Rock of Ages, Forever Pt27
Once Sav was out of the room, Joe angrily spun around to Rebecca. “You had no right treating him that way.”
“Why not? He just shows up in our home after all this time and expects you to greet him with open arms.”
“He is my best friend, Rebecca. What would you have me do? Shove him back out the door...”
Jabbing her hand on her hip, Rebecca rolled her eyes to the ceiling, "No, I wouldn't expect you to do that," she took a calming breath and looked back at Joe. "I'm sorry. Your right, I shouldn't have treated him that way. It just caught me off guard...even the things I said."
Closing the distance between them, Joe took her in his arms, "It's ok...we can talk about it later." Kissing her temple, he stepped back and ran the back of his fingers over her cheek. "I need to go check on him...you...you didn't open the blinds in the kitchen did you?"
Rebecca furrowed her borrows at him, "No."
"Good. Just don't open any of them yet. I'll explain later when we talk." Joe smiled softly at her, then turned on his heel and headed for the kitchen where he thought him to be. Joe stopped just inside the door and called out to him, “Sav,” he didn’t answer or move, just stood there by the counter, looking down at something that Joe couldn’t see. “Sav.” when he still didn’t respond, Joe went over to him and touched his shoulder. Sav jumped and spun around, dropping the glass he had in his hand. Joe clearly saw fear in his eyes and took a step back.
Sav looked down at the glass that had shattered on the floor. “Sorry about...I was going to have a glass of water, but I forgot I can’t drink it anymore,” he swung his gaze back up to Joe. “Don’t sneak up behind me again, Nick…” his voice trailed off remembering the times that Nick had done the same thing. Only the results were far different than this one.
“I didn’t,” Joe started. “I called you several times and you didn’t answer.”
“I need to use the phone?” Sav blurted. Looking down at himself, he realized he was naked, grabbing the dish towel he covered himself up.
“Being modest after all this time.” Joe chuckled.
“I don’t find it funny.” Sav said flatly.
It suddenly dawned on him what he said. “I didn’t….” Joe said sheepishly.
“Forget it.” Sav cut him off and waved his hand in the air.
“I’ll go get you something to wear, before Rebecca comes in here and sees you.”
Sav quickly moved over to where the phone was, he searched his memory for the phone number. He picked up the receiver and dialed the number, mumble under his breath as he heard the ring on the other in. "Please be there, please be there..."
A very groggy voice came over the line, "Hello."
“Hi Tucker. Rick Savage.”
“Well, it’s been a long time. How have you been?” Tucker asked in a more awake tone.
Sav sighed heavily at hearing his voice. “Not good.”
“Oh," Tucker could hear the tiredness, weariness in his voice, just from the few words he said. "Are you having problems?”
“Not any more," Sav turned when he heard some one enter the kitchen and found Joe standing behind him, "I...need your help.”
“What can I do to help?”
Sav ducked his head down and turned back around, “I need a supply. I don’t know where to get any from where I am.”
Is there some thing wrong Rick?” Tucker asked, concern clearly in his voice.
“No, everything is fine now.”
Tucker swung his legs to the floor and sat up, “What do you mean now. Has something happened?”
“I don’t want to talk about it now, maybe another time. I called you because you are nearby and you can get it to me faster than anyone else. Can you get that for me or do I need to look else where?”
“No, just give me a place to send it and I’ll get it there.” Tucker told him.
“Ok, just don’t take to long. I haven’t feed well in the past couple of days and it’s getting hard to stay away from the warm stuff.”
   "I understand, give me two hours. What’s the address?”
"Thanks Tucker, we will get together soon." Sav hung up the phone and leaned his head against the wall. Hunger pains were slowly getting more noticeable, now that he was thinking about them.
“Should we leave?” Joe softly asked from a few feet away.
“No, don’t do that.” Sav quickly shot back and spun around to face him. “I mean it’s…”
“You don’t want to be left alone.” Joe answered for him.
“No.” was all he said.
“I’ll get those pants.” Joe left him in the kitchen and went up stairs.
Rebecca came in to fix breakfast for them. She glanced at him, then walked over to the refrigerator, pulling out the eggs, and bacon. “You should put on some clothes. The ones you had on were too dirty so I tossed them out.”
“Joe went to get some for me.” Sav shyly told her.
Rebecca gestured toward the table, “Have a seat. Are your hungry? You must be after your trip.”
“No thanks.” this reply also came as more of a mumble.
Putting the bacon on she went over to stand in front of him. She reached out to touch his face and he shrank away from her.
“You should really clean those again. They may get infected from all the dirt and blood that we couldn’t wash out.” She glanced down and Sav pulled the towel higher. “Your side is bleeding again and it needs stitches.”
Sav looked down at the gash, upon seeing his own blood reminded him how hungry he was. His fangs started aching and he heard her heart steadily beating. Closing his eyes to get control of himself, he waited before he answered her. “I’ll be fine.”
Joe came in and saw them. His eyes darting back and forth between them, “What’s going on?”
“Nothing. I tried to look at his cuts and he pulled away. And his side is bleeding again, it needs stitches.”
Joe came over and reached out, to only have Sav jerk away from him. “It’s ok Sav, I’m not going to hurt you.” he told him and once again went to touch him. Joe bent down and got a better look it. “You're right, it does need stitches.”
