(Mike's POV)

"Let me go to the hospital, give me the car keys." I muttered.

"Nope, strict orders from the boss," Rosemary said, sitting on a chair, with her phone at hand.

"When are they going to call?" I asked, turning to my side.

"Don't know, but my nerves are killing me," she leaned herself back and slumped.

"No news is good news," She then commented.

"True," it was all I responded. We sat in silence a bit more, we were in the living room and I was laying down...although I wanted to get up really bad, I was really sick.

"I just want to get better," I mumbled, hiding my face in the pillows.

"Seeing Kellin would really make your day, but they'll call any minute, and for all I know, Kellin could come home-" I turned to her and then cut her off.

"The most expected thing can be a social worker taking Kellin away to who knows where..." I paused to think that and just hid my face entirely. I knew that if what I was saying was true, there was a possibility of not seeing him again.

"You know-" Rosemary was going to talk when we suddenly heard the door open; I lifted my head up a bit. I watched as Vic and my mom walked in, but it was only them walking in.

"What's going on? Where is-" Rosemary was asking till my mom started talking.

"Kellin is doing well. But, his father has taken custody for sure. His mother is now, in the authorities' hands." My mom stopped, so Vic continued.

"Kellin is going to be with his dad. He's going to be discharged in two days, at least that's what doctors say."

"He's okay now, and that's what matters," Rosemary said, Vic walked over to her and took a seat, placing an arm around her; my mom took a seat at my feet.

"I want to visit him," I whispered to her, she turned to me and smiled.

"I'm sure you will, but-" she cut herself off.

"What?" I asked.

"Do you actually know the original reason why Kellin's father left? Why he never took Kellin with him?" she asked me.

"No, but you can tell me," I insisted.

"Kellin's dad is against gay relationships," Vic interrupted our conversation, which I previously thought was A and B.

"So, that doesn't stop love," I answered, Rosemary then smiled at my statement.

"Well, Kellin's dad can cut off ties, so if you do plan on seeing Kellin, keep your gay on a low key," Vic answered back. I rolled my eyes, and tried my best to ignore the world at the moment; cause all I wanted was to see Kellin. What would I do if Kellin's dad does try to get in our way?

If a social worker didn't take Kellin away, then his dad would for sure.

"Mom, can you help me to my room." I whispered.

She looked at me, with a bit of a wide-eyed expression, cause although I have been living in this household, I've never been one to ask for favors, make contact, or be kind. Only person I had been kind with was Kellin, and recently Jaime and Oli had fallen in my good side.

She then got up and helped me up, and guided me up the stairs, I held her tightly, and I knew she could read me.

"You can cry now...now that no one can see you," she whispered. She walked me to my room and laid me down, she tucked me in...for a second my eyes flashed back to times, where I was only a child. Back to a time, where I was sick and I would look to my mother to comfort me. I grabbed my pillow and tightened my hold.

"What if I can't see Kellin again?" I started sobbing; she patted my side and leaned in to kiss my forehead.

"Hug me mom," I whispered, and she did as I asked. I hadn't cried in a while...but with my mom, I wasn't afraid to fall apart before her.
