Friendly Goodbye

Chapter 10: This Is My Fault

Sauli

I opened my eyes to Adam’s arm draped over my back and snoring sweetly. I smiled at the sight … it brought back such amazing memories. I heard an agitated grunt and lifted up a bit looking toward the door where Joe was standing staring looking pissed off.

Joe: What the fuck do you think you’re doing?

Me: Nothing … just sleeping.

Joe: What made you think you had the right to sleep on my boyfriend’s chest?

Me: I wasn’t doing anything … I’m sorry.

Joe: Leave … get the fuck out of here.

Me: Ok … ok I’ll go.

I carefully got up without disturbing Adam and gathered my stuff in the backpack. I slid my shirt back on and grabbed the bag before leaving, Joe staring at me viciously the whole time. I was trying to figure out exactly where I was going to stay. I found the closest hotel that was within my budget and started walking the 10 miles to the hotel wincing with every movement. I was about halfway there when I cut down an alley to shave off a bit of time I was about halfway down it when a car started traveling toward me. I didn’t think anything of it at first and moved off to the side. Then it suddenly sped up and slammed into me. I crumpled to the ground in complete agony as I blacked out. I woke up in a dimly lit hospital room and Adam was sitting in a nearby chair crying with his head in his hands. He noticed I was awake and walked over.

Adam: I’m so very sorry sunshine. So very sorry …

Me: What … happened?

Adam: Matt followed you … he’s who hit you. How are you feeling?

Me: It hurts … everything … hurts.

He walked over and kissed my forehead lovingly running his fingers thru my hair.

Adam: This is my fault.

Me: No … no it’s … not.

Adam: Yes it is … I should’ve kicked that spoiled bitch out months ago. He’s been bleeding my money for as long as I can remember. But he’s a warm body to sleep with and someone who can, you know satisfy my needs.

I giggled a bit which caused me to wince. He was leaning down so I moved a bit placing my lips on his neck. He smiled and I went to continue when he stopped me.

Adam: No sunshine … you just rest.

Me: I love … you.

Adam: And I love you … I’ve never stopped loving you baby, ever.

I reached up and wiped the tear that fell from his eye away before kissing his hand grasping it tightly in mine.

Me: When can I go home?

Adam: A few more days … you’ve been here 18 days already.

Me: Huh?

Adam: They had you on so many pain meds … you weren’t really with it. I’ll bring you back to the condo and take good care of you … if you want that is.

Me: I want … nothing … else Addy.

The pain was starting to get a little harder to deal with so Adam gently pulled the chair over and ran his fingers through my hair until I was out cold.
