Ok guys new chapter! Oh and thank you for the reviews guys they mean a lot! I'm sorry for not updating in a while :p

"Mom-Dad-I" Nick stuttered, an absolute horrified look on his face. His father was seething with anger.

"Jeff, get out," the older man hissed, anger apparent in his voice.

"But I-"

"OUT!" The man shouted, pointing angrily at the door. Jeff hung his head and scampered out of the room, sending Nick a sympathetic look before exiting. The halls outside were empty and Jeff really needed to talk to someone. He ran into the common room and thankfully found a group of the Starkids having a mini jam session.

"Lauren?" Jeff choked out. He winced at how scared he sounded. The girl whipped around to see how pale, shocked, and shirtless her friend was.

"Jeff? What's wrong?" She asked soothingly, walking over to the blonde and wrapping her arms around him.

"Nick and I were, um, making out on my bed, and Nick's parents walked in. It was terrible you should have seen their faces." Jeff's voice warbled with fear and sadness.

"I'm sorry honey, are you ok?" Lauren cooed, rubbing his back comfortingly.

"I'm fine, I'm just worried about Nick," Jeff sighed, leaning into the girl.

"Do his parents know he's gay?" Lauren asked cautiously.

"No, which makes it worse," the blonde grumbled. Jeff's head shot up when a door slammed up the hall and Nick parent's stormed out quickly. Jeff shot up and raced back towards his and Nick's room.

"Nicky?" he called. The blonde spotted Nick in the corner of the room, curled up in a ball. Nick's knees were pulled up to his chest and his face was buried in his knees. "Nicky, baby, what's wrong?" he coaxed, kneeling next to the brunette. "Nicky, look at me," Jeff tilted the brunette's chin up and gasped in surprise. Nick's eye was swollen and forming a bruise, along with his cheek and cut lip. Jeff scanned his boyfriend, noticing more bruises on his chest and stomach. A look of pure rage crossed Jeff's face.

"Nick… who did this to you?" Jeff growled. Nick stayed silent for a few minutes, trembling.

"…My dad," Nick whispered. Jeff shot up and was out the door before Nick could even comprehend what was going on. "Jeff!" Nick used the wall to prop himself up and hobbled hurriedly after Jeff. He caught the boy in the common room, throwing himself on the blonde's back and wrapping his arms around Jeff's torso. He ignored the curious looks his friends were giving them.

"Nick I'm going to kill him," Jeff hissed, struggling against the boy's arms.

"Jeff, don't" Nick hissed, holding him back.

"You're dad hit you Nick! Look at you! You're covered in bruises!" Jeff yelled.

"WHAT?" All of the others in the room shouted. The pair's head shot up, forgetting that others were in the room.

"Oh hell no," Lauren growled. The small girl looked absolutely terrifying, despite her usual happy and cheerful demeanor. She and a few others were heading towards the door.

"Stop! Everybody just stop!" Nick yelled, then broke down sobbing. Jeff wrapped his arms around his boyfriend, hating how the brunette flinched away from his touch.

"Let's go talk about this in our room," Jeff whispered. Nick nodded slowly, letting himself be tugged away by the blonde. He stopped crying, and now he just looked numb, a dead look in his usually sparkling eyes. It frightened Jeff to see Nick this was. Jeff pushed into their room; finally noticing it's disarrayed appearance. Everything that was previously on their desks was strewn on the floor.

"Nicky… what happened in here?" Jeff asked cautiously. Nick sighed, sitting on his bed.

"After you left… my dad got a little out of control."

"Dad! Stop!" Nick shouted at the older man, who was tearing around the room like a tornado.

"Don't call me dad! I did not raise a fag!" His dad yelled. Nick's mother was crying in the doorway.

"Yeah Dad, I'm gay and I'm dating Jeff and there's nothing wrong with that!" Nick snapped. His dad whipped around shoved Nick to the ground.

