Chapter 11
Haida, Jojo, Tadano, and Henry are all hanging out at the bar when Haida noticed that Jojo has been wearing long sleeves for the past 3 months, normally he would wear short sleeves or even tank tops but hes been wearing long sleeves, Haida thinks to himself what could be wrong with his rabbit but doesn't pursue the thoughts.
"Hey Haida how about another drink" Tadano says slurring his words a bit.
"Nah I think im good for now Dano, dont wanna party to hard the night is still young" Haida says laughing as he nuzzles Jojo's neck.
Henry gets up and puts in a song and begins to sing to the joy of Dano, he loves hearing his boyfriend sing even if he is tone deaf. After the song Tadano, Jojo and Haida applaud and cheer. Tadano orders Henry another drink and grabs the microphone from Henry and punches in a song.
"This song goes out to a very special person, he has been nothing but a wonderful boyfriend to me and a great provider...I love you Henry" Tadano says.
Another day has gone
I'm still all alone
How could this be
You're not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold
Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
But you are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
But you are not alone
'Lone, 'lone
Why, 'lone
Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand
Then forever can begin
Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
You are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
You are not alone
Whisper three words and I'll come runnin'
And girl you know that I'll be there
I'll be there
You are not alone
I am here with you
Though you're far away
I am here to stay
You are not alone
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
You are not alone (You are not alone)
I am here with you (I am here with you)
Though you're far away (Though we're far away, you and me)
I am here to stay
You are not alone (You are always in my heart)
I am here with you
Though we're far apart
You're always in my heart
For you are not alone...
Not alone ohh
You are not alone
You are not alone
Say it again
You are not alone
You are not alone
Not alone, not alone
If you just reach out for me girl
In the morning, in the evening
Not alone, not alone
You and me not alone
Oh together together
Henry gets up and gives Tadano a kiss as he wraps his arms around the mare's waist.
"You are so sweet to me Tadano, I love you so much baby" Henry says his face flushed from the alcohol and blushing.
"I love you too Henry thank you so much for everything and letting Jojo and Haida them live in the spare house" Tadano says then goes wide eyed, as well as Jojo and Haida.
"You mean, we get to live in that small spare house next to you guys?!" Haida asks suprised. Jojo spits his water out suprised.
Tadano puts his paw behind his head and lets out a uneasy chuckle.
"Yeah it was supposed to be a suprise. The whole house is furnashed already it has a stove, microwave, running water the whole 9 yards" Henry says.
"That is so awesome, thank you guys soo much." Jojo and Haida say together, and to Jojo and Haida's suprise both Tadano and Henry take a knee and place one arm across their chest and say in unsion, "Of course our lieges." This causes all four of them to laugh as Tadano and Henry stand up.
After a long but fun filled night Tadano's driver drops off Haida and Jojo back to Haida's appartment. Haida and Jojo stumble up to the appartment and goes inside, Jojo stumbles to the bathroom and begins to take off his cloths, Haida follows close by, he begins to undress as well then notices that Jojo has some cut marks on his left shoulder.
"Babe what happened to your shoulder?" Haida asks softly as Jojo just covers' his shoulder, "Oh I got scratched by a cat" Jojo lies. Haida just shrugs his shoulders and gets in the shower with Jojo as they both begin to rinse off. Fifteen minutes later the couple gets out of the shower, into their pajamas, and into the bedroom. Once in bed Haida lays next to Jojo and places his arm over his boyfriend's waist and softly licks the marks on his shoulder.
"Babe, I know you're lying to me, those are to deep for a cat and they seem fresh, also i been by your side and not once seen a cat cross our path so please tell me whats wrong" Haida softly begs.
"I didn't want to tell you from the beginning but, im sick, not a cold or flu sick but I got a mental sickness, I didn't want to tell you because I was afraid that you wouldn't love me" Jojo says as he begins to whimper.
"My queen...My silly silly queen, you have no reason to be afraid, you can tell me anything, there is nothing that you could do that would ever make me not love you" Haida whispers into Jojo's ears as he brings Jojo close to him, his chest brushed up against Jojo's bare back.
"I...Im so scared" Jojo begins to breath rapidly, Haida sensing that Jojo is having a panic attack holds him close and whispers to him, "Shhhh its ok, you're fine, you are safe in my arms, I will protect you and keep you safe always" Haida begins to hum a lullaby as Jojo's breathing slows down.
The next day Haida wakes up and sees that Jojo is not in bed, getting concerned he gets out and begins to search the house, not seeing Jojo anywhere he hops in his car and begins to drive, fearing the worst that maybe Jojo got kidnapped again he stops the car abruptly as he sees Jojo standing on the ledge of a bridge.
"Jojo...no no no no" Haida whispers to himself as he goes up and wraps his arms around Jojo's waist and brings him down off the ledge. Jojo begins to scream to be let go. But Haida holds his arms tight around his boyfriend, a few moments later Jojo stops screaming and just begins to cry.
"I just want to die, please let me die" Jojo says repeatedly in between sobs.
"No I'm not letting go, not now not ever. I love you so much you have no idea what you mean to me, do you have any idea the damage it would cause me knowing you were gone. What is a king without his queen" Haida says softly holding back the tears.
Jojo was sitting in his car when a knock came on his window, he looked up, his eyes puffy from crying. It was Haida with a look of concern on his face.
"What's wrong my queen?" Haida asks as Jojo holds up his phone and shows Haida a text from his sister. Reading the text Haida's heart just drops, his poor queen struggling only to have a falling out with his sister. Haida looking in the passenger seat notices a gun with only one bullet in the chamber. Alarms going off in his head, he calmly asks his lover to open the door but Jojo just shakes his head and rolls up the window, Haida grabs his keys from his pocket and uses the spare to unlock the door, He unbuckles Jojo and yanks him out the sobbing bunny crying as Haida wraps Jojo in his arms.
"babe what can I do to help, I don't want you to go through this alone, you are my queen, you are my greatest treasure. I want to help you heal ok, please please let me help you" Haida whispers softly as his tears stain the rabbit's fur.
