Three days have passed and Reid has spent most of his time with Luke at the hospital because Luke was afraid to let him leave. Finally making it to the apartment he shared with Kate and Chris he went right to his room and drooped like a log on the bed, completely exhausted.
"Hey how is it going?" Chris asked coming into his room.
Reid moaned. "I'm just so tired. Luke is still pretty shaken up and I really want to be with him but they kicked me out. They said I spend too much time there."
"You do." Chris said. "Maybe you should just stay home and get some rest."
Reid sat up. "I know and you're right but with him being there alone scares me to death."
"You don't have anything to worry about." Chris said. "Connor is gone and Luke is going to be okay."
"I just got a bad feeling in my gut." Reid said.
Chris was about to answer but there was a knock at the door. "Hang on." He went to answer to door. He was met with two police officers when he opened it. "Um may I help you?"
"Is Reid Oliver here?" The officer said.
"What is this about?" Chris asked.
"Hey who is it?" Reid said coming into the room but when he saw the officers he stopped. "What's going on?"
"We need you to come downtown." The officer said. "You're not arrested we just need to ask you some more questions."
"But I already gave my statement to another officer." Reid said walking over to them.
"I understand that you did but I have orders and I have to bring you in." The officer said. "Please sir."

Police station
Reid was sitting in an interrogation room alone. He's been sitting there for about 20 minutes. He looked up when the door opened and a man walked in. "Sorry to bother you Mr. Oliver but I just wanted to ask you a few more questions about the incident." He sat down. "Now start from the beginning."
Reid sighed. "I was at home when Luke called me saying that he was in trouble. He needed me so I dropped everything and went over to his place. When I got there Luke was lying on the floor while Connor was standing over him with a gun. I charged at him, we fought over the gun and it went off. I didn't mean to kill l him, it was an accident."
"I'm thinking that you had a second agenda about this." He said. "I think you wanted him dead so you could be with Luke."
"You don't know what you're talking about." Reid said. "I hated him but I never wanted him to die. I just wanted to get Luke away from him. Connor was abusive with Luke and if you don't believe me just ask around. I'm not a killer."
"You're not a killer." He said. "Then why is Connor dead now?" He yelled. "His blood is on your hands."
"Barnes!" Another officer said coming into the room. "We have everything we need, cut him loose."
"Why?" Barnes said standing up.
"We got statements from some of their neighbors. "They confirmed that Connor was abusive with Luke and even witnessed him being threaten with a gun." He said. "I just came from the hospital where I got Luke's statement, it was an accident." He looked at Reid. "You can go and this won't happen again."
When Reid left the room he saw Holden. "Man I'm so glad to see you. I thought I was getting charged with murder."
Holden smiled. "I told you that you didn't have to worry about anything. Luke has been calling me all day asking about you so why don't I take you to the hospital."
Hospital
"They seriously took you to the police station?" Luke asked.
Reid nodded. "Yeah but everything is okay now so you don't have to worry about anything. I seriously have to thank you dad for everything he's done for me. If it wasn't for him I probably wouldn't be here right now."
Luke sighed. "I'm just glad that it's all over."
Reid smiled. "Me too." He looked down.
"What is it?" Luke asked.
Reid sighed. "I just can't help but think that none of this would have happened if I was here with you. You wouldn't be here now and I'm so sorry."
"It's okay." Luke said. "All that is behind us now and we can finally move on and be happy together."
"I was always happy when I was with you." Reid said looking back up at Luke.
"Me too." Luke said. "So what are we going to do now? I don't want to go back to that house."
Reid laid his head down on Luke's bed. "You can stay with Chris, Katie and me. Only for a while then maybe we can find our own place."
"Are you serious?" Luke said. "Oh my god I would love to live with you. You know when we were dating before I use to think about our future together. What our dream house would look like and how many kids we would have, our wedding day."
"Wow." Reid said smiling. "You've already have planned our whole life together."
Luke laughed. "I know."
"Do you still think about it?" Reid asked sitting up.
"I never stopped." Luke said. "Even though you were gone I somehow knew that you were coming back."
"I never once stopped thinking about you." Reid said. "You are the best thing that's ever happened to me Mr. Snyder."
"What about your career?" Luke asked.
"I love being a doctor but when it comes to you there is nothing I love more." Reid said taking Luke's hand. "I love you so much."
"I love you too." Luke said.
Reid stood up and pressed his lips to Luke's. Kissing Luke felt like it always did, amazing. Pulling back he rested his head against Luke's. "I don't know what I would do if something were to happen to you."
Luke reached up and wrapped his arm around Reid's head. "Good thing we don't ever have to find out." He pulled Reid into another kiss.
Reid finally pulled away from Luke. "As much as I would love to sit here and make out with you, it's not good for you."
Luke groaned. "I'm perfectly fine Reid."
"Well until you're cleared to leave the hospital, I'm not convinced." Reid said. "I still love you though." He said when Luke frowned.
"Okay." Luke said. "So what do you want to do now?"
Reid shrugged. "I don't know." He then smiled. "Why do we get out of here for the rest of the day? I know you're tired of being in here."
"I would love to get out here." Luke said.
"Hang on I'll be right back." Reid said leaving the room.
When he came back they left the hospital.
…
Around eight the night Reid brought Luke back to the hospital. After helping him get settled in he once again sat by his bed. "I wish you didn't have to go."
"Me too." Reid said. "But I'll come back tomorrow, first think in the morning." He got up and kissed Luke. "I love you so such Luke Snyder."
"I love you too." Luke said.
A few kisses later and Reid finally left the hospital.
Luke laid awake in the hospital bed staring at the ceiling, thinking back on the past few weeks. All that he knew was that for the first time in months he wasn't afraid, he was happy. He was going to everything to make sure he never loses Reid again
