Depressing Motives.
Part 14
Tyler was the first to wake. Reid's arm was wrapped securely around his waist while his head and nuzzled into the back of his neck. Caleb and Sarah were huddled together in a sleeping bag on the floor between the two beds and Pogue and Kate had the other bed. Everybody was sound asleep, all except him. Everybody was together, nobody had any thought as to what was going on outside of their dreams, this was as close to perfect as their life was ever going to get.
What about Reid's father. He didn't deserve to be alive; revenge was needed, just not now. But he knew that Reid would have his revenge, he would make sure it happened.
"Stop thinking so hard" Reid mumbled in Tyler's ear, while his nose rubbed against his cheek.
"I didn't know you were awake" Tyler grinned before twisting his body so he was now facing the blonde perfection lying next to him.
"Your thinking woke me up" Reid smirked before pressing his lips lighting to the brunettes.
"Did it fuck" Tyler laughed lightly before placing his hand on the blonde's slightly tight trousers.
"Tyler, not that I'm complaining, but I think we'd wake everybody up" Reid laughed, sending his partner a wink in the process.
"Reid, will you stop making such notions given our current situation. I have no idea how the fuck we are going to get this rape charge cleared" Tyler sighed, his head falling swiftly onto the blonde's upper body. Reid let out a small 'oof' noise but made no complaint to move his partner.
"Morning" Came a sing song female voice from the floor. Reid and Tyler jump started up and looked down to see a smirking Sarah staring back at them. They both scowled in return.
"Shush, woman" Caleb groaned from beside her before turning over and falling back to sleep.
"Wakey wakey!" She cheered in Caleb's ear, causing the poor boy to practically leap out of his skin and in the direction of the corner.
"Bloody woman" He mumbled under his breath once he realised that it was in fact his girlfriend, and not some secret enemy.
"Morning, man" Reid grinned at the darker haired boy who sent a glare in his direction as a reply. Tyler just smiled softly and buried his head in his boyfriends' neck, happily breathing in the scent of the blonde. God, it was amazing. Vanilla mixed with a hint of rain. How the fuck did anybody manage to get that smell naturally?
"Morning, Tyler" Pogue smirked from the opposite bed. Tyler blushed slightly, thankful nobody could really see before mumbling something that sounded like good morning in return.
"Aren't they so cute" Kate giggled before she jumped off the bed and landed next to Sarah, almost landing on top of Caleb in the process.
"Bloody women" Caleb groaned causing the whole group to laugh at him, "bloody friends".
"Morning, Caleb" The whole group screamed at him before starting once again to laugh. Sometimes, immaturity was the only way to go.
"Bloody mornings" He growled before standing to his feet and walking into the bathroom, making sure the door slammed shut in the process.
"Is he always not so good on a morning?" Kate asked while looking at Sarah with a grin stuck to her face. The blonde girl merely nodded a reply before taking off in the direction her boyfriend went a few seconds earlier.
"You still alive in there, Tyler?" Pogue asked while sending Kate a knowing look.
As a reply, he nodded. He didn't want to do anything else. If he moved, he might remember what was happening in reality. In this room, with all the people he loved, he could forget it. He could loose himself in the scent of his boyfriend and forget completely about Rachel and her quest to destroy their life together.
"Come on, baby boy, we have to get up" Reid smiled while nudging his shoulder gently into the cheek of the youngest.
Tyler let a low growl out and snuggled deeper into Reid's shoulder. He was not getting up any time soon.
"Come on" Reid laughed, placing a kiss on his cheek before nudging him once again.
As a reply, Tyler again growled at him while moving his body closer to the blonde's, He would stay in bed, and by god so would his boyfriend.
"Tyler, get your bony ass out of that bed, right now" Pogue ordered, causing Kate to laugh and a grin to form on Reid's lips.
"My arse is not bony!" Tyler snapped, raising his head so he could stare at his insulter.
"Yes it is, now move",
Tyler hissed at him before rolling on his side, his back facing all his friends. He was not moving, and that was that.
"Out" Tyler heard Caleb shout before he felt his body connect with the floor.
"You pushed me out of bed!" Tyler exclaimed while scowling at the eldest.
"Observant. Come on, get up".
Without a word, just many glares at everybody, Tyler rose to his feet and grabbed the nearest pair of jeans and a shirt. If he had to get up, he was going to make it perfectly known he was not a willing victim.
"Right, what's the plan?" Sarah asked, stepping out of the bathroom fully dressed in the clothes she had brought over last night.
"The plan is, we all go back to Tyler's. His mum said she would be on the first flight home, so she is probably there by now. Plus, the sooner we get this ball rolling, the better I'm sure we'd all feel" Reid said while walking towards the door.
Without a word, they all followed his lead.
XXXXXXXXXX
"Mum?" Tyler shouted as they all entered the house. It was a lot bigger than Reid remembered.
"Tyler, honey, I'm in my office. Please, all of you come in, I was just getting ready to call you and find out where you were" the female voice spoke back softly, and Tyler knew just from her tone, she had a smile on her face.
"Now, why don't you start from the beginning? Just so I understand fully what has happened".
"Okay" With that, Reid and Tyler began to tell her the story of how Rachel ended up in their lives. The relationship between her and Tyler, the lies about her family, the baby and finally, their relationship.
"Wow, so, erm, Tyler, I take it, your happy?" She asked while staring at her son in shock. She never once imagined he was gay, let alone dating his closest friend.
"Yeah, mum, I am" He replied while looking at the floor. He was scared of how she would react, finding out your only son was gay, and some parents just didn't take to that idea very well.
"Well son, whatever you choose to do, I will stand by you. Although I do not condone you having unprotected sex with this girl" His mother smiled, causing Tyler to smile at her in return. "Now, on a more serious note, Reid, this charge is by far one of the most serious ones. Now, this is what could happen. Tyler, I am to presume she is not exactly lacking in the intellectual side, otherwise Spencer would never have accepted her, which means she will have had time to think this through. Claiming the baby as Reid's would be bay far extremely stupid, as if there is actually a baby, DNA could prove that theory was ridiculous, thus naming her a liar in the first place. No, she will claim the baby is yours. Now, once she does that, the angle we can go at is detail about this 'rape'. She will claim you were extremely rough with her, Reid, the rougher the rape appears, the more sympathy given. So yes, this will be a very rough attack on her. Once she claims this, why was there no miscarriage? Pregnancy is a very fragile thing when it comes to rough sex, so she would have fought against you, which also means you would have been rough in holding her down, and rough while raping her. Do you see my point?"
"Yeah, I do. But that doesn't automatically call my innocence. She could say she got lucky"
"Indeed. This is why we need to prove she is lying. Do you have anything other than hear-say of her claiming her father was dead and her mother was extremely ill? She could claim you were making it up, her saying this and thus labelling you liars".
"The only other people are her family. She told them a bunch of lies about me to them, saying I was sick etc, but I doubt they would abandon their daughter for us".
"I agree. As a mother, I could never leave my child at such a time, their innocence or guilt never entering as a factor".
Suddenly, the phone started ringing, causing the whole group to stare at it in shock.
"Mrs Simms". "Yes, I understand, no that is fantastic, thank you so much". "Please, do, we are here at the moment if that suits you". "Thank you, see you soon, bye".
"Mum, who was that?"
"That, honey, was your boyfriend's miracle".
