Hide Your Heart

Confrontation

It was barely 8 in the morning when Tommy woke up to find a very pissed off Jaime in his hospital room. "J-J-Jaime, w-w-what are you doing here? I thought you were planning your wedding." 

"Planning, sweetheart, I'm married already. No one told you?"

"N-n-no!" "I've been here for two weeks or so." Tommy rubbed sleep out of his eyes as he was grabbed by his ex. "What did you tell Patrick about Ireland?!" 

"N-n-nothing! He told me, 'cause I didn't remember anything!" 

Jaime took hold of Tommy's arm and squeezed tightly. "I DID NOT FORCE YOU! DO YOU UNDERSTAND! IT WAS MUTUAL!"

"J-j-j-Jaime, let go! You're hurting me!" cried Tommy, trying to shake loose. He was freaking out by now. "Let go! I'll tell Pat that he was mistaken."

"JAIME! BACK UP AND GET OUT OF HERE!" came Patrick's voice from the doorway. "I know what you did because your drunk ass told us....ALL!" "Now go."

After Jaime left, Tommy dissolved into tears. He felt Pat's arms go around him and laid on his shoulder. "Hey, it's okay. Sh." "He can't deny it." "Sh."

Tommy finally calmed down enough to look up at Pat. "Is it true that I agreed?" I would never cheat on Paul. I love him."

"I don't think you did, but you were wasted. You did that to me a few times and I gently turned you down." "If you had been sober I know 100% you wouldn't have." "You're also more inclined to go looking for love when you have been drinking."

"I cheated on you when I was drunk? We were never together." asked Tommy, confused.

Pat laughed. "No, you came om to me several times when you were drunk." "If you hadn't been with blondie I might have. I consider you like a brother ,though , so that would have been weird."

Tommy now had a headache. "Pat, my head hurts."

Knowing how to get rid of Tommy's headache, Pat sat on the bed and had Tommy lay his head in his lap. He began to rub his temples gently. "Close your eyes. You'll feel better soon."

When Paul walked in around nine, he found Tommy asleep on Pat's lap with Pat's arms around him. Clearing his throat, he made Pat look up. "He had a headache, Paul. It's been a rough morning for him." Pat slid out from underneath Tommy and stood up. "Come on, I'll tell you over breakfast."

Pat led Paul to the cafeteria and paid for them both. He told Paul everything as they ate and had coffee.
