Taken In

Hey guys! Finally, the last chapter of this story. It was a good ride, but it isn't the end of the ride yet. I'm not gonna write the sequel yet, but I'll do it eventually. So, R&R and enjoy this last chapter of Taken In. ;)

Chpt. 13: Resolved

As Evan stirred awake, trying to collect his thoughts, he felt a warm body next to him. At first, he thought he was going crazy, but then remembered yesterday's events. "I'm glad you're my boyfriend." Jonathan had told him how he felt. "I am too." Evan remembered those words, like they were engraved into his brain. He heard a slight shifting next to him and looked towards Jon. He saw his sleeping form, how his face was cute when asleep. Evan thought of waking him up with a kiss, but went against it. "I'll leave him, he must be tired from yesterday's events." Evan said as he slowly got up from the floor. He stretched his stiff muscles and walked towards the kitchen. He wanted to surprise Jon with a breakfast, but wasn't a professional at cooking. Evan didn't care and got prepared to cook.

Jonathan awoke to the smell of food, but also got the powerful smell of smoke. He quickly ran to the kitchen, only to find his boyfriend with a tray full of water and a burning wash cloth on the floor. Evan gave a quick smile before dropping some water on the cloth. The cloth burned out and Evan looked up at Jon. His face was full of fear at first, but went to a bright smile and a series of laughter. Evan also laughed with him, and tried to explain what happened. "Uh, surprise breakfast?" Evan said as he shrugged and gave a small smile. Jonathan also gave a small smile and chuckled. "I don't think you'll be the cook of the house. So, where would you like to eat?" Jonathan asked as he got the burned cloth from the floor. Evan just shrugged in response. "Come on, we don't need you burning the house down." Jonathan sarcastically said as Evan playfully punched him, then gave a small kiss. "How about a cheap breakfast from McDonalds?" Evan asked as Jon gave a disgusted face.

"I saved your life once, but a second time? That food will give you a heart attack, and I don't know how to treat that." Jonathan chuckled as he hugged Evan in a warm embrace. "You really care about me, don't you." Evan responded as he looked at Jon. "I saved you from the streets of LA, of course I care about you." Jon said, the statement reminding Evan about a promise he had given. "Jonathan, I want to ask a favor." Evan said as he sat down on a chair. Jonathan gave a confused look. "Do you remember the homeless people who took me in?" Evan questioned as Jonathan nodded. "I made them a promise, that I would take them supplies to survive a bit longer. Would it be okay if we both split our money and buy supplies?" Evan asked, waiting for a response. "Sure, why not?" Jonathan cheered as he headed for his room. "Evan, change out of those clothes and put some different ones on." Jonathan shouted from his room. He quickly headed to his room also and quickly changed, ready to give his old companions a surprise.

As Evan and Jonathan waited for their turn to pay, Jonathan got the feeling of being watched. "Evan, do you feel that?" Jonathan asked as he looked around suspiciously. "No, what am I supposed to be feeling?" Evan questioned. Jon kept looking around, until his eyes caught site of the one person that caused it all. Chris started to close the distance between him and Jonathan, slowly walking towards the two men. Jonathan was about to speak when Evan spoke up instead.

"Chris, please don't cause any problems. We don't need that right now." Evan said, making Chris freeze on his spot. "Evan, please hear me out. Don't think I wanted to do all that. Love and insanity took over." Chris pleaded as he rambled on. Evan got his hand and put it over Chris's mouth. "Get over me. You had a chance before, but you lost it. Jonathan decided to take that chance and got it. So, please leave US and never bother US again." Evan hissed as he went back to the line. Chris quickly broke into tears and glanced angrily at Jon, before leaving the store. Jon knew that this wouldn't be the last time they would see Chris, but at least he would be gone for a while.

"Come on Jonathan, let's go! I'm gonna go in first and surprise them, then you come in and bring the stuff." Evan said, excited about the surprise visit. Evan quickly headed to the alley that he had been in the day he got out of the hospital. He quickly tried to find his old friends, but didn't see any of them. As his hopes began to falter, he heard a gasp coming from the back of him. Evan turned around and saw one of the women who was with him. She dropped her stuff and ran towards Evan. As the woman went in for a hug, he heard another voice come from another alley entrance. Evan then saw another man who was with him during his condition. Soon, all of the people he made friends with had arrived and greeted Evan with hugs, handshakes, etc. Evan quickly sent a text to Jonathan, giving him a signal to come.

"Guys, I have a surprise for you all. Jonathan!" Evan shouted as the other man made his appearance and came with all the goods. All the homeless people gasped as Evan gave a bright smile to them. "It's all the supplies needed to survive for a while. I got you all food, water, etc. And, I even bought a little fridge to store your leftovers in. All it requires is an electrical socket, and I see one right there." Evan said, pointing towards an electrical socket. All the homeless people were in awe and happiness, and quickly bombarded Evan with a giant group hug. "You truly are a good man Evan, what would this world be without you?" One of the women ask as Evan grins happily. "Well, I have to go, but before that, one last group hug!" Evan cheered as all of them hugged together. Jon was out of the hug, but was happy to see the scene in front of him.

