chapter 19
Once the couple arrives to the once again familiar house and the brunette practically jumps out of the car, they both run and ring the door bell impatiently. It's the shaking in Laurence's hands and the absolute fear in Laurence's eyes that makes Garroth realize just how much those kids meant to him. It was also how Laurence just slammed right through the door once Bruno had opened it. "What happened?!" He screams, noticing the tears rolling down the grown man's cheeks and out his eyes.
"She came home with a man and was out of control, Laurence. She tried to kill them! S-She tried to kill my kids! The man left immediately but I had to tie her up. Over there," He whispers and points towards the kitchen where a woman in a short black dress and black heels was tied up, her wrists burning red from the ropes tied on them. Her hair was an absolute mess and she had a napkin in her mouth to muffle her crazy screaming. But she just continued to groan while swinging her feet around. She was also half asleep.
"Holy shit," Garroth breathes out and a millisecond after, a cry shouts from upstairs. All the men turn to look and see Valeria standing at the top of the steps.
"Oh, Dios mío, mi princesa, ¿estás bien?" Laurence speaks, rushing up the stairs and pulling the little girl in for a hug. He continuously questions her in Spanish, tears rolling down both of their faces as they give each other tight hugs. Not long after that, Nicolás walks out of his room and stands near Valeria with Sebastián in his arms. "Are you all okay?!" Laurence interrogates, his voice sounding the most protective anyone has ever heard.
"Yeah. Val and I got hurt badly but we made Sebastián hide from her, so he didn't get touched," Nicolás whispers, tears spread out across his face. He groans loudly after finishing his sentence, clutching his stomach and beginning to cough and hack.
"Garroth!" Val cries, rushing over to the blonde at the bottom of the steps. Garroth picks her up and gives her long everlasting hug.
"It's okay! I'm here little ladybug," The blonde whispers, giving hugs to Laurence, Nicolás, and Sebastián as they come downstairs to join Val.
"Go! Get them out of here before she wakes up, please," Bruno shakily utters, a painful smile on his face as he motions to the psychopath that was tied up, who was sadly their mom, in the kitchen.
"A-Are you sure y-you don't want to come? I mean—"
"Go! Now!" He shouts, shoving all 5 people out of the front door.
"But what about her?! Aren't you going to call the cops!?" Garroth asks him quickly, Bruno sighs and shakes his head.
"I can't, I mean I- I still love her."
"Oh what bullshit! Don't you love your kids more, though?! That woman comes home with different men and she tried to take the life of your kids and you wont call the cops because you love her? Seriously?!" Garroth shouts loudly, cradling Val like a baby. Bruno sighs and wipes his eyes, smiling softly at Garroth and whispering 'you're right' before quickly snapping his head around to look over at the kids' mom. He turns back to them and nods them off, shutting the door immediately.
All the boys groan as Valeria smiles. "How are you smiling at a time like this Val?!" Laurence whimpers, picking the small girl up from Garroth's arms.
"I'm smiling cause you're here with me," She giggles, cuddling into the brunette's shoulder. Garroth smiles, watching as people who were both extremely important to him cuddle. After that, all the kids and the two adults hop into Laurence's car, backing out of the driveway and going down the road. "So are you and Gary dating?" The teeny tiny little girl asks, excitement clear in her voice.
"Did you just call me Gary—"
"Yes princesa. We are dating now," Laurence responds whilst cutting Garroth off mid question.
"About fucking time," Nicolás mutters with a smirk. The adults' eyes widen as Val gasps with a large grin, Sebastián just sitting there confused.
"Nicolás! No cursing around your siblings! Or especially me!" The adult latino warns, growling lightly as Nicolás sighs with a laugh.
"Lighten up, baby. Relax," Garroth whispers to his boyfriend. But however, suddenly the car begins to slow and eventually stops. Laurence groans and smacks the wheel, leaning back and hitting the front of his car seat.
"Fucking shit."
"RELAX," Garroth hisses, pulling out his phone, clicking on Dante, Travis, and Laurence's contacts and creating a group chat between the four of them. "I just texted Dante and Travis to come help us with gas. But I need you to chill my little whiny baby," The blonde whispers in Laurence's ear once he had leaned closer. He sends the older a loving smile and a small hug.
"Did we run out of car juice?" Valeria questions, fear evident on her face.
"Yes, Val. We did but the car juice men and coming to refill it, so it's okay," Nicolás whispers playfully whilst wrapping his baby sister in a hug. He smiles at the two men who were grinning ear to ear at his response. "Who are Dante and Travis anyways?"
"Laurence's two best friends."
"Well where are your best friends?" Val whines. The blonde lets out an 'awww' before responding,
"I don't have any. I mean I have close friends, but not best friends," He responds, giggling at the girl's sparkling eyes.
"Can I be your best friend?! Pretty pleaseee?!"
"Eh, I don't see why not," Garroth links pinky fingers with Valeria, goofily beaming afterwards. His boyfriend smiles with pure joy and love and kisses the blonde's pale cheek. A blue car rolls up behind them and parks, both Dante and Travis stepping out with normal facial expressions.
"Well Dante and Travis are here. Kids stay in the car while me and Garroth go help them," The brunette demands, stepping out of the car and helping Garroth out as well. They begin to walk over to Dante and Travis before the older grabs his boyfriend's palm and intertwine's their hands together. "I love you, baby."
"I love you too, Laur."
