I hold Garrett as the paramedics rush his father out on a gurney. He's sobbing into my shirt as I rub his back. I kiss his forehead gently before a police officer makes his way over to us. He has the classic Police mustache and the classic douche glasses all he's missing is the piece of gum.

"Hello boys. My name is Officer Parker and I'd like to ask you a few questions. Why did Mr. Luther come to your residence tonight?" he asks us as he pops a piece of gum in his mouth. There it is. Douche.

I rub Garrett's arm "I have no idea how he even got in. Garrett and I were in the kitchen while my mother was upstairs in her room and I heard a scream so I rushed upstairs and I saw Michael (not sure if I gave Garrett's dad a name) standing near my mom with a knife in his hand."

The cop nods as he scribbles on his little notebook "And why was Garrett at your house tonight?"

"He's my boyfriend so he came over to visit like usual" I say defensively.

"Boyfriend?" he asks.

I nod "Yes boyfriend."

"Do you think this has anything to do with Mr. Luthers appearence tonight?"

"He's never liked me being gay. He beat me a lot but when I found Ambrose I realized it was ok. I wasn't wrong he was" Garrett whispers.

Officer Parker nods "So explain to me what happened when you got into the bedroom."

"When we got to the room he went crazy. He was yelling nonsense then he lunged towards Garrett and I couldn't let him hurt him so I tackled him to the ground which led to a wrestle of sorts but when he stopped moving I looked down to see the knife in his side. I didn't mean to do it but it was self defense and I have no regrets" I respond.

"No worries we've been searching for this guy for a long time. And to think he was in this town the entire time. He's been a wanted man for years. You did a service."

And with that the Officer left us alone with a parting I'll call you when something turns up.

"It's not a service that's my father" Garrett cries.

"I know baby. I'm so sorry. I just couldn't let him hurt you. He may make it. He still had a heartbeat when I called 911" I comfort him.

He sniffles "I hope he does."

In this moment I love Garrett even more. Even after all the things his father has done to him he still cares for the man. Highlighting the kind and sincere heart my baby has.

"GARRETT" I hear a female scream.

We look over to see Rose racing towards the caution tape trying to get past the police officers. I start to walk over, holding Garrett to me tightly, so I can tell the officer to let her by. But before I even took two steps the good old Doctor Grant appears behind her, flashing his ID and gaining instant access. Rose sprints over to us while Garrett wrestles himself from my hold. They collide together, holding each other tightly. She strokes his hair while he sobs into her shoulder. It's a very touching moment causing a pang in my heart.

"We need to get to the hospital. Mom please I know he's not a good father but I need to see him" he pleads after he sees the look of apprehension on her face.

"Honey I don't think that's the best idea" she's says uneasily.

"Ambrose will take me then" he says stubbornly.

My eyes widen "Baby. Let's not be hasty."

He whirls around a fire in his eyes "You will take me to the hospital to see my dad or I swear to God I will withhold sex for a month" he glares.
