Indy’s stomach rolled and lurched. It wasn’t the kind of sick where your stomach wanted to get rid of something bad you ate, but the kind of unease that informed you about a spectacularly bad decision.

I took off.

Noah was in the hospital, in wicked bad shape, and Indy had split. What did that say about him, about his character? What kind of boyfriend was he if he wasn’t there when Noah needed him the most? This is why he’ll choose Josh over you. Well, he would’ve if it wasn’t for Connor. You don’t deserve him, either of them.

He bit his lip as he drove the 87 eastwards toward New York City, more by chance than by plan. He’d taken off on instinct, and now he had no idea where to go. God, he sucked, both as a boyfriend and as a human being. Who took off like that, without saying anything?

He’d been so damn scared. When he’d woken up from Noah thrashing in the bed, he’d known something was horribly wrong. Noah had been out of it, so hot. He hadn’t known what to do, except to get Josh. Josh had told him they would take Noah to the ER, that he was way sicker than he’d let on.

In hindsight, he should’ve known something was off. The stump had been bothering Noah the last few days, more than usual. Noah rarely took painkillers, and Indy had noticed him take one twice on the paintball range. Afterward, he’d been slightly out of it. Indy recognized it from how he’d felt after the acid attack. They’d sedated him at first to cope with the pain, but after that, he’d been on heavy painkillers. Industrial strength, the treating physician had called them. They worked well to block the physical pain, but they also made you numb emotionally. That’s what he’d seen in Noah, that flat emotional state. Like nothing got through to him.

They’d had sex, even, the night before. The movie had been nice, with them cuddling on the couch. He’d been overly careful not to touch Noah’s leg again, but Noah had assured him it was fine. He’d apologized up and down for that morning, had repeatedly said it was all on him and not on Indy. Indy had believed him, had figured it was a weird fluke with his leg. After all, they’d had sex. But even during the sex, something had felt off. Noah had been performing on autopilot. He’d been emotionally switched off. Damn, he should’ve known then. Should’ve said something. You missed it, but Josh would’ve damn well noticed if he hadn’t been so caught up in Connor.

When he’d heard Connor call that ambulance, he’d bolted straight out the door. He couldn’t do this. He couldn’t watch him die. He’d observed from across the street as Connor carried Noah outside. Noah’s body had hung limp and unresponsive in the cop’s arms, and Indy’s heart had stopped. The way he’d looked, so deadly still, Indy knew it was bad. Really bad.
