There's More To Life.....

13: Thank You

🦄Moschino's POV🦄

"OH MY GOD PHENIX!" I ran towards a beaten Phenix slumped over the park bench. He was bleeding from his head and mouth. His right eye was swollen shut. He tried to say something but he fainted. I grabbed the suitcase he had with him, picked him up bridal style (I'm surprising strong, my nickname was Bambam when I was younger) and put him in the backseat of my BMW. "SIRI WHERES NEAREST HOSPITAL?" I yelled at my iPhone. "The nearest hospital is in 7.9 miles, here are the directions" she said while pulling up google maps. I drove to the hospital full of rage. When I arrived to the hospital I quickly ran inside and yelled, "HELP! I NEED HELP! MY FRIEND'S BEEN BEATEN!" "Where is he?" A doctor responded. He was light skinned, a lot of muscle, wavy hair, green eyes, and tattoos. If you told me he was a doctor I would've laughed in your face. "HES IN MY CAR!" I yelled while running towards my car. A few other doctors came out with a stretcher. "We need to get him into surgery STAT!" the doctor said. The pulled him out the car, put him on the stretcher, and rushed him into surgery. I called Tate. "Hey sis!" He answered. "Tate you need to get to Saint. Mary's hospital now." I said. "Why? Girl don't tell me you and Liam did some freaky shit and something stu-" "ITS PHENIX." I interrupted while my voice cracked. I could hear him start to cry and panic so I hung up. I said to myself, "Who would do this to him?"

💅🏽Tate's POV💅🏽
"ITS PHENIX" played over and over in my head as I drove to the hospital. Moschino didn't tell me what happened so I don't know what to expect. Then I remembered that he was suppose to come out to his parents today. Is this what him being in the hospital is about? I hope nothing serious is wrong. I don't know what I'd do without him.

🦄Moschino's POV🦄
I saw Tate running inside the hospital. He spotted me and could tell I've been crying. "OMG what's wrong with Phenix!" He shouted. "He's beaten. Like really bad. It doesn't look good Tate..." I responded. He gasped and started sobbing, which made me sob with him. "He's gonna be okay.....he gonna be okay......he's gonna be okay...." I repeated while rocking him back and forth rubbing his back. I thought about texting Liam telling him what happened, but my bestfriend needed all of my attention.

About an hour and a half passed. The doctor from earlier came out and headed towards us. "Moschino, is it? He asked. I nodded. "And who's this? Another friend of his?" He asked nodded towards Tate. "That's his boyfriend." I responded. "Ah, I see. Well It turns out he was bleeding internally in his head, but we managed to stop the bleeding just in time. He also has a few broken ribs. He's gonna be out of it for the night but we expect a full recovery. If you would've came 5 minutes later than what you did, I'm afraid we wouldn't have been able to save him." He said. I sighed in relief. " thank you doctor." I said. He nodded and said " you guys can come see him now." We followed behind him until we got to the door of his room. He motion for us to go in as he walked away. We slowly entered and as soon as I saw Phenix I gasped. His whole face was swollen. I've never seen anything like it. "MY BABY!" Tate yelled while falling to the floor. Who would do this to Phenix? He never did anything wrong to anybody. He's one of the kindest people I know. He didn't have a mean bone in his body. All of this for what? Because he's gay? When I find whoever did this to him, the pain they're gonna feel is gonna be 10000000x worse than the pain Phenix is feeling right now. I stood there looking at his battered body full of rage. I could feel my skin getting hot. That was until I felt someone pulled me into a hug. It was Liam, who was also hugging Tate. I could see the tears in Liam's eyes. I grabbed onto Liam and Tate and we all sobbed. We stood there holding, comforting each other at the foot of Phenix's hospital bed.

We woke up the next morning in Phenix's hospital room. Tate was sleeping on the couch next to Phenix, while I slept on the couch on the other side of the room. Liam's dad was on his back so he left. I looked at Phenix's bed and was shocked. He was up. He was watching Tate as he slept while holding his hand. He looked up at me and gave a faint smile. "I'm surprised to see you're up." I said. He sighed and said "well I don't like to sleep for too long". His face was back go normal, well, except for his eye, so he was able to speak. I got up and walked to the side of his bed. He could tell I was curious as to what happened so he simply said, "it was my parents and my brother." I gasped as I covered my mouth in disbelief. His own family? "Omg Phenix that's horrible!" I managed to say. "Well they didn't think so while they were beating the shit out of me" he said as he clinched his jaw. "They took everything from me. My clothes, my car, I'm pretty sure they wanted to take my life as well. They said 'no faggot is gonna wear anything we paid for. YOU'RE DEAD TO US.' Even my own mother. My queen, hates me." He said while the tears formed in his eyes. He chucked and said, "everything I've done, all the sacrifices I've made for my so-called 'family'. They were all I had. Where the fuck am I gonna go?" "Well there's plenty of room in my house"' I said without hesitation. "No I don't wanna intrude" he responded. "Intrude on what? It's literally me by myself in a giant house. I could really use the company and if we're being honest you really don't have a choice." I said. He sighed and said, "you're right. What am I going to do about clothes? Shoes? Even my car for Christ's sake?" "You let me worry about that. Speaking of worrying, lets worry about this hair" I said while playing in his dry curls. He managed to laugh and said, "We'll let Tate worry about that for the both of us." I laughed a little too loud because it woke up Tate. He looked up at Phenix, smiled and said "Baby!" "Hey shawdy" he responded. They kissed and hugged. Well, as much as they could because Phenix was still in a lot of pain. As they hugged Phenix looked at me and mouthed "THANK YOU."
