Gar sat in the hospital chair sitting next to Rachael when he heard a knock at the door. He turned his head and saw his friends. Victor, Richard and Kori came in with little presents in their hands.

"Hey man, how you holdin' up?" Victor asked his blonde friend as he gave him a friend hug.

Gar sighed and sat back in his chair. "It's okay. The doctor said she'll wake up soon."

"I do hope Rachael become well. We were planning on having a slumber party." Kori said with sadness as she looked at Rachael.

The four of them sat there thinking of what to say next.

"Oh man here you go." Victor said as he looked in his bag and brought out books. "Since you're missing your classes, I thought, that as an awesome friend, I'll give you your homework." Victor said as he gave him a smile.

Gar gave him a small smile and took the books from his friend. "Thanks man."

"No prob." Victor said as he gave him a smile.

"So how's school goin' without me?" Gar asked his friends.

"It's pretty boring since we don't have someone to throw spitballs at the teacher's back when they turn around." Richard said with a smirk.

Hours passed as the friends cached up.

"Alright man, I gotta' go before my mom starts calling." Victor said as he got up from his seat.

"As do I." Kori said.

The three friends stood and said their goodbyes to their friend leaving him with his wounded angel.

Gar sighed as he turned to the sleeping girl. He stroked her cheek with his thumb as he tried not to cry.

"Please wake up." Gar said as tears started to form in his eyes.

The bright sun shone in the curtains of the hospital room. Rachael slowly opened her eyes. She squinted her eyes as the brightness shone in her eyes. She slowly turned her head but felt pain. She quietly moaned as she tried to realize where she was. She turned to the warm feeling that was on her hand. She turned her head despite the pain and saw Gar. He was sleeping at the end of her bed holding her hand. She looked confused as she remembered what happened. She moved her other arm and saw that it was in a cast. She looked down and saw a cast on her leg as well. She felt something on her head and felt that too.

"How bad did he beat me?" Rachael thought.

She turned to Gar and took her hand out of his and rubbed his head in an attempt to wake him up.

"Mmmm…mom I don't want to wake up" Gar quietly moaned in his sleep.

Rachael chuckled as she rubbed his head harder. Gar lift his head up as he turned his head and looked around. He wiped the drool off his mouth and looked at Rachael. He sat there staring at her as if she was a dream. She laughed as he stared at her. Gar turned to a big smile and hugged her.

"You're finally awake!" Gar said happily.

"Yes I am." Rachael said with a smile.

Gar looked her leaned in slowly and kissed her on her lips. He broke the kiss with blush on his cheeks and said to her "I love you."

Rachael smiled with tears in her eyes. "I love you too."

Soon after Rachael woke, the doctors ran some tests on her and saw that she was stable. She was released from the hospital with Gar. Gar and Rachael were walking down the hallways to leave the hospital.

"Hey Rach guess what" Gar said with a smile.

Rachael looked at him confused. "What?"

"Remember when I told you I would get you away from out of your house and father?" Gar said with a smile.

Rachael looked at him. "Yeah?"

"Well mi 'lady, your chariot awaits." Gar said as he gestured his hands to the car that was waiting outside near the sidewalk and saw a lady in the driver's seat waving at her.

Rachael looked at him and waved a small wave back at the lady in the car. "Who's that?" Rachael asked.

"That is my wonderful mother." Gar said with a smile as he looked at Rachael "and she agreed for you to stay with us for as long as you need."

Rachael looked at him with shock and wide eyes.

"That's right! You're living with me from now on." Gar said with a big smile.

Rachael laughed and excitedly hugged him.

Gar turned to his mother in the car and gave her a thumbs up with a smile. She gave him a big smile and gestured with her hand for them to come on.

That night, Gar got Rachael set up in her bedroom at his house. It was a big room and it was painted a bright yellow with a queen sized bed in the middle of the room. Across the room was a dresser with a TV on the top. A separate dresser was on the opposite side of the room with a mirror and a chair. There was a big window with white curtains next to the dresser with the mirror. There were also two small tables on both sides of the bed, one with a lamp. There was also a walk-in closet.

"Well, I hope you like it. I know it's not really your color." Gar said as he dropped her bags next to her bed.

Rachael turned to him and smiled "It's perfect."

Gar smiled. "My room is like right next to your room." He said. "I'll leave you alone for a little while so you can unpack or take a shower or anything. Dinner is at 6:30pm."

Rachael turned to him and gave him a big smile. "Okay."

Gar turned and closed the door.

Rachael sighed happily and lied on the bed was now hers as tears of happiness ran down her face.

Later that night Rachael helped Mrs. Logan with the dinner preparation, but it was pretty difficult since Rachael wasn't fully healed.

Rachael looked at the blonde woman. "Mrs. Logan, thank you so much for helping me."

Mrs. Logan looked at Rachael with love, something that Rachael hasn't seen in most of her life. "Don't worry about that honey, I should be thanking you."

Rachael looked at her confused.

''You made my Gar so happy. I've never seen him so happy, so thank you." Mrs. Logan said with a big smile.

Rachael looked at her with a big smile.

"Also, you got him to do his homework. His father and I bribed him with anything yet he still he didn't do it." Mrs. Logan said with a laugh.

Rachael laughed at the woman.

"Come on, let's get the table ready for the food." Mrs. Logan with a smile.

(***&***)

Rachael sat on her bed in her bedroom watching TV when she heard a knock on the door. Gar walked in wearing his pajamas which was blue pajama pants and a simple wife beater tank top. Rachael smiled as he saw him and patted the space next to her on the bed.

"So how do you like it in the Logan household?" Gar said as he laid down on the bed putting his arms behind his head.

Rachael laughed. "I like it a lot. It's way better than where I was living."

Time passed as the two just watched TV and having small talk here and there.

Gar sat up and looked at her. "Rach, I need to tell you something." Gar said with a serious tone.

Rachael looked at him nervous. "What is it?"

"I think we should turn your father in for child abuse." Gar said he looked at Rachael.

Rachael looked down at her hand for a moment as she thought.

"Maybe your right, but…What if he gets out?" Rachael said nervously

Gar looked at her and hugged her. "He shouldn't get out for what he did to you." Gar said while he held her in his arms.

Rachael stayed in his arms thinking.

"I hope he rots in there." Rachael thought.

"Alright Rach, I'm gonna' go to bed. I'll see you in the morning for school tomorrow." Gar said as he got up.

"Alright. Good Night." Rachael said quietly.

Gar turned and kissed her quickly and smiled. "Love you." He said.

Rachael smiled. "Love you too." She replied.
