Chapter 7

Reid and Luke were talking, and laughing when someone came knocking at Reid's door. He got up putting the bowl down, and ran to the door.

Hilary came in, "Reid are you busy"?

"Well I have a guest, but what is wrong Hilary"?

"Stuart from the bar called , Don is in trouble again"

"Oh God what is wrong"?

"He is drunk, and fighting with someone, I'm so tried of him. I'm not going down there at this time, I don't think I can stay any longer Reid, I can't take it"

"Go home, I will get him, it will be fine"

"No it won't be fine, I don't want him to come home. He will just fight with me, his alcohol is more important than our marriage"

"He is sick, he is a great man"

"When he is sober but that never happens anymore Reid"

"Go home, I will check on him, don't do anything yet promise"

"Ok Reid, I'm real tired of this crap, but you are the best"

"Thanks go home". Hilary left, Reid turned, "Stay here, I will be back in 20 minutes, unless you want to go"?

"I can come with you"?

"There might be trouble, I don't need your Grandma coming down on me if you get hurt"

"My Grandma has no say in what I do, I'm coming to help". Luke and Reid left, and walked to the bar. They went inside, Luke was a little scared it wasn't a place he would come to. The men were pretty rowdy, and Don was yelling making a scene. Reid walked over grabbing Don, "This is the last time Don what is wrong with you"?

"They won't give me another beer, my money isn't good enough for this dump".

Barry one of the other customers ran over, "Don don't come here anymore, we all are sick of you"

"Shut up, I can go wherever I want you jerk"

Reid turned, "Sorry Barry he is acting like a fool he has a illness". Don lost it pushing Reid knocking him into Barry, and they both fell. Don ran over, "I don't need you coming here Reid, Hilary sent you she is such a idiot"

Luke ran over, "You are the idiot, she is a wonderful woman, but you are to stupid to realize that. You hit Reid he came here to help you out, you really do have a sickness "

Reid got up just as Don ran at Luke, Reid shook him. "Do you want to walk home or do you want to be knocked out, and be taken to the hospital"?

"You think you are so cool Reid Oliver, but you are a joke you are nothing. You go to that gym everyday, you are not a fighter, you have nothing. You don't even have a girl to call your own, because you are gay, and your afraid to tell the world you are".

Reid punched Don knocking him down, "Shut up, I'm not afraid of anything, and I'm not ashamed of who I am. I hope Hilary leaves you Don, you are a total jerk, I'm never coming to help you again". Reid walked out, Luke was stunned Don tried to get up. Luke walked over helping him, "I'm sorry man, I don't know why I said that to him, I'm drunk"

"Yeah lets get you home". Don wrapped his arm around Luke, and they walked out of the bar together. Luke could see Reid way ahead he was so angry, Luke yelled for him to stop, but he kept going.
