ODDS OF LOVE : SEASON ELEVEN

Episode 154

As Jas tried to shield Joy he saw Devin get pushed to the ground by one of the White supremacists. He cussed under his breath and for the first time ever in his life forgot to apologize to the Lord for it because he was too concerned with rushing over to help his husband.

Theodore, in the enduring chaos of rocks being thrown, people everywhere running and the police screaming for order through bullhorns , was looking around for Alan who he had seen on the bus with them although he had been sitting by himself in the back. Finally he saw his boyfriend yelling at one of the White supremacists who was daring to lay hands on him ! " Shit ! ," he said as he took off running towards him. What the hell was he doing! Usually Alan was so gentle and mild tempered. He hated confrontation and conflict. Before he got to Alan's side though he saw the man smash his fist directly into his boyfriend's face. Alan fell backwards to the ground and the man was kicking him. Theodore saw red and ran over to grab the creep off of Alan. He threw the man to the side like he was mere paper, wondering where he was getting all this strength from. Then he went to help up Alan who looked scared but also energized.

" Are you ok , Allie ? ," he asked as he touched his bruised face and eye.

Alan looked at him and said," Yeah. Are you? "

Theodore didn't answer. He just grabbed Alan's hand and they both ran for cover from rocks and the police rubber bullets.

Sol was also looking for Luci who had gotten away from him in the disruption. But what he had found was Willow Malden who ran screaming with terror into his arms, holding onto him for dear life.

Joy was helping an injured member of her church who had tripped and twisted her ankle when she got struck in the head with a rock. She gasped in shock and fell down to her knees. Her hand reached up to touch her forehead which was bleeding. Dear God. She was bleeding......

Luci saw the rock hit the pastor and she took off running to her.

" Pastor Joy ! Are you ok ? ," she asked with panic as she reached out to touch Joy's forehead.

Joy jerked away from the teen , saying," No ! Don't touch me ! I'm bleeding! Don't touch it !"

Luci was startled and stepped back a few paces from the minister who was attempting to stand up jerkily while still holding her head. She looked around, searching for her uncle, when she saw Sol holding Willow Malden.

DuBuis was not only helping the old lady who had been hit with the rock but several others who appeared injured or just shocked.

Including Lazarus Jones who had a cut on his cheek and forehead.

Lazarus jerked away from the doctor, saying," I don't require help from a sell out like you. "

DuBuis sighed and snapped," Shut up and be thankful I'm a sellout with a medical degree right now. "

Richie lost track of Lewis and was running to find him.

" Poke ! ," he called. " Where the hell are you! You better not be hurt ! "

His chest was actually hurting from worry.  Lewis hadn't wanted to come today. He had pretty much teased him into it. Damn it ! What if he was hurt !

" Lewis ! ", he called until he saw him huddled next to a big old oak tree on the grounds. He was looking even paler than usual and holding his ankle.

" You ok ? ," Richie asked as he dropped to his knees beside him. His hand reached out to touch his face.

Lewis said in a pained voice," I hurt my ankle running. Sorry I'm such a clumsy dork. "

Richie could not believe what his foster brother had just said. Dork?

" You're not a dork. An idiot maybe but not a dork. Stay here while I find Doc DuBuis , ok ? "

Lewis grabbed hold of his arm. " Don't leave me. Please. "

Richie swallowed. " Ok. I won't. "

Then their eyes met , Richie's filled with worry and guilt, Lewis's with pain and fear.

And , as the peaceful protest continued to spiral into total chaos around them , their lips slowly met in a soft kiss.
