Chapter 30

Daniel's P.O.V.

   I'm sitting in the waiting room when I hear the front door open. I don't look up, I just keep my head in my hands and pull at my hair. All of a sudden, someone grabs me and throws me on the floor.

   "What the fuck did you do to him?" Preston spits in my face.
   "I didn't do anything. Now get off me before I have to put you in a bed of your own," I say throwing him off of me and standing up. But I don't walk away. I stand there and tower over Preston.
   "Don't lie Preda. Don't lie like you always do!" He screams and then begins to cry.
   "Me? I'm the lier? Okay then Mr. Perfect. You said you loved Joey. And yet you soberly went out and had an afair with another guy. That is what I call lying," I say in a whisper because for some reason, everything sounds alot scarier when you clench your teeth and whisper.
   "And what about your little afair?" He spits at me as if he can make me cry. He must not know the things I have been through.
   "I didn't have an afair. I was drunk and stressed. Our situations are completely different," I say to him backing out of his face a little.
   "No they're not Daniel. We're in the same boat but Joey loves me more," He says with a little chuckle like he is proud of what he did to Joey.
   "Do you even love him?" I say realizing the whole situation now. The way he talks about Joey, he doesn't actually care.
   "Hell no. Why the fuck would I love that piece of shit? He just has an audience and that is the only way my modeling career will pick up. You thought I actually love that fucker?" Preston's words spin around my head and ny heart begins to speed up. He just- he- he doesn't love Joey?

   "You're a sick bastard Preston," I say and walk away. Why? Why does he have to do this? Why doesn't he actually love Joey?

   I have to tell Joey. But I bet he won't believe me...
