This plot bunny has been tickling my feet for a while. Since I didn't get much of a response about what everyone wanted for a valentine's fic, I decided to bring this one out of the mental filing cabinet. It's gonna be rough going, but the end will be worth it.
I'm not really celebrating Valentines Day this year, but I want all of you lucky enough to have the love of your life, to enjoy it.
!Warning! This fic is gonna be rough! Read with caution and be ready for it!
Shot through the heart and you're to blame
Darlin' you give love a bad name
In the darkness of night, a motorcycle revved loudly and then sped off.
Jason couldn't believe what he'd just witnessed. He'd come home from his work at the YMCA, to find his girlfriend in the arms of a man, one that he didn't recognize. At first he'd thought she was being raped. And he'd charged in and ripped the guy away from her…she'd gotten angry and stood up in all her glory.
That's when he'd seen the love marks…and they were fresh. Her skin was glistening from the passion…that she'd shared with the man who wasn't him.
"What the hell is going on!" He'd demanded to know.
"Oh, this is my new man. His name is Patrick…you should go now."
"What am I supposed to do now? How could you? Why are you throwing every thing we had away like this? Wasn't I enough?"
The woman, he'd thought was an angel, was obviously not. Kristen shrugged her shoulders. "I don't care what you do…as long as you leave…now. I'm sure that Asian slut of yours is still waiting for you…you and those pathetic friends of yours…."
Jason's hands clinched the handlebars of his bike as he roared off. It didn't seem like he could outrun the pain in his heart…it throbbed so horribly. He rode faster hoping to outrun it…but he couldn't.
An angel's smile is what you sell
You promise me heaven then put me through hell
Chains of love, got a hold on me
When passion's a prison you can't break free
Oh! You're a loaded gun,
yeah
Oh! There's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done
Shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name(Bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name(Bad name)
Hey, you give love a bad name
He just couldn't outrun the pain…and the humiliation he felt. Maybe love really was just a myth…but then…his buddy Tommy had found it…why couldn't he?
He pulled off the road and into a bar. If he couldn't outride the pain, he'd have to settle for drowning it…or at the very least, numb the pain. He knew it would be there waiting for him in the morning…but for now, he would settle for a delusional fog.
As he sat on the barstool, and finished off his first bottle of Jack Daniels, he thought of what was supposed to be his life of bliss. Kristen had been a beautiful woman. She was amazing in bed..and so sweet. It didn't matter what she was doing. Her hands were magical and never failed to bring him to the edge of oblivion.
Paint your smile on your lips
Blood red nails on your fingertips
A school boy's dream, you act so shy
Your very first kiss was your first kiss goodbye
Whoa! You're a loaded gun
Whoa! There's nowhere to run
No one can save me
The damage is done
Shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name(Bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name(Bad name)
You give love, oh!
Jason slammed down the bottle now, thoroughly wasted. He smiled to himself, The bitch was forgotten…now he could finally get some peace! He got up from his bar stool, then tripped and fell over. He smacked his head and saw stars for a moment.
In the next moment a concerned red head knelt next to him. But all Jason saw was that beautiful asian woman he'd secretly loved from his youth.
"Trini?"
"I don't think so Darling. The name's Sherry and I think you've had enough for tonight. I'll call you a cab. Don't worry about your bike, I'll bring it out back. When you're sober again, you can come and get it."
Jason only nodded and laid back on the floor until the cab arrived. He didn't remember much after that, except of course, stumbling to a hotel room and falling into bed.
Oh! Shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name(Bad name)
Shot through the heart and you're to blame
You give love a bad name(Bad name)
I play my part and you play your game
You give love a bad name(Bad name)
You give love
You give love(Bad name)
You give love
You give love(Bad name)
You give love
You give love(Bad name)
You give love
You give love
A bad name!
The next morning, Jason woke up to a pounding headache. Who was making all that noise?
"Wake up Bro, Time to get out of bed. "
Jason sat up slowly and opened his bleary eyes. "Tommy? What the hell are you doing here? How did you know?"
Tommy was about to answer when Jason suddenly got up and stumbled to the bathroom, just making it in time to vomit.
Tommy patiently waited until his friend flushed the toilet before handing him a plastic cup of water. Silently, Jason thanked him and rinsed out his mouth before leaning against the tub.
Tommy, his comrade on and off the battle field, leaned against the sink. "The concierge went to school with us. They recognized you and called up the home dojo. I informed Kmberly and then had Adam take over for me. I'm here because you're my best friend and you need me. I've already paid for your room . Rocky is over at that bar with his 4x4 Pick Up. He'll haul it to my place. I'm taking you back to Angel Grove…where you belong."
Jason only nodded before another round of nausea hit him. Tommy walked out in disgust and then returned a moment later with a towel and washrag. "I can smell the booze all over you. You'd better shower. I'll be right back."
When he was all alone again, Jason stripped out of his soiled clothes and into the shower. As the hot water soothed his skin, and the steam surrounded him, his mind began to clear.
Zordon would be ashamed of me and so would Trini..
But then, why should she care? She's happily married with a son now.
I'm no homewrecker, but I have to at least try and tell her how much I love her!
She has to know!
