Daniel's P.O.V.

As I am driving my thoughts over take me. What if Joey already knows? What if he just wants you to tell him?
He can't already know. No one has told him.

When I pull out of my thoughts I am in my driveway. I walk over to Joey, he looks like he has been crying, and try to grab his hand. But he snatches it away from me. Hurt and anxiety is written all over my face. I can feel it. Joey claims that it was just a muscle spasm. But I can tell it was much more than that. He looks like he saw a ghost he is so pale. What's going on?

We walk inside and I sit on the couch. I wipe my hands on my knees to try to calm myself down. It doesn't work. Joey comes over and sits on my lap, staring straight into my eyes. As if he knows i'm not telling him something.

"So has Mr. Harden said anything to you about his afair thing?" He say playing with my hair.
"No. The only person that has said anything is you. Why?" I say. I probably sound so guilty.
"I don't know. The whole aspect of someone cheating has always interested me. You know?" Joey says placing his hands on the back of my neck massaging the hairs back their.
"How so?" I say without looking him in the eyes. I think he can tell too.
"Oh you know. The aspect of doing something on a personal level to two people. Sometimes they can't tell which person they like better. It is pretty awful. You know? Because if they really loved the first person, like they said they did, then they wouldn't have done anything with the second," he says sounding like he is fighting back tears, "but I guess that is where I got lucky. Because I have you, Daniel. You would never hurt me... would you?" He say placing a soft kiss to his forehead. Where he kisses me burns as if he placed a venom there.
"No. No I wouldn't," I say trying to smile naturally but clearly failing. I think he is noticing.
"Do you think they do it for the thrill of it Daniel? The everlasting adventure of not knowing when they will get caught. Or even the not knowing if their partner already knows? Because that is what I think drives them," He say. His voice cracked a bit. So much is going through my mind. I can't process this.
"I don't know, Joey. That could be it," I say. My throat burns because I am trying to fight tears. I don't like where he is going with this.
"So Daniel, answer one more question for me," he says biting his lip. Good. He is going to change the subject.
"Anything baby," I say with a clearly more relaxed tone in his voice. He leans close to my ear where his lips are basically attached to them.

"Was thrill the reason you cheated?" He whispered as he got off my lap.

My throat goes dry and I instantly feel sweaty.
"W-what?" I say. Maybe he is just teasing me. Or maybe, he's not.
"You bastard! Don't play dumb with me. I know you had sex with Mr. Harden. I wanted you to tell me. Daniel, remember when I said no more secrets? Why didn't you tell me," he yells. A single tear slides down his face. I really want to pull him in my arms and wipe them away. But, I know I can't.
"Joey, I was drunk. It didn't mean anything. I didn't tell you because I knew you would be mad. I don't want to loose you, Joey," I say pleading with every bone in my body.
"Well that's too late. Have a nice fucking life. You cheater. I'm sure Dr. Joiner won't be happy when she hears about this, Mister Preda," his voice is spiteful whenever he calls me Mister Preda. I try to say something else but he is already out the door by the time I open my mouth.

You fall in love the way you fall asleep, slowly and then all at once. Sadly, you can't break someone's heart slowly. You can only break it all at once. I broke someone's heart. I did exactly what I never wanted to do. Breaking his heart is what broke mine.
