Chapter 43
Luke woke up, and didn't see Reid laying beside him, and he got up, and walked out to the living room. Reid was sitting on the couch but he didn't look right so Luke walked over sitting beside him.
"Reid what is wrong with you is everything ok"?
"My head hurts real bad, I don't know what I am going to do"?
"What do you mean all you have to do is get better"
"My head hurts, my hands are shaking, I didn't tell you what the Doctor told me"
"What do you mean"?
Reid got up feeling a little dizzy but he turned looking at Luke, and said. "They said I should quit boxing, and that is all I know, and I am good at it so I am not quitting"
"They told you to quit for now while you heal"
"No they did that brain scan, and he said if I continue he can't say, I will not hemorrhage because he sees some serious damage to my brain"
"Oh my God Reid this is serious"
"I am telling you this Luke because I don't want to hold this from you, but I am not going to quit. Life is unpredictable, but I am not going to give up the one thing I am good at"
"Reid you are smart there is a lot of things you can do. I saw those medical books in your house, you can go back to school, and go into medicine if you wanted to"
"Really who is going to pay for that you"?
"Yes, I would do that for you"
"Hell you will, I am not having anyone support me. I am going to continue boxing with or without you Luke Snyder. I was being honest that is all, I am not asking for your permission, or your advice. I love this job, and this Doctor could be wrong, and I am not giving up what I love for what ifs"
"He could be right you are being selfish you die, I will never forgive myself"
"This would not be your decision, and I am not going to die anything soon"
Luke sat down, and Reid walked over sitting beside him touching Luke's shoulder.
"Luke I am scared but I need you to understand why I am doing this"
"I am trying to understand Reid, but I am scared"
Reid smiled, "Well I promise if I think anything really bad is going to happen, I will stop"
Luke moved close as they hugged but Luke hated this, and the thought of Reid taking chances with his life was driving him crazy, but he couldn't tell Reid what to do so he would be by his side every step of the way, and pray nothing will go wrong.

Great update Jessie. I hope and pray that nothing else bad happens to Reid while he is boxing and I also hope and pray that Reid doesn't die while he continues to box. I don't blame Luke one bit for being scared for Reid. I especially don't blame Luke one bit for suggesting to Reid that he give up boxing and to go back school and become a doctor because he could hemorrhage because he has some serious damage to his brain. I hope that everything works out for Reid and Luke in this awesome story. I also hope you update this story again really soon.

Chapter 44
Reid was outside sitting on a lounge chair sipping a Pepsi. He was in pain but he was not going to tell Luke he was already worried, and he didn't need him worrying even more. Luke was sitting at the kitchen table when he heard someone knocking at his door. He got up, and opened the door, and was surprised seeing his Mom, and Grandmother standing there.
"Mom, Grandma I was not expecting you"
"We came to check up on you Luke you didn't call us back when we left a message on your cell"
"I know I am sorry, I am just out of it right now"
"Why is something wrong"? Lily asked making Luke get a little angry.
"Mom Reid is hurting, and I am worried about him so yes there is something wrong"
"Luke Snyder there is no reason to raise your voice. Where is Reid right now is he resting"? Lily said
"He is outside getting some fresh air, he is hurting but he doesn't want to scare me. I hate knowing he is in so much pain, and I can't do anything to help him"
"Luke he wants to be a boxer he knew this was what happens when you get in the ring. I am sure he will heal nicely, and he will be boxing again in no time"
"I don't really want him to box but he is not going to quit, and it is driving me crazy"
Lucinda walked over giving Luke a hug, and whispered, "I know it will be fine, I will get Reid the best Doctors, and we will not let him go back into the ring until they say it is safe"
"He won't listen he is so stubborn" Luke said but he asked them if they wanted a coffee. Lily said she would love one, Lucinda said she was going to make a call first. Lily and Luke went to the kitchen, and Lucinda walked to the back, and went outside, and walked over to Reid.
Reid jumped up when Lucinda walked over to him.
"Sit back down, and rest, I was just checking up on you"
"I am fine a little sore, but I will be back in the ring in no time"
Lucinda grabbed a chair, and walked over , and sat beside Reid.
"Reid I really admire how brave you are, and how you don't want to make Luke worry but he is scared to death"
"Why"?
"He blames himself Reid, and I hate seeing Luke this way. He has had problems in the past, and I can see you mean a lot to him. I am not saying you should quit Boxing. I am just begging you to wait until you get the ok from the Doctors that it is safe"
"No Doctor will give their ok, I was already told there is a chance I could hemorrhage if I get a hard enough blow to the head. I love Boxing it is the one thing I am good at. I will not give up Boxing because I could die in the ring, I could die tomorrow getting hit by a car. I will give it a week or two before setting up another match, but Luke has to realize what happened is not his fault at all."
"You sure are stubborn Luke is right about that. I will say I admire that but if there is a chance you could die Boxing you would be a fool continuing. I know Lily Luke's Mom is not sure about your relationship with Luke. I for one can see Luke cares for you a lot. I just hope you don't hurt him because he deserves to be happy. I want to offer you help finding the best Surgeons there are so they can do whatever tests they need to find out what is going on in that head of yours"
Reid smiled, "I will accept that, I care about Luke, and I will not hurt him"
Lucinda touched Reid's shoulder, and said, "You don't plan on it but if you die in a boxing Match my Grandson will blame himself forever" She walked away, and Reid sat there quietly thinking about what she just said.

