Again.

He's done it again. Everytime I finally get the man out of my head, something happens and BAM, he jumps right back in there, all because of one Scottish twat, shouting his mouth off.

"OY!" He screamed storming down the ally from ChezChez "You got me into some right shit!"

Confused, I replied "What the hell are you going on about?"

"You haven't realised have you?"

I shook my head.

"He's so hung up on you, do ya know that?"

Attempting to exit, I gave a stern look and said "Look mate, I don't know wether it's because you have been hanging around Brendan like a lost lamb too much but your making no..."

"I don't know what's going on with you two, or what happened, but I'm not putting up with it!"

"Joel! For crying out loud WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT"

After a few seconds, I noticed his newly drenched jacket, and it all took shape.

"Brendan ..." I whispered

"You don't say!"

"He's nothing to do with me" I looked him up and down, smirking "Seems like he's found himself another toy boy to mess around with!"

"He did this because of you!"

"What the hell does pouring Champagne over you have to do with m..."

"You've got that Irish bastard wrapped around your finger, enjoy embarrassing me do you?"

"It's not like that ..."

"Oh come off it Ste! You are obviously still doing some dirty work for him! No matter how much of a gobby little shit you are, he still cares! Worth a bit of money are you? Know a hotspot for drugs? How does it happen? GO ON! SPILL!"

I knew this would happen. I would have to explain to someone sooner or later what happened, and I had never for one second planned for it to be Joel.

"It just happens!" I continued "You don't know it happens or want it to but it does! One minute your enemies, next friends, then lovers but before you know it, he uses you, beats you up for no apparent reason, tells you he loves you, but continues to hurt you! You think you can trust him, but then he screws you over, having you believe it was always something that you've done! He gets into your brain and controls you, but you can't help but like it! He's like a drug, Joel, don't make the same mistake I did!"

Before I could stop myself, I broke down in tears, with Joel stood above me, frozen to the spot. He looked down at me, helpless, and then sat beside me. It went silent.

Joel broke it.

"Ste, what happened?"

I looked up, eyes raw red from the tears I had shed.

"I can't ..." I squeaked, before running as far away from him as possible.
