Chapter Fourteen

Sam was miserable as he leaned against the vehicle door while they drove through the flat, unending country of western Oklahoma. They’d cut the trip short. Sam’s episodes were so rampant that the confined cab of Gordy’s pickup was closer than he was comfortable with. This isn’t working. I can’t be with Gordy. For fuck sake, I can’t stand to be around anyone. It’s time to cut him loose. They passed under the interstate and onto the last few deserted miles before they were back at school. It wasn’t fair to Gordy. Sam gathered up his courage and ran through what he would say. By the time they’d stopped in front of his dorm building, Sam understood their relationship was ending.

“This isn’t working.”

Gordy turned to him with a frozen expression on his face. “What’s not working? We hit a rough patch. That’s all.”

“No. It’s not your fault, either. I can’t be in a relationship. Look how many times we’ve tried, and the one time we do more, I have a three-day breakdown. It’s just not working.” Sam’s anger grew. It was like a slow boil as the unfairness of the situation overcame him, and Gordy was his target.

Gordy’s face became mobile. It looked more like someone had kicked him in the nuts, and he was about to puke. Sam charged onward without pausing. “It’s just not working out. I can’t keep my shit together when someone gets close. It sucks, but it’s the truth. There’s no use in drawing this relationship out any further than we already have. It was kicks, but it’s time to call it what it is and take the damn thing off life support.”

Sam walled away his emotions and met Gordy’s stare. By now, his fury had reached a level where he was no longer reasonable and he wanted Gordy as miserable as he’d made himself over the last few days. As soon as the words had left his mouth, he’d regretted each phrase he’d muttered, but he couldn’t seem to keep from throwing their relationship into the bonfire he’d created.

Gordy looked as though someone had ripped open his chest and yanked out his heart. He seemed ready to break down as his lips moved several times with no words coming out. A loud sniffle came from Gordy and Sam was certain a tear rolled down his cheek before he scrubbed his face with his thick flannel sleeve.

“Come on, Sam. I think we’re doing okay. Every couple has bad patches. I bet even your parents had rough spots.”

Sam folded his arms over his chest and glared at Gordy, as Gordy became the person he hated most. “So, you’d be good telling everyone you are gay and we’re doing it? Chance your precious football scholarship to be with me?”

Gordy let out a groan that sounded like he’d just had a three-hundred-pound linebacker hit him in the gut. “You know I… Right now I need…” Gordy had difficulty forming words as he obviously struggled with Sam’s statement. Gordy pulled himself together enough to utter one single phrase.
