I open my eyes and find that I am backstage. Joe is sitting beside me and I can hear the crowd. I figure I can’t have been out too long. Joe smiles.
“I was bout to call an ambulance.”
“Joe I saw Pete!”
“What?”
“Pete! He’s in the crowd!”
“Honey I think you may have been dreaming…”
“No! That’s why I passed out!”
He nods “Ok…”
We walk onto the stage and Joe tells Andy and Mark. We look through the crowd but don’t see him.
“I… I guess it was my imagination…” I frown. It seemed so real
I assure them that I’m fine and we continue the show. Throughout the show, I’m looking to spot Pete again. I’m not totally convinced he isn’t here. But I fail to see him. We walk to the bus, with Joe gripping my hand tightly. I think he may think Pete’s around. It’s odd. I can feel Pete’s presence. I don’t know how else to put it. We stop at Pizza Hut. I nibble on a piece of pizza, but I’m not really in the mood to eat. I don’t like the feeling Pete gave me. I was so… pathetically afraid. It makes me feel weak and defenseless. I passed out just thinking I saw him. He could have had his way with me again. Or this time he could have just killed me. I lay down on Joe’s bunk, hugging his pillow. He follows me and sits beside me.
“You aren’t weak baby… in fact I think you’re really brave.”
“Brave?” I ask “How was that brave?”
“You’re brave enough to face the world. You’re brave enough to get up on stage and continue your life. You’re brave enough not to push me away, even though you were raped. Patrick… baby you’re smart but when it comes to talking about yourself you’ve got everything wrong.”
I smile and hug him “How could I push you away? I love you too much to do that.”
Joe smiles and hugs me “I’m glad. I'm amazed that you still trust me.”
"Why wouldn't I? YOu're amazing Joe..."
"Awe... really?"
"Yes... very much so."
I kiss his lips, folding my arms around his neck. He kisses back hungrily. Andy and Mark whistle.
We flip them off and continue.
