Runnin'

Chapter four

SAULI'S POV:

I shuffle down the hallway trying to keep myself from turning back. from going back into that room and begging for Adam to come home with me. he looked so determined to stay and this was the first time I've seen him shed tears for someone the way he did for tommy. not even me. I grit my teeth and my fists tighten in small fists of anger. that was my boyfriend! mine and he's over there taking care of another man! his ex to add with that! tommy is such an attention seeker. "Fainting" my ass. Even if it is true it doesn't change the fact that this blond headed asshole was steeling my boyfriend. I got into the cab that I called and told the driver the address. I looked out the window and then at my phone as it vibrated. I checked the text. Adam.

Adam- hey I'm sorry it's just he's hurt and I feel responsible in some way... I'll try to get a cab home as soon as I can. the doctor told me that it's best if I went home anyways.

Me- okay.

Adam- sauli, I'm real sorry but he's apart of my life too..

Me- I understand just make it home safely.

And just like that I shove my android back into my pocket. the driver stopped and I payed him on my way out thanking him silently. he nodded and I exited the cab, closing the door a little too roughly. I made my way into the building and onto the elevator making my way to our apartment. my phone vibrated again but I ignored it knowing it might be Adam either telling me that he's on his way or that he's sorry.

I swing the door open and pop off my shoes in one motion. I closed the door and made my way to the bedroom, flopping onto the bed. today was full of bull shit that I'm actually tired. the phone vibrated again and I finally checked it. and of course it's Adam saying he's on his way. I replanted my face into the white silk pillow case. I sighed and relaxed feeling exhaustion take me over as my eyes began to feel heavy.

My eyes open and I sit up gently on the bed, rubbing my eyes. "morning hun." Adam smiles at me. "got you some Starbucks." He sits at the end of our bed and places the beverage down on the night stand next to me. I looked at him through sleep depraved eyes. He took off his jacket and swung it on the bed railing. "thanks." I say simply and grab the cup, still not in the forgiving mood.

"Sauli, look I'm sorry okay?" Adam looked at me with those baby eyes. how could I stay mad at that? hell how could anyone? I smile genuinely and reach over and hug him with one arm. "It's okay, I understand." I reassure him with the half truth. the real thing is that I honestly don't like this guy named Tommy Joe. He's just a sorry old ex that won't leave and get over the fact that Adam had moved on. that he doesn't love him any more. they had fun but they were done. used up seconds, that's what he is. I chuckled. what a pathetic little kitty TJ is.

LISA'S POV:

"Hey Adam." My voice was trembled together. "I'm here at the hospital, you said you would meet me here?" I heard a car door lock. "yeah I'm in the hospital parking lot as we speak. "got a new car?" I asked. "nah an old one." I scoffed "wait you actually have a car? then why take a cab?" "one, I never said I didn't and two, save gas." he snapped slightly though I knew he didn't mean it. it was 6 am after all. pretty early for a guy to be up don't ya think? But I wanted to come see tommy as soon as visiting hours opened. and Adam agreed with the idea, at the time. "sorry it's just-" "yeah" I smiled knowing what he was gonna say "it's pretty early but I was worried about t-bear."

"Why?" I heard him say. "I mean not to be mean or anything but you only knew him for a few days." I stayed silent, an image of my sick and broken mother in a hospital bed invaded my mind and I froze as the words stuck in my throat. I swallowed down my fear and full on came out and told him what happened to my mother and how tommy and the way he looks reminds me of my mother except his condition being better than my moms. "whoa im sorry Lisa if I had known i-" "it's fine boss man just get your tall ass up here to tommy joes room." I told him looking across the room at a sleeping tommy, his angelic blond hair falling over his face. "sure thing." Adams voice was deep and serious as he hung up the phone. "here that tommy joe? your man is coming up."
