Chapter 6
Disturbia

Author's Note:

THIS CHAPTER FOCUSES ON MATT'S POINT OF VIEW in first person rather than Coy's. I wanted to try and do something different for the story, and I wanted to give more insight to Matt's character.

Also, this episode features a few flashbacks that will be in italics to differentiate between the present storylines.

SCENE A

My name is Matthew Gleisner, but my friends call me Matt, or Matty G. I'm eighteen years old and I'm a good athlete at Atlantic City College. I play football and Lacrosse, and I dabble with basketball and baseball every other year. I'm not that bad when it comes to academics, either. I have a good family. I love them. Good friends … and then ... there is someone who means more than anything to me than I could ever imagine.

"You okay?" Ky asked me as he drove his car over to Anthony and Nick's house.

I sighed and looked at him, frustrated. "My boyfriend—who is also your brother—is in danger," I said sarcastically. "How do you think I'm feeling?"

Ky looked over at me with a sad look. "I know what you're thinking," he said to me.  "You think what I'm doing is wrong? That I'm potentially hurting my brother?" 

"Potentially?" I asked with a scoff. "No; there's no potential. I'm sure you're destroying your brother's reputation and taking us down with you in this quest to de-homo-nize Coy."

"I don't think that's a word," Ky challenged.

I slammed on the breaks. "You seriously don't want to mess with me right now," I said to him. "I would never, in my right mind, hurt you, because you are his brother, but I can definitely say, I am not in my right mind if he is in trouble!"

 

Ky just shrugged and began listening to his Ipod touch. He wasn't too worried. He figured Coy had slipped into a study problem with some Jocks and got roughed up. But I felt like something serious was wrong.

Like I said…

My name is Matthew Gleisner, but my friends call me Matt, or Matty G. I'm eighteen years old and I'm a good athlete at Atlantic City College. I play football and Lacrosse, and I dabble with basketball and baseball every other year. I'm not that bad when it comes to academics, either. I have a good family. I love them. Good friends … and then ... there is someone who means more than anything to me than I could ever imagine.

Because I'm in love with Coy. 

SCENE B 

Tony sat watching Coy, as Ryan sat watching television. Coy had tried escaping, and Ryan had used too much force and knocked him unconscious. Now, an unconscious Coy lay there, on the bed, out cold.

"Man, did you have to hit him that hard?" Tony asked Ryan, who shrugged and continued watching the tv.

"The little bitch tried running out on us," Ryan said.

Tony punched the wall causing Ryan to jump. "Look, when I asked you for help, I only did it so I could get Coy away from you and your goons," he said to him. "Matt told me what you were planning to do. I wanted to stop it."

"Why would you want to stop us?" Ryan asked curiously. "I thought you hated Coy."

Tony looked down. "I … I don't hate Coy," Tony said softly. "I … I …"

Ryan's eyes widened. "Oh fuck," he said with a half-gasp, half-laugh. "You're in love with him, aren't you?"

"Why are YOU here?" Tony asked him. "Oh never mind. You're one of those repressed faggots who don't mind fucking a guy but will never actually admit you like cock."

"Don't fucking call me that," Ryan said, jumping up. "I'm not fucking gay.  I'm not like him."

"You're right, you're not," Tony said to him. "He's better than you. He's an angel…"

"And we're the monsters, right?" Ryan said with a laugh. "It's kind of poetic, don't you think?"

Tony looked at his watch. "Shit," he said, pissed. "It's five o'clock."

"Good; you can tell time," Ryan said, walking past him to get something from the fridge. "What's the deal?"

"I forgot, I have to meet Coach for some revisions for Lacrosse," he said with a frustrated growl. "He took Josh out for awhile, maybe the whole season, and I completely forgot he wants to meet with me so we can work out a strategy."

"Dude, we got plans," Ryan said motioning to Coy.

Tony sighed. "Look, I'll be back in an hour … tops!" he said, grabbing his keys. "Help yourself to whatever you want. EXCEPT COY! Do not touch him till I get back."

"Relax, I just wanted a quick fuck, and then you can make love to him all night long, for all I care," Ryan said with a laugh.

Tony was beginning to wonder if it were a mistake involving Ryan in his plans. He didn't have any other choice at the moment, though.

"Touch him, and you're dead-meat," Tony said with a stern look. With one more concerned look at Coy, he walked out of the house.

