Luke woke up the next morning to find Connor not there. He got up pulled out his suit cases and started packing his clothes. After packing a few up in his car he went back inside for the last two suit cases. He ran to his room and picked them up but heading back to the front door he saw Connor standing there and he dropped the bags. "Connor?"
Connor looked at the bags. "Where do you think you going?"
Luke swallowed "I'm leaving you."
Connor chuckled "You're leaving me?"
Luke nodded "Yeah I am, I'm tired of being here and I'm tired of you."
Connor started to slowly walk up to Luke. "And when did you start to feel this way?"
Luke stepped back "About a year ago I was just scared to say something but I'm not anymore. I'm tired of the way you're treating me. I don't deserve to be with someone who hits and abuses me. I'm better than that and I don't need nor do I want to be with you anymore, so I'm leaving."
"And where are you going to go huh. You have no money, no friends, no place to call home." Connor said.
Luke smiled "I have a home and it's with someone I really care about and I know that he cares about me more than you ever did."
"And who might that be?" Connor said stopping in front of Luke.
"I think we both know who that is." Luke said "I've been in love with Reid for years now and I still do love him. He asked me to run away with him and that's what I'm going to do."
"You really think that I'm going to let you leave?" Connor said grabbing Luke's arm.
"Think what you want but I'm walking out that door and there's nothing you can do to stop me." Luke picked up his bags. "Goodbye Connor."
"You're not going anywhere." Connor said squeezing Luke's arm tighter. "And you must be really stupid if you think that I'm going to let you walk out on me."
Luke tried to snatch his arm away. "Let me go Connor I'm not afraid of you."
Connor pulled him close. "Well you should be." With his other hand he pushed Luke down on the floor. "Because if you think for one second that I'm going to let you leave with that asshole you've got another thing coming." Connor grabbed for Luke but he started kicking and fighting him off. Luke ended up kicking Connor in the face. When he saw blood dribble down from Connor's lip he got up and ran. Connor was blocking the door so he ran to the bathroom and locked the door. Luke pulled out his phone and began to call Reid but jumped when there was pounding at the door.
"Open this damn door Luke!" Connor shouted
Luke held the phone up to his ear. "Come on Reid please pick up."
"Luke!" Connor shouted.
Five minutes before the phone call.
Chris walked into Reid's room and saw him out of the bed packing his stuff. "What are you doing?"
Reid looked back at Chris. "Luke's in trouble."
"How do you know that?" Chris said stepping more into the room.
"Because I have a feeling that he needs me. You didn't see Connor that day. I know what he's capable of doing and he's already got Luke drinking again what if this time he does something worse. I can't sit here while Luke in that house with him, I won't." He went back to packing up his stuff.
"You have to think this through. Last time you showed up there look what happened." Chris said motioning to Reid's appearance.
"I don't care!" Reid snapped "If I have to go through all this again just to get Luke out of there I will. I'm not going to rest or give up until Luke is away from him and safe with me." He picked up his bag and looked around the room. "Where's my phone?"
Chris looked around the room. "I don't know where is the last place you had it?"
Reid shook his head "I don't know I was-" Reid was cut off by his phone ringing. He noticed that it was Luke's ring tone and he dropped his bags and started rummaging through his bags. "I need my phone."
"Why?" Chris asked
"That's Luke's ring tone. I told him to call me whenever he was in trouble or if he needed someone to talk to. Help me find my phone Chris." Reid said.
Chris dropped to his knees and started looking through the other bag.
"Damn it!" Reid yelled and then spotted his phone and answered it. "Luke?"
"Reid I need you." Luke cried out.
"What is it, are you okay?" Reid asked heading out the door, forgetting about his bags.
"No I was going to leave him and he got mad. I locked myself in the bathroom but he's banging on it. I'm really scared Reid."
"Don't worry I'm on my way just keep talking to me." Reid said heading out the hospital doors. "We have to get to Luke's place, now."
"Okay Chris said.
Luke dropped the phone with the door finally burst open and in walked Connor. "Connor I'm sorry."
