Jonesy
was finding it hard living with Alex now, especially after what
happened between Alex and Susie. When Jonesy got home Alex was
sitting on the lounge watching TV, eating Pizza and drinking beer.
"Just
enjoying my day off mate" Alex said to Jonesy "Wanna join
me?"
Jonesy
walked over and sat down on a different chair, "Not really"
he said.
"Mate,
this can't go on forever, I told you that it wasn't meant to happen.
I didn't know that you had feelings for her OK. I'm sorry"
"Yeah
well so am I because I've stuffed everything up now OK. So don't tell
me that it was an accident because it's all bullshit Alex, your tryin
to cover your arse".
"Jesus,
Jonesy don't blame your mistakes on me you can still fix this with
her. You shouldn't have reacted the way you did when she found out.
All she wanted was a clean start with you mate and you threw it in
her face, she was being bloody honest"
"Yeah
well why don't I be bloody honest, mate" Jonesy yelled "Your
supposed to be my mate and you went and slept with the one person who
I am in love with, some bloody mate you are"
"Jonesy,
your making circles outta this, mate" Alex stood up "I just
said I didn't know. You need to move on... get over it or get over
her, but quit whinging that you haven't got her because it was your
own choice to let her go in the first place"
Jonesy
stood up and looked Alex in the face, "Your not my mate"
"I
wouldn't bet your life on that" Ales said "Mate".
He
walked into his room and slammed the door. Jonesy picked up his half
drank beer and took a big gulp of it. He'd had another two before he
decided to go and see Susie.
Susie
heard a knock at her pub door, she sighed angrily. She didn't want
visitors.
"Who
is it?" she said abruptly, they knocked again. "Who is it?"
There
was no answer, just another knock. Susie stormed to the door, there
stood Jonesy.
"You!"
she said loudly storming past him and running down the stairs
quickly. Jonesy pulled her door shut and walked after her.
"Chrissy,
you haven't seen Suse have you?" Jonesy asked.
"Yeah,
she just hurried out of here, she looked upset. Is everything
alright?" Chris asked concerned.
"Oh
in a way... no" Jonesy said hurrying off. It was raining
outside, he was unsure of where Susie would go.
He
ran out onto the street. He looked around quickly, worried.
"Suse?"
he yelled out. He ran down to the street and looked both ways; he saw
her walking back towards the station. She was soaking wet, as the
rain was pretty heavy. "Suse wait".
She
looked back briefly and kept walking quickly. "Leave me alone
Jonesy, you're the one who said you wanted nothing to do with me
remember".
"I
was wrong" he yelled. Susie slowed down a little. Jonesy caught
up.
"You
were wrong!" Suse yelled back at him, she slapped him across
the cheek, "Well you can't be wrong, you should know that
Jonesy"
Jonesy
stood back quickly, "You hit me?" he said shocked. "You
know I could have you charged with assault", he joked.
"Don't
Jonesy, this time I've had enough stuffing around. I've had enough
joking and enough of, of... of just everything OK" Susie
sighed, "I'm sorry, we can't".
Susie
pushed past Jonesy and headed back to the room at the Imperial.
Jonesy ran after Susie and grabbed her arm. She tried to pull away
but he still held it firmly.
"So
that's it?" he said, she turned around
"That's
it Jonesy, OK, that's enough now" Susie said, again.
"You
expect me to live without you?" He smiled "The at least let
me have this"
"Wha..."
Susie started. Jonesy grabbed her and kissed her passionately, she
returned the kiss.
"OK,
Jonesy... that's enough now" she said and walked away.
He
watched her figure disappear into the pouring rain.