Ryan laughed and stood watching Coy. "I will try my best not to touch him." He said to himself. "But one thing people say is—I never have any self-control."

SCENE C 

Nick opened the door to see Carmen and Giselle. Carmen rushed in while Giselle flashed Nick a dirty look.

"Don't speak to me," she said to him. "I don't even want to be here. I'm just supporting Carmen."

 

Nick sighed and allowed her inside, shutting the door behind him.

"What's wrong with your face?" Carmen asked, worried when she saw Josh walking down the stairs.

"Dude, you told me that you weren't going to call her," Josh said to Anthony who glared at Nick.

"Look, we need all the help we can, to find Coy," Nick said, defending his actions. "Beat me up later."

"Trust me, I want to," Giselle muttered to herself.

"Answer the question, Joshua," Carmen said with a stern look on her face.

Josh looked away from Carmen while Anthony, Nick, and Giselle just stood there, unsure of what to do about the impending argument.

"Josh, don't you fucking shut me out," She said to him. "You've been using drugs. You've been acting out in school, and doing stupid shit. That isn't you."

"And ratting me out isn't you," Josh said to her angrily. "Thanks to you I got fucking suspended from the team."
 

"I'm sorry, but it's the only way to get your attention when you aren't in a drunken stupor," Carmen said to her boyfriend. "You won't talk to me. You avoid me. You're changing. I just want to know what happened."

"Carmen, maybe this isn't the best thing to do…" Anthony said, trying to stop Josh from exploding. He could see his friend getting angrier and angrier by the second.

"Look, Anthony I don't necessarily have a problem with you," Giselle said to him. "Except that you're related to Fag one and best friends with Fag two. But let these two air it out. He's been friggin' high or doped up for weeks now. She deserves answers. Ohhh … maybe he is gay, too, Carmen."

"Look, you don't have to be here," Nick said to her. "Get the fuck out of my house if you want to leave. But don't  disrespect Coy and damn sure don't disrespect Anthony. Coy's in trouble and you guys are sitting here talking 'bout shit that can wait."

"No, I want to know," Carmen said, determined. "I want to know so I can give Coy all my attention. What are you hiding, Josh?"

Josh pulled his shirt off revealing to them all his bruises and cuts. "You want to know what's wrong with me?" My fucking father's been drinking and beating the shit out of me. He almost kicked my ass because of his ignorance to Coy, and I tried defending Coy, which pissed him off. Now you know … Now you fucking know!"

Carmen stood speechless while, for once, Giselle was shut up by the revelation. Anthony and Nick looked sadly at Josh who had begun tearing up.

"We're here," Ky said, bursting into the house. I (Matt) walked in behind Ky.

"OH, great! Now all we need is Coy, so we can have ourselves a real rainbow party," Giselle said to nobody in particular.

"What happened to you?" I asked Josh, but Nick flashed me a look that meant, 'shut up'. "Well, does anybody know what's up with Coy?"

"I do," Anthony spoke up. "He's been kidnapped."

"Kidnapped?" Ky asked, getting nervous. "What do you mean? For ransom?"

"Not necessarily," Anthony said with a sigh. "Let me explain to you what happened ten months ago … Ky and Carmen will have to fill in the missing holes that I don't know about." 

SCENE D 

Ten months before…

"Why am I here?" Coy asked Ky as they walked into one of the hottest parties of the new year.

"Coy, come on," Ky said to his brother. "It's 2009 now. We have seriously got to get you into a new SCENE other than books. All you've been doing is homework since Winter Break started. It's New Years Eve. Let's make this a Happy New Years and get you drunk and laid."

Coy rolled his eyes and sighed as he allowed himself to be pulled by Ky into the party center.

Meanwhile, a drunk Carmen sat with her crush, Rick Allen, engaging in some heavy petting and kissing.

"God, Carmen, you're so fucking hot," he whispered in her ear. It didn't bother him that there was almost a four-year age difference between the two of them. Only hormones matter, and right that second they were telling his senior-classman's mind that he needed to seal the deal with the hot freshman.

"I know right," she said in a drunken laugh. "I'm having so much fun with you, Rick. I never thought this would happen."

"Well, dreams do come true, ya know?" he said to her with a devilish smile and gave her a kiss. "So, Carmen … what do you say we heat this up for a bit?"

