Chapter Twenty

Joey Lerman

        Silence buried the three of us alive. No one dared to speak. And there's a big fat chance for me to start the conversation.

        The silence was dreary thick that you can hardly cut it with a knife. It engulfed the room, us. It was suffocating, really.

        No one really dared to speak. So I asked the question. Again.

        "What did you said?" I asked flatly. I swear, I won't repeat the question again.

        I was starting to get impatient and Andee seemed to noticed it.

        "Joey... please listen to me." he said slowly.

        What am I? Five?

        "My ears are all yours." I said with venom clearly hissing out.

        "I— I'm sorry I lied. I'm sorry I kept it all hidden from you. I only did it to be close to you. Yeah, fück, I'm selfish. But I didnt regret a thing or two. In fact I felt blessed. I carried this fücking problem with me and I deserved it. It was my karma. And I am one hundred percent guilty. Because I— I love you... I love you Joey. When we were kids until now. And it's only building more and more as time pass by."

        I was speechless. That long? My throat felt dry. My tongue got twisted. And my brain couldn't comprehend any longer.

        He loves me?

        I cant think straight though.

        He loves me.

        I need some space. The information was too much for me to even handle.

        He loves me.

        I get it. I know he loves me. So, shut up brain!

        He loves me.

        And those were the words that seemed to stamp in my brain.

        And in my heart.

        I love you, too.

        "Get— get the fück out of my house."

        Before I do something... bad. But not regretful.

        "Joey please... don't do this."

        "Give me— give me some time to think. Please." I demanded firmly.

        The hesitation were clearly plastered on Andee's face. It was heart breaking.

        But yes, I need some space. And time to think. Alone.

        Andee left the apartment.

        "Ellis... please leave me alone for an hour or so?"
