Chapter 44
Alexander's POV

   "His treatment." NO! "Leave son."
   "No." John looked at me, mortified. His eyes begged me to just leave but there was no way I was leaving him with this prick.
   "Excuse me?"
   "Let me spell it out for your peanut brain to grasp, N-O!" John's eyes started to tear up and he tried to blink them back.
   "I didn't ask, son."
   "Stop calling me son."
   "Leave, now!"
   "No, I am welcomed, you are not."
   "Alex, please just go." John pleaded.
   "Alex! Whose Alex?" John flinched.
   "Me, sir." I drew myself up to look tough.
   "Leave, the lord will deal with you as he sees fit."
   "Jokes on you, I'm atheist." John's dad advances on me and grabbed my wrist. He began to pull me towards the door and John didn't even move. John sat there terrified, 'I'm sorry' he mouthed. A single tear ran down his face.
   "It's ok John, it'll be fine."
   "You don't not get to talk to my whore son."
   "He's not a whore!" I started to fight Mr. Laurens, he reared back and punched me in the jaw. He threw me outside and slammed the door. I jumped up and tried to open the door but he had locked it. I put an ear to the door and heard a fist connect with a body, John yelped. Tears started to stream down my face as I banged on the door. I screamed and a hand touched my shoulder. I whipped around to find James and Thomas.
   "H-help, J-John." Thomas nodded.
   "I saw him come up the stairs and open your door." James muttered.
   "On three." Thomas gestured to the door and I nodded. "1..2..3!" We slammed our bodies against the door repeatedly but it would budge.
   "Alex, what are you doing?!" Herc called, I turned and he saw my tears. He rushed over with Laf on his heals.
   "J-John, his d-dad." I sobbed, Herc nodded at Thomas and together they slammed against the door. There was a loud crack and the door swung open. Herc charged into the room and clocked John's dad. I rushed over to John, he was huddled between his bed and Teak's cage.
   "J-John?" He didn't move. I hauled him off the floor and into the bathroom, I set him in the tub. I rushed out into the bedroom. Herc and Thomas held John's dad against the wall.
   "HOW DARE YOU TAKE HIM AWAY FROM ME!" I punched his dad over and over until a pair of arms dragged me off. James pulled me to John's bed and sat me down. I tried to catch my breath, Herc and Thomas hauled his dad out of the room.
   "We're taking him to the front desk." James informed me, following Thomas. I ran into the bathroom and closed the door behind me.
   "J-John?" John stirred in the tub, a smile broke across my face. "YOU'RE ALIVE, OH MY GOD!"
   "T-Teak?" John muttered, grabbing my arm. "Is she o-ok?" Tears began to well in his eyes.
   "I'll check, relax ok." John nodded slowly. I moved out in the room and made my way to Teak's cage. The front facing side of her cage had been smashed and was covered in blood. Teak sat in the corner, a small blood splatter in her shell. I carefully pulled her out and brought her into the bathroom. I ran water in the sink and carefully washed her off, I set her on the counter. I turned, and for the first time, fully took in John's injuries. Blood trickled from his head down his face and his torso was already bruising. Several cuts had been inflicted on his arms. I quickly got a small towel and wrapped it around my hand.
   "John this is gonna hurt." I pressed on John's head wound and he yelped. I pulled my hand back and tossed the towel aside. "There might be glass in the wound." I muttered, John muttered something deliriously. I pushed his hair aside, trying to get a good look at his wound. I heard people rush into the room.
   "In here!" A man called, paramedics rushed in and pulled me out. They pulled John from the tub and set him on a stretcher.  In a flash I saw my brother's body on the stretcher and I screamed.
   "NO NOT HIM TOO! PLEASE LET ME GO!" The paramedics held me back and carried John out.
   "A-Alex, I'm alrig-" John stammered and passed out.
   "NO! JOHN!" The paramedics now had to push me against the floor to keep me down.
   "Sir, he's going to be fine. Sir, you need to calm down." One of the paramedics tried. The paramedics held me down until my breathing steadied and wasn't fighting anymore. They told me what hospital and ran out of the room. A couple seconds later James, Thomas, Herc, and Laf appeared.
   "John's dad is going to jail for a long ass time." Thomas informed me, James dragged him out and Herc shut the door behind him.
   "John, no! I knew this was gonna happen, I knew you'd get taken away from me." I sobbed, I felt a hand on my shoulder.
   "You're in no condition to drive, mon ami. We'll give you a ride to the hospital." Laf hauled me off the floor and handed me some of John's clothes. I dressed and we headed to Laf's car. No one spoke on the drive over, I sat in the back hyperventilating.
    We got to the hospital and I hopped out. I bolted into the lobby, Laf and Herc hot on my heels. I ran straight to the front desk.
   "John Laurens?" The lady looked taken aback.
   "Who?"
   "John Laurens, about yay high." I pulled my hand up just above my head, indicating his height. "Curly brown hair, freckles, green eyes."
   "Head injury?" I nodded vigorously. "He's in ICU, you can't see him yet but you're welcome to wait." Laf and Herc guided me to a seat and I collapsed into it.
   "Well wake you up if there's any updates." Herc assured, I nodded and drifted off to sleep.
   "Alex...Alex." Someone was shaking me, I opened my eyes and Laf smiled. "Hey, John's gonna be alright but he's still not ready for visitors." Laf informed, I nodded and looked at my phone. 8:27pm. I can't do this! I need him. A couple hours later a man stepped into waiting room.
   "Is there an Alexander Hamilton here?" I jumped up.
   "We told them everything while you were asleep." Laf informed.
   "He's not awake yet but you can see him." I nodded and followed him. He lead me to a room and pushed the door open, I thanked him. I entered the room and my breath hitched. John lay unmoving with IV's attached to his arm and an oxygen mask over his face.
    "Oh, John. I knew this would happen, fuck." I took his hand in mine and sat in a chair by the bed. My eyes grew heavy, I laid my head down next to John and drifted off to sleep.
