Vincent Family Drabbles Chap. 9
After a few months I got the next chapter of this story up! I've been busy with my new stories, school, and trying to get into collage. But now I finally got this up, and you should be warned this chapter has feels, so be ready.
Don't worry the next chapter will be a happy chapter. Speaking of this story this is the final part where Gary and Lucas are just friends, and as of now they are a couple. Also, I plan to do a time skip for this story, but I'm not sure how far I plan to go. I may go 2 years later, or even a year later, but I still need to do a couple more chapters before the time skip, but if you have ideas on how I can start the time skip let me know so I can get an idea.
I'm working on another new story that's only going to be on my DeviantART and my Wattpad account, so if you want to check it out there, look up Mark and Friends. Its a fanfic I'm making for my best friend.
There is a message at the end of this chapter that's pretty sad, but a huge message to pass around.
Though I hope you enjoy

Friend in Need
It's finally the weekend for Alex and Gary, and to make it fun, Lucas was spending the night. Though, Lucas has been spending the night since Thursday. It worried Gary's parents, but also worried the parents of Joey and Calem since they too had Lucas staying over the night.
"So what do you want to do?" Gary asked.
"I-I don't know play videogames. I guess." Lucas mumbled. Lucas had a reason for spending the night at his friend's house, and well it's a problem he's been having at home for over a year now, and his friends are the only ones to know about it.
"Hey." Gary said putting his hand on Lucas's shoulder. "What's wrong? Nolan problems?"
Lucas nods. "Yeah he kicked me out as usual." He said. Nolan is Lucas's mom Johanna's fiancée and in just a few weeks he will be married to her and become Lucas's new father. However, Nolan wasn't a nice guy, he abuses Lucas non-stop and even kicks him out of the house. Lucas even had injuries to prove it, but never showed his mom because a few of the bruises fade when he tried to show them, so he just gave up. "You didn't tell your parents did you?" He asked.
Gary looked down and nodded. He so desperately wanted to tell someone, but Lucas didn't want that so for this whole time, Gary, Calem, and Joey never told their parents what's been going on with Lucas and just continue hearing the stories of the pain he was going through. "No. I promised." He said.
Lucas gave a small smile and hugged Gary. "Thanks you're a good friend." He said.
Gary looked down he wasn't a good friend, a good friend would help someone with this problem, and if he's not helping Lucas with this, then how is he a good friend. But he didn't want to feel sad in front of Lucas, even though Lucas is doing the same to him, but just like always he just had to shake it off.
"So videogames?" Lucas asked.
"Videogames." Gary said and the two went to Gary's room and played video games. After playing video games, and having dinner it was time for bed. As Gary and Lucas were getting comfortable, Gary's parents, Vincent and Briana checked up on them and were worried for Lucas.
"Vincent." Briana started after she closed the door to the boy's room.
"Yeah honey." Vincent replied.
"Have you realized that Lucas has been staying here a lot more lately?" Briana asked.
"Yeah I noticed that." Vincent said.
Briana looked back into the room, and sighed. "I'll try talking to them tomorrow or if one of them wakes up." She said. Vincent nodded and the two went to their room to get some sleep themselves.
Later at night Gary and Lucas were still awake, but just lying down looking at the ceiling. "Still awake?" Lucas asked.
"Yeah, and I've been thinking what if someone did find out what's going on?" Gary asked.
Lucas stayed silent for a bit and looks down. Gary was worried when it was silence in the room. "L-Lucas?" Gary asked.
"Y-yeah I'm still here just thinking." Lucas said. Gary sighed and gave a small smile. Gary then got up for a bit, which made Lucas look up.
"I'm going to get water, want one?" Gary asked. Lucas shook his head and lied around facing the wall. Gary sighed and went into the kitchen to grab a glass of water. When Gary got downstairs he saw his mother reading a book to Victoria to get her to fall asleep.
"Hi Gary." Briana whispered as Victoria was on the brink of falling asleep.