"What do you evah mean, sir?" she teasingly asked him, kissing and licking on his neck.

"I mean, darlin' … I think … you and I … should get to know each other in a more … uhhh … PERSONAL way," he said, flashing his pearly white teeth. "Without all these people around."
 

Carmen might have been drunk but she wasn't stupid. She knew exactly what Rick was getting at. This wasn't her SCENE really. She was popular and did parties, but wasn't exactly a drunk like she was now. She was just so nervous around him that she began drinking a lot more than she usually did.

"Um … I don't know," Carmen said nervously. "I mean … I AM meeting my friends here as well, and I came with Jessica. I don't want to ditch her."

"Oh, come on, beautiful," he said, laying it on thick. "You don't want me to go home by my lonesome, do ya? I thought you liked me, like I like you."
 

"I do; I do," Carmen said with a reassuring kiss. "But … I … I mean, I am still a … you know … a virgin."
 

Rick smiled at her. Even better for him. He had a reputation for taking virginities. "I promise to take it slow."

Carmen was still unsure. But she knew this might be an opportunity that she may never get.

"Okay," she said, and he smiled and kissed her.

"Come on," he said, taking her hand and leading her to a bedroom.

Coy noticed Carmen and Rick meandering through the crowds of people. He was hoping she wasn't about to do … what she was about to do.

"What are you doing?" he mouthed to her, and she smiled and blew him a kiss.

"I'm okay," she mouthed back. Coy sighed to himself. Parties weren't his scene. He hated them. He didn't see the point of them and felt like people who drank to have fun must've been really lame and boring when they were sober.

"Hey, man," a guy said, walking up behind him, shocking him. Coy turned to face the guy.

"Um … hi," Coy said, confused as to why the guy was talking to him. "You must be looking for Ky, my twin brother."

"I don't know him," the guy said with a shrug. "I just noticed that you were here looking as lost as I feel. I'm kinda new here."

"Really?" Coy asked him. He was pretty cute. "Well, it's a good area to move to. School is real nice. Beaches are beautiful. Lots of fun stuff to do."

"I see you got some hot guys here as well," the guy added and Coy flashed him a curious look. The guy was flirting with him.

"Um … Coy James," he replied, sticking his hand out for a handshake.

"Tony D'amato," he said shaking his hand. "I'm bored to hell, here. What do you say we bounce. I got PS3 and Xbox 360 at my house."

"Um…" Coy looked over to see three girls all over Ky. Ky noticed him and smiled a wide grin. "Halo 3?"

 

'Of course,' Tony said to him with a smile.

"Lead the way then," Coy said to who he thought was a new friend. 

SCENE E

"Oh, my God," Carmen said, covering her mouth.

After hearing Anthony recounting the events and Carmen and Ky's adding their parts, the group sat in silence.

Josh already knew but he never heard the whole story in detail. Even then, he knew it would be just as bad, if not worse, hearing it from Coy himself.

Nick looked over at Ky who looked like he was about to cry. He couldn't imagine something like that happening to his brother.

"Coy…" I said to myself. I could feel the tears streaming down my face.

Carmen rushed over and hugged me as I began sobbing uncontrollably. I couldn't help it. It just hit me so hard.

Giselle looked at me with a sad look on her face. She always figured we always would get back together. But once we transferred to Atlantic, we realized it was different. Now she knew what had changed.

'Coy,' she thought to herself.

He changed her life without her knowing it. He took away something special from her. Then she tried to start anew with Nick, but somehow, Coy or Ky ruined that. She just chose to blame Coy.

"I have to go" she said grabbing her purse and heading to the door.

"Giselle, we need your help," Carmen said to her friend. "We have to go find Coy."

"I can't be here," she said to them all. "I'm sorry that happened to Coy, but he's ruined my life. He took Matt away from me. He ruined Nick and me. I could care less what happens to him."

Carmen walked over and slapped her across the face. "You are a conniving, self-centered bitch," she said to somebody she wanted to believe was a friend. "Coy didn't take Matt away from you. Even when you were together, I'm sure you knew he was never really yours. Not completely, anyway. As far as Nick … he never was yours, either. He was Ky's."

Nick and Ky shared a look before looking away.

"Please, Giselle," I pleaded, still crying. "We need your help. You know I never cry like this."

"That's what makes me hate you even more," she said to somebody she once loved. "Here is where I help you. Turn your tears into fuel. Kill Tony!"

