BOOK 2: FIGHTING FOR NO REWARD
CHAPTER ELEVEN.
"So what he just blurted it out?"
"Apparently, he just told J what happened and J went berserk."
Later on back at Michael and Ben's apartment, Andy was trying to explain what had happened.
"What did he say?" Michael asked, interested.
"He gave him some spiel about how Brian never promised him anything-..."
"Well he didn't."
Ben who had been eating dinner all this time joined the conversation for the first time that evening.
"True, but who do you think Justin is better off with Ethan or Brian?"
"That's not my place to say." Said Michael defensively.
"Ethan may have made a mistake, but he's been a much better influence on Justin then Brian has."
Ben looked at both Michael and Andy for reassurance, but he wasn't getting any. Neither Andy nor Michael looked up from their dinner to even silently agree with him.
"Ok then what's your opinion's?"
"No matter what Ethan did, even if he brought J fucking Buckingham Palace, J would still prefer Brian. He was and still is the one that J wants, he's the one J will always want."
Andy looked back down at his dinner. Michael and Ben looked at each other, they knew how much Andy loved Justin. They even thought that Justin would do well to be with Andy. But the fact of the matter was Andy was right, Justin had always loved Brian and no matter how much they fought, nothing would ever take that love away from him, ever.
"Andy." Michael said soothingly.
"Don't, just don't. I've had enough for one night. I think I'm gonna turn in."
"You sure?" asked Ben.
"We were gonna have a romance movie marathon."
"Thanks guys, that's really sweet but I think the only marathon I can deal with right now is one that involves sleep."
Andy got up, Kissed Michael and Ben on the cheek and walked into his bedroom, shutting the door behind him. He had no idea what he thought was going to happen tonight. Maybe a part of him secretly wished that after Ethan told J the truth J would come crying to him, they would talk and eventually end up together again. Instead however J had turned everything around by yelling at him, and he'd said the one thing he never thought he would, the one thing that would assure that they would not get together. How could he have been so stupid as to tell J that Brian still loved him?