"That was great, I'm happy for you." Jon said as he drove the two towards their home. What the two had not expected was a man and a woman standing at the door. Evan felt slight shock as he saw who they were. Jon knew something was wrong, seeing the shock in his boyfriend's face. "Evan, do you know those people?" Jonathan asked as Evan nodded. The two men got out of the car and Evan headed towards the man and the woman. "Why are you guys here?" Evan asked as the two people turned around at the familiar voice. The three looked at each other for a moment, before going into a hug.

"Evan, we're sorry we weren't there when you needed us the most. Ever since mom and dad died, Jamie and I weren't doing so well. A few days after that, we went to go visit you, but you weren't at your house. We tried to call, but you never answered." Evan heard his sister say that, and looked into his phone contacts. It was a new phone, unlike his old one that had everything.

"Lynn, the reason why I never answered was because I had amnesia, for about three months. I got hit on my forehead, and couldn't remember what had happened to me. It was the couple days after mom and dad's funeral. I accidentally ticked off a guy on the street and he accidentally pushed me, and I hit my head on a ledge." Evan explained as his siblings were focused on his explanation.

"Oh god, we're sorry we weren't there to help you!" Lynn said as she started to cry into Evan's shoulder. Evan just pat her back and kept her in the hug. He suddenly felt a third body go into the hug, and saw it was his brother. "Evan, we're really happy you're okay. We feel guilty for doing that to you. We actually thought you moved somewhere else, so we didn't bother to find out. After the three months, we decided to see if you were in LA still, so we asked around for you. A guy by the name of Chris told us you lived here with your new… Uh, boyfriend." Jamie gulped as he looked over at Jon.

"So, is that him over there" Lynn asked as she also looked over at Jonathan. Evan mustered all the courage in him, and answered. "Yes, that's him." Evan mumbled, but didn't expect Lynn's response. "He's cute, and looks like quite the handy person to have around." Lynn answered as she looked at Evan's blushing face. She made a small giggle before heading over to Jonathan. "Hi, my name is Lynn, I'm Evan's older sister." Lynn said, introducing herself as she waved Jamie over. He quickly headed towards them and held his hand out for a handshake. Jon quickly returned it. "My name is Jamie, I'm the youngest of us three."

"And the most annoying." Lynn whispered from her brother's back. Jamie gave a quick glance, before rolling his eyes. "So, what's your name?" Jamie asked. "Jonathan." Jon said as Jamie nodded. "I hope you're able to take care of Evan, he can be quite a package to take care of." Jamie warned as he snickered and winked at him. Everyone erupted into laughter, except for Evan, who was sulking to himself. After calming down, Lynn looked at her watch and gave a shocked face. "Ahh, I'm late to work! Jamie, come on, let's go. Sorry Evan, we'll visit tomorrow. Bye!" Lynn half yelled as she ran to the car. Jamie gave a quick hug to Evan and a handshake to Jonathan before jogging towards the car.

As the car drove away, Jon and Evan both exhaled at the same time. "That was a little nerve racking. Why don't we go inside and rest." Jon said as Evan went beside him. As Evan plopped himself on the couch, he felt happy that his brother and sister accepted Jon. "Evan, come on, we have to put the groceries away." Jonathan said as he pulled on Evan's arm. "Aww, can we rest for at least five minutes?" Evan groaned as he closed his eyes. "Fine, but five minutes." Jon said as he sat next to Evan. Jon accidentally got too comfortable and didn't want to get up. "Can we cuddle?" Evan asked innocently, giving a bright smile.

"Fine, but just because you're my boyfriend and I can't say no to that face." Jonathan said as both the men went into a cuddle position. "Jon, did you that I love you?" Evan asked sweetly as he kissed him on the cheek. "Yes, I know that because you're literally eating my face right now, and because if I didn't, I would have just left you to go with Chris." Jon mumbled solemnly, feeling that Evan was being a little too quiet.

"Jonathan, do you think that Chris is gonna disturb us again?" Evan asked as he shifted uncomfortably. "I don't want to say he won't, but he probably might not do anything for a while." Jonathan said, trying to assure Evan that it's going to be fine. As the two started to get comfortable again, Jon felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. "Hello? What up? Uh, sure we'll go, after we finish packing our groceries up. Okay, see you guys in a few." Jonathan finished the call as he got out of the hug and got up. "Okay Evan, it's been five minutes, let's go. And, if we finish early, we can go play with the others." Jonathan said ecstaticlly, now catching Evan's attention. "Fine, but only because I want to play with you, Luke, and everyone else." Evan groaned as he got up from his seat. The two then went into the kitchen to clean.

The two men loved each other, both happy with each other.

They were in each others hearts, or in other words…

They were Taken In
