Ace shook his head, pulling on Scotty's hand. "I can't. I gotta get home.." He said, his hands shaking. Gavin bit his lip. The kid looked really familiar. That's what was bothering Gavin about it.
"You work at the hospital, huh?" He asked the boy, and Ace just pulled on Scotty's hand. Gavin couldn't help thinking Clinton was going to be seriously pissed at him, but he walked around the side of Scotty, grabbing him by the elbow gently. Ace wanted to scream, not wanting to let go of him.
"Who's hitting him?" Gavin asked, holding Scotty's elbow. "I don't care how fucking famous I am either. No little kid deserves to be beaten on. You can convince him to come with us, and we're going to help him, or he can go home and die." He let go of Scotty's arm, looking over at Ace, who had resorted to curling up next to Clinton.

"I know you do Ace.." he said softly running his fingers through his hair. "We can go back home." he said quietly, not wanting Ace to leave. He wanted to stay with them..he wanted to know that both of them would be safe. But in the end he also knew that it would be worse for Ace if he wasn't home before his foster father expected him to be home.
Clinton narrowed his eyes at Gavin. He was pissed off. Clearly he couldn't understand what Clinton meant by leaving them alone.
Scotty glared at Gavin, hated the feeling of his hand wrapped around his arm.He didn't want to answer him. He didn't want anything to do with him, but the fact that he thought Ace was being abused got to him. He couldn't believe that someone..a complete stranger..that was famous..cared enough to want to care for him.
"His foster father." he said quietly pulling away from him. He looked over at Ace and opened his arms, wanting to hug him close.
Clinton watched the transaction, not sure what he wanted to do. But something about the small, damaged boy being curled around his body made him want to protect him. "Gavin..where are you going with this?"

Ace walked back over to Scotty, wrapping his arms around him. He started to cry, hiding his face in Scotty's shirt. He hugged him tightly, shaking so bad he could have been having a seizure.
"I'm.. Get pissed at me, Clinton.. But you haven't seen that boy bring my mom gowns in the hospital, you haven't seen him smile at everyone. He's been hurt, like all other boys have. But damnit, Clinton, falling off your bike is one thing and having someone punch you in the fucking /face/ is another. He's helped my mom, and that's the only reason I need to help him.." He crossed his arms over his chest. He hated knowing Clinton was mad at him, he hated to think they would be sleeping in seperate beds, but he remembered the boy from helping his mother.
Ace sniffled, reaching up to wipe his nose. It hurt so bad he started crying again. He moved closer to Scotty, his jaw trembling. "I don't know what you think you're gonna do.." He mumbled, looking at Gavin.
"I'll quit this and take care of you. If it means you got the same childhood the rest of us had.." Gavin said, looking over at Clinton. "Doesn't he deserve at least that?"

Scotty rubbed Ace's back kissing the top of his head. He hated that he was crying. He knew it was because of how things had turned out, and that killed him. He wanted to have as normal of a date as they could. And then it got ruined.
Clinton listened, knowing what Gavin was saying was right. He couldn't be mad at him. He couldn't be angry when all he was trying to do was the right thing. He walked over to Gavin, wrapping his arms around him and kissing him softly. "I can't be mad at you when all you are trying to do is the right thing."
"It's okay Ace..." he whispered pulling him closer. He lifted up the corner of his shirt, trying to gently dry his eyes.
"Yes." Clinton said softly. "But you can't quit your dream." he said grabbing onto his hand.
He looked into the crying boys eyes. "What would you think about me adopting you?" he asked softly. "That way you wouldn't have to get hurt anymore."