Great update Jessie. Luke's mother Lily is so annoying as usual in this chapter. I loved the talk between Reid and Luke's grandmother Lucinda in this chapter. :)I hope that Reid heeds Lucinda's advice and that he considers quitting boxing for both Lucinda and Luke because I don't want Reid die in the boxing ring. I hope you update this Reid and Luke story again really soon.

Chapter 45
Lucinda came into the kitchen, and sat at the kitchen table with Lily and Luke.
"Did you make your call Grandma"?
"Yes, I also spoke to Reid you are right he is stubborn. I told him I am going to find the best Surgeons to do tests, and tell him exactly what is going on"
"Thanks but did he say he would see them"?
"Yes you take care of him, and I will call you once I get the appointment set up"
Lily smiled, "You like that young man outside don't you Mom"?
"More important Luke is falling in love with him. I admire him he is a good man, and I think getting him the best medical advice is the least I can do for him"
Luke got up giving his Grandma a hug as she smiled saying maybe they should leave so Luke could go out, and be with Reid.
Lily was not impressed but she got up grabbing her purse, and she walked over giving Luke a hug saying she would call him later. Luke walked them to the door, and said goodbye. He walked to the fridge, and got Reid a soda, and walked outside, and touched his shoulder.
Reid turned, and smiled, "Hey where is your Grandma Lucinda"?
"My Mom, and Grandma left she told me she talked to you"
"Yes she is worried about you, and she offered to get me another Surgeon to take some tests, and I agreed to get a second opinion"
"Thank you that would make me feel better"
"Luke what happened in the ring was not your fault. I won, I was doing what I wanted to do. I know how dangerous this sport can be but I have been pretty lucky most of my career"
"I set the match up with the Monster"
Reid smiled, "Well I beat that Monster remember"
"Yes you did but look at that sexy face of yours now"
"I am not so pretty I know but it will heal in no time"
Luke smiled as he handed Reid his soda, and asked him if he would like a snack?
"Oh yes please" Luke got up, and said he would make him something good. He gave Reid a kiss, and walked into the house. Reid sat smiling he could get use to being spoiled. He never thought he would find someone to settle down with but right this moment he knew Luke was his destiny.

Great update Jessie. I love how supportive Luke's Grandma Lucinda is of Reid and Luke in this story. Luke's mother Lily needs to get with the program and accept Reid as a part of Luke's life because Reid is perfect for Luke. I am so glad that Lucinda is making an appointment with another specialist for Reid for a second opinion so they find out what is going on with Reid and they can find out why Reid is in so much pain after his fight. I hope and pray that everything works out for Reid and Luke in this story that you are writing because they are perfect for one another and I also hope and pray that the news Reid and Luke are going to be getting from the surgeon that Luke's Grandma Lucinda is going to get for Reid isn't going to awfully bad. I hope you update this story again really soon.

