Chapter 120

Sighing again, Terry continued, ??This is one time when you could be there for him. Question is, are you strong enough to do it???

Kevin pondered. If he went back to Joey, what would happen? Would Joey walk all over him like Cal used to? Kevin knew that wasn??t likely. Unlike Cal, Joey hadn??t begged him to come back, promising him things would be different. Truth was Kevin didn??t actually know if Joey wanted him back. ??Course he does, you bloody fool, his internal voice told him.

Kevin realised if he could pluck up the courage and take the initiative and approach Joey, this would somehow break the usual cycle.

Taking a deep breath, Kevin looked up at his friend??s understanding and concerned face. ??I have to be strong enough, ??cause he isn??t at the moment. Joey??s worth fighting for. I love him, it??s as simple as that.??
