Hard times get better (Switz) (Abandoned)

Swagger's POV
I guess Fitz got hit really bad in the throat. He has to stay at the hospital for at least a few days so they can keep an eye on him. Toby and her mom went home yesterday. They told me I could go home, but I'm not going anywhere. I'm staying by Cam's side until he can leave too.

-A few weeks later-

After like 3 weeks, they finally clear Fitz to leave and he told me to go home and he'd see me at school. I said ok, but I really didn't want to leave his side. I'll just have to deal with it.

-the next day-

Fitz's POV
When I got to school I got tackled into a hug by Mason. Then the other guys all hugged me and asked me how I was feeling. This is going to be a long day. I smiled because it just felt nice to be cared about by these assholes. I called my mom and dad to tell them what happened, but all they said was that they're busy and that I'm be fine. I feel like they've been more worried about their work then me lately.

-after school-

I grab my bag and walk out of school to my truck. I throw my bag in the back seat and lean my head back as I close my eyes. I hear the passenger side door open and I look over at Swagger. "Hey sorry I'm late. My geometry teacher was lecturing me for forgetting to put the date on my paper" he says while rolling his eyes and smiling. I smile at him "that's dumb". "Yea it is" he says as he puts his bag on the floor. He closes his door and I start the truck.

-a few minutes later-

Swagger's POV
I noticed that Fitz has been more quiet today. I decided to ask if I could hangout with him for a while after school and he said yea. When we got to his house, we got out of his truck and went inside. I sat on the couch and he sat next to me and got on his phone. I turned to him and he looked up at me. "Ok I can't hold it in anymore. What's wrong?" I asked and he looked down. "I tried to tell my parents what happened, but they were more worried about their work...it's been that way for a while now. Ever since they left, they haven't called to check on me. It's like I don't exist anymore. Sometimes I think that one day they're gonna move out there and leave me here to take care of myself. I don't want that to happen so soon. I love my parents. I don't wanna lose them yet. I'm still a kid" he stares at the ceiling. I look around the house and I see a ton of pictures of Cam with his parents doing things together. I look at him and I smile. I lay my head on his shoulder. "They love you too much to leave you behind Fitz. Look around you. Look at all those pictures. They love you. They're just busy right now. You'll see. Just wait. I'm sure your mom or your dad will call you later". I sit up and he looks at me and smiles. Fitz leans over and pulls me into a hug. It catches me off guard, but I hug him back. When we pull away, we're both blushing. He rubs the back of his neck and smiles. I look down.

Fitz's POV
Swagger looked down. I put my hand under his chin and lift his head. He looks into my eyes. It's like time had stopped. I put my hand on his cheek and start to slowly lean in. Swagger starts to lean in and we meet halfway. Our lips fit together like puzzle pieces. It felt like fireworks were going off around us. This kiss is different than any other one I've ever had. This kiss feels like destiny.

We were interrupted by cops busting down the door. We jumped up, but they told us to get down. I got down on my knees and the cops started to handcuff me. "Woah! Woah! What are you doing?!" I yelled and Swagger look over at me obviously scared and nervous. They pulled me up and started leading me out the door. "Let him go! He did nothing wrong! He's just a kid! What do you want him for?!" Swagger said. "Son you better stay out of this. Cameron McKay you are under arrest for drug trafficking". "DRUG TRAFFICKING?! Hold on a min-" the cops cut me off by shoving me into the car.

Swagger's POV
"Look idk where you got the idea that Cam would ever deal with drugs, but he's innocent" I say and one of the cops walks up to me. "Eric go home or I'll take you in too". I noticed that the cop that walked up to me was actually my dad's friend Rich or Richard. He agreed with my dad about everything. He's a fake religious man. He hates anyone who isn't white, gays, trans people, and most importantly, he hates me because I got my dad sent away. "I'm not scared of you Rich. Not anymore. I did nothing wrong. I'm just trying to defend my friend" I say and he looks at me angrily. "I told you to go home boy" he says and I don't move. After about 30 seconds of us having a staring contest. He pulls out his pepper spray and sprays me in the eyes. "AAAA! AAA!FUCK! ARGH!" I yell as I step back and try to wipe my eyes.

Fitz's POV
THAT FUCKER PEPPER SPRAYED SWAGGER! I start wiggling around and the cop in the front seat turns around. "Quit squirming punk!" He says and I look out the window at Swagger. I see Toby walking up the sidewalk. "TOBY! TOBY!" I try to yell knowing damn well she can't hear me. She looks up and stops. She puts her phone in her pocket and runs up to Swagger. "SWAGGER!" She yells. "GET BACK NOW!" The cop yells, but Toby starts trying to wipe Swagger's eyes. The cop pepper sprays Toby and she falls backwards onto the ground and tries to wipe her eyes while screaming. Swagger looks over at Toby and tries to go help her, but the cop yells at him to get down on the ground. "I DID NOTHING WRONG! IM HELPING MY FUCKING FRIEND!" He yells and the cop reaches to his belt. Swagger is about halfway to Toby when all of the sudden the cop takes out his taser and shoots Swagger with it in the back and tases him. "AAAAAA!" He yells then he falls down. The cop goes up to Swagger and handcuffs him. "SWAGGER! TOBY! LET ME OUT! LET ME OUT YOU FUCKER!" I yell as I start trying to get my hands free from the cuffs. The cop from the front seat gets out and opens the back door. He drags me out and tries me on the ground. "STOP RESISTING!" He yells as he pepper sprays me. "AAAAA! WHAT THE FUCK!" I yell as I struggle on the ground. The other cop gets on top of Toby and restrains her. "NO GET OFF HER!" Swagger yells and the cop that's above me goes over to him and tases him again. Then, the cop takes out his baton and starts beating Swagger with it. The other cop gets his out and starts beating Toby. "AAAA! STOP! PLEASE!" Swagger and Toby yell in pain. I start to hyperventilate and cry. "S-STOP IT! YOU'RE HURTING THEM! PLEASE STOP!" I yell as I cry and start having a panic attack. Another cop pulls over and gets out of his car. I look over and see people filming from their windows with their hands over their mouths and some of them are calling people on their phones. The cop that just pulled up grabs me by the hair and makes me watch as my friends are being beat down. I cry and try to close my eyes. A bunch of cops pull up and get out of their cars. They pull out their guns and point them at the other cops. One of them steps up and starts yelling at the three shithole cops. "WHAT IN GODS NAME ARE YOU DOING YOU FUCKING IDIOTS?! STAND DOWN OR WE'LL USE FORCE!". The cops just keep beating Toby and Swagger and the one holding me doesn't let go. The other cops come up and tackle the shitholes to the ground taking their guns, batons,  tasers and throwing them to the side. They handcuff them and put them in cars. An ambulance pulls up and they run over. The good cops uncuff me, Swagger, and Toby. One of the cops helps me up and leads me to his car. He sets me in the passenger seat and tells me to buckle up and try to calm down. I put on my seatbelt, but I can't stop hyperventilating, shaking, and crying. I see the paramedics take Swagger and put him in the ambulance. Another ambulance pulls up and does the same to Toby.