With that, she walked out of the house leaving the six of them standing there in shock.

"We can't sit here crying," Nick spoke to his friends. "Look, Coy is probably the nicest person I know. You can sit here like a group of little pussies, or … we can go find him."

Ky looked at Nick in awe. He made him feel strong, even when he felt weak.

"He's right," Carmen said. "Coy needs us. We're his true friends. We all love him."

"What do you guys got in mind?" Josh asked. His best friend needed him … he'd left him alone and wasn't there for him when he should've been there.

"Split up," Carmen said to them. "Josh and I'll take Ocean City and snoop around and see what we can find. Ky and Nick you two head to Margate. I heard Tony say he had a lot of friends there. Anthony and Matt…"

"Atlantic City," we both said in unison. I met his eyes. He met mine.

It was like there was an understanding. We had to save Coy.

"Good, everybody knows exactly what their jobs are," Carmen said. "Cell phones stay on. Whoever finds him … make sure you give Tony hell."

With that, the three pairs of us rushed out of the house in search of Coy. 

SCENE F

Flashback

"Want something to drink?" Tony asked Coy who sat playing on the Wii playing tennis.

"By drink you mean…"

"Something Alcoholic," Tony said with a laugh. "Don't tell me you aren't a drinker."

"I'm not, though," Coy said with a laugh. "I don't know. Most of the shit I tasted, tastes nasty as fuck."

"That's because you haven't tasted my specialty," Tony said with a grin. "Just one drink. For me?
 

Coy sighed to himself. "Fine. One drink," he said heading back to the game "That's it."

Chuckling to himself, he pulled out a drug he had gotten while in Tokyo. It was a severe enhancer that lowers the mind to reason and enhances sex drives.

"That's all it will take," Tony said stirring the pill into the drink. He put two more in there. "Never said anything was wrong with a li'l overdose."

"Where's my drink?" Coy yelled out, playing Tennis. "I'm thirsty."

"Ready to serve you," Tony said walking into the living-room, handing Coy the drink.

He eyed the drink unsure. Noticing Tony giving him a curious look, he chuckled. "You wouldn't be trying to get me drunk to sleep with me, would you?" Coy joked to him.

"Me? Never?" Tony said with a smile. "Drink up."

Coy drank about half the drink and smiled. "It wasn't bad. What's in it?"

"It's a secret," Tony said to him. "But trust me. We'll have a great night."

Coy smiled at him and continued drinking the drink, and playing Tennis. 

SCENE G 

"Nick," Ky said to him as they drove around the city of Margate. It had been thirty minutes and they hadn't discovered many details as to where Tony lived. Apparently, neither had the others, either.

"Ky, I don't want to do this right now," Nick said turning into a Diner where they were meeting the others.

"Do what?" Ky asked playing dumb. "Look, Carmen was right. You're mine."
 

Nick looked over at Ky. Yes, it was true that Ky had complete control over Nick's heart. But he also had hurt that very same heart.

"No, I'm not," Nick denied as he looked away from Ky. "You don't own me."

"But I own your heart," Ky said softly. "Nick … I'm sorry. I'm just so confused. I feel so alone."

"That's because you are, Ky," Nick said, exasperated. "You have alienated your friends—even your own brother. What do you expect? Things to be as peachy as they were before? It doesn't work that way. You burned bridges. You broke my heart."

"But I want to fix it," Ky said, grabbing his hand. Nick pulled away from him. "Please don't close me out."
 

"Why not? You've closed me out for months; maybe you should see how it feels," Nick said stubbornly. "I…"

He was about to say he hated Ky, but Ky pulled him into a passionate kiss. Their tongues fought with one another. Nick could feel all his anger start to subside. He felt his face getting wet but he wasn't crying. It was Ky.

"Goddamn it," Ky said, punching the door. He started crying to himself. He tried to tell himself that what he was feeling was wrong, but with Nick, he felt right. He felt like he…

"Ky, what's wrong?" Nick asked, concerned. Ky met his eyes. He could see the pain in the face of the one who had caused him so much heartache. He could feel it radiating off of him.

"I'm afraid," Ky said looking down.

Nick grabbed his hands. "Ky, what are you afraid of?"

"Loving you," he said simply. He looked Nick straight in his eye. No excuse fighting it because with his brother missing and his emotions out of sync, he didn't have the energy to fight it. "I love you, Nick."

