Chapter 7

Justin P.O.V.

As I am sitting in this horribly bland room I try to recall everything that I did tonight. Did I really call Brian? Did he come and see me in the jail? Did he really tell me that he loved me?

That is the big question did Brian Fucking Kinney admit that he loved me or was it just the drugs that were in my body. Unfortunately I know that the morphine and other fun pain medicine are leaving my body and the pain is setting in me.

My chest hurts so much I can feel each letter Ethan carved into to me throbbing. My ribs are screaming to be together again and the throbbing of each bruise and burn on my body are driving me mad with pain.

I hear Sally walk in and I just look at her. Everything has happened so quickly I am still having a hard time distorting dream from reality.

"Alright Justin like I mentioned earlier you are going to go before the judge and plead not guilty. After that you and I will be meeting with the D.A. to strike up a deal for you. Before all of that though there is someone who wants to see you they have been waiting a while so I am going to let them in."

"If it is my mother or anyone other then Brian Kinney I don't want to see them. That is the only person I want to see right now."

"Well you are in luck Sonny Boy because here I am."

I cannot control myself as I leap out of the chair and into his waiting arms. The pain I feel shoot through my body doesn't matter when I feel the comforting embrace that only Brian possess.

"Brian I do not know what to say other then thank you. Thank you for being home and thank you for accepting my call I will pay for the charges and for the lawyer."

He simply squeezes his arms around me a little bit tighter and everything that matters is gone. The first time in two months I feel the one thing I have been yearning for, SAFE.

"I would do anything for you Sonny Boy so let's not worry about things to come and let's worry about what is here. I would do anything for you anything at all you just have to ask me. Things are going to be different this time around. I will not be letting you go so easily ever again. Justin I need you to look at me."

I release my arms from the spot I lodged them on his neck. I stare into his heavenly hazel eyes and I only see concern and joy to see me. I am glad that did not change between us. I know deep down that things are going to be okay from here out just because he can still look at me that way.

"I meant what I said earlier Justin. I love you and I don't care about anything other then treating you better and making everything up to you. I need you to get through this because I want to wake up everyday and have you with me. I need you to be able to survive this because I cannot without you in my life."

I do not know what exactly happens but the next thing I know I am pressing my lips against his. It doesn't take but a second before our tongues are colliding against each other. Every doubt I have ever had in life are gone because Brian Kinney loves me and I am in his arms again.

I can feel his hand sliding up y back and I hold back the wince from the pain, I know when Brian sees what Ethan did to me he will want to kill him all over again but for here and now I only care about his fingers that are now running through my hair. I can almost forget that we are in a courthouse and I have murder charges pending against me but for right now I have Brian.

His other hand lowers to my ass, not doing anything more then resting against it. I have always thought that it was a security blanket for him because any time anything gets hectic hand to my ass almost right away. Everything was just perfect until I remember that Ethan had branded his name there, a way of claiming no matter where I go or what I do, Ethan Gold will always be there.

I pull away from our kiss and I absolutely hate it, Brian has a look of sheer lust and love on his face and I hate to destroy our moment of reconnecting but he needs to know. "Brian Ethan did things to my body and I am marked everywhere. I don't think you will ever be able to see past what he did to me since I am now completely damaged and it will probably sicken you to see them."

He just looks at me like he is waiting for more of an explanation but I do not want to explain the injuries now I want to wait because at this moment I am not strong enough. I am saved from all need to explain when sally comes through the door.

"Okay boys, I need Justin to change his clothes and Brian you can go ahead and head down to the court room, it is number 4. We are getting called in 10 minutes."

I didn't want him leave but I can feel his grip loosening and I just hope I will be able to feel this again one day. "Alright Sonny Boy I will see you in the court room. I love you and I will get you out of here as soon as possible."

"I love you too Brian. Thank you again for all of this." His face leans down and captures my lips once again for a short, dare I say it, love filled kiss. Before the kiss has a chance to advance to a more passionate filled kiss we can hear sally clearing her throat to let us know that is time to go.

With a quick 'later' Brian is out the door and I feel a sense of maybe everything will be okay.

"You know Justin you are one lucky son of a gun. Brian is absolutely gorgeous and from what I can see madly in love with you."

"I am just lucky to have ever met him."

She hands me a pile of clothing and I recognize them from Ethan's apartment and I am wondering where the hell sally had got them from.

"Brian went to Ethan's apartment and got them for you. He wanted something else for you to wear and he said strips make you look fat."

I nod my head and tenderly begin to remove the jail house jumpsuit. They had given it to me to wear when I was transported from the jail house to the court house. Although I am now ashamed of my body and did not want Brian to see I am thankful Sally sent him away.

I am sitting here cuffed and waiting to go into the court room to face the judge. I am nervous but I know Brian will be there and I will get another chance to see him again, I have to be strong for him; he said he needed me to be strong.

I can hear my name getting called and I stand to wait for an officer to come and get me and lead me into the room. Once I make my way through a small hall I stand beside Sally. I can feel Brian's presence behind me giving me all of his strength. He would do that, I do not know how to explain but after the bashing he would just make me feel unstoppable when I really wanted to break down and cry.

"Justin Eric Taylor, how do you plea to the first count of murder one against you?"

"Not guilty your honor."

"If it pleases the state you honor we ask that Mr. Taylor be released with either reasonable or no bail at all." I look over to the prosecutor and I could have sworn me and Brian have had him in a threesome before.

"That is fine with the state your honor, a low bail would be understandable in this case."

The judge looks down at his papers before speaking again. "Mr. Taylor your bail is set at 20,000 cash or bond, next case."

I look at sally and she just nods her head. I then turn to look at Brian and I see him stand and walk out of the court room, although he doesn't need to be there anymore I still wonder where he could be going.

The bailiff removes me from the courtroom and is now taking me to a holding cell. I wonder if Brian is going to get me out 20,000 is a lot of money and I can not ask him to spend that kind of cash but I guess when I am going to go spend 20 to life it really doesn't seem like that much.

I am not even in the cell long enough to sit down when a guard comes and unlocks my door. "Well that by far is the quickest release I have ever seen. Taylor your bail has been paid, we just need to transfer you back to the jail and then you can be released from there. Come on Taylor move it you are going home."

I can not believe it is happening so quickly but I am so excited. One good thing about getting arrested naked is there is nothing to process out so when I finally do get to the jail I will be out soon.

After a 30 minutes drive I am sitting in an uncomfortable plastic chair watching judge Judy as they are processing my paper work.

I think over how I even got into this position and I wonder why bad shit seems to follow Brian and me. I know some of the pain we did to ourselves but talk about a fuck load of drama and craziness.

I hope Brian has respected my wishes and not contacted everyone and I hope I don't have to see them right away. I can only think about taking a long hot shower and try erasing Ethan from my body. After that going to sleep for days if not months forgetting every horrible thing I have done and gone through.

"Mr. Taylor you are cleared Officer Garcia will take you out of here." I see a big burly guard and he helps me stand up, he is gentle when he releases my cuffs and leads me through two big steel doors.

"Just follow the yellow line and you are home free."

What heavenly words he spoke and I am practically running down that yellow line. When I get to last door I hear an intercom voice. "I hope everything works out for you Mr. Taylor you do not belong here." I then hear a buzzer and I push open the door.

I am a free man, for now.
