The past week, Adam hadn't left Tommy's bed side at all. He didn't leave for anything but a bathroom break. He hadn't shaved, causing small stubble to appear around his mouth, and his hair was a mess, but he didn't care. His pretty blue eyes were sunken, and he had black bags outlining his smear eyeliner. He had canceled all his shows, knowing that he wouldn't be able to focus and that would be unfair to the fans. And he was unaware of the fact that his cheek was purple and a bit swollen after Monte had punched him when he got a chance once Cam and Isaac drifted away. After the punch, the guitarist simply stated it was for 'Adam's own good'. But he didn't even feel the pain. The only pain he felt was in his heart.

And he knew why he felt this pain. Over the back week or so, Adam was able to collect his thoughts and figure out everything. What he had done, and why he had done it. He loved Tommy, he realized, but he just didn't want to admit it to himself because he knew it was wrong. He lost all of Tommy's trust, and would probably never gain it back. And he was killing himself for that…

On the ninth day of Tommy not waking up, Adam was beginning to go into a deep state of depression. He was currently asleep with his head on Tommy's lap and a series of small snores escaping his mouth.

The bassist groaned lightly, fluttering his eyes open and shifting a little. He licked his lips and grasped his head, blinking and trying to remember what happened. Then in a sudden flashback, everything came back to him and he whimpered, wincing at the obscene memories he was witnessing. He shifted his legs and a heavy groan filled his ear. He glanced down and saw Adam sitting up and rubbing his eyes.

"Tommy?" Adam asked, looking at him. He grinned and was about to hug him, but the blond whimpered and shrunk back, terrified that the singer was going to hurt him again; so he winced and shut his eyes, waiting for the impact of Adam's blow.

Tommy felt something soft and warm on his cheeks. He slowly opened his eyes. Adam's hands were cupping his face. The blond saw tears rolling down the singer's cheeks. Adam was really glad to see that Tommy is finally awake from his long sleep. The bassist felt touched when he saw Adam's messy hair and appearance and also his bruised and pale face.

But his mind suddenly showed him what he has been through before he ended up in that hospital. He slapped Adam's hands away. "Don't touch me!" Tommy shouted at Adam. The singer was taken aback by Tommy's slap on his hands and his shout. He was really sad when Tommy did that but he knew he totally deserved this kind of treatment from his bassist because of all the things he had done.

Adam sighed, he put both his hands on his thighs and said "Tommy, I'm so sorry. I know I have been a bitch to you these past few days. But I didn't mean to hurt you, it's just that I find it hard to accept that I actually have feelings for you. I'm so sor-" Tommy cut Adam before he could finish his words.

"Shut the fuck up! I don't want to fucking hear anything coming from your filthy mouth! Get out! Get out!" Tommy began to scream like a maniac. Adam was hurt and his tears began to come out again. Monte, Cam and Isaac stormed into the room when they heard screaming. They rushed to Tommy, surprised to see that Tommy has woke up. Cam hugged the blond to calm him down.

Isaac pressed the button laying next to Tommy's bed to call the doctor and nurses. "Adam, why didn't you call the doctor when Tommy woke up?" Isaac asked the singer. Adam wiped his tears off and replied

"I'm sorry. I forgot. I was too happy to see Tommy waking up…" Monte glared at Adam, they haven't talk to each other since he punched him. The guitarist was really upset at Adam for doing those terrible things to their pretty little friend.

"Adam, maybe you should just go…" Cam mused softly, rubbing his back after she released Tommy from her hug. "You don't want to put strain on his body, do you?" she asked humbly. He shook his head, tears still spilling out of his eyes. "Go clean yourself up, baby…" she said, pushing Adam out. Cam was seething with rage at Adam for what he had done to Tommy, but she knew he was beating himself up, so there was actually no reason to make him feel like even more shit.