Nick was speechless. He didn't know what to say. How to express what he was thinking in his head. Feeling in his heart. So he kissed Ky to let him know the feeling was mutual. They began to kiss passionately, yet again.

Anthony jumped out of his car and rushed over to Nick's car. He yanked the door open and pulled Nick out of the car.

"Anthony!" Nick said, shocked and nervous. He saw his brother was angry as hell.

"Get the fuck out of the car," Anthony growled at Ky. Ky sighed and got out of the car expecting an impending fight.

Ant, man, don't do this," I said, realizing that even though he hated Anthony, this was his brother, and Ky was bad news. I wished I could split Coy and Ky up to protect him.

Nick tried to pull his brother back from hitting Ky, but Anthony shoved him back.

"What's going on?" Carmen asked as she and Josh jumped out of their car.

Anthony balled his fists up and slammed hard into the side of Ky's face. Ky didn't put up a fight at all, and allowed Anthony to beat his ass. He realized it was true what Nick had said. He had alienated his best friends. No matter how much he had been through with them, he realized that he'd caused this. He could see Nick's sadness in his eyes, but knew that Nick thought the same as he was doing at that very same moment. As the other four were thinking, he was getting what he deserved.

After a few moments, Anthony picked a disheveled Ky up by his collar and spat in his face. "You seriously don't want to find out why I got the reputation I got for being a bad-ass," he said to Ky, looking him straight in the eye. "You ruin things. You destroy. You're highly destructive, and I swear if I ever see you touch my brother again, I will kill you."

"You're going to have to kill me then because I am not staying away from him," Ky said weakly. "I … love him."

"Love … doesn't hurt," Anthony said, slinging him into side of Nick's car. Nick wanted to rush to Ky's aid, but even if he had forgiven him, he knew things were going to be even harder now.

Anthony looked down at his phone to see a text message. He turned and looked at me.

"You, let's go," He said walking past me. "I know where Coy is."

"Where?" Carmen asked anxiously.

Anthony shook his head. "We need to go alone," he said to her. "We'll call you when we get him. Can you and Josh take Ky home. Nick … stay away from him."

While it was obvious both Anthony and I could handle ourselves, mentally, Anthony was the more mature of the twins. Nick viewed Anthony as his older brother.

With a sad look at Ky, Nick got back into his car and watched as they pulled off, out of the parking lot.

"I love you, too," he said to the air. 

SCENE H

Coy could feel something heavy on top of him. A wetness was on his neck and he was trying to figure out what was going on.

Barely opening his eyes, he couldn't recognize where he was at first. He remembered the events that happened after school. The fight. Blacking out…Tony…

'"Fuck," He yelled out as he tried to get up but the object on him was a person. "Tony get off of me."

The person sat up to reveal he wasn't Tony. It was Ryan.

"Aww, you miss your Daddy Tony," Ryan sneered at me. "Come on, let's do what we have to do and I will let him have you for the rest of the night. Till he decides to kill you anyway."

"Why are you doing this?" I asked him. "Why are you trying to hurt me?"

"See from hearing what Tony told me, you can suck a mean dick," Ryan explained. "Kisisng you while you were out, you got some soft lips. "You haven't had sex since Tony so I assume so if you put two and two together…You will get a hot ass dude with an extremely tight hole and a good mouth. I cant pass that up."

"NO!" Coy yelled out as he felt himself being flipped over on his stomach. "NO! STOP!"

"Come on stop trying to fight it," Ryan said ripping his boxers off. "I would've….drugged you but I prefer them to be sober…I like to read facial expressions when I fuck the shit out of a bitch."

Ryan begin rimming Coy trying to get him lubricated as possible. Coy began flashing back to when Tony was doing this the first time. He was remembering how dirty he felt afterwards. How weak…how dumb he felt. He was going to get out of this…alive…and not raped.

"No," Coy said softly to Ryan. "I don't want to do it this way. I want to give it to you. I wanna give you head first. But I need my hands. I promise I wont do anything sneaky. Trust me, I will make you feel something you never felt before."

Ryan thought it over. "Hmm, I do like some good head," He said with a devilish laugh. "Fine, but I will snap your neck if you try and run."

"Deal," Coy said as he was untied. Coy smiled at Ryan who smiled back at him excited for what he was hoping to get.

