The officer looked around for a bit before spotting an arm in the direction of the bathroom. He walked to the doorway and kneeled.

He heard Lucas walking closer.
"Stay back kid! You don't want to see him hurting...do you?" He called for an ambulance. Meanwhile, he kept the pressure on the wounds, Xavier was still bleeding heavily, but he was still alive to the relief of the officer and Lucas after being told his beloved boyfriend would be okay.
10 minutes Later
The ambulance arrived and Lucas went downstairs to let them in. He told them where Xavier was, and then he followed them back upstairs.

It had been an hour since they arrived at the hospital, and Lucas was by Xavier's side the whole time, holding his hand and talking to him softly, hoping he could be heard.
A little while later, Xavier started to wake up. Lucas looked over, and his face lit up as he let out a deep sigh of relief.
"Baby.." Lucas called out softly.
Xavier groaned in pain "Hey..~"
Before they could continue they're conversation, the doctor, and the officer walked in.
"Can we talk to him alone for a minute?" The officer asked Lucas.
Lucas nodded and got up, exiting the room. The officer and the doctor sit on either side of Xavier.
Doctor: "Young man, I need you to be very honest with us, okay?"
Xavier was confused, but he nodded. "Yeah, yeah, of course"
Doctor: "Do you use any drugs? Cocaine, Meth, Weed, Pills?"
Xavier: "What the hell, absolutely not, look I have depression, it wasn't because of some drug withdrawal"
"They found Cocaine in your bloodstream" The officer said in a low tone.
"WHAT?! I don't do that shit, I swear!" Xavier stated strongly.
That's when he remembered, that every time he ate that cereal it would heighten his mood and make him sleepy.... His parents had been drugging him... For how long?.. Why?
Xavier: "My parents..the cereal, um there's a box of Lucky Charms in our pantry, please test it, I think my parents have been drugging me"
The room fell silent until the officer spoke again "You know, your parents can get arrested for this, right?"
All Xavier could say was "I don't care" His parents had done so much wrong towards him, that he felt detached from them as is.
Officer: "Do you have somewhere to stay tonight? We don't want you there if they're home"
"Yeah, and I'm sure Lucas will be with me" Xavier looked down at his arms which were now bandaged. "Can I leave now?"

Lucas had driven Xavier and himself to the treehouse after Xavier got discharged from the hospital.
Xavier: "Why would they do that to me..."
Lucas: "Because they're good-for-nothing pieces of shit, and they want to get rid of you, pfft over my dead body"

Once they're settled, they take this time to relax in the bedroom. They have dinner around 10pm and go to bed afterward.
