I crossed my arms. "I guess you guys know what went on...."
"What the hell?! Why did you do that?!" Feldman waved his arms around.
"What?! What do you mean, Feldman!"
"I brought him here to apologize! He knew he was acting like an asshole! If you would've just fucking listened...."
"You're retarded, bro. Haim is your soulmate. And you pushed him away."
I sat on the bed, taking in the fight and what I said. "I didn't even give him a chance to explain. I just.... He's hurt me, Harm. Twice. I didn't want to be hurt a third time."
"So you're just gonna push the guy away?"
I crossed my arms. "Yes. That's the only way I won't get hurt."
"But you love him, right?"
"Well, I guess you can't hate the things someone does without loving them...."
"So...."
I rolled my eyes. "I love him."
She made a face. "I know, man."
I laughed and playfully pushed her. "Shut up!"
She laughed. "Wait you said you love who?"
"Corey."
"Who? Who do you love?" Corey F was getting in on this.
"Corey Haim! I love Corey Haim, okay?!" I smiled. Maybe that's why I was so worried about him, so worried about losing him. But instead of telling him how I feel, I got angry and accused him of hurting me. Instead of keeping him, my accusations pushed him farther away from me. "I'm just... scared. I worry about him, and I don't know why. I know he's bad news, that I shouldn't fall for him, but I can't help it! There's something about him.... And that makes me angry. I shouldn't fall for him, but every time... I do. Which makes me angry and try to resist, which makes me fall even harder. I was angry at him for smoking, because I love him. I was worrying about his health, 'cause I don't... can't... live without him any more. Harm, I love him. I love Corey Haim."
"You mean it?" Another voice. I didn't even need to look at the doorway to know who it was.
"If you do."
"What makes you think I never did?"
"Come on!" Feldman rushed over to Corey and pushed him towards me. Corey didn't struggle. He stood above me, perfect. Perfectly flawed.
"I know I can be stubborn. But as far as my health goes, I'm tryin'. When I said I didn't want to lose you, I meant it."
I smirked. "Prove it."
His face lit up. "You mean... with a round two?"
"Maybe." I kissed him.
"Eww!" Feldman crinkled his nose.
"Gross, guys."
"C'mon, let's get outta here, Harm." Feldman took Harmony's hand and shut the door.
