Black Lace

“I’d never do that to him, or anyone else in the band,” Donnie says firmly.


“I can tell you wouldn’t from the way you sound. And that brings me to do this: I think I owe you an apology, Donnie.” Jamie sighs.


“I’ve been cold towards you, and it hasn’t actually been your fault.”


“I ah…I guess I’ve noticed that you don’t really like me. I kind of wondered why,” Donnie replies.


“It’s nothing you did. I saw you when you auditioned for the band, and you reminded me of Bert: young, gay, good looking. You know the story there, right, what happened with Bert?” Jamie asks.


“I probably don’t know everything, but I know what was in the papers. Bert and Jed had an affair while you and Jed were still married, while Jed was still in the closet. And then Bert got kicked out the band, and he sold out Jed, told everyone about the affair.” Donnie personally thinks Bert sounds like a total asshole, to betray a friend, a lover, like that.
