*Max's POV*

I'm gonna kill the fucker who hurt my brother.

Desperation was clear on my face as I picked up Zeke from Jacob, earning a pain filled groan from my younger brother. I would have to introduce myself later.

Zeke was put on a hospital bed and wheeled into an Emergency room.

"Are you Zeke's guardian? Family member?" A doctor by the name of Dr. Alex Franklin asked me.

"Brother."

"Well we are just going to have to run some X-rays and see whether he has any internal bleeding or anything nasty." I nodded and went to sit with Jesse and Jacob.

"I wish we could have met on better terms." Jacob spoke quietly for the first time in a while.

"Same." I shrugged slightly. "I've heard a bit about you from Zeke."

He blushed and held his hand out for a handshake. And of course I shook his hand.

"I really hope he is okay. I lo-"

Before he could finish, a short nurse wearing the appropriate uniform walked in.

"Zeke has requested to see Max?" I nodded and looked at Jacob. His head was down and his hair hung over his face so I couldn't see his face.

I followed the nurse through the hallway, turning left then right.

The nurse was quite pretty with brunette hair done back in a tight braid and her uniform clean and tidy.

There he lay, damaged and bruised in a hospital bed, the sight making me sigh with sadness.

He was my little brother, it's my job to protect him. We seemed to live on separate planets to Mum and Dad. Mum didn't seem to care about us and Dad gave us a free lance.

He was so small and quiet yet he was so strong, finding the strength the tell me he was gay and I'm sure he had more hinding within his mind.

"Max..." he whimpered.

"Hey little bro, I'm here." I quickly moved to Zeke's side. "You're okay." I gave him a reassuring smile but only got a weak smile back.

"Thank you for coming for me. I was so scared and I thought I was going to die to be honest. I want Jacob. I want him to love me, I want him to be mine and I don't want to feel like I have to hide my sexuality anymore, it makes me fucking sick to think that I might be bullied and judged my whole life because the person that I love is a boy." Zeke broke down in front of me, tears falling down his cheeks and neck.

"I know Zeke. I have to hide it too. It'll be okay, I'll be with you every single step of the way I promise." I gently placed my hand over his and gave another smile.

"Every step of the way? You promise?" His voice was quiet and he looked up at me, hurt still evident in his eyes.

"Of course little bro."

*Zeke's POV*

It had been a four days since I had been released from hospital and I now lay in my bed, sleeping as I  cuddled Jacob. The worst injury that Mitchell's gang had given me was two broken arms so I had to get some casts.

Luckily Mum and Dad were out for a few days for some work stuff coincidentally. I was glad.

A knock on the door woke me up and I looked up to see a smiling Max with his head in the door. It made my heart flutter that Jacob didn't move to make it seem like we weren't cuddling. Something must've happened in the waiting room....

"You boys okay?"

"You're starting to sound like some fake ass parent from the movies." I yawned.

"Yeah, yeah." He laughed. "You know Jacob, you have been a real help to me with Zeke, why don't you stay over for a few days?" Max, you beautiful child.

"Coincidentally my mum is also out for the rest of the week so I would love the company. Are you sure it's okay?" Jacob replied.

"Of course."