"Shut up!" Connor yelled hitting Luke across the face. "You really think I'm going to let you be with him." He kicked Luke in the stomach. "You really think I'm going to let you leave me." Another kick. "Well that sucks for you." Another kick. "Because if I can't have you nether will he or anyone else." He kicked Luke again the grabbed him by the back of his neck and dragged him out of the bathroom and to the living room. "Five years ago he left you without even a note! I took you in and gave you food. I took care of you when you were lost and didn't know where else to turn to and where was he? Probably miles away from here fucking someone else." He picked Luke up by the throat and pushed him against the counter. "You think you can just say it's over ant it will be." He picked up a knife and held it against Luke's throat. "Look at me when I'm talking to you." Luke looked at Reid. "Do you want to die Luke?" Luke shook his head. Connor pressed the head of the knife in Luke's neck drawing blood.
Luke whimpered "Please."
"Please what?" Connor yelled. He slid the knife down Luke's chest and stomach. "You know I remember the first time I saw you. You looked like a lost puppy that missed his family. It was the most pathetic thing I ever saw."
"Why are you doing this to me Connor? All I ever did was love you and I thought you loved me too." Luke cried out.
"You grew old for me and I needed to spice up this dull relationship." Connor placed the knife on the counter, drew back his fist and hit Luke in the face.
Luke fell to the ground and grabbed his face. "Stop!"
"Or what huh" Connor went to the fridge and pulled out a beer. He opened it and drank some, looking down at Luke he smiled. "I wonder how that little kidney of yours is doing?" He took the bottle and poured it on Luke face.
Luke sat up coughing and breathing heavily. Connor picked him up again and grabbed him by the throat. "You know I can easily kill you then kill you beloved. I wonder where he is now?"
"Chris you have to hurry!" Reid yelled from the passenger's side.
"I can't go no faster than the speed limit." Chris yelled back.
"Man fuck the speed limit Luke is in trouble!" Reid yelled. "Go faster!"
"Alright!" Chris yelled.
Luke laid beaten on the floor. His body was in nothing but pain and his vision was getting blurrier by the second. The last thing he saw was a foot coming toward his face. After that everything went black.
Chris pulled up in front of Luke's and before he could stop the car Reid was out and running into the building. When he got to the door he didn't wait he just kicked the door in and ran inside, with Chris behind him. He saw Luke's body on the floor and ran over to him. "Luke oh my god can you hear me?" He asked. Luke's body wasn't moving and he wasn't breathing but Reid could feel a pulse but it was barely there. "Chris we have to get him to the hospital!"
Chris pulled out his phone. "Okay I'm calling now."
Reid went back to Luke. "Hey Luke, I know that you can hear me. I need you to stay strong for me. I need you to keep fighting because I can't lose you again. I'm not going to lose you again. Do you hear me? Stay with me rich boy, stay with me."
"What the hell are you doing in my house?" Connor snarled out, a gun in his hand.
Reid looked up at him. "What have you done?"
Connor smiled "I thought that little faggot a lesson and if he survives then he'll learn not to piss me off."
Reid got up and started to walked toward Connor. "I'm going to kill you!"
"Oh yeah, last time I checked I'm the one with the gun." Connor said
Reid ran and tackled him on the ground and they both fought for the gun. Chris watched in horror as the gun pointed every which way until it went off.
Reid slowly got up and checked his body for any sign of blood but didn't see anything. He looked down at Connor and saw blood everywhere. "I killed him."
Chris ran over to him. "Reid we have to get Luke to the hospital."
"He's dead." Reid said again.
"It was self defense Reid he was going to kill you. The police are on the way but we have to go." Chris said.
"We can't just leave him here." Reid said.
"I'll stay with him until the cops get here." A voice said from the door. "You just get my son to the hospital."
Reid looked over to see Holden. "I-"
"Go Reid, well talk about it later." Holden said walking into the room.
Chris and Reid took Luke to the hospital. Sitting in the waiting room Reid saw Lilly and a lot more of their friends running up to them. He stood up. "Mrs. Snyder?"
She walked right up to him and hugged him. "Oh Reid, I'm so glad that you're okay."
Reid hugged him back. "Luke-"
"Luke is going to be just fine and it's all because of you. You saved him Reid." Lilly said.
Reid shook his head "I put him in the hospital."
"Connor did, not you." Chris said. "You didn't do anything wrong. Luke's been through a lot and he made it through because he has a powerful heart, just like you."
A/N PLEASE LEAVE A REVIRE AND THE NEXT CHAPTER WILL BE UP SOON.
