~The Evan's House~

"Devon, does his dad hit him?" Kim asks again with more sterness in her voice.

"Yeah, he does. But you can't told him I told you. Jake knows you guys will make him go to Logan and Bree's." Devon says hopping out the deskchair and pacing across the room.

"What's wrong with that?" "I mean it's okay over there, but everytime he goes over Bree says 'they're not qualified' for taking care of a child with mental issues." Devon says finally sitting down on his bed across from his mom.

"Mental issues?" Kim asks. "He has depression and anxiety. He's just getting through a depressive episdoe now!" Devon says. "Ok. Bye honey." Kim says walking out his mom.

"Mom! Promise me you won't tell." "I can't do tha-" "Promise me, mommy." Devon pleads and gives his cute begging eyes no one can say no to.

"Fine." Kim leaves and closes the door quickly breaking their promise and calling CPS.

"Hey. We have a child abuse case at 9234 Wisteria Lane. Okay thanks." Kin says and hangs up the phone. She decides she's too tired to cook and orders pizza. Cheese because it's Devon's favorite.

~The Wheeler's House(3)~

"We can't, Logan! We don't know how to deal with a child like that." "You always say that. Have you ever stopped and think how much Jake's suffering, Lucas too?" Logan yells softly. He didn't soft enough to here because Junior heard it.

"Mom? Dad?" Junior asks walking into where they are, the kitchen. "Hey hunny, what's up?" Bree says pressing down her jacket. "What's going in?" "We're fine." Bree says, but at the same time Logan answers. "We're fighting about something."

"Logan, he's too young." "Have you seen Jake do anything out of the ordinary?" Logan asks and Junior raises one eyebrow.

"No, why. What's wrong and don't lie?" Junior says emphasizing the last two words.

"Well, y'know whenever he leaves after staying here Annie cleans his room?" Logan asks and Junior nods. "Well earlier today while cleaning a tiny black box had fell and popped open. It was full of razors. Some with....dried blood."

"Does the box have a picture with him and Devon on the outside?" Junior asks. "Yeah, have you seen it?" Bree asks finally stepping up. "Yeah, yesterday morning, I went to get him for breakfast and he has hiding something behind his back. I swear I saw blood drip, but I ignored it."

"That's all we wanted to know, head back up Jun-jun." Bree says patting him on the back.

"We have to call Kim." Logan says.

~The Wheeler's House(2)~

~TRIGGER WARNING ABUSE⚠️~

"Jake!" Lucas yells and Jake walks out the kitchen. "What?" "What?" Lucas says snarky. "Treat me with respect. I'm your damn father."

"Act like it." The younger boy whispers. "What the hell did you say to me?!" Lucas yells getting up. "Nothing! What'd you need?" Jake flinches from the yelling and his dad getting up.

"Go get me a beer." Jake walks back in the kitchen and grabs the beer.

Shatter.

"Shit! I'm sorry,i'm sorry,i'm sorry,i'm sorry,i'm sorry. I'm sorry." Jake says to his dad.

"You dropped my beer bottle? The beer I payed with for my hard earned money? You fucker." Lucas quickly chugs the beer bottle he was running out of and throws it at Jake. He kinda misses, but a some pieces hit him and dig into his skin.

Instead of looking at him or saying anything Jake runs upstairs and slams his door.

"DON'T SLAM MY DOOR!"

~The Next Day(Perry High School)~

"Jake!" Devon yells running throughout the hallways looking for his boyfriend. "Hi." Devon says breathlessly. "Hey? Why'd you run?" Jake asks. "I just missed you." Devon kisses him and Jake becomes shocked, but isn't mad.

"Devon! We're gonna be late for Ms. Tate." Grant says and Devon plants another kiss on his cheek then walks off with a pep in his step.

"What was that about?" Junior asks. "If only I knew." Jake says and they walk to class.

The day goes by and now they're in Ms.Fairchild's class watching a video about the human heart.

Everyone is bored out of their minds until Kim walks in and whispers something into Ms.Fairchild's ear.

The red-headed teacher eyes widen and looks at Jake. "Uhm, Jake?" Ms. Fairchild asks and everyone looks at him. "Grab your stuff, you're going with Detective Evans. She has a few questions.

Jake looks back at Devon and grabs his stuff. Devon runs out the back door and spots his mom.

"Mom! What the hell?" Devon asks. "Take him, Agent Jones. Devon, you know and I know this is for the best."

"But, you promised......."
