" You deserve this, you little bitch ! ," Skip Sands screamed at him as he pointed his gun at his head.
Winston began to beg for his life but as he looked at the man's eyes with his murky blend of vicious insanity he realized it was useless. He was going to die. He didn't want to die!
" Joe ! ,"he screamed in his sleep.
Winston jerked up in a cold sweat in his hospital bed , his mouth open and wanting to scream but nothing came out. His heart thudded wildly in his chest. He looked around for Joe and didn't see him. Then he realized that his lover - fiance - had left earlier for the club to tend to business.
His hands shook as he reached for his phone. One of his only remaining ways to communicate. He had two texts.
One was Spencer asking how he was doing. He quickly texted back what he couldn't tell Joe: I wish I was dead.
The other was from oddly enough Nigel Norland. Nigel's message merely said ," Thanks for offering help but I don't know what you can do".
He hesitated before replying back with " I can listen. Not talk obviously but I can listen. If you need to talk I'm here. He'll get his memory back though ". Then he hit send.
He sighed. Richard Norland was still luckier than himself. His memory would come back. As for him the doctor said if the speech therapy didn't work he would never speak again.
He heard a notification and checked to see who it was.
Nigel.
He texted back ," Thanks, matey. Might take you up on that ".
He closed his eyes and fell back asleep. Only this time Skip Sands was in his dreams threatening Joe and Spencer.
