Everlasting Love(Pt24)
Joe could barely keep his eyes open as the group of men landed in the back lawn of his home. The past four days of hardly any sleep, all the ‘Rubies’ he had taken, along with the alcohol, kept Joe on a high. Now that he was coming down from that, he felt exhausted.
Nick held onto his arm as they went inside, to keep Joe from stumbling and just lying on the floor anywhere to sleep.
“I feel terrible, exhausted.” Joe was saying. “I’m going to crawl in bed with Rick and sleep for days, so don’t bother me, unless it’s important.”
Pulling his arm from Nick’s grasp, Joe headed up the back staircase just off of the kitchen.
“Get some rest.” Nick called after him.
“Nick, if you don’t need us anymore, Scott and I are going to head out.”
“No, we’ll be fine. Thanks.” Nick turned to both of them. “Thanks for helping out with those three.”
Tiny smiled at him. “Any time Nicky, if you need us, you know where to go, most of the time anyway.”
Nicky chuckled and locked the door behind them. He went for a bottle of blood wine, pouring some into a glass, he stood there sipping it, thinking of Joe and what happened between them tonight. Nick vowed to himself that he would never bring up the subject with Joe. Some things are better left alone and this was one of those.
Nick felt sudden fear from Joe, then his startled yell. Setting his glass down, Nick flew up the back stairs, almost colliding with Phil in the hall.
Both men ran into Sav’s room, knocking Joe to the floor as he was coming out. Nick pulled him to his feet and was about to ask what was wrong, but Joe’s frantic yell cut him off.
”Where is he!?”
Nick glanced toward the bed, then around the room, looking for Sav.
“They took him.” Phil answered.
“Who took him?” Nick spun to Phil.
“Rachel and Ethan. They didn’t know when you would be back and wouldn’t wait for either of you.”
“And you let them.” Nick narrowed his eyes at Phil.
“We tried to stop them Nick, but Rachel didn’t want to waste any more time getting the help Sav needs. They may have found a different cure, other than the one she mentioned.”
”Where did they take him?” Joe asked.
“To the Underground.” Phil answered.
Joe grabbed Nick’s shoulder. “You know where this place is Nick. Do we have enough time to get there before the sun rises?”
“It depends on which one they went too.”
”What do you mean, which one? I thought there was only one.”
“There are several. All of which are far away.”
Joe stared at him dumbfounded.
“Ethan said he would be coming back for you Joe, in a few days. He and Rachel want to get Sav settled first.”
“A few days!” Joe ranted. “Anything could happen in a few days. Why didn’t you go with them Phil?”
“I wanted too, but they wou…why the hell are you yelling at me? I was here with Sav and where were you Joe?”
“I was…was, um…” Joe glanced at Nick.
“That doesn’t matter now Philip.” Nick said, pushed Joe further into the room, getting him to sit on the bed. “Joe you need to relax. Sav is in good hands with Rachel and Ethan.”
”You’re just saying that, they should have waited for me. What if…if they don’t come back for us?”
“It’ll be all right, you’ll see. Now lye down and get some sleep.”
Joe reluctantly lay down, but stared at the ceiling a few minutes before he turned on his side, grabbing the pillow that Sav had laid on. Curling up, he pulled it tight to his chest.
Nick joined Phil by the door. “Let him rest, the last few days for him weren’t very good.”
“What happened?”
“I’m not going to discuss it with you.”
Phil then noticed the red stains on Nick’s clothes. “Where did the blood stains come from?”
“I…we, Scott and Tiny took care of some troublemakers.” Nick left it at that, leaving Phil standing there with more questions that he knew he wouldn’t get answers too.
Phil turned back to Joe when he groaned and got out of bed.
“I have to take a shower.” He mumbled and disappeared into the bathroom. Joe poked his head out a few seconds later. “Will you stay in here and wait for me?”
“Sure, I’ll just go and get us something to drink.”
“Oh, o..ok.”
Phil came back into the room a short time later, having stopped in their room to talk to Gail. He told her that he would be with Joe for a while, at least until he fell asleep.
