As Adam lay in bed that night, thoughts began to race through his head. He began to reflect on his hectic schedule and everything that had happened over the past year and the past few months. He thought of Tommy - and how much they had both gone through this year. He thought of Drake and he began to miss the intimacy they had once had. Without thinking, Adam picked up his phone and dialed the one number that was once so familiar to him, but now looked foreign as it flashed on his screen. Adam lay looking up at the ceiling, listening to the dial tone as it rang through his ears. "Hello?" came a slightly confused voice, and Adam smiled as he heard Drake. "Hey!" Adam said excitedly - he could hear music in the background and faint voices. He looked at the time and realized that Drake must be in some bar. Drake paused, surprised to hear Adam's voice "Adam?….how are Ya?". He hadnt heard or seen from Adam since three months ago when they were on the beach. "I'm great! Whatya doing tonight?" Adam asked, hopeful that Drake wasn't with anyone. "Just Ahh chillin at a bar downtown. You wanna catch up?" Drake's voice was casual. Adam's face lit up and he suddenly bolted out of bed "Yeah! Where you at? Be there in 20mins or so?". Drake laughed on the other end of the phone, amused by the excitement in Adam's voice "I'm down at Nitro". Adam flicked through his wardrobe trying to find something that didn't look like he'd just jumped out of bed. He found a form fitting t-shirt and some dark jeans and pulled them on, before pulling out his makeup and dusting some foundation over his face. He carefully relined his eyes with eyeliner, stroking his eyelashes out with mascara in an attempt to look more awake. He wasn't sure what he was doing - he just needed someone to talk to and something to get everything off his mind. He gave his hair a quick brush and rubbed some gel through it, before starting out the door. As he got there he paused and turned instead towards Tommy's room. He opened the door slightly - just to check if Tommy was still knocked out. He smiled at Tommy's head on the pillow, his closed eyes still in full makeup, one hand up by his face and the other hanging down towards the floor. He made a slight whistling noise as he slept peacefully. Adam stood there for a moment, just watching - loving how peaceful and innocent Tommy looked when he was sleeping. He had been slightly disappointed that day they had slept together when Tommy had woken up first and bolted out of the bed. Adam loved nothing more than to wake up and see someone sleeping next to him. He suddenly felt sad, remembering the look on Tommy's face that morning when he had woken up - shock, anger, fear almost. So different to the way Tommy had looked the night before - the way his eyes had looked up at Adam without moving his head, how he had looked shy but curious when Adam had undone the buttons of his shirt, and that one look….of lust and passion as skin touched skin. But although that look was gone now, the words Tommy had muttered only an hour ago or so still rang through Adam's head. "I love you". Even though Adam knew that it was only the alcohol talking for the second time - he wished that he could go back and see that look in Tommy's eyes once again.

As Adam ran his fingers gently down the frame of the door, he slowly pulled the door shut, shutting out the image of Tommy as the door clicked behind him. Tonight was the night to get Tommy out of his head and forget about everything - push the burning emotions away, and just have a good night. As he walked out the door a thought struck Adam…as he remembered that Tommy was the reason he hadnt seen Drake in so long.