Chapter 46
Luke and Reid were sitting outside just relaxing drinking their soda's. Luke reached over, and touched Reid's hand.
"Maybe you should go in now, and get some rest you remember what the Doctor said"
"I am not doing anything but sitting here but maybe you are right, I am tired"
Luke got up, and put his hand out to him, and Reid got up. He was still a little dizzy so Luke stayed beside him as he went inside. They walked to the bedroom, and Luke pulled the bedspread down, and Reid crawled in after taking his jeans off. Luke sat beside him, and gave Reid a kiss, and whispered.
"You rest, I will be downstairs if you need me"
"Wait" Reid touched his arm, and said, "Stay until I fall asleep, I don't want to be alone"
Luke smiled, "Sure" Luke took his jeans off, and got under the covers, and snuggled beside Reid.
"You in any pain Reid"?
"Just a little but I will be ok"
Luke held Reid's hand, and they looked into each others eyes. They knew they couldn't make love because his ribs were to sore. Luke has never felt so close to anyone in his whole life. There was something about Reid that made Luke's heart race. He was so sexy, and amazing, and Luke loved how strong, and passionate he was.
Reid smiled, "What is wrong Luke"?
"Nothing I was just thinking how lucky I am that you came into my life"
Reid moved close, and whispered, "No I am the lucky one"

Chapter 47
Luke woke up and leaned over noticing Reid was not in the bed. He looked around the room, and Reid was not there. Luke got up, and walked to the bathroom, Reid was in there sitting on the side of the bathtub. Luke walked over, and knelt down touching Reid's knee.
"Reid you should have woke me when you got up"
Reid was holding his side, and Luke asked him if he was in pain"?
"Yeah but it will pass I must have slept on it wrong. I hate this, I just want to go back to my life"
"Well to bad you need to get better you have bruised ribs, and your head is the real problem."
"I know what am I going to do if I can't box anymore"?
"You can be whatever you want to be Reid"
"Oh yes I have money flowing out of my pockets, I am not you Luke. I am not even considered middle class for years I would barely eat so I could have a place to sleep so don't say I can be whatever I want to be"
"We got the money from the fight you can have it all."
Reid smiled, "God Luke Snyder you have to be the nicest man I have ever met why would you let me have it all"?
"Because I know you want to go to Medical school, and I can help you make that dream possible"
"I am to old to go to school all I know is Boxing"
"Reid your life is more important than your pride. You promised me you would see that Specialist, and if he says you could die you will give up Boxing"
"Boxers get their heads hurt all the time, and they get back in the ring. I will see the Specialist your Grandmother is arranging for me. I will listen to what he or she has to say. I just want to have hope I can do what I love to do Luke can't you understand that"?
"Of course but can't you understand I am in love with you Reid Oliver, and the thought of losing you scares me to death"
"You are in love with me"?
"You must have a brain injury do you really not know by now that I love you."
Reid smiled as he went to touch Luke's face but he cringed in pain. Luke helped him up, and they walked back to the bedroom and Luke helped Reid laydown. He said he would get his pain medication. Reid touched his hand, and said, "Luke I love you too, and I really appreciate everything you are doing for me"
Luke smiled as he leaned down giving him a kiss. He got up, and said he would be back in a few minutes with his medicine and water. Reid watched as Luke walked away feeling a love that he never knew existed. He knew he didn't want to die, and he didn't want to lose Luke but that might happen if he continues his dream as a Boxer.

