"Bye Mom, bye Dad. I love you guys, and thank you again for everything. I'm going to miss you." Faith said as she hugged her parents goodbye. She was moving into her new apartment in Richford, New York getting ready to start her second quarter of vet school.
It had been several months since she talked to Sal, apart from infrequent little texts that basically established the other was alive and a message for his birthday. Sal had decided to stop drinking, that she knew. One thing she couldn't get over was that the media kept pushing that Jillian and Sal were a couple. They kept publishing photos of them together which directly contradicted what Joe had told her. She decided to take matters into her own hands. That's when she pulled her phone out of her pocket and called Sal. The call went straight to voicemail. After leaving her message, she hung up, fully not expecting any answer from him. He was with Jillian after all, wasn't he?
-----------------------------------------
Sal hated his life, he hated everything about it now that she was gone. Even worse were the days that they were filming one of his punishments. He had hated every single day that followed after Faith walked out of his apartment and what felt like out of his life. He was thankful that she kept in some contact with Joe, because Joe would at least tell him she was alive and ok. He knew what he had done shook her entire world and he spent every waking hour trying to fix it.Despite everything the boys did to control the media, they couldn't. Sal had never had a relationship with Jillian and never would. The media got those photos of them "together" from when they were in court. In reality, the media photoshopped it all together. The boys made sure she wouldn't ever be near Sal again. They had her on charges of harassment, trespassing, assault, and several other things. The trick was going to be not letting her defense attorney use her previous mental health issues as an excuse for her current behavior. The boys found out that they won the case and she was found guilty on all counts just the day before.
After getting all cleaned up from the miserable punishment that Sal had, he got into bed thinking about how much he missed Faith and how they could have been married by this point if he hadn't messed everything up. She could have been waiting in his bed for him to get home. As he shook the early feelings of his anxiety, which had become significantly worse, he looked down at his phone.
"Love of My Life💔💍- Voicemail"
He couldn't open his phone fast enough. He was so excited to hear her voice, but was also scared of what she would say. There was only one way to find out, and so he listened
"Hi Cham...Sal, It's me. Um, I guess I'm a little nervous, imagine that. Anyways, I just wanted to call to see how you were. I'm not pushing you into this, but I just moved back out to vet school and I didn't know if you wanted to catch up or get lunch sometime. I know I have a few things I want to clear up on my end. Ok, um, I guess that's it. Bye" and before she hung up, the phone picked up her whispering "It will always be you too Champ. I promise too."
Sal couldn't believe it, part of him was in shock that he'd even been given the chance. He looked back down at his phone and did something very risky.
-----------------------------------
Three and a half hours later, his heart was pounding out of his chest. No turning back now, it was a matter of minutes before the media caught up to him, despite the fact he left the car several blocks away to throw them off. He had to do it, he knocked on the door."Just a minute!" he heard from the other side of the door. Once it opened, he faced what his heart had been missing.
"Sal! What are you doing here? How did you know I lived her...oh my location. Forgot about that. Still, what are you doing here?" Faith asked him, trying to not read into the situation.
"I'll answer all your questions, but could I please come inside? The media is looking for me and I'm sure they'll be here soon."
"Sure. Sorry in advance for the mess, still trying to organize things."