Ace clung to Scotty, wincing as he touched his face. He looked down, trying to hide the hurt. He didn't want Scotty thinking he had hurt him. He listened to them talk, heard Gavin say something about not caring if it was his dream. Ace realized it was just them there not except the rest of the band and a few photographers.
"You can't adopt me.." He said, holding onto Scotty. He kept his face hid as best he could, trying not to hit his nose. Gavin climbed up the fence, sitting on the top of it.
"AERIN!" Ace winced, drawing closer to Scotty in fear.
"Please don't come over here.. please don't come over here.." He mumbled. He was pulled away from Scotty by the collar of his shirt.
"What did you say?" The man asked him, turning the boy to look at him.
"Nothing.." Ace whimpered, drawing his hands to his chest.
"Get in the car."
"But Scotty-"
"CAR." He screamed, and Ace nodded, crying again as he started towards the parking lot, wringing his hands together.

Clinton watched the scene in pure horror. He couldn't believe how quickly things had turned. One minute they were standing there and they were talking about possible adoption. Clinton pulled out his phone, walking away from the scene for a moment and quickly calling 911, as well as waving over Gavin's security team.
"Stop!" Scotty yelled running after Ace and his foster father. "Please..stop.." he pleaded catching up to him. He grabbed onto Ace, pushing him behind him. "Don't hurt him." he said staring the man down. "Don't take him away from me."

"Did he touch you?" One of the security guards asked Gavin and he shook his head. "No, but he punched that kid in the face." He said, rocking back and forth on the fence. He watched as the man was restrained, kicking and throwing punches. Gavin gestured for them to come over to the fence with him.
"It's okay, buddy." He said with a smile, watching the way the boy clung to the taller boy. "A doctor is gonna come look at you, okay? Clinton won't let anyone hurt you." He reached down, patting his head gently.
"Don't take Scotty.." He pleaded, looking over at Clinton. "He's all I got.."

Clinton moved to sit next to Gavin. "Do you see what we have gotten ourselves into now?" he said looking up at him. "Yea, it's awesome that we saved that kid..but what about us Gavin?" he said frowning. "How am I supposed to take care of a kid and be with you?" he chewed on his lip trying not to cry. "I just got you...I'm not ready to lose you."
Scotty walked with Ace back over to Gavin and the photographer. He knew that he would always be grateful to them. Grateful that they did something that he had never had the courage to do. To save Ace. "I'm not going anywhere Ace.." he whispered looking at him before kissing his forehead.
"Here.." he whispered pulling his back pack off and taking out several water bottles handing them to him.

Gavin leaned over, kissing him softly. He reached over, taking his hand gently. "You aren't going to lose me, Clinton. Nothing could take you from me." He said with a smile. "You saw what no one else saw, and that's me. You saw past the make up and the skinny jeans and you saw me. And that's all I've ever wanted. And if I have to give this up, then that's fine by me. I always wanted a family anyways." He laid his head on Clinton's shoulder.
"They're going to think we're all insane if they show up here and I'm perfectly fine." He said, drawing his hands to his chest again. He knew how hurt he was, he knew all too well that being near water was enough for it to just burst from the bottle. But he didn't want to go back with the man, he didn't want to be hurt again. He felt a hand on his shoulder and screamed. He looked up, seeing it was just a nurse.
"My God.." She breathed, obviously horrified at what she saw. He looked down, crossing his arms again.

Clinton breathed a sigh of relief pulling Gavin's body into his own. "I don't want you to give up your dream." he said softly starting to rub his back. "We'll figure something out..even if it's Ace and myself staying home while you are out on tour."
Scotty sighed and nodded. He put away the bottles of water, keeping in mind that after awhile he can pull them out again so Ace can heal himself. After Ace screamed Scotty started to rub his back, trying to comfort him as the nurse talked to him. After a few minutes Scotty whispered into Ace's ear. He said that he was going to be a couple feet away talking to Gavin. He smiled and kissed his neck before walking over to the two older men.
"I want to thank you..for saving Ace. He's been abused since he was 4.." he said softly coughing. "We've been to scared of losing each other to do anything about it..so..I just want to make it clear that I'm not going to be leaving Ace anytime soon. And if you really want to adopt him then you can expect him not to leave my site..."
