Zeke frowned, eying the bruise at Casey's temple. „I can't believe it,“ he snarled. „I really thought he would have learned his lesson.“
Casey blinked, obviously nervous. „It was not Gabe.“
„Huh? So now this fucker sent others to bully you?“
„No! It was no one from school. Let it rest, Zeke, please.“
Annoyed, he narrowed his eyes. „No, I won't, I won't turn my eyes away when some treats you like this. But maybe you should think about it to take some self-defense lessons. I can't be around all the time. Friend of mine is working at a training studio; I could...“
Casey sighed deeply. „It was my dad.“
„What?“ Full of disbelief, Zeke stared at him; okay, the Connors had never gotten the price for the most loving parents, but this did overstep every line. „He hit you? What's happened?“
„He did find out. Me, hanging around in your garage so often, and... all about us. He was pretty shocked.“
„This is not an excuse.“
„He says he will send to me to the school of a friend, where they will teach me to be a real man,“ Casey whispered; now tears were sparkling in his eyes.
Zeke rolled his eyes. „What kind of bullshit is this? You are legal; you will go to College after summer. He can't force you to anything.“
„As if this is so easy. He will kick me out of the house, doesn't pay a penny for College. Even if I could find a part-time job, it would never be enough.“
„I have a guest room. That's a beginning; the rest we will figure out later.“
„You serious?“ Casey stared at him with eyes wide open, with a mixture of surprise and hope. „But what will the others say?“
Zeke smirked. „Since when do I care about other people? But I care for you.“ Gently he placed his thumb onto the bruise on Casey's face. „And you can't live under the same roof with this homophobic prick any longer.“
