The shrill ringing of the phone woke me from a deep sleep. I fumbled in the dark, knocking something off the bedside cabinet before finding the receiver.
“Hello”
“Mikey?”
“Yeah”
“You ok…you didn’t call me!”
I sat up, realizing instantly that was a bad idea. My head ached and my mouth felt like it was stuffed full of cotton wool. I took a sip of water before answering Brian.
“Sorry Brian…I forgot”
“Ok. You want me to come over…bring something for breakfast?”
The thought of food made me feel nauseous and I wondered if I was coming down with something.

A/N: RL calls so this is it for a while. Will try and finish it tonight. I am somewhat regretting attempting to write this story in drabble form but will persevere and hopefully conclude it for everyone's liking soon.

The morning dragged. Customers came and went. I worked on auto-pilot, answering questions, stocking shelves, my mind filled with thoughts of Ben.
I’d picked up the phone a dozen times, my fingers poised to dial his number but always stopping at the last moment.
At midday I put up the closed sign, ignoring the irate knocks on the door.
I picked up my cell, finally finding the courage to punch in his number, holding my breath, not knowing what I would say if he answered. All I got was a recorded voice saying ‘this number is unreachable at the moment’

“It’s not his fault!”
“Stop defending him Mikey. He made the choice to use that stuff”
I sighed. I knew that no words would make Brian understand. He could only see what Ben’s actions were doing to me not the reasons behind them.
But whatever Brian’s thoughts were I was just pleased he was here for me at the moment.
This was just the first day of what I knew were going to be many for me to get through alone.
The knowledge that deep in my heart I knew Ben would come back to me would keep me going.

Title: Silent Stillness
Notes: pendulumchanges beta'd this for me. *smackles Pend* I wanted to write today and I have a weakness for parallels, so this came to mind, based on "Quiet Surrender" the other day.
And the condom goes to: Brian
The loft was dark and empty and still. Brian stared at the door for a long time, wishing it would open and Justin would come back in, yet knowing it wouldn't happen. He walked to the bar and poured himself a drink, feeling the walls closing in. Sighing, he thought of all the things he could have said or could have done to keep Justin from leaving. But he couldn't say them -- wouldn't say them -- so now he was here, alone again. And this time he knew that Justin wasn't coming back. He closed his eyes against the settling stillness. |

I started the cooking classes. Two evenings a week.
They began as something to fill the empty hours but I soon found myself looking forward to them.
I came home with pages of recipes to try and felt an amazing amount of pride when something turned out to be not only edible but surprisingly good.
I couldn’t wait till Ben came home so I could show off my new talents.
Everything I did or saw I squirreled away in the back of my mind to tell Ben.
He was always in my thoughts.
My belief he would return never faded.

Time seemed to stand still.
I had been playing this moment over and over in my mind since the day I had told him to leave.
Every version was different and they all flooded through my mind, tumbling over each other, as I stood staring at him.
He looked exactly the same as he had the day he left.
I didn’t know why that surprised me.
The steroids had taken control of his mind, which in turn told his body that they were what he needed.
But he was still Ben.
Then and now.
Still the love of my life.
