The Drummer's Boy

Chapter 13. The Ugly Truth, But The Truth

George went to the only house he knew would ease the guilt he felt, Jon's house. He wiped his teary eyes & approached the door. His mind was reeling with the events that happened just minutes ago, that he was unsure whether he should knock or not, so he just walked in.

Swallowing the lingering guilt he still felt, he searched the rooms for Jon. George caught the scent of a strange aroma that he only smelt whenever Barbara was around. He stopped & wrinkled his nose in disgust. Why the hell would she still be here? He shrugged it off & continued to search for Jon.

He walked up the stairs, leading to Jon's bedroom. He froze at the doorway to Jon's room. George's jaw almost dropped to the ground & his eyes went wide. The sight was anything but pretty.

Barbara was sitting on Jon, laughing, & kissing him. At the mere sight of George standing at his doorway, he pushed the oblivious Barbara off. Her laughter died when she hit the floor.

She started to get up. "What the hell-" her face was flushed when she saw George. She bit her lip & stared down at the ground, ashamed of what she has done.

Jon walked over to George but he walked passed Jon & into the room. George was furious at how horrid the room looked. Champagne glasses were scattered around, alcoholic beverages laid out on the floor, & even clothes that didn't look like they belonged to Jon at all.

He stared up at Barbara, who was still looking down at the ground. Her hair gleamed in the light, showing that it was wet. What really pissed him off wasn't the fact that she just got out of the shower, Jon's shower, but the fact that she was wearing his clothes as well.

George bent down to pick up one of Barbara's tops & threw it at her. She didn't flinch as it hit her, but only looked up at George. His face showing all kinds of hatred. "What's wrong with wearing you're own clothes? Why the HELL are you wearing HIS clothes!?" George shouted.

Barbara picked up her top & clutched it tightly. She cowered at the tone of his voice. The feeling of guilt, embarrassment, & shame, hit her hard.

Jon felt like a prat just standing where he was so he moved over to George & hugged him. He smiled. Oh how much he missed this. "I'm really glad you're here. I missed you."

George rolled his eyes & pushed Jon away. He crossed his arms & turned away from Jon. "Oh, I bet you did. It sure looks like it, don't it?" George gestured to the room.

The reaction from George was what Jon predicted. He clenched his fists & shook his head angrily. "This wasn't how I imagined it would come down to."

George stared at Jon, bewildered. What on Earth was he talking about? George continued to snap back at Jon. "Surely you did imagine this. Although, the whole scene is quite sloppy & not at all planned out. Am I supposed to feel hurt?"

Jon relieved his anger & took a deep breath. It took a lot of strength to tell George the truth. The ugly truth, but the truth. His eyes became very teary as he explained himself to George. "I think we may have a problem. Or I, may have... a problem."

George was clueless to Jon's words. His face proved it. Jon couldn't help but laugh. How could George be that stupid? He really shouldn't have been so clueless, it was very obvious.

George was outraged at Jon for laughing at the current situation. "What the hell do you think is so funny about this? And yeah, we DO have a problem." George points to Barbara on the other side of the room. "She is the problem. She always has been."

Barbara snapped back into reality once she heard her name. She clenched her teeth & walked up to George. "We are friends George. FRIENDS. I would never want to hurt you. I didn't mean to. I'm... sorry."

George snickered. "Please for the sake of both of us, stop acting like you have nothing to be guilty for. Friends don't hook up with their friends BOYFRIEND."

Barbara looked up at Jon, pleading with her big eyes to help her out. Therefore, Jon stepped in & stood up for her. "She isn't guilty for anything George. I am. I didn't know when you would be back to see me again, so I took it to the next step."

George shook his head in confusion, not understanding Jon at all. "I'm sorry but I am SO not good with puzzles, so please just straight up tell me what you're trying to say."

Jon cleared his throat. His eyes were stinging, on the brink of bringing tears. He blinked it away & told George the ugly truth, but the truth. "I don't think we should be together anymore. I just don't feel anything for you. I used to it. But, I think I'm straight. I don't belong with you, George. I believe I belong with her." He nodded his head in Barbara's direction. Her eyes lit up, sparkling.

And just like that, George was hit with the hardest blow he could have ever imagined. His eyes were welling up with tears & the room became blurry. It all happened so fast. He couldn't see anything, feel anything, hear anything, or even smell anything. He collapsed on the floor & burst out crying.

Barbara stepped back & ran over to Jon. He took hold of her & held her in his arms. They stared down at the emotional George, each of them feeling some kind of guilt & sadness for him.

George covered his face with his hands & his knees were tucked up against him. He screamed, "It's not fair!", over & over again.

The sounds of George's screams seemed to never end. It rang in the ears of his once called true love, Jon. Jon would never forget this night. He would never forget the pain he caused George. All through the night he continued to hear George screaming.

Jon looked down, sad & disappointed in himself. He was so disappointed he couldn't make it last. He knew that George would never be the same again. It hurt Jon to see George in the condition he was in. Jon shook his head. He didn't know what could happen in the mere future. But he did know that he didn't have to hide his feelings from George anymore. After all, he did have to know.

It was the ugly truth, but the truth.