The singer groaned a bit and rubbed his eyes furiously and walked down the hallway, ignoring the stares he got. He licked his lips and went into the bathroom. Luckily for him, this hospital was chalk-full of supplies to clean yourself up. It was however, a bathroom for undivided visitors. So he grabbed the razor and shaved off his stubble and washed his hair in the sink. He moaned lightly, touching his swollen cheek. He still looked like shit, but there wasn't much he could do. The singer rinsed his mouth out with mouthwash and straightened his clothes, trying to look somewhat decent.

Once he thought he looked presentable, he walked out of the bathroom and quickly sprinted back to Tommy's room where he opened the door just and crack when he heard his name.

"Mr. Ratliff, you can press charges against Lambert. He did however do all this to you…" Adam didn't know who was talking, but he pressed his ear against the door. Assuming it was a lawyer, Adam listened more intently.

"I-I know…But doing that w-would just ruin his career and I can't do that to him…I don't want any charges pressed against Adam…" Tommy mused sadly.

"Well, no charges will be pressed by you. But he will be charged with assault from the state. He won't go to prison, but you will have a restraining order against him for some time…."

"NO! You…I mean…You can't have a restraining order against us! I…Adam and I, we…" Tommy seemed to be trying to form a sentence, but it just wouldn't work.

"Tommy! He raped and hit you! Don't you think a restraining order is the most rational thing to do?" That was Monte. Adam growled under his breath. Just shut up, Monte!

"No, Monte…I…"

The truth is Tommy still loved Adam. Tommy loved Adam to bits, but he just didn't want to say it.

"Just don't fucking press any charges against him! My decision is I don't want any charges pressed against Adam and that is final!" Tommy said with a quite high voice.

"But Tommy-" Monte tried to convince the blond to press charges against Adam for his own sake.

"Monte, please respect my decision…" Tommy said. Monte tried to utter another word but stopped when he saw Tommy's serious face.

"Okay, there's nothing we can do if Mr. Ratliff doesn't want to press charges. Feel free to come and meet me at my office if you change your mind." The lawyer gave up on trying to convince Tommy to press charges.

"Thank you but I don't think I'll change my mind," Tommy replied to the lawyer. Adam heard the lawyer excusing himself, he quickly move away from the door to avoid from getting caught eavesdropping on their conversation.

After the lawyer left Tommy's room, Adam stood in front of the door, wanting to come into the room to see his Glitterbaby but he's afraid Tommy will chase him out again. He really wanted to redeem all his misdeeds to Tommy and he's willing to do anything to gain Tommy's trust back.

He finally decided to enter the room. He's ready to receive anything from Tommy, whether it's punches, kicks or even if Tommy wants to kill him.

As soon as Adam entered the room, the air became palpable and everyone froze and just kind of stood there awkwardly. Tommy looked down at his hands and fiddled with his fingers as if it was the most important thing there. The singer had to make this right. He couldn't stand to just have all this shit just sit here and not be taken care of. After all, it was his band, and if him and his bassist didn't get along, it would ruin the show.

"G-Guys…Can I talk to…Tommy alone?" Adam muttered silently, trying to act strong, but in all actuality, he was falling apart inside.

Monte glared and licked his lips. "Well last time that happened Adam, Tommy came out of his room crying and cut himself. Whatya gonna do? Bash his head into the wall until he screams your name?" Adam flinched a little, looking down at the ground. He deserved this, he deserved this…He kept telling himself.

