Bosco sat alone in his apartment feeling alone for the first time in a
long time.. Faith was only a phone call away. All he had to do was pick
up the phone and she would be here. Anger raged inside him. Anger and
lonliness were a bad combination. Along with the hurt and the betrayal he
was feeling at the moment he didn't thing twice when he grabbed the bottle
of tequila off the shelf and poured himself a big glass, hoping to froget.
***********
Faith stood at the frond door of Bosco's apartment building. She swore she wouldn't go after him tonight but fear got the better of her. She needed him now more then ever. Faith shuttered at her weakness. After all they had been though in the last week he still let the capitains words tear him away from everything they had worked for. She used her key and headed up the flight of stairs that would take her to heaven or maybe hell.
Faith opened the door to Bosco's apartment. Only the light above the stove was eluminating the room. Her eyes took a minute to ajust. Thats when she saw him. Sitting in his recliner. Glass in one hand gun in the other. He looked up at her tears in his eyes.
"Bosco, no." She stood perfectly still. Afraid to breath.
"Go home Faith."
"No. I will never leave you. You made me promise."
"You don't have to keep it Faith."
"Bosco don't. We can make it though this."
"I can't fight anymore."
"Bullshit. What am I suppose to do if you eat your gun? Huh? What am I suppose to tell the kids, your mom?"
"Tell them I was weak."
"No I won't lie to them." She took a couple of steps forward. Bosco's fingure slid over the trigger. "Put the gun down Bos."
"Their going to take it all away. My job, you. Everything."
"No Bosco. Never I won't let them."
"You can't stop them Faith."
"Don't do this to me. Don't leave me alone. I can't make it without you. "Faith took two more steps forward. "I know you never want to hurt me like that."
"You'll be okay."
"No Bosco. You die tonight and I will never be okay again." She took one step forward and got on her knees in front of him. "I will go down to work and work it out. I won't let them separate us."
"He won't listen."
"Yes he will." Faith laid her hand on his hand with the gun. "I love you Bosco." She laid her head on his lap. "I need you here with me." She felt his hand slide off the gun and into her hair. She slid the gun over as he sobbed.
"I'm so sorry Faith. I just....."
"We're going to get though this. I swear." Faith raised her head and kissed him. She needed to fell alive and prove to him that she was going to make it all right. She took the drink out of his hand and sat in his lap kissing him hard. "Love me Maurice. Don't ever stop." She needed to feel alve and make him feel loved.
"Faith...Oh god Faith I'm so sorry. I just...."
"Sheeee just love me and we can forget this all happened. We'll figure it all out in the morning." She got up and lead him into the bed room and showed him how much she needed him..
