***OLIVER POV***

I grip Jeremi's hand as we wait in the hospital's waiting room. Lucas had gotten a call from Rolland's social worker saying that he had been hurt while at the detention center. He had been taken by ambulance to the hospital for his injuries. The doctors wouldn't let any of us see him right now since he was in surgery for internal bleeding. Kenna was off hunting down a vending machine for food and soda. Lucas was pacing back and forth running his hands through his hair as he fought on the phone with his father, his voice floated over to me.

"Sir Please! I'm at the hospital with a friend! I cant just leave him! No Sir I'm not trying to back talk you! Please NO!" He says his voice sounding scared as he begged his father, his face Pale as his father talks to him. He gulps and hangs his head. "Yes Sir, I'll.. I'll be home shortly." He says and hangs up. He walks over to us and stops in front of Jeremi. "Um guys, I have to go home. M-m-my f-f-father wants me home." He says stuttering the word Father. He refuses to look us in the eyes and I give him a curious look. Jeremi lets go of my hand and stands up to gather him in a hug. He clings to her and my eyes Widen. WHAT THE FUCK!

"Lucas you are NOT going to that house! I wont let you!" She says pulling away. He just gives her a weak smile.

"You know why I have to go home, I'm already in enough trouble." He says quietly. She shakes her head and crosses her arms glaring at him.

"I don't give a rats ass. I will NOT be visiting you in the hospital next do you hear me?" She snaps. My eyes widen again.

"What the hell is going on?" I ask as Kenna comes in, her arms loaded with junk food and sodas. She dumps them next to me and looks at all of us with confusion. Jeremi and Lucas look at each other, silently yelling at each other before Lucas hangs his head and shrugs.

"Might as well tell them. Wont matter anyway." He mumbles. Jeremi takes his hand and gives it a squeeze as she turns to us.

"The reason Lucas is such a violent jackass sometimes is well. HIs parents Abuse him." She says and something in me clicks. All the times Lucas came into school limping and with bruises. Holy fuck! I get up and surprising everyone, Hell even me! I wrap my arms around him and hug him.

"I so sorry Lucas." I whisper before letting him go. He snorts.

"YOU have nothing to say sorry about. I'm the one who took my anger toward my parents out on you." He says. I shake my head and open my mouth to say something but Kenna cuts in first.

"Jeremi's right, you cant go home." I look at Jeremi and thanks to Twin telepathy we both get the same Idea at the same time.

"You can Stay with us!" We say at the same time. Lucas's eyes widen.

"You'd You'd let me stay, with you?" He says with disbelief. We nod our head.

"Yeah We have an RV out back that you can use to sleep in." I say shrugging my shoulders. Lucas gives the three of us a small smile and nods.

"I think I'll take you up on that offer." He says stuffing his hands in his pocket. " Though I'll have to wait until my parents aren't home to grab clothes." we shrug and then all dig in to the junk food and soda Kenna had brought us, my mind wandering back to Rolland. Was he ok? Were they done with surgery yet? Was the doctor going to come out any minute and tell us we could see him? Would he even want to see me? Suddenly Lucas jumps out of his seat and over to a woman who just came in, a young boy next to her. They rush over to the nurse station and the woman starts talking. The boy looks over and I suddenly realize who it is.

"ALLEN?" I call and jump out of my chair, racing after Lucas. Allen spies me and leaves the woman's side to rush to me. I open my arms and gather the now sobbing child in my arms, he clings to me.