Isaac and Cam thought it would be best if Adam and Tommy chatted, so they practically dragged Monte out after he was protesting like fuck. Once they were alone, Tommy shook a little and didn't look up at Adam. He was still so terrified of the singer, that he didn't even know what to think anymore. Did he love him? He did…

'Be strong, Adam…' he thought to himself. The singer walked up to Tommy's bed and sat on the edge. The bassist scooted away and Adam sighed, licking his lips. He couldn't take this anymore! He needed to take control! So in a flash he was straddling Tommy's small waist and holding the blonds' face in his hands, looking at him deeply. "T-Tommy, I'm so sorry for what I did to you. I know anything I say or do can't fix any of the shit I did or committed, and I don't even know why I did it. Honestly, I think it was ever since Drake dumped me, I just kind of kept it all inside, and then you told me you loved me and I just kind of erupted. I know it's a shitty excuse and it doesn't make up for anything I've done, but I…" Adam gulped and looked down before looking back up at Tommy. "I love you too. I know I didn't realize it until only recently. Maybe it was because I almost lost you, I don't know but…" Then Adam leaned in and kissed Tommy on the lips ever so gently. It was a small peck, only indicating love and care. He quickly pulled back and looked at those chocolate brown eyes again. "I'm a fucking asshole, I know…"

Tommy was really happy to hear that Adam actually had feelings for him. He also liked it when Adam kissed him with a kiss filled with love and care, not a lustful kiss like he gave him lately. He was touched by Adam's regretful words and actions so he decided to forgive Adam(The power of Love). But he didn't want to let things go according to what Adam wants, so he decided to give the singer punishments before telling him that he had forgive him.

"Fuck yeah! You're a fucking asshole! Now, get off me bastard! You're heavy!" Tommy whined harshly, pushing Adam off of him. Tommy's push actually didn't affect Adam's body but because it was so sudden, the singer lost his balance and fell off of the bed.

"Ouch!" Adam winced. "I'm sorry" Adam said, getting up from the floor. He looked down at the floor, he knew this would happened. Tommy was really surprised to see Adam falling from his bed, he didn't mean to make the singer fell. He almost helped Adam to get back on his feet but he didn't do it.

'He deserves this' Tommy thought. "Get out. Don't come here again. I don't want to see you ever again unless it's for work" Tommy said.

Adam looked up "But Tom-" The blond raised his right hand, stopping Adam from uttering another word.

"Adam, please"

The singer sighed "Alright. I'm so sorry Tommy. I love you" He leaned in to Tommy, kissing his forehead before heading to the door. Before going out of the room, Adam looked back at Tommy, smiling weakly and said "I love you Tommy, I really do…" Tears began to stream down the singer's cheeks and then he left.

A week passed and Tommy was emitted from the hospital. He just had to stay on painkiller for about a month and not have sex for two more weeks. Which wouldn't be a problem for him because, personally, the idea of having sex with someone right now sounded terrible? Even with a chick, he wouldn't be able to have intercourse for awhile. He sighed and walked out of the hospital with everyone but Adam. He frowned lightly at this, but then remembered that he was going to make Adam suffer for what he had done to him. Sure, he had somewhat forgiven that filthy bastard, but he still wanted to make him feel like complete shit!

"So, how do you feel?" Monte asked, nudging Tommy slightly who just shrugged. To be honest, the blond was appreciative of the guitarist getting, Adam, but he still hated it. The poor singer's face was a complete mess.

But honestly, he felt fine and thought the painkillers were unnecessary, but whatever. He would take them because they had told him too, and he didn't want to be in any pain during the show. Speaking of shows, shit, what are they gonna do during Fever? Well what was Adam going to do during Fever? They'll deal with that when the time comes.

When they arrived at the hotel, Tommy walked into his room and surprisingly, Adam wasn't in there. The other bed was empty and made up. Plus, his luggage was gone. And much to the blonds' dismay, so was his scent. Adam smelt nice…

"Where's Adam?" Tommy asked Cam when she walked in.

"He's in a different room. Actually, we're on the very last floor and he's at the very first…" she mused, running her hand through Tommy's hair with a smile and leaving. A bit of pain swelled in Tommy's heart. Adam was really taking his 'I don't want to see you' thing seriously...

Mean while, Adam was lying on his bed with his hands behind his head, looking up at the ceiling and not doing anything. To be honest, he hadn't been eating at all the past week either. He didn't know if he was anorexic or what, but he just wasn't eating. He missed Tommy. He wanted Tommy…

Isaac excused himself to go downstairs, meeting up with his old friends while Cam went to the bathroom, leaving Tommy and Monte alone.

