“Oh, Mason, I’m so sorry.”

“They say that ignorance is bliss. I wish I was still blissfully ignorant,” Mason laughed bitterly. “Not knowing what I am missing is so much better than knowing and not being able to have it.”

*** Cooper grew more concerned by the second as Mason’s laughter became almost hysterical in nature then turned to sobs. He wished he had Jack’s neck in his hands right there and then. He’d be wringing it.

He didn’t know what had happened between Mason and Jack, but it had obviously been something major. He wondered if he was going to be able to get Jack’s ass out of this one. Pulling off the freeway, Cooper drove down Hall Boulevard until he spotted Mason sitting at the bus stop. He pulled over and opened the passenger side door. Seeing Mason’s wet, chilled body shiver as he climbed into the car, Cooper turned up the heat and then drove back toward the freeway.

Cooper glanced over at Mason. He didn’t look so good. His eyes were all red and swollen, showing that he had cried a lot. He was soaked to the skin, shivering. His eyes had a sort of sad, desolate look to them. All of the usual light and vibrancy had gone out of them.

“You want to talk about it?” Cooper asked.

“No.” Okay, that was even more worrisome to Cooper. Usually Mason wanted to talk about his problems. Besides, if Mason wouldn’t talk about it, how was he supposed to help? Maybe he should go talk to Jack.

Twenty minutes later Cooper pulled into a parking spot in front of Mason’s apartment. He glanced over at Mason who had spent the entire ride back to town staring out the window not saying anything.

“Look, honey, I’m gonna go back to my place and grab a few things, maybe stop and get us some chow, then I’ll be back, okay?”

“I’ll be fine, Coop, just go on home.”

Cooper looked at Mason with concern. “Mason, I’m not so sure you should be alone right now.”

“I’m fine, Coop. I’m going to go inside, take a shower, and go to bed. I’ll call you tomorrow, okay?”

“Mason—” Cooper tried again.

“Cooper, I need to do this on my own. I can’t keep relying on you every time my life doesn’t go the way I want it to. I’m a big boy. I can handle this,” Mason said as he opened up the car door.

Cooper reached over and placed his hand on Mason’s arm. “I know you’re a big boy, Mason, I just don’t…”

“Cooper, it’s okay. Thank you for coming to get me. Now go home,” Mason said as he pulled his arm away from Cooper’s grasp. Cooper watched as Mason climbed out of the car and walked to his apartment. He turned and gave Cooper a little wave before unlocking his door and walking in, shutting the door behind him.

Oh yes, Jack was definitely his next stop.

*** Mason closed the door behind him and turned on the living room light. He blinked several times at the sight before him before he quickly turned and opened the front door.