"Hey mom. Just getting some water." He said as her grabbed the pitcher from the fridge and got himself a glass and poured the water to it.
"Gary before you go to bed I need to talk to you about Lucas." She said as she sat down in a chair. "Is something going on with him?"
Gary went silent for a bit, but decided to sit down right in front of his mother. He didn't know what to say, he had to keep Lucas's secret, even though he really, and I mean really wanted to tell, he just can't. "N-Nothing is wrong, Lucas is fine." He said.
"Well I heard Lucas has been staying at Calem's and Joey's houses as well. Is something going on at his home?" Briana asked again.
"N-No nothing is wrong with him, he's fine." Gary said almost yelling. Good thing he didn't other wise he would wake the whole house up. Gary sighed and looked down. "I'm going to bed now, night." He said as he walked to his room and closed the door.
Briana frowned feeling bad for her son, and not trying hard to help more to find out Lucas's problem. With that she went to Victoria's room to put Victoria in her crib, and go to bed to rest for the night.
The next morning, the boy finished breakfast, and just relaxed watching a funny movie, however their fun was cut off when Vincent received a call fro Nolan saying he needs to take Lucas home.
When Lucas was in the car he was nervously shaking in fear, but Gary decided to go with him home just incase. Vincent saw Lucas being nervous, but decided not to ask until Lucas was hone. "Its okay. I'll be right here." Gary said as he held Lucas's hand.
"O-ok." Lucas said nervously.
When they got to the apartment Lucas slowly went inside with Gary following behind, but stayed outside when Lucas closed the door. Gary sighed, but when he was ready to go back to the car he heard banging and Lucas yelling in pain. He heard this for 5 minutes and once it got quiet he looked through a window that looked through Lucas's bedroom. He saw Lucas struggling to get to his room, and saw him reach for cover up to put over his bruises.
Gary frowned seeing the whole thing and ran back to his dad's car. "Okay, back let's go!" Gary yelled.
"You sure everything is alright?" Vincent asked.
"Dad! Let's just go!" Gary yelled.
"Gary! Tell me what's going on right now!" Vincent yelled back.
"Its Nothing!" Gary yelled back as well.
"Gary!" Vincent yelled.
"I can't tell!" Gary yelled he then realized he left a big clue to what's going on, and just looked down with tears in his eyes. Vincent frowned knowing Gary didn't want to talk about it. So with that, Vincent drove home leaving the rest of the ride silent, except for the little whimpers Gary gave out.
When they got home Gary immediately ran into his room, but was stopped by his parents. "Gary!" Vincent yelled to get his attention. Gary just looked down and stayed quiet.
Vincent looked at Briana, and she decided to try to talk to Gary. "Sweetie. Please talk to us." Briana begged. Gary looked at his parents, and one part of him wanted to tell what's going on, while the other part only wanted him to stay silent.
"Gary." Vincent said again.
Knowing he would need to answer them in some point, he finally spoke. "What?" He asked.
"Is something wrong with Lucas?" Vincent asked.
Gary looked down and thought of what to say to his parents. "Well…" He stopped thinking of what to say next. Not only that he was starting to break Lucas's promise.
"What is it sweetie?" Briana asked.
Gary wanted to desperately tell at this point, but he couldn't he just couldn't, but he did. In his mind he heard Lucas's cries for help and the loud noise he heard earlier, and that made him tear up, and tell the truth to his parents. "You see Lucas is having a hard time with his mom's new boyfriend or now fiancé, Nolan." He started. "Its gotten to the point where Nolan beats and kicks out Lucas, that's why he's been spending the night over at our house along with Joey and Calem's."
Vincent and Briana were shocked hearing this. They never knew one of Gary's friends was being a victim of child abuse. "Does his mom know about this?" Briana asked.
Gary shook his head. "From what I heard from Lucas, Nolan was her close friend. When Lucas tries to tell her the truth the bruises are already gone, so he just gave up and now covers up his bruises and keeps this whole thing a secret."
