinct was to remain clam and try to make out that there was nothing happening or even wrong. But in a way he also thought to himself how he could even fake that there was nothing even remotely wrong.

Turning on the lounge room light Reg was stunned and well scared by Noah's presence in the room. "Shit Noah, what are you doing sitting in the dark here baby. You scared me half to death" Reg asked Noah.

Noah didn't turn around to face Reg as he replied back "Well I needed some time to myself. To think about a few……things shall we say" his temper threatening to rise as he spat out the words.

Reg was a little worried about the way Noah had just spoken to him. He knew that he would have been told or even gone to see Luke but he had prayed and hoped Luke didn't say anything about the attack or even remember what had happened at all.

"Well I think you can help try and explain what I am thinking about. I mean I just need some answers to whether or not we can even work through this at all"

"Your not getting cold feet about the wedding are you baby?" Reg asked Noah as Noah faced to turn a very worried and pale looking Reg "Oh no I wouldn't quite say that. I am just starting to wonder if there is even going to be a wedding at all" he said with a dirty smile on his face.

Instantly Reg looked even paler. He's hands shaking; he's head beginning to show signs of sweat. Did Luke tell Noah what truly did happen? He had to find out.

"What do you mean baby. You're scaring me" Reg asked to Noah

Noah looked at Reg knowing all to well that Reg was shit scared and that he was getting worked up. He needed to know the truth "Well let's just say that I went to see Luke today and well yeah he told me I had to speak to you about something. I mean I am not sure why my ex let alone best friend would be telling me to speak to my own Fiancé about something unless it was something big. So it got me thinking. That's all"

Reg's eyes started looking all over Noah's face trying to search for answers or even some sort of reaction to say the least.

"Well how could you see Luke? He hasn't been at home and well Luke shouldn't be any of your concern anyway babe I should be" trying to defend his ground.

"Excuse me" Noah said flying off the couch and heading straight towards Reg as he continued "How would you know that Luke hasn't been at home then hmmm"

Reg didn't know what to even say or reply. "Umm well I uh tried to go over and speak with him about a few things and uh he wasn't at home… yeah" Reg said unconvincingly to Noah

Noah looked at Reg with one eyebrow up. He knew Reg was Lying and hated being lied to. "Are you even sure about that baby, cause I have it on good grounds that you where at Luke's place today speaking with him.

"Well maybe I did go and see him but I am sure he wouldn't remember me coming to visit him" Reg said instantly regretting what he had just said. Covering his mouth up and looking at Noah as he just smiled at Reg and said "Is there something you wish to tell me because I never said anything about him remembering Reginald?"

Reg gulped knowing all to well he was now in big shit

"Well I…..I don't know why he wouldn't exactly remember but I know that I wouldn't be that important to Luke for him to remember seeing me exactly" Reg saying trying his best to play down the situation he had found himself in

"YOU FUCKING LIAR REG. YOU SAW HIM TODAY AND YOU KNOW ALL TOO WELL HE IS SITTING IN OAKDALE MEMORIAL SO TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED - NOW!" Noah yelled out making Reg jump into the air with fright.

Reg wasn't sure what he should do. He knew he had to at least try and tell the truth but on the other hand he knew if he did he might lose Noah for good and it wasn't really a risk he didn't want to take.

Noah grew impatiently "Well come on then. Tell me the fucking god damn truth Reg"

Reg just stood their looking at Noah. He knew he had to say something. He could tell in Noah's body language he was growing impatient with him but what else was he to do. If he lied he was damned and if he told him the truth he was damned even more. It was a catch twenty two situation for him really.

Noah had enough of Reg silence. Picking his things up and walked towards the door pushing past Reg as he tried his best to stop Noah "where are you going Noah?" Reg asked.

"Well seeming as you can't tell me anything cause it looks like your trying to hide something huge from me I am going to find out from the source directly. I am sick of trying to wait for an answer that is simple really. If you want to just stand their in silence or lie than I am sticking around Reg" Noah replied.

"Wait look I didn't mean to hurt him that bad. I just wanted to frighten him, to keep him away from you that's all Noah. I never intended it to turn out like this at all honestly" Reg said trying to plead his case with sympathy to his partner.

"Your pathetic you know that. Our relationship is over. I….. I can't be with anyone who goes around trying to hurt other people because of their own insecurities Reg. I am sorry. Here you may as well have this" Noah said handing his engagement ring to Reg.

Reg just burst into tears. He knew this might happen as soon as he told Noah but he honestly prayed it wouldn't "Noah please, just please. Don't…..don't do this to me….to us….Please" Reg pleaded as Noah just looked at him and he headed out the door but not before advising Reg "No Reg its over. Pack your stuff and go. I don't care where just don't be here when I get back" Noah said as he slammed the door behind him.

Reg finally loosing it fell against the wall, tears trickling down, sobbing uncontrollably not sure how to even begin to face reality of life without his Noah…….