"Why do you still care about him? He's the one who raped and hit you, Tommy! I don't get it why you don't want to press any charges against him," Monte whined, still not satisfied with Tommy's decision. Tommy glared at Monte but he didn't reply to him. Monte shrugged and said "What? Pressing charges against Adam is the best thing to do for your sake, Tommy," Monte continued with his whining.

Hearing no replies from Tommy, Monte walked away and headed to the room he shared with Isaac, wanting to go to sleep, hehadn't had enough sleep lately but he suddenly turned around, facing Tommy, gasping and said "Don't tell me you're in love with him?"

Tommy shuddered and yelled nervously "Hell no! It's just that he's our good friend. I don't want to throw my own friend in the fucking jail!"

Monte replied to Tommy, also yelling "Yeah, he was our GOOD friend. I don't remember being taught that GOOD friend raped and hit his own friend! That's what BAD friend does!"

Cam who was in the bathroom came out and said in a quite high voice "What the fuck are you guys doing? Stop fighting already. We already have more than enough problems! Monte, please stop bugging Tommy for not pressing charges and Tommy, instead of fighting you should go rest, we have show in 3 days time."

Both Tommy and Monte together said "Sorry". They then walked to their own rooms. Before they entered their rooms, they heard Cam calling out to them, telling them to go to the cafe downstairs for dinner at 8. It's only 5 so they have 3 hours to rest. Tommy lay sideway on his bed, facing Adam's bed. He missed Adam so much, he wanted to meet him so badly but his conscience keep telling him not to. He drifted off to sleep with tears.

"Tommy!" shouted Adam, waking up from his sleep. He's sitting on his bed with his hands reaching out in the air, he's sweating a lot. The singer just had a very bad dream. He dreamt about Tommy leaving the band because he couldn't stand working with a fucking asshole like Adam. Adam quickly got up from his bed, grabbing his swipe card before running out of his hotel room. He's barefoot but he could care less about that, all he cared about at the moment was meeting Tommy as soon as possible. He doesn't want Tommy to leave the band.

He ran to the elevator but the fucking elevator was out of order at the moment. But Adam didn't give up, he went to the stairway, he climbed the stairs as fast as he could all the way to the last floor. Once he reached the 55th floor(the last floor), he was panting heavily. His legs was shaking but he ignored all the pain and exhaustion he's suffering at that time. He kept walking until he reached the suite where he used to stay with his band. He banged on the door, calling Tommy's name repeatedly. Monte opened the door with a very annoyed look.

"What the fuck, Adam? Can't you knock on the door nicely?" Monte hissed angrily.

The singer ignored the guitarist. "Where's Tommy?" Adam stormed into the suite, heading to the room he used to share with Tommy. But before he could reached the door knob he was pulled by Monte. "What the fuck? Let me go. I need to go meet Tommy!" Adam struggled with Monte's grip on his arm.

"No! Don't you remember that Tommy don't want to see you unless it's for work? Ad-" Monte stopped talking when Tommy suddenly opened the door.

"What's going o- A-Adam, what are you doing here?" Tommy was really surprised to see Adam in their suite.

"I want to meet you, Tommy. I n-need to talk to you about something really important…" Adam suddenly got really nervous. His heart skipped a beat when he first saw Tommy at the door.

"What?" Tommy answered.

"I just had a dream about you leaving me-" He gulped "I mean the band because of what I did to you. Please don't quit the band. I'm begging you. I don't think I'll find another bassist like you. Please Tommy, don't leave me," Adam begged.

"I won't leave the band because of what happened. Okay, now off you go," Tommy said coldly, closing the door before Adam could replied to him. Adam was hurt with what Tommy just did but he just shrugged it off. He's just happy that Tommy wouldn't leave the band even though what he did to him was what a total douche bag does.