Vincent and Briana were even in more shock hearing that Lucas hasn't told anyone about this, but were even in more shock seeing this was stressing Gary a lot. "That poor boy." Vincent said.
Gary nodded. "After Lucas told us, me, Calem, and Joey never told our parents, will me as of now." Gary said. The silence from hearing the story was cut off when Briana heard the phone ring, and left to go get it.
Gary looked down, but quickly looked at his father. "Dad." He said getting his attention. "Please don't do anything stupid. Please."
Vincent's eyes widen knowing what Gary meant, killing Nolan. "Okay I won't." Vincent said putting a hand on Gary's shoulder. Gary gave a small smile and hugged his dad tight. The emotional bond then got interrupted when Briana came back into the room.
"Lucas is at the hospital." Briana said. Gary's eyes tear up when she said those words. "Calem called me, and told me the doctors told him he fell down the stairs."
Gary looked down knowing the stairs story wasn't true, and that Nolan did something to him again, and it was worse. The family dove to the hospital, and they saw Lucas in bed with bandages all over him and a black eye. Calem and Joey were looking down, but when Gary and his family got there they looked up.
"Calem! Joey!" Gary yelled running to his friends.
"Gary!" Calem and Joey yelled back. Gary ran pass them and went to Lucas and saw up close he was in bad shape.
"What happened?" Gary asked.
"Nolan pushed Lucas down a flight of stairs, after beating him again." Calem explained.
"Lucas argued with him and it caused this to happen." Joey explained what caused Nolan to get Lucas got into this condition.
Gary tears up and clenches his fist in anger hearing what Nolan did to his best friend. He wished he could have had Lucas stayed a little longer, and none of this would of happened. Briana and Vincent also felt bad for the four friends, seeing Lucas suffer from this and seeing it now for the first time made them nearly cry.
"Lucas would of…would of." Joey couldn't say 'die' because thinking of that word made him tear up, and he rarely cried. "He would of died, if no one came." Joey cried.
Calem rubbed Joey's back as Gary looked down and saw Lucas in the bed again, and saw he started to wake up. The boys looked at each other and went over to Lucas asking him questions in hopes he didn't loose his memory.
Outside the room, Briana and Vincent looked down seeing the boys go to their friend in tears. "Vincent? What are we going to do?" Briana asked.
"I don't know." Vincent said. He looked at the boys for a bit and thought of what he can do to help.
Back in the room with the boys Lucas gave them a small smile despite the condition he was in. "Hey you guys will tell your parents I just tripped and fell, right?" He asked.
The boy's eyes widen seeing that Lucas still wants this to be kept secret despite the condition he's in. Gary looked down and tears up knowing he broke his promise, but decided not to tell Lucas. Calem and Joey also were tearing up seeing Lucas still wants his abuse to be kept a secret.
"You kept your promise right?" Lucas asked seeing the boys looking down and feeling guilty that they didn't do anything yet.
"You still want us to keep the promise, despite what happened?" Joey asked tearing up even more.
Lucas nodded and smiled. "Yeah I'll be fine. Don't worry." Lucas said.
Calem and Joey looked at each other worriedly, and saw Gary looking mad on how Lucas was acting. Vincent who was watching the whole thing decided to come in to check on the boys.
"Lucas." He started. "How are you feeling?" Vincent asked.
"I-I'm fine I just feel down the stairs." Lucas explained sitting up wincing in pain.
Vincent sighed and looked at Gary at what else he could say with him. Gary looked down, but said nothing. This scene caused Lucas to know Gary broke his promise.
"Wait! Gary don't tell me." Lucas started looking upset. Gary looked down in regret, he did the right thing, but he felt guilty for breaking Lucas's promise. "You promised!" Lucas yelled.
"They made me! I couldn't help it!" Gary yelled back.
"You could of tried!" Lucas yelled back. "I thought you were my friend!" Lucas started tearing up as well.
"I am!"
"Then why couldn't you keep a secret!?"
"Because he was worried about you!" Calem yelled breaking the argument between the two friends. "We all are." Calem said softly as he sniffled wiping his tears away.
