been in Ronnie’s room for the past two hours,” Patrick informed them with a grim frown. “You should have seen how shaken up the poor kid was when he got here. His parents really worked a number on him.”
“ Kid? How old is he?” Oliver asked.
“Twenty. He just seems younger because he’s so beaten down emotionally right now. You’ll understand what I mean when you see him. I feel so bad for him.” Patrick shook his head.
“I just wanted to wrap him up in a great big hug,” Becca said, her bottom lip trembling. “He looks like he’s afraid of his own shadow.”
“Then it seems like Ronnie did the right thing by bringing him here,” Vance said. “If anybody can bring him out of his shell, it’s you guys.”
“I hope you’re right. He just seems so broken,” Patrick said.
Vance pulled Patrick into his arms and kissed him. “I’m positive of it. You’re good with people, baby. I know you can help him. I have faith in you.”
Oliver snuggled deeper into Lane’s embrace, happy to be part of a couple for once instead of being on the outside looking in. Better yet, it was with somebody that he really loved. Who could ask for more?
The door to Ronnie’s room opened and Ronnie came out. With him was a thin…well, kid, that had raven hair that hung in his face, almost hiding the most beautiful set of blue eyes that Oliver had ever seen. His skin was pale and his bottom lip was raw, as if he had been biting it too much. He wore a pair of older jeans that had holes in the knees and a worn, faded t-shirt.
“Hey everybody, this is my cousin Niles,” Ronnie said.
They all made their introductions and when it came time for Oliver, he said, “Hi, my name is Oliver and this is my boyfriend, Lane.”
The words rolled so easily off of Oliver’s tongue. It made him realize that it was true; Lane was his and he didn’t have to feel guilty about it. His time to move on had come. Life was good and Oliver couldn’t be happier. He could almost feel Dave smiling down on him and telling him it was about damn time.