"You worthless, sick piece of trash! Look what you've done to your mother with you sins! You're a waste of space and air!" He hissed. He sent a foot into Nick's ribs, causing the boy the cry out in shock and pain. That did it. Nick's dad bore down on his son and whaled on him, punching every inch of skin he could reach.

"Worthless"

Punch.

"Faggot"

Slap.

"Disgusting"

Slam.

He finally rolled off his son, sent one final kick into his side into his side.

"Kill yourself, Fag." He growled, before storming out of the room. His mom lingered in the door for a second.

"I'm disappointed Nicholas," She said coldly, before exiting the room. Nick dragged himself into a sitting position in the corner of the room before Jeff ran in.

"Oh Nicky," Jeff sobbed, wrapping his arms around the boy. Nick flinched again but remained stone faced.

"He's right," Nick finally said.

"What?"

"He's right. Not about me being gay, I know I am, but I am worthless, disgusting. I don't deserve you Jeff. I don't deserve anyone. I'm useless and awkward. The list could go on." Nick was staring at his hands, tears slowly sliding down his face.

"Oh gods Nick, baby, don't say that. You're so sweet, and kind, and beautiful and talented. Don't listen to a word he says. You're the best thing that has ever happened to me." Jeff tilted Nick's chin up, kissing the brunette lightly on the lips. Nick kissed back desperately. He needed Jeff. The blonde was the only thing he had left. Nick lost his home, his family.

"Don't leave me," Nick whispered, not meaning for Jeff to hear him.

"Never," Jeff gushed, pressing his forehead to his boyfriends.

"Promise?" Nick asked, voice cracking. He sounded so broken. Jeff grabbed Nick's hands and looked directly in his eyes.

"Nicholas Andrew Duval, I promise I will never leave you and I will never hurt you," Jeff stated. A small smile broke out on the brunette's face. "Aw, there's my boy. Now come here, you look adorable," Jeff beamed before pressing leaning in to greet Nick with a kiss.

"Nick Duval?" A timid student entered Nick's class, a pass in his hand. Joe grabbed Nick wheelchair and began rolling Nick out the door. "I'm supposed to take him, the Dean told me to tell you to go back to the room your staying in." The boy mumbled. Joe shrugged, clapped Nick on the shoulder before leaving. The student handed the teacher the pass and wheeled Nick down the hall. The silence was very uncomfortable. Finally they made it to the Dean's office. The student knocked on the door.

"Come in," the Dean's gruff voice called. The boy opened the door ad pushed Nick in, setting him right in front of the Dean's desk. "Oh, Nicholas, good." The Dean was a tall, skinny man with a balding head but a scruffy beard.

"Hello sir," Nick mumbled.

"Your parents came to talk to me yesterday." Nick stiffened immediately. "They said they found you and your roommate in an…. Incriminating state. They want to pull you out of living at school and come live at home."

"But-"

"No buts. They'll be over in a four hours. You have that time to pack and say your goodbyes. You'll still have school here, but your parents requested you only stay on campus during school hours and for Warbler practice." He waved Nick off but realized that Nick was in a wheelchair. He pushed a button on his desk and the same student entered the room.

"Bring Mr. Duval to his room, and get his roommate Mr. Sterling to help him back." The student pulled Nick out of the room and down the hall. The silence was again uncomfortable.

"Who hit you?" The boy finally piped in.

"I really don't wanna talk about it." Nick stuttered.

"Was it your dad? That's why I'm here. I saw someone's parents come in yesterday." The boy rambled.

"Yeah, it was my dad," Nick mumbled. He really didn't want to talk about it.

"And you're going home? That's rough dude, good luck." The other student shook his head with sympathy.

"Nick?" Jeff ran up beside the pair.

"Later, good luck," The student said again, walking away.

"Nick, what's going on?" Jeff asked, wheeling the brunette into their room.

"My parents talked to the Dean, I'm moving out and going back home. I'm still going to school and Warbler practice but…" Nick shrugged, fear in his eyes.

