When Daniel came home I knew something was wrong. Especially when I went to kiss him and he walked off. He sat on the sofa and patted the cushion next to him. I sat down and stared into his eyes as he stared back. His eyes weren't his happy normal eyes but dull and sad.
Joey... I can't do this...
What... what can't you do?
Tears started pouring down my face... I knew what he meant but I was clawing at any hope I was wrong.
Us... I can't do us...
Why...
I am constantly being shoved out and forced to leave... we can't be public in a relationship and I can't show any love towards you when out... I can't do it joey... when in public it's like I'm just another stranger... it's like you don't love me...
Dan... I am only doing this to keep you safe, I didn't want to scare you so I didn't tell you but...the director escaped of prison and is trying to find out about anyone I date... he is constantly emailing me death threats and I don't want you to get hurt... my best friend died on the way to hospital to visit my boyfriend at the time who also died because of that man...
I know but I just feel like you don't love me anymore...
I do... I do love you... more than words can explain...
And I love you but Joey... if he finds out about us... he will hurt you and I don't want that because I.. love you...
My entire body was shaking and I was sweating like crazy but sat in silence trying to swallow the lump that was tying my throat.

He was just finishing his sentence when I shot up like a bullet. I stumbled like a drunk man to my kitchen counter and grabbed some water. I started to walk away from the tap but collapsed on the floor and broke the glass and water poured everywhere. I just lay there in tears, heart pounding and in pain from my stomach and arm...

and not just from the glass...

Daniels POV.
I'm just gonna lea...
Joey shot up and ran to his kitchen, grabbed a glass and filled it with water. I knew what was happening but I was to late... I was just about to grab his pills when he collapsed on the floor and his glass smashed and a spilt all over him as he lay in a ball shaking and crying. I picked him up bridal style and carried him to his bed. I cleaned his cuts on his face and legs and waited for his pill to help him. He slowly fell asleep.
