Chapter Eight

“…and that was when I decided I’d be better off dead,” Michael finished. Joe handed him a tissue and Michael wiped the stray tears. He hated confessing this stuff. He felt dirty just talking about it.

“Have you told Theron?” Joe asked.

“No. And I don’t plan to. I know I need to tell him all the gory details of LA, but the other stuff was my own doing. I don’t think he’d look at me the same way if I did. Besides, he doesn’t need to know that his previous rejection tipped me over the edge. Theron’s too good a man to have that on his conscience.”

Joe nodded. “How do you feel about trying to take your own life? Will you do it again if things with Theron don’t work out?”

The thought of Theron walking away from him caused more tears to trickle down his cheeks. “I don’t think so, but…”

“But what?” Joe prodded.

“If I tell him and he’s disgusted by me…” God, he didn’t even want to think about it.

He knew now that his friends cared about him, but his feelings for them paled in comparison to what he was beginning to feel for Theron.

Joe leaned forward in his chair and took Michael’s hands. “If he’s disgusted by the things that have happened, then he’s not the man we think he is.” Joe shook his head. “No. I don’t see that being an issue here. If things don’t work out between the two of you, you need to believe it’s not that. Relationships are hard even without the baggage the two of you will be dealing with. I think the best thing for you to do is to open up and tell Theron everything.

Get it all out into the open from the beginning. Then if things don’t work out down the line you’ll know it wasn’t your past.”

Michael started chewing the inside of his cheek, something he often did when he was nervous. Joe had a good point, but could he chance it? “Can I call you if things don’t go well?” he finally asked.

THERON’S RETURN

“You’d better,” Joe said. “Despite what happens with Theron, I expect you in here Monday morning for your regularly scheduled session. If you need to talk over the weekend don’t hesitate to call. Rocco and I will be around.”

“Thanks.” Michael stood and walked to the door. He knew Theron was on the other side in the waiting room being as supportive as any lover could be. Did he have the strength to open up?

“Michael?” Joe asked from behind him.

“I’m okay,” he said. “Just gathering courage.”

“That’s good. Take all the time you need.”

After a few deep breaths, Michael opened the door and came face to face with the man he loved. “Everything okay?” Theron asked with concern in his eyes.

“No. But at least I’m on the right track. Do you care if we stop by BK before going back to the lake house? I need to talk to Charlie.” He had a lot of apologising to do and Charlie was top on the list.
