Chapter 8

Reid got to the apartment, he ran upstairs, when Hilary walked out of her apartment.

"Reid OMG what is wrong"?

"Don really needs help but when he attacks me personally, I give up Hilary". Hilary ran grabbing his arm, "Please don't say that we need you, I need you"

"Hilary maybe you should leave him, he doesn't want help we can't make him get help for his illness"

"I know but I love him Reid, what am I going to do"? Hilary put her hand to her mouth, Reid hugged her, and whispered, "I'm just angry, I won't turn my back on you both"

"Where is he Reid"?

"I left him at the bar, but I think Luke is helping him"

"Your friend"?

"Yeah my Boss actually, oh God I better go help him, he won't survive this neighborhood, Don will get them both killed". Reid went to run down the stairs, when he saw Luke helping Don into the building. Luke was practically carrying him, Reid walked down, helping Luke.

"I'm sorry Luke, are you OK"?

"Yeah but he needs help bad"

"I know but he won't listen"

"Reid I'm sorry man, I didn't mean what I said"

"Yeah you did but it was the liquor talking, don't worry about it". Reid got him upstairs, and put him on the bed. Don whispered, "I'm going to stop, I need help" He shut his eyes, Reid was having flashbacks, of his Father, and it killed him. He got up walking to the living room.

"I think he will sleep through the night, but if you need me, just knock"

"I will Reid I'm so sorry he hurt you tonight"

"Hey it isn't the first time, but it is hard Hilary, but I know you are taking so much pain from him"

"Thanks Reid you are the best, and thank you Luke"

"No problem". Reid and Luke walked out, and went to Reid's apartment. Reid looked at his watch, "I guess I better walk you to your car, it is getting late"

"I can manage Reid, but are you Ok"?

"I'm fine but I'm walking you to your car, it might be gone"

"What"?

Reid smiled, "It might that pretty thing has no right being in this neighborhood"

"Your kidding right"?

"Not really but do you have a different car not so expensive, and flashy car you can drive down here"?

"I have three"

"Oh crap Richie Rich three, I had to save for 3 years to get my Motorcycle"

"Sorry"

"No problem, I'm just being jealous". They walked downstairs, Reid walked Luke to his car. Luke stopped, "Today was something Reid, I'm looking forward to our adventure together"

"Yeah it will be fun, see you tomorrow around 7"

"8 Reid"

"8 see you than" Luke walked around putting his key in his car, Reid waved, and was walking back. He heard a noise he turned around, and couldn't help but laugh Luke wasn't going anywhere his hubcaps were gone, his wheels were not working probably". Reid walked over, "Oh God they really did a number on your car, I'm so sorry"

"I will call a tow truck"

"Sure but if you want to spend the night you can have the couch"

"Really"?

"Sure" Luke was shaking he didn't know if it was smart spending the night with Reid, because he wanted to grab him, and kiss him, but he had to be good, and he didn't know if he could . Luke smiled, "Sure it is getting real late, maybe it would be a great idea, I will call the tow truck, in the morning". Reid smiled as they walked back to his place, and went upstairs.