“It’ll heal on it’s own.” Sav informed them and slid down the counter away from them.
“I’m sure it will, but it needs help.” Joe said standing up.
“It’ll be fine Joe, just leave it." Jerking away from the counter, he reached out and snatched the clothes from Joe, "I need a shower.” He took the back staircase to the second floor bathroom and closed the door. Leaning back on it, he took a deep breath. “Hurry up with that delivery Tucker.” he said to himself.
   ****
Almost two hours later, Sav and Joe were sitting in the kitchen talking when the door bell rang. Joe visibly saw Sav stiffen in his chair and alarm play across his face when he looked around the room.
“I’ll get it.” Joe told him. Going to the door, he called out looking through the peephole. “Who is it?”
“Delivey.” the man yelled back.
Opening the door, Joe noticed several boxes.
“Deliver for Rick. That’s all it says.”
“I’ll take it.” Joe told him.
The man thrust a clipboard at him. “Sign here. Where do you want them?”
Joe took the clipboard. “Over there will be fine.”
He wheeled in the boxes and set them were he was told.
Handing the clipboard back, Joe smiled, “Thanks.” He picked up one of the boxes and took it into the kitchen. He sat it on table and took out one of the bottles. “I think this is what you were waiting for.” he passed it over to him. “Need a glass?”
Sav had already popped the cork and was quickly drinking.
“Guess not.” Joe said as he watched.
Sav finished it quickly and sat the bottle down heavily, “More.”
Joe reached into the box and pulled out another. Sav did the same with this bottle. He's brows shot up as Sav reached for another one, “More?”
“Yes. But I’ll drink this one slower, with a glass I might add.”
Joe got him a glass from the cabinet and sat down at the other end of the table with his coffee. Sav poured his into the glass and sipped it.
“Better?” Joe asked.
“Yes, much better, thanks.” he looked up at Joe to see him intently staring back at him.“What?”
“Your eyes, they're…” Joe started. Sav quickly looked away from him. “It’s just a little weird that’s all. I’m used to seeing your blue eyes.”
“They are still there, just not right now.” Sav replied, but kept his eyes cast down at his glass. “How is everyone?”
Joe blinked several times to clear his mind of those mesmerizing golden eyes and focus on what he had asked, “They're great, except for the fact that no one knew where you were. I think Phil is still in   color:navy">Spain writing for the next album.” ”You haven’t done one since the last one?” Sav asked surprised.
“No we kept putting it of hoping that…”
“I would be back.” he finished for him.
“Yeah. Uh...Rick is here, he’s been doing a lot of car racing to pass the time. Vivian is here also, having fun with his new baby.”
“They had a baby?”
“A girl. She's almost one and she’s a handful already. They named her Jordan.”
“That’s great, I happy for them.” Sav didn't stop the smile that spread across his face, only to disappear seconds later, knowing that he would never get the opportunity to have children now.
“You can tell him that later when I call him.” Joe said.
“You can’t tell them I’m here!” Sav exclaimed nervously.
“Why not? You know how fast they’ll be here. Before I even hang up the phone.” Joe noted the panicked look on his face again, could even see it in his body movements.
“No, I’m not ready for a bunch of people hovering over me.”
“These aren’t just any people, Sav.” Joe calmly told him.
”I know, but not yet. Maybe next week.” he shifted uncomfortably in his seat, then darted his eyes around the room. “What about you?”
Joe once again, had to clear his mind from one topic and shift to anther, “Oh I’m doing fine.”
“From what Rebecca said, you aren’t.”
Joe ran his fingers through his hair, ”Well, she tends to over do it some times.”
“Really. From what I found in your blood, that isn’t exactly true. You’ve lost weight or kept it off. Your blood pressure is high for the first time in your life. You’ve spent more money on trying to find me, than you have on anything, not even her ring.”
Joe stared at him in shock on how he could know all those things, “You got all that from my blood?”
“Yes and one more thing. You haven’t written a single note in two years.”
Joe was the first to look away this time, “Yeah well…”
“You almost put your life on hold. You didn’t even do this when Steve died.”
“He wasn’t coming back and you where.” Joe told him.
“How could you know that?” Sav titled his head sideways, waiting for his answer.
When Joe looked back at him, he locked his eyes with the blue ones of his best friend, “I don’t know. Gut feeling maybe.”
Sav didn’t know what to say.
“You look tired. Why don’t you get some rest, we can talk later. Do you need anything else?”
“You’ve done enough already Joe, thanks.” Sav said as he got up. He started toward the door, when Joe suddenly stood up and stopped him, pulling him into a crushing embrace. Sav only stood there, unable to returning warm gesture.
“It is good to have you back.” Joe mumbled close to his ear.
“Yeah me too. I’ll see you in while.” Pulling out of his arms, Sav tried to give him a reassuring smile, but failed.
It didn’t bother Joe that Sav didn’t return his embrace. He was different even more now. Nick definitely screwed him up and Joe could only be there for him if and when he was needed.
Sav didn’t bother taking his clothes off, he just fell in the bed. He did notice that Joe had gone around the entire house earlier and closed all the curtains. He knew it was good to be away from that place, but he couldn't quite let himself relax and try to enjoy it, not yet. He knew that it would take time to push the past two and half years of his life out of his mind.
