When Matt woke up, he immediately closed his eyes again. There was a semi-bright light hovering over his head. If he hadn't heard Gil talk he would have sworn he was in heaven.

"Matthew?" Gil asked.

"Y-yeah?" Matt asked, still not opening his eyes to the seemingly blinding light.

"Are you okay?" Gil asked.

"Yeah, I guess, where am I?!" Matt finally asked.

"In the hospital," Gil explained. He saw Matt's eyes finally come open and they were widened in shock. "You passed out, out of both shock and exhaustion, you're breathing fine but you weren't ready to wake up."

"What?!" Matt asked trying to remember what happened.

"What's the worst part?" Matt asked nervous.

Gil took in a deep breath, "Matthew, it seems like this is something that needs to be handled in court."

"In…court?!" Matt asked.

"Yes, we're going to court." Gil told Matt.

XXX

When Matt remembered that his eyes went wide.

"No…court…" Matt took in a deep breath, trying to calm himself down before he had another breakdown.

"Matthew, it's something that has to happen." Gil sighed.

"No, no it isn't! It didn't have to happen before; everything will be okay if it doesn't happen." Matt tried to tell Gil.

"Yes, it did have to happen before, but we just decided to do it. Try to understand." Gil told Matt.

"Understand what?" Matt asked, panicked.

"That this has to happen," Gil told Matt calmly. "There are two other boys in that house."

Matt was near tears. "But they'll be so mad at me…"

"Matthew, they won't hurt you." Gil told Matt gently.

"YES, THEY ALREADY HAVE!" Matt told Gil.

"But I won't let them now." Gil told Matt.

"…you won't?" Matt asked.

"No, no I won't. I promise." Gil said.

Matt looked at Gil. "You promise?" Matt asked.

"Yes, I promise I won't let them hurt you."

Matt had no idea where the urge came from, but he hugged Gil.

Jeff sat on the grass, pulling it out nervously. He had to stay with Shannon while Gil went with Matt. Jeff thought it was completely unfair; he was worried about Matt more than anyone could imagine.

"Are you okay?" Shannon asked Jeff.

"No." Jeff said honestly.

"I'm sure Matt will be fine." Shannon told him, taking a seat next to Jeff.

"How do you know?" Jeff asked.

"Because…I do." Shannon said.

"That makes no sense." Jeff mumbled.

"Jeff, smile." Shannon tried.

Jeff gave Shannon a "are you crazy?!" look.

"It was worth a shot." Shannon mumbled.

Jeff shook his head. "I just hope he's okay. I still don't know what Dad wanted to talk to him about." Jeff thought for a bit.

Finally Shannon said something. "Maybe his old parents got arrested."

"But wouldn't he be happy if that happened?" Jeff asked.

"Maybe he was so happy he passed out." Shannon tried.

Jeff gave Shannon another look before rolling his eyes.

"Sorry. I'm just trying to help." Shannon sighed.

"It's okay," Jeff sighed. "Thanks for trying."

"No problem. Now will you smile?" Shannon asked.

"Nice try, but no." Jeff said.

Shannon frowned. He hated seeing Jeff upset. He never liked it. It got him depressed too. He wished there was something he could say to make Jeff smile again. But Shannon knew the only thing that would make Jeff smile was Matt being okay, and Shannon didn't know how to make Matt okay.

"Wanna work on the fort?" Shannon tried.

"No." Jeff said.

"Then what are you gonna do? Sit here and tear up the grass?"

"Sure." Jeff shrugged.

Since Matt didn't have really anything medical wrong with him and he was calm again the doctors released him pretty quickly.

Gil looked for Jeff in his car and saw him, sitting with Shannon tearing grass apart.

"Jeffrey!" He called.

Jeff got up and looked in the car and when he saw Matt, that smile Shannon wanted so desperately appeared on Jeff's face.

Jeff ran up to the car.

"You're okay!!!" Jeff said when he got inside.

"Yeah," Matt nodded. "I guess I am."

Jeff waved out of his window to Shannon. Maybe everything will be okay.

Jeff smiled, happy Matt was okay yet, Jeff still had no idea they were going to court.

DUN DUN DUN! Well I hope you enjoyed the chapter! I had a lot of fun on my trip but I thought most of the time on a way to update the story. I had to stay an extra day too because of a storm though.
