A few days later Reid came back to the hospital. He took so long to come back because he thought he should give Luke some time. When he went to Luke's room it was empty. A nurse was making up Luke's bed and she told him that Luke checked out of the hospital. Reid left and went to Luke's house. He knocked on the door and waited. A tall built man answered it.

"Who the hell are you?" The man growled out.

Reid took a step back. "Um I'm a friend of Luke's is he here?"

The man looked Reid up and down. "Luke!" He yelled.

Luke appeared a minute later and the look on his face told Reid that he shouldn't have come.

"Who is this Luke?" He asked.

"An old guy I use to know when I worked at the hospital. He doesn't mean anything to me so you should just leave." Luke lied.

Reid sees a purple bruise on Luke's arm. "Luke, are you ok?" Reid asked.

"Look he said leave so I suggest that you do." The man barked out.

"And who are you to tell me what to do?" Reid yelled back.

"I'm his boyfriend and this is my house so if you don't leave I'll make you leave." He stepped closer to Reid.

Reid looked at Luke who was looking down. "Luke."

"Please leave." Luke said silently.

The pushed Reid back and closed the door in his face. He just stood there staring at the door. Something was wrong with Luke and he was going to get Luke out of there even f it killed him.

The next day

Reid was sitting outside of Luke's apartment waiting for the man to leave. When he saw him leaving he waited a minute then went inside. He knocked on the door and heard sniffling coming from behind it. The door opened and he was met with a red eyed Luke was now had a fresh new bruise under his eye. "Oh my god Luke."

Luke looked down. "Why did you come back Reid?"

"I had to see if you were ok?" Reid said stepping into the apartment.

Luke stepped away from Reid. "No I mean why did you come back here to this town?"

Reid's sighed "Chris called me and told me everything and he told me that something was wrong with you. So, I caught the first flight back here for you."

Luke looked down. "So if Chris wouldn't have called you would you still have come?"

"Yes the whole while I was gone I couldn't stop thinking about you. I'm sorry I left you Luke we both know it wasn't because I didn't care I just thought you didn't give Chris my heart and he died. I couldn't live with the fact that Chris died so I left. I never stopped loving you Luke and I know that you still love me. I can see it in your eyes." He reached out to Luke. "Just let me help you Luke."

Luke pushed his hand away. "No, Reid I don't need your help I just need for you to leave. Connor is going to be back soon and He can't see you here."

"Oh well I guess that's a chance that I'm going to have to take now isn't." Reid said.

Luke pushed him back toward the door that was still open. "Well I'm not so please just go."

Once Reid was outside Luke tried to shut door but Reid stopped him. "I'm not going to sit here and let him keep hurting you Luke."

Luke pushed his foot out. "I can take of myself."

"Wait" He pulled out a piece of paper and wrote his number down. "If you ever need me just call me."

Luke sighed "Reid please."

"Just call me Luke and I promise that I won't come back unless you call me here." Reid held out the piece of paper.

Luke reached out and took it. "Okay if I need you I'll call you now will you move your hand."

Reid removed his hand and Luke closed the door. He quickly left the apartment and went to car. As soon as he got in he saw Luke's boyfriend walking back with bag full of what looked like beer. Once Luke called him he made a note to himself that he was going to kill Connor. Luke wasn't drinking because he wanted to his sysco boyfriend was making him do it.