"Calem…" Lucas said softly.
"Don't you get it Lucas!" Joey yelled causing Lucas to look at his other friend. "We kept it long enough, if he just hit you that's fine, but this? Look at you Luke!" Joey yelled.
Lucas looked at his arms and saw the bandages wrapped on them. Seeing his wounds caused him to look down. Vincent came by and rubbed his back, which caused him to look up.
"Lucas you need to tell someone about this." Vincent said.
"I can't" Lucas said looking down.
"Why!" Gary yelled finally getting everyone's attention. "So we can be quiet so the next time this happens your not alive!"
"I just can't you have to understand." Lucas said tearing up.
"Why!" Gary, Joey, and Calem yelled.
"Because then I'll be taken away! And I don't want to loose my mom!" Lucas yelled as he broke down crying. The three boys now knew the real reason why Lucas wanted all of this quiet, he didn't want to be separated from his mom, and that's all Lucas had.
"Lucas you won't loose your mom." Calem said sitting next to Lucas in his bed. "If you tell someone, your mom will dump that man's ass."
Lucas looked down and wiped some tears away. "How can she, she won't believe me." Lucas said in a soft voice.
"Your mom will know." Joey said giving a small smile.
"Joey is right. If we keep this secret. It's going to get worse." Gary explained as tears fell from his eyes. "If we keep this secret quiet it's going to get worse, and we'll loose you."
Lucas looked down and saw how worried his friends were about him. He was so worried about loosing his mom that he forgot about the worries from his friends. "You guys are really worried about me?"
The boy's nod, and Lucas gave a tiny smile. "Okay you can tell." He said. Calem gave a small smile, grabbed his phone and left to go outside to call his dad to report the abuse.
An hour later, everyone was outside Lucas's door ready to leave, when a young women with glossy black hair came running in, who was Lucas's mom, Johanna. "Where's my son!" She yelled. Gary pointed to the room, and she ran in. "Lucas!" She yelled.
Lucas looked up from his magazine, Gary gave him and saw his mom. Johanna tears up seeing the injuries and ran to hug her son. "Mom?" Lucas asked.
"Lucas!" Johanna yelled. "Oh my baby! My baby!" She cried.
"Mom its okay. I'm fine." Lucas said trying not to worry his mom a lot more.
"I'm sorry for not believing you! I should have listened. When I saw the police officers at the apartment, and once I heard what happened I ran all the way here." Johanna explained as she cried.
"Y-You did?" Lucas asked.
"Y-Yes." Johanna replied. "And don't worry." She wiped the tears away. "I'm not letting Nolan come back anymore I dumped him and called off the wedding."
"You mean it." Lucas said giving a real smile for the first time today.
Johanna nodded. "Yes I mean it. Please forgive me Lucas."
Lucas smiled and hugged his mom back. "I forgive you." Johanna smiled and hugged Lucas tighter.
Gary saw the loving relationship through the door and smiled seeing everything is okay.
A week after the incident it was dinnertime, and Gary was finishing up. "So." Vincent started. "How is Lucas now?"
"He's doing fine. Nolan got 25 years in prison, and Lucas's mom got a restraining order on him" Gary explained.
"That's wonderful." Briana said.
Gary smiled, but frowned again when something else bothered him. "Dad." Vincent then looked at him. "Why did Nolan hurt Lucas?" Gary asked.
Vincent and Briana went silent because they didn't know the answer. They wished they did, but they didn't. "I don't know son. I don't know." Vincent said.
"I wish I know so I could of I stopped it." Gary said. Vincent looked down too, but looked up when Gary hugged him. Vincent smiled and hugged Gary back knowing he will never harm him, Alex, or Victoria.
Gary also know, and you should know as well that if anyone, his friends, or even a classmate is ever in this kind of abuse he should tell someone instead of being quiet about it because he knew now Lucas would be alive the next day since he told and if he didn't he would of lost his best friend.
So tell someone if you or someone else you know something like this is going on.
