Ashton's Pov

I don't look up to see who it is, but i can tell who is talking. "what?" Nick asks "he was helping me all day." Alec says "oh" is all that is said "well""nothing" Alec cuts off Blake, " he did nothing wrong." Alec said. I feel someone walk over to me, and in my vision a hand reaches out i instinctively flinch away looking up to see Alec with a pained look on his face.

"Your not suppose to be out of bed," I wince standing out,"lay down on the couch, and i'll get dinner started with your medicine." I tell then walking into the kitchen.

Alec's POV

When I woke up this morning sick I thought for sure i would be alone, but to say Ashton staying with me was a surprise is an understatement. But to hear him say that this isn't his home, and that he hasn't given up on us I swear i broke right then an there. I then realized I don't even know why we beat him. I knew that he would get punished when they got home.

I had to stop it, and as soon as he left to the kitchen they all said "what the hell Alec?!" I sighed knowing I would have to explain "why do we do it?" I ask "what?" Riley asks confused "why do we beat him?" I ask, "huh? why cause looking at it now he hasn't done shit to us, and I know we have nothing against gays! So i will ask again why?" I raised my voice, but got quiet at the end.

It was quiet until Jake spoke, "I want didn't him to get hurt." "not wanting him to grow up." "Mad he'd get bullied at school," and more came... "Let me guess you were angry, and sad that it would happen?" I ask receiving nods, "Ya well those feelings turned against him. He gets bullied cause we wont stop it. He gets beat because our fear. God knows what else happens." They all look like they got shot. "Want to know what he said to me today? He said this isn't his home, and his home is with Dylan his brother," I say hurt, and anger passes over their faces, "yet we do all this shit to him he said he hadn't given up on us yet." "We're so stupid." Logan's voice cracked.

"We need to fix this." Blake said, "Ashton!?" Ash walked in with his head down "y-yes sir?" he stuttered "we'll be having a family dinner tonight okay?" he asked gently "oh! Yes sir i'll prepare for your guest." Ash responded "no," Tristan laughed, "Ash a family dinner which means your sitting with us." Ash looked scared, but happy "oh... Okay i'll set the table then come sit when it's ready." he said walking away.

Blake's Pov

We waited in the living room till dinner was done just thinking. "dinners done!" Ash hollered from the kitchen walking into the dinning room Ash is putting the food on the table "just sit down i'll be there in a sec." he smiled walking back to the kitchen. As we are sitting down we heard "shit!" from the kitchen getting up, and rushing to the kitchen only to see Ash holding his hand with a pan on the floor. "Are you okay?" Tristan asked Ash looked up with fear clear in his eyes "I-I-I'm s-so sorry s-sir." Ash stuttered tears coming to his eye's from fear and pain.

Walking towards him slowly "Ash it's okay we're not mad," I say gently pulling him into a hug, "why don't we get your hand fixed up k?" he nods sniffling I pick him up putting him on my hip, and going up stairs to my room setting him on my bed "let me see." I say lifting his hand up "well it's going to be blistered for a little, but we have some cream for that." Walking into my bathroom I go through our medicine cabinet grabbing the cream "here you go." I walk in to see him crying I put the cream on his hand the pull him into my lap so that he straddles me, "whats wrong?" I ask "I-I'm sorry I ruined the family dinner." he cries "oh ash," I coo, "shsh it's fine you didn't ruin anything, and i promise as soon as we get down there they will all ask if you okay."

For a while I just cuddle him to my chest "just like old times." he whispers I nod "lets go down stairs." i say as soon as we hit the bottom steps questions are spewing out of their mouths "guys! He's okay." I laugh "thank god." they all breath out as Ash giggles "whats so funny mister?" Riley asks in a playful tone "it's just funny, but creepy when you guys talk at the same time." He giggles "oh ya i'm gonna give you something to giggle about." Alec says rushing forward to grab him "no!" he shrieks trying to get out of my hold "okay guys," I laugh at them, "lets eat dinner." As we're eating dinner ash is sitting on my lap pouting because I made him sit here, and I'm feeding him.

After dinner we lay in the living room till Ash says, "Oh! I have to do the dishes." He says jumping up from in between Logan and Luke "oh no we'll do them tomorrow you lay down, and watch TV with us." Logan and Luke say bringing ash back in between them. An hour later Ash is asleep along with Nick and Luke "I got him i'll let him sleep with me." I say picking him up, and walking up to my room.

Laying him down on the bed I pull his shirt off careful not to wake him I instantly feel guilt and regret fill my stomach as I see the bruise we caused him, "my poor baby." I whisper to my self sighing then pulling off his pants only to have my breath hitch to see he's wearing light pink panties... But that's not the worst part he has bruises on his thighs, on his inner thighs, and his butt.

All I can think is what happened to my baby?
