I stood awkwardly for a second in front of them wearing nothing but a pair of nipple pasties and a g-string before pushing past them and shutting my dressing room door behind me. I sat on my couch to undo my ballet slippers when to door opened and closed with a soft click.
“Lex I…”
“Look, just don’t bother Pete, I don’t want to hear it. Bet your fuckin kicking yourself now huh?” I hissed.
“You have no clue Alex. I just want to say-”
“Pete, do you not understand that I don’t give a shit what you have to say to me. Where’s Patrick?” He didn’t have to answer me because I already knew.
“He’s gone Lex. Along with Andy. I’m sorry, I just want you to know that I am here for you” I stood and grabbed my robe from the door before sitting at my vanity and brushing out my hair. Tears coursed down my face but I didn’t make a sound. Pete stood behind me and placed a hand on my shoulder. I shook it off violently before standing quickly and shoving him backwards.
“Don’t you dare touch me Pete” I growled advancing on him “How dare you even come in here after what you did to me. You treated me like a doormat for two years and now that you know who I really am, oh you have ALL the time in the world to come in here and be a shoulder to cry on. I don’t need you, I need Andy and Patrick right now. So get the HELL out of my room now.” I shoved him one last time towards the door before he caught me by the wrists and dragged me back to him. I whimpered in pain while trying to twist out of his grip. He shoved me against the wall and pressed his body to mine.
“Tell me right now that you don’t want me” He breathed kissing my neck.
“Pete get AWAY from me” I shrieked bringing my knee up and connecting with his privates. He dropped on the floor writhing in pain just as the door slammed open.
Joe stood there as his eyes volleyed between Pete writing on the floor and me still pressed against the wall breathing heavily.
“Okay whatever just went on, I don’t care. Pete you need to leave, like now” Pete rolled onto his knees and took a few more deep breaths before standing and pushing past Joe out the door.
“Andy’s gone. And so is Patrick. I don’t know where.” Joes face was white and his hands shook. I had no words, I just sighed and resumed brushing my hair. I mean, what the hell could I do now? I’ll let them cool off for a while and come to me when they’re ready. I grabbed my remote off the dresser and hit play on iPod. How bloody fitting, Lady Gaga – Bad Romance. Joyful.
Joe backed out of the room and closed the door behind him. I got up and set about gathering my stuff and getting dressed. I did what I had to do and I’ve probably lost the two people in my life I ever cared for. I felt relieved if anything. No more having to hide. I packed my costume into my bag as I sang along with the music.
‘I want your loving
And I want your revenge
You and me could write a bad romance
I want your loving
All your love is revenge
You and me could write a bad romance’
“You should include singing in your show. Your good” My heart was in my throat as I jumped and knocked my bag off the chair.
“I didn’t think you’d come back” I breathed turning to face him.
“I just needed to get my head around this for a few minutes. Its a lot to take in.”
“I’m sorry I never told you Patrick.”
“Its okay, I know now so its all good” He stooped to pick my bag up off the floor.
“Where’s Andy-”
“Lex I don’t know. He was so pissed, it was scary. I’ve never seen him so angry. He stormed out of here and took off”
“I should go find him” I grabbed my bag and moved to the door. Patrick grabbed me by the wrist.
“Why the hell are you rushing off to find him? Why can’t you stay here and talk about this with me?” he growled, letting go of my wrist.
“I have to find him Pat.”
“Why?! Why the hell is he so important to you now? You’d swear he was your boyfriend. I came back to you because I won’t lose you because of this. HE stormed off and still hasn’t come back. We need to talk about this.”
“Patrick, Andy’s important to me. Hes my bro-”
“Ye’re not even related Lex. Why does he matter so much to you right now?”
“Its complicated”
“Complicated… Right. Well whatever, go find Andy. But I won’t be waiting for you when you get back.” He stormed out and slammed the door behind him.
“Patrick no, come back” I shouted running after him into the hall, I grabbed him by the arm and wrapped myself around him. “I’m sorry, I just feel like I have more to explain to him because I’ve known him the longest.”
“You should be explaining it to me Lex, I’m your boyfriend. I came back to you, he didn’t”
“I’m sorry Trick. Your right, he can stay sulking as long as he wants.” He didn’t say anything, he just kissed me on my head and lead me out to the car.
“I don’t think you should stay at your house anymore.”
“What? Why? Where am I going to go?”
“Andy’s gonna be pretty mad for a while and I think its best if your out of the way. You can stay with me.”
“Um… Okay, I need to go home and get clothes first.” He said no more until we pulled into the driveway and saw Andy’s car there.
“Stay here” He breathed as he got out and walked into the house.
Patricks POV
The light in the kitchen was on and I could hear muffled voices as I moved closer. I pressed my ear to the door to hear more clearly.
“Joe, you have no idea just how deep this has gotten.”
“But I thought it was just one of these things that like goes away after a while.”
“Its been years Joe, it only gets worse. I feel like I’m dying inside every time I see them together”
“But like its wrong And” A chair scraped back suddenly as someone stood.
“Don’t you think I know that Joe?! Shes supposed to be my somewhat sister and I can’t stop thinking of her.” Patricks breath caught in his throat. Andy is-
“I’m in love with her. Joe, it hurts to see her with Patrick. I feel like dying, and now I find out what she does for a living. It makes my blood boil to know that other people see her doing that and that they enjoy watching her.”
“Dude, I don’t know what to tell you but, shes with Patrick. You can’t do anything.”
“Shes only with him because she thinks it would be weird for us to be together.”
“Woah, woah, she knows how you feel?”
“Yeah, The day she kissed Trick was the day we almost kissed. I got close to her and we nearly kissed. She was all for it like. And then ye guys bust in the house and I shoved her away.”
“This is so much more fucked up than I though it was.”
“Y’think?! You’re the only one I can talk to Joe”
“But shes with Trick And, you can’t come between them.”
“I can and I will. She doesn’t love him, she loves me and I’ll do whatever I need to make her realise that. Until she says those three words to Patrick, Its fair game.”
My knuckles felt like they were gonna bust outta my skin, my fists were clenched so tight. At that moment the front door opened and Alex walked in. I moved towards her and kissed her hard. I turned her around until her back faced the kitchen door.
“Alex, I want to tell you something” she smiled up at me and nodded for me to continue. “I just want to tell you that, I love you Alex” I held my breath as I waited for her reaction. Her face was blank. It felt like an eternity but it was only a second before her face broke into the most breath taking smile I had ever seen. The kitchen door swung open and Andy stepped into the hall but froze when he saw myself and Alex standing there.
“Patrick, I’m so happy I could burst. I love you too.” She said before squeezing me around the middle and laying her head on my chest.
I smiled up at Andy as I watched his world crumble around him.
“Game over” I mouthed at him.
I never said I fought fair.
“Lex I…”
“Look, just don’t bother Pete, I don’t want to hear it. Bet your fuckin kicking yourself now huh?” I hissed.
“You have no clue Alex. I just want to say-”
“Pete, do you not understand that I don’t give a shit what you have to say to me. Where’s Patrick?” He didn’t have to answer me because I already knew.
