~Chapter 5~
Why?
Adam lay there on the bed with a man on top of him, giggling like a little girl and smiling the man was having sex with Adam… they were having sex had Adam really forgotten about him? This didn't make since. What was going on? Why? How? He couldn't do anything, and they had been too wrapped up in each other to notice another soul was standing in their presence.
"A-Adam?" He croaked he felt the tears fall down his face quickly… he had been so excited, how could that change so fast? How could Adam do this to him…he cheated on him while he was away fighting for their country, while he was being held hostage and beaten every night only tolerating it so he would be able to see Adam again, Adam was fucking some blond whore who oddly resembled Tommy with a tanner skin.
"JOE?" Adam's eyes got wide. "It's not what it looks like…I thought you were dead…" Adam said pushing Sauli off of him, who quickly gathered his clothes and out them on.
"Now I am… you killed me… you just ripped my heart out and stomped all over it!" Joe said his voice was dripping with hurt and anger. "I can't even look at you!"
"JOE! WAIT!"
"HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME? YOU MADE ME PROMISE THAT I WOULD COME HOME I DID! HOW COULD YOU CHEAT ON ME WHILE I WAS GONE! I WAS PUT THROUGH HELL AND THE ONLY THING THAT GOT ME THROUGH WAS KNOWING I WOULD SEE YOU AGAIN ONE DAY AND NOW LOOK! APEARENTLY I DON'T EVEN HAVE YOU ON MY SIDE! HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME! I LOVED YOU…I LOVED YOU SO FUCKING MUCH!" Joe took off his wedding band he still had all this time, and threw it at the picture of he and Adam that sat on the mantel nailing it and causing the glass to crack.
"Joe I thought you were dead… that's what they told me when-"
"FORGET IT! I DON'T CARE WHAT THE HELL YOU THOUGHT! YOU SHOULD HAVE KNOWN I WOULD NEVER LEAVE YOU! DON'T EVER TRY TO CALL OR CONTACT ME AGAIN!"
"Joe please you have to believe me!"
"NO!" Joe said stomping out the door, he grabbed his duffel bag and ran out the door. He ran and ran he didn't know how long he ran but he kept running, he found himself at a dark alley way, it was as good of a place as any, he sat down, and pulled out his phone and one of Adam's shirts from his duffel bag, he let himself go, right there, he cried he sobbed and sobbed on and on, he just couldn't believe Adam would do this to him he loved him so much and had been so excited to see him again… even if he thought Joe was dead how could he move on so fast? Did Joe even mean anything to him at all?
He took out his phone and looked through his contacts; he needed someone who could help him make sense of this all. Despite the fact that it was almost 11:30 he called up Adam's other partner in crime and best friend, Tommy Joe Ratliff.
"Hello?" A groggy sounding Tommy said into the phone.
"I'm sorry I woke you up but it's Joe…" He sniffed.
"JOE! I thought you were dead!"
"Everyone does apparently but that's not important listen I need a place to stay for now… and a few of my questions answered…"
"Oh my god where are you I can come and pick you up! I'm in the alley across from the McDonalds on Sunset." He said
"In an alley? Whatever listen I'll be there in ten minutes." Tommy hung up before Joe could say anything else.
Tommy got out of his car and rushed over to the masculine figure leaning against the wall he ran over to it, it was in fact Joe.
"Tommy is that you?" Joe asked "I can't believe it! You've actually gotten taller! By an inch or two…"
"Joe, I can't believe it! I thought you were dead… I thought you died a long time ago… oh my god I'm so glad you're alive you're not missing anything are you? Limbs, legs, fingers, toes, dick?" Tommy asked.
Joe laughed and shook his head "Almost everything in me is put together…except my heart…" Joe whispered the last part.
"Oh no… we have to talk don't we? Come on let's get to my place than you can lay it all on me." Joe nodded and followed Tommy to his truck.
