Neal and Gregg finished cleaning up the remaining glass on the bathroom floor. After several minutes of uncomfortable silence Neal spoke “ I am sorry Greg. He didn’t want me in the bathroom with him he said he would be alright. I didn’t think he would do that. “It’s not your fault Neal on the way home from the hospital he told me her would rather be dead, that if had to to do it over, he would have resisted even if it meant his death. Through the door they could hear Steve and his mother talking softly. There voices were so low it took Greg a minute to realize they were not speaking English. “Think they are talking about us,” Neal asked obviously trying to lighten the mood. Gregg didn’t feel like laughting. To break the awkward silence Neal continued “You would think we would have been able to pick up some of the language from him. “ Still not getting a response Neal was grateful when Mary came to the door. “ Can Steve have a pain pill he wants to go back to sleep soon. “ Greg reached into the medicine cabinet which was now devoid of the mirror and grabbed the pill bottle. While he was filling a cup with water for Steve to swallow the pill with he said “We are going to have to stay with him now, all the time, we won’t know when he may try and hurt himself again. “ Mary looked at the two men, tears glinting in her eyes. It was the first time they had seen her show any lack of control. “I know Steve is in so much pain I can’t reach him. She quickly wiped the tears out of her eyes. as if she did not want anyone to see. She said to Greg “ Can you give him his medicine and sit with him. I am going to make his some eggs, he said he would try to eat them if I made them like I did when he was little. She smiled then but it was still had a melancholy air about it. She said “ Still my baby boy.”
“Sure Mary,” Do you need any help in the kitchen.” No I will get the eggs ready and then I can fix you two something to eat, she told him.. Thanks but I am not hungry, “ Greg spoke so softly it was difficult to hear. “ I thought you were starving” Neal started to tease him but stopped dead at the look on Greg’s face. “ I really don’t have any appetite Greg sighed then said “ I really need to get back into the room with him, I don’t want him to be alone. .” Not feeling like talking anymore he slipped quickly out of the bathroom and back into the master bedroom. Steve was staring out at the night sky while absent mindedly scratching Misty’s head. The cat was purring contentedly, obviously enjoying the attention. He took the pill and the water he was offered swallowing them quickly, then said “I am sorry Greg, I just couldn’t stand to look in the mirror, or to live in my own head. “So you thought dying was the answer, Greg sounded a bit harsh.He realized it and regretted it immediately. He continued, ‘ What do you think that would have done to your mother, your step dad….God Steve we all love you and you wanted to leave us. You mean so much to so many people, too much to just give up.” Steve spoke, tears plain in his voice. "He said he would be back, that I was his, he owned me." Greg tried to reassure him “Steve he is not crazy enough to show up here. Feeling completely defeated Steve said “ You weren’t there Greg, you weren’t in that room, you didn’t see how he looked at me, how he touched me. It was like I wasn’t even human, like I was just an object something to play with or to hurt any way he wanted. “It will never be over for me. He ripped away part of me, he took by force what I would wanted to give to you in love.
Greg squeezed his hand tightly “Oh Steve, it is alright, I love you, and being together will still be wonderful. Greg hated to bring up the subject at that minute but he said Listen Liz suggested you seeing a counselor. “No Steve said, I couldn’t tell anyone else what happened to me. “I would be too embarrassed.” “What is going to happen when catch the guy ? Greg asked “You will have to go to court, tell what happened to a jury. “ Steve looked at the love of his life, eyes blank, voice flat and emotionless. “He won’t get caught. We will never figure out who it is…. not until it is too late. “
At that moment Neil called to Greg from behind the closed bedroom door. After asking for permission he entered the room with a tray holding the dish of soft boiled eggs and bread for Steve and a sandwhich for Greg. I know you said you weren’t hungry but Mary was hoping you would change your mind.” He sat the tray on the table and quickly excused himself. He didn’t want to intrude on the two men’s privacy so he said he was going downstairs to eat with Mary and help her clean up the kitchen for the night. Greg helped Steve get settled to eat and let the young man finish his meal without further conversation. The pain pill was kicking in and Steve was getting terribly sleepy. By time he was done eating he could barely keep his eyes open. Greg took him into the bathroom, staying with him this time. He helped him to clean up before bed and put on fresh clothes for sleeping. He put Steve in bed and ran down stairs just long enough to take the dirty dishes to the kitchen and wish Neal and Mary good night. It didn’t matter much though because by time he got back, Steve was almost asleep. A few minutes later Greg slipped into the bed next to Steve, drawing his lover tightly into his arms. In few minutes Steve was in a deep slumber.
The next morning dawned grey and gloomy. Rain pounded the beach and the wind howled butally around the small house. It was odd weather for this time of year but Greg felt it matched his mood. After breakfast Greg helped Steve get washed up again, it seemed like the singer could never be clean enough. He helped Steve dress in some comfortable clothes and got him settled on couch. The day passed uneventfully with Mary sitting close to her son, watching over him while he slept or talking softly to him when he woke up. Steve didn’t talk back much to his Mom, he spent most of his waking hours, which were far and few in between, staring out the window. Around 4 PM Mary had went to her bedroom to rest before supper. Greg was puttering around in the kitchen making plans for the evening meal. Neal was quietly reading the paper in the chair next to where Steve was sound asleep under the influence of pain medication and Valium. Greg tried to spread the doses out, he felt like Steve was so tiny that the two drugs in his system might be dangerous. But Steve was teary- eyed, restless and hurting when he was awake, so it was just easier to let him have the medication. While Greg was chopping up vegetables for the soup he was making, the phone rang. Not wanting the Steve to wake up, Greg grabbed the phone out of the receiver on the second ring, “Hello “ “How is Steve ? “ the caller asked. Greg didn’t recognize the voice. “Who is this ?” The caller didn’t answer he said “ He has a really tight ass you know and I tried to be careful but my enthusiasm got the better of me. “Oh God,” Greg realized he was talking to Steve’s stalker. “How did you get this number ? There was a soft chuckle then he said “ Steve kept pleading “No, and would he cry and struggle. But all I had to do was touch him in the right spots and he would come all over the sheets and my mouth. Greg dropped the phone with a gasp as Neal walked into the room. “It’s him” Greg said frantically. Neal snatched up the receiver but was greeted by a squawking dial tone. He knows where we are we can’t hide from him. He is watching us. Neal put the phone back in the receiver, “Greg calm down, you don’t want to wake Steve. He is scared enough, he doesn’t need to be traumatized further. Now Greg the guy knew where you were before. He probably has always known where this house is, that is how he was able to follow you the day Steve was abducted. He found Steve in the city and out here. Like the Sheriff said, it is him, it is what he does. You two are not doing anything wrong. And as much as I hate to admit that prick Vallory is right, we know this guy. He is a snake in the grass but we know him, somehow he is connected enough to the band at least one of us, to be able to get personal information. We just have to figure out who the hell it is . Now we have security here, there is no chance of this guy getting near Steve. So your job is to focus on his recovery. "
Greg knew Neal was right.The guy had been watching them and especailly Steve for ages. Nothing had changed in that respect. And he knew Aaron had a listed number, all the man needed was a last name and a phone book. Most people were trusting asking a residents name would not be suspect. He related all this to Neal who agreed with his analysis. Greg then walked into the living room and kissed his sleeping lover on the forehead, stroking his hair back from his face. Despite Neal’s reassurance Greg checked the doors twice before pulling down the curtains on the first floor. The man might know where they were but he’d be damned if he was going to let the guy spy on them. This man was never going to touch Steve again he vowed silently before he went into the kitchen to finish cooking supper.