Phil was pouring their drinks when Joe emerged from the bathroom, towel wrapped around his waist and drying his hair with another. Phil held out the glass for him.
“Thanks.” Joe whispered and finished it in one gulp. “I feel a little better now.”
“It didn’t do anything for the circles under your eyes.” Phil commented as Joe tossed the towel in the chair and slipped under the blankets.
Taking a deep breath, Joe filled his senses with the man that had occupied this very bed just three days ago. His heart ached because Sav wasn’t there, in the house or his mind. Pulling his pillow back to his chest, Joe let his mind wonder to try and feel him, but with the distance between them and Sav’s weakness, it was difficult.
Phil settled in the chair and watched him a moment. “What’s going on between you and Nick?”
“What do you mean?”
“You’ve been spending a lot of time together, he’s hovering over you like a mother hen. Every time something happens with you and Sav isn’t here, he does this.”
”He’s just taking care of me Phil, to make sure I don’t fall into that depression like I did before.”
“It’s more than that, he wants something from you, has for a long time.”
Joe met Phil’s gaze, he knew what Phil was getting at and tried to hide truth, but he was just too tired to even try.
Phil saw and felt it through their bond and it threw him for a whirl. “How could you do something like that Joe and with Nick of all people? I would expect it from Sav, but you….no.”
“It wasn’t just Nick.” Joe said softly, and then dropped his stare to look elsewhere.
Phil’s mouth fell open. “What possessed you to do that...how many?”
“That’s really personal question.”
”I’m just trying to understand what happened the days you were gone, what I was feeling from you in that time.”
“I was screwed up over Sav, nothing new there.” Joe chuckled. “Meet some people…Loran, Paul and Jason at the pub. They gave me this drug that I had seen them passing around…’Rubies’, I didn’t care what it did to me….”
”I’ve heard about them, very popular with the Community in L.A. and I know what it does. Gail and I tried it a few times.”
“I don’t think you need help in that department.” Joe smiled.
“Well, no, not really. So you spent four days with this group?”
”Yes, in and out of the pub and all of us in the bed.” His last words were a soft whisper.
“You slept with three men, including Nick?”
Joe nodded his head, then closed his eyes. “I don’t want to talk about that anymore. What’s done is done. I’m tired and want to sleep.”
“Alright, I’ll leave so you can sleep.” Phil stood up and made it to the door when Joe stopped him.
”Phil,…um…could…could you stay with me…I mean…uh, lay with me? I don’t want to be alone and I…I’ll understand if you don’t want to and…and feel uncomfortable about it.”
Phil made his way back to the bed, taking note of the pleading and loneliness in Joe’s eyes. He gave in and pulled the blankets back.
“You’re going to sleep in your clothes?”
Phil stopped half way in the bed. “You want me to take of my clothes?”
“Y…you can leave on your underwear.”
”That’s asking just a bit much Joe.” Phil said and stood back up. Removing his shirt and pants, he crawled in the bed. He stiffened a bit when Joe pressed the length of his body to him, snaking his arm around his chest.
“This is all I want, nothing more. Besides, your not my type.”
“You don’t have a type.” Phil chuckled.
“Sure I do. He’s 5’ 11”, blue eyes, soft curly hair and a gorgeous body. A tongue that will drive you ins…”
“Ok..ok, I know who your talking about.” Phil turned slightly in his arms. “His name wouldn’t by chance be Rick Savage would it?”
”That’s the one.”
“With the very soft and kissable lips.”
“Oh yeah.” Joe wiggling and buried his face low on Phil’s neck.
“Comfortable?”
“um hum.” Joe mumbled. “Thank you Phil.”
“Go to sleep Joe.”
Phil lay there wide-awake, he was apprehensive about laying this close to Joe, the way he was partially laying on top of him, legs tangling around his. Joe's cool slow breath against his neck. This wasn’t so bad, much like when he and Gail lay like this.
“Are you asleep yet?” Phil broke the silence.
“Almost.” Joe mumbled.
“You know, I could take care of you, just the same as Nick. Well just about in every area, but that one.”
“Your hired, now go to sleep.”
With a soft sigh, Phil closed his eyes.