He kissed Ryan softly on the lips and made his way down to Ryan's endowed dick. Teasing it with his tounge, he looked at Ryan in the eyes.

"God, you're an idiot," Coy said taking the dick in his mouth and biting down on it  hard. Ryan screamed out in pain and kicked Coy off him.

"You fucking bitch…I'm…OH fuck," Ryan said as he howled in pain. Coy wiped the blood from his mouth.

"You should never attack a person who will fight back," Coy said picking up a lamp. He smashed it in the side of Ryan's head knocking him out.

Grabbing his pants, he pulled them on and grabbed his cell phone and headed towards the door and opened it up to see Tony standing there.

"What the fuck?" Tony asked surprised. Coy took a step back as he realized he was far from escaped.

"Please just let me go," Coy pleaded to Tony. "Please."

"I'm sorry but I cant do that," Tony said shutting the door behind him.

Scene I

Carmen watched as Ky walked up the steps to his house. "Wow, Anthony really did a number on him," she said to Josh as they began driving off.

"Look I don't want to talk to you," Josh said to her. "Just let's go back to Anthony and Nick's and wait till we hear about Coy."
 

"Josh, please…" she began, but Josh cut her off.

"Carmen, we're done," he said to her simply. "This relationship wasn't going anywhere, really, and I got other shit to worry about besides you and your bullshit. I don't trust you, and quite frankly, since you cost me lacrosse, I hate you."

"I was trying to help you," she said as she began to cry. Josh shook his head at her sadly. He really didn't want to do this. But she hurt him. So he had to hurt her twice as bad.

"In the next lifetime, make sure YOU come to ME before you try and ruin my life," he said softly. "As soon as this is over with Coy, stay away from me, and I will stay away from you."

Carmen cried silently to herself as they continued driving toward Anthony's house. 

SCENE J 

Anthony and I jumped out of the car as we got to the apartment complex Tony stayed in. He pulled a gun out of his pocket.

"Whoa, what the fuck man," I said to him. "What the hell are you doing?"

"I'm doing what needs to be done," Anthony replied. "One of us has to be a man. Seeing how you can't stand faithful and keep your junk in your pants and protect the one you love, guess it has to be me."

"He didn't open up to me," I yelled. "How was I supposed to know…"

"Why do you think he opened up to me?" Anthony asked angrily. "He didn't trust you. With good reason, I might add."

"You're like a bird waiting to swoop in and take what you can get," I said angrily. "You had your chance before you tried to kill him."

"That was an accident," Anthony hissed. "I made a mistake."

"So did I," I retorted. He shook his head.

"But which one hurts him the most?" Anthony asked me. "Trust me, I don't have to wait around for Coy to come to me. Because he will be mine and I will show him exactly what a good man he deserves."

"You wish," I said, leading the way to Tony's apartment. There was no way I was going to lose Coy to this bitch-ass dude.

Walking up to the door, Anthony looked at me with that smug look on his face. Pissing me off, I kicked the door down.

"MATT!" Coy screamed out as I saw he was tied up. A dazed Ryan stood over him.

Anthony was about to raise his gun, but I snapped and tackled Ryan to the floor and started punching the shit out of him.

Anthony rushed over and began untying Coy. "Are you okay? Did they hurt you?"

"I'm fine,"Coy said as they hugged tightly.

"SHIT!" I yelled out as I felt a gun being placed to my head.

"You  made a bad move by sneaking in here," Tony said cocking the gun. "Coy, I will kill your boyfriend and friend, then…

"Fuck this," Coy cut him off, grabbing the gun from Anthony and firing it at Tony three times. "It's finally over." He looked at me directly. "Matt…"

I looked at Coy who looked at me with a deep sadness in his eyes.

"You knew they were coming for me," he said to me. "You knew they were going to jump me."

"I'm sorry, baby," I said grabbing his hand. "Can you please forgive me?"

"I don't think so," Coy said sadly. "We're … finished."

I sat back crushed as I realized I had put the final nail in my own coffin with Coy. We were truly over. Anthony had won.

"Matt; take him home," Anthony said to me. "I'll have some people clean this mess up. Don't worry about it."

Coy put his clothes on, again, and walked past me, out of the apartment.

"Looks like I win," Anthony said to him. "You really didn't deserve him. He's better off without you."

The sad thing was … he was probably right.

To be continued...
