Be My Guy

Chapter 7

Mason

It's been a year since Lukas moved out of town and as much as I missed my friend I could not show it to anyone. I dated a few girls but nothing worked, I avoided the clinic as much as possible because Lukas worked there. The last time Lukas and I saw each other was on Em's and Jay's wedding day, I avoided him like a plague but it did not help, those mixed feelings flooded my mind and heart again.

Today was Bradley's birthday, he works with me at the fire department. He invited all of us for drinks and so we decided to head out to some pub which was 15 km away from our town. The place was beautiful and after we entered the main entrance we climbed down a few steps before we were greeted by disco lights, the smell of booze and the sweat of bodies dancing. I got a glimpse of the place even though it was pretty dark and noticed couples making out, there were girls making out with girls and boys with boys, I noticed my friends and they seemed not affected by it. We walked through the dance floor and I felt a girl squeeze my ass but it was too dark to notice who it was. We sat at a table and ordered drinks and some steak to go with it. Brad and a couple of guys hit the dance floor after a few drinks and I noticed they managed to find themselves someone to dance with. Brad was making out with another guy and I was shocked. Noah saw me staring and said "What's wrong man?". "I did not know Brad was gay" I said, "Oh he is not gay he is bi, he likes both men and women" I nodded in understanding and continued sipping my drink. A blonde girl and her friend walked up to Noah and me. They started flirting with us and managed to get on our laps. "Sorry beautiful but I already have someone waiting for me" Noah said and the girl realised he was married so she got off and walked away. The one on my lap started rubbing her big t**s all over me. I was not interested, so while she was doing the hell she was doing, my eyes started roaming around and at a table towards the corner of the room I saw Lukas.

My heart did a stupid flip and a smile crept on my face. It was soon replaced with anger when I saw a strong muscular guy walk up to Lukas and Lukas smiled at him the way he would smile at me. The guy kissed Lukas on his lips before sitting next to him. He snaked his arm around Lukas's waist pulling him closer to his chest before smashing his lips on Lukas again. I felt my blood boil and heat rush through my veins. I was angry seeing him with another man. They man pulled Lukas to dance and I saw him squeeze Lukas ass while holding him close. I lost it, I could not deal with this anymore. I could not understand why but I walked towards the guy and punched him. "What the f**k" the man yelled and it felt like the music had stopped but I did not care. I started punching him more. My team came up asking what happened but I did not care I could not, how dare he touch Lukas, MY Lukas.  

"Mason stop, please" I heard Lukas call and it felt like my body could not help but submit to him. I stopped and turned around to see a shocked Lukas. My body tensed and so I did the only thing I thought was the best, I ran. It's been 2 days since that incident and I finally decided to head to work after hiding in my house. I was driving when I saw Lukas outside the clinic, he had his hand in a plaster and his lip and eye was bruised. I stopped my vehicle and ran towards him. When he saw approaching him he turned and started to run away from me. I chased him to an old shack which was near the lake, when he stopped to breathe. Lukas what's wrong man, I asked. "What do you want Mason" he responded with a question. "What happened to your hand and your face" I asked ignoring his question. "Nothing" he replied. I placed both my hands on his shoulder and bent my head down so that I could look into his eyes since he found the ground more interesting. "Tell me Please ... Did that asshole do this to you?" I asked and saw tears fill his eyes. "Hey.. hey.. don't cry.... please" I said and hugged him slowly not wanting to cause him any pain. We sat in silence for a while before I took Lukas home with me.

Once I made him rest on his bed, I sat at the corner of the bed and said "Are you going to tell me?" and he nodded his head. "After you left the pub, Jason asked me how I knew you and why you hit him. I told him we were friends and we kissed once but that was all... he ... he did not believe me and punched me as soon as we got back to my apartment. It's been a week since Jason and I met and he seemed decent so I agreed to go out with him, that night he beat me up really bad and he forced me...(tears rolling down Lukas's cheeks) he is from the armed forces and said that if I try to run away from him he would hunt me down and kill me. I saw my escape this morning when he went out to meet one of his friends. I decided to first get myself treated before leaving this place for good." 

So much happened and I was not there for him, my heart hurt thinking what all he had gone through. "You said he forced you ... wha what did he make you do?" I asked softly "Can we not talk about it, please" Lukas said and I nodded, I knew he would tell me when he was ready. I tucked Lukas in bed while I went down to make some food for the 2 of us. I decided I am not going to ever leave him alone,  just thinking of getting hurt made my heart cringe. I am going to protect him no matter what.