"No! Nicky you can't go!" Jeff yelled, throwing his arms around the Nick and collapsing into his lap.

"I don't want to go… what if he hurts me again?" Nick whispered, tears swimming in his eyes.

"We need to call the police! This can't happen!" Jeff blurted, now angry.

"Jeff, if I tell the police they'll take me out of my house and put me in a foster home. I'll never see you again. I'd rather stay with my parents." Nick wrapped his arms around the distraught blonde.

"But he might hurt you…" Jeff mumbled, burying his face in Nick's shoulder.

"I'll be fine as long as I have you," Nick snuggled into the blonde. "We need to pack."

"You mean I need to pack and you need to sit there," Jeff teased, trying to lighten the mood. Nick laughed, kissing Jeff's cheek.

Jeff packed Nick's stuff as slowly as possible. Someone dropped cardboard boxes off for them and now they were filled with all of Nick's belongings, leaving half to room looking bare. There was a pounding on the door. Jeff opened it to see a group of flustered Warblers.

"We heard Nick is leaving," Trent stated, gasping when he saw the boxes. "Oh god he is! What happened?

"His parents," Jeff grumbled.

"Excuse me! Coming through!" A voice demanded. A flustered Lauren burst into the room. Her eyes widened when she saw how bare it was.

"Out," She pushed the Warbler boys back and closed the door. "What's going on?"

"Nick's parents are making him live at home," Jeff sighed, burying his hands in his face.

"Nick, are you alright?" She asked, walking over to the brunette.

"I'm fine," Nick replied. He obviously wasn't but he tried to mask it. He felt like he's been wearing a lot of masks lately. Nick was usually a very open guy, his emotions easily read on his face. But now, his face was blank. The door opened again. Nick's parents were standing in the doorway.

"Nicholas, come on. We're leaving." His mother said coldly. Jeff stepped closer to Nick, resting a hand protectively on his shoulder while Lauren stepped in front of the boys.

"It's alright guys. By Jeff, see you tomorrow," Nick said, kissing Jeff on the cheek. Nick's dad's nostril's flared.

"Get the boxes dear," Nick's mother stated. The older man stacked all the boxes and picked them up. A student passed by in the hall.

"Hey boy, can you carry these to the front office for me?" He called. The startled boy, who could only be a freshman, squeaked out a yes and grabbed the boxes, scampering out of the room.

"Bye Nicky," Jeff choked out, hugging the boy. Nick smiled brokenly before his dad grabbed the handles and wheeled him forcefully out of the room.

Once they were safely outside Nick's dad dumped him on the floor.

"Stop being a pussy and walk."

Nick scrambled to his feet and began limping down the hall. His parents walked briskly in front of him, leaving him trailing behind. He stopped to say goodbye to classmates, a few hugs and waves here and there. Pain in his broken foot was slowly building up, but since his dad had his chair there was nothing to do about it. When they made it into the common room there was a gathering of Starkids and warblers alike.

"Should you be out of your wheelchair?" Jaime asked, worry evident in her voice. Nick just shrugged.

"Gonna miss you buddy," Blaine piped in, walking over and wrapping Nick into a hug. Everyone caught on and joined the hug, creating a massive pile up around the brunette. Finally everyone broke away, muttering last goodbyes. His parents watched in the corner of the room, silent but the look in their eyes said everything. They were looking at their only child with distain and even hatred. Some of the people in the room noticed and shuffled a little closer to Nick.

"Come on it's time to go," Nick's dad said a little forcefully with anger bubbling in his voice. Nick smiled weakly and followed his parents out of the room.

The rest of the walk was silent beside the heavy clopping of Nick's cast and the small click of Mrs. Duval's heels. Finally they made it to the office where Mr. Duval picked up Nick's boxes. The small family exited the massive school, only Nick sending a longing look back at the place he's been calling home for three years.

Ta da! Chapter 7 done! My writer's block is now gone so I have a plan how to end this!
