章 30: Family matters

Ian was about to head out when he heard the door bell, he opened the door and gasped.

"Vince? What's wrong?"

Vince was bruised and beat up, his bottom lip had a cut and was bleeding. He looked Ian in the eyes.

"I got kicked out....my dad beat me up because I couldn't follow their stupid rules"

He frowned and helped his boyfriend inside. He rushed to the kitchen to grab an ice pack.

Vince sighed in relief as the pain subdued from the coldness.

"Sorry for coming unannounced" he says. Ian shook his head.

"It's okay, do you have a place to stay?"

"Not really....will your mother mind if I stayed for the day?"

"Of course I wouldn't" a voice said.

They looked from the door and saw Ian's mother coming from the living room. She had been listening in for the past few minutes.

Ian smiled.

"A sleepover yay!"
