Chapter 21: The Breakdown
Darius just finished all the paperwork and walked out of his office when he heard something. He looked around because he thought he was alone here. He walked towards Toms office when he realised that someone was sobbing. He pushed the door to Toms office open and gasped.
Tom was sitting on the ground, staring at a picture. Darius heart broke as he saw the tears running down his cheeks. He walked further into the room and sat down beside Tom. Tommy looked up and Darius could see the shock and shame in his eyes.
"Hey ...I was just..." Tom wishpered.
"Hey come here" Darius said, pulling Tom closer and wrapping an arm around him.
"What happened?" Darius asked.
"I can´t anymore...it´s too much!"
"Ssh...it´s going to be ok"
"How Darius. I´m going crazy...I can´t sleep more than a few hours...god I just accused Jude of sleeping with my best friend." Tom yelled. Darius sighed and picked up the picture lying in front of Tommy. He looked at it and smiled sadly. The picture showed a 6 year old Tommy on the arms of the man who´s calling himself his father.
"Tom why are you doing this to yourself?"
"He´s my father and he´ll always be. I dosen´t matter what I want because in the end I´m not strong enough to go through with it."
"What do you want?"
"I want to kill him."
Tom looked at Darius and he looked deeply into his eyes as he said.
"Tom I won´t say this again so you better listen...you know me I´m not good with feelings. You are an amazing singer and songwriter. You always think about other persons before you think about youself. You are an amazing person and I´m so glad that you are my friend or whatever we are."
"Yeah?" Tom wisphered, tears running down.
"Yeah!" Darius smiled.
I know it´s short but I hope you like it.