Chapter 48
The next few days were going well. Reid was resting, and enjoying getting to know Luke better. They had not made love but Reid was feeling stronger everyday. He was getting a few headaches but he didn't want to tell Luke because he worried to much. Reid was getting use to being spoiled by Luke, and he knew he was putting on weight with all the great meals Luke was making him or ordering in. They were on the couch watching a movie when they heard the phone. Luke got up grabbing it saying hello.
"Hi Luke"
"Hi Grandma how are you"?
"Great but I was calling to talk to Reid is he there"?
"Yes just a minute" Luke turned telling Reid his Grandma wanted to talk to him. Reid got up realizing she was probably phoning about the appointment she was going to book for him.
"Hello Mrs. Walsh"
"Lucinda is fine but Reid I got you an appointment with Dr. Scott. He is from Seattle Washington, and he wants to see you this Friday at his office."
"In Seattle Washington"?
"Yes Luke can take the private Jet for the weekend. Dr. Scott works at the Seattle Washington Hospital. He booked the appointment for 11am you are ok with going there for this appointment Reid"
"Yes thank you it means a lot to me that you care"
"I do care Reid and Dr. Scott is one of the best in the World. You remember you listen to everything he says, and promise me you will take what he says very serious"
"I will I promise".
"I will call Dr. Scott back, and say you will be there. I will call you later with more details. I will have the Private Jet ready for Friday morning tell Luke to call me tomorrow"
"I will thank you again"
"Get some rest Reid and take care of my Grandson"
"I will goodbye"
Reid hung up, and walked over to Luke and sat down.
"Did she book an appointment for you"?
"Yes in Seattle Washington she said my appointment is on Friday at 11am. She said we can use her private jet for the weekend. We could get a really nice hotel, and make a weekend trip out of this Luke". Reid said smiling as Luke whispered, "I would like that just the two of us"
Reid touched Luke's face as they smile, and than they kiss. They than laid in each others arms watching TV but thinking about the weekend and what the Doctor was going to say to Reid.

Great update Jessie. Reid is nuts not telling Luke about his headaches. I feel bad for Luke not knowing about Reid's headaches. I would want to know if Reid was having headaches. I love that Luke's grandma Lucinda got him an appointment with Dr. Scott in Seattle, Washington. I hope that Reid and Luke get some good news from Dr. Scott when they see him. I hope you update this story again really soon. This is one of my favorite stories you are writing and posting on my message board.

Chapter 49
Luke was locking up than he walked to the bedroom, and found Reid laying there looking at the ceiling. Luke's heart went out to Reid he could tell he was scared, and there was a good chance he may never fight again. Luke hated seeing Reid fight because seeing him hurting was so hard to watch but part of him knew Reid would be hurting if he couldn't get in that ring again. Luke was torn but he wanted Reid healthy, and happy. Luke walked over sitting beside Reid touching his shoulder.
"Reid I know you are scared but we have to wait and see what the Doctor is going to say to us Friday"
"Luke I don't know anything but getting in that ring, and training what will I do if they say I can't box anymore"?
"You will survive you will go on, and together we will get through it"
"Luke I know you care about me but I don't want you supporting me. All my life I have took care of myself, and I will not stop now"
"Of course but there is more to life than just boxing Reid"
"Really not for me"
"You are so stubborn Reid everyone has setbacks in their life and they move on. I saw all those medical books at your place. I have a feeling you are interesting in medical school or you are a hypochondriac"
Reid smiled, "I would have loved to go to medical school but guess what Luke I didn't have the money and I dealt with it. I turned to boxing and I was great at it so I get people have setbacks in life. I just can't give up on my dream"
"Dream of medical school or boxing"?
"I can't afford medical school so stop talking about it"
"I can help you with the costs of school and when you are a big time Doctor or Surgeon you can pay me back with interest"
Reid sat up, and got off the bed. "Luke my dream of medical school died a long time ago so lets end this discussion now." Reid got off the bed, and walked to the door, and said.
"I am getting a soda do you want one"?
"No thanks" Reid left the room as Luke sat on the bed thinking about what was going to happen. He would do anything to help Reid but he knew he better just take one day at a time because he didn't want to scare him off. Luke laid back and said a little prayer he hoped everything would work out for them but he really didn't know what Reid's future was going to be.
