A Love Mess: Who loves who? Accusations
Arlen was propped against a stack of thin hospital pillows, his face still swollen along one side, an IV taped into the back of his hand, looking smaller than Cade had ever seen him, smaller than how he was at the press conference. Cade stood near the bed, ignoring the chair that was beside him. The room smelled faintly of antiseptic and the particular sterile plastic of hospital linens, a smell that clung to the back of Cade's throat and made the whole space feel colder than it probably was. Arlen's hair, so carefully styled hours earlier, had gone flat and damp against his forehead, and the borrowed hospital gown hung loose off one shoulder in a way that made him look younger than his age, stripped of every polished edge the gala had required of him."You don't have to be here," Arlen said, voice thick and hoarse, not quite looking at him. "I know I probably annoyed you so much tonight. You don't owe me a hospital visit on top of everything else.""I'm not here because I owe you an
A Love Mess: Who loves who? Allergies
The emergency room was too bright, all white tile and fluorescent hum, the kind of light that made everyone look a little bit like a ghost. Cade sat forward on a hard plastic chair in the family waiting area, elbows on his knees, staring at a closed door with Arlen's name typed onto it.Max and Brennon stood and leaned on the wall just a few feet away from him. Nick was still at the gala, searching for what had caused this whole thing in the first place. Faintly, he could hear the voices of their parents, making calls and questioning what Arlen had gotten in contact with at the party. But no one has been able to get an answer to it yet. Even Cade was confused. The only weird thing he noticed was the faint faint drop of water by that waiter. But it was wine that had splashed and it also got on him too. So he was confused why Alren had gotten this kind of reaction. Cade brought out his phone, scrolling through the news. The reporters were having a field day with this embarrassing occu
A Love Mess: Who loves who? Gala
The invitation had sat on the table for four days, embossed in blue script that Justin refused to look at directly, as though avoiding it might make the whole event disappear. The Cliff Foundation Charity Gala—In Honor of Fifteen Years of Partnership. Underneath, in smaller print, Cade's name sat beside Arlen's, they were invited as couples. Justin clenched his fist as he continued to stare at the invitation, wishing for it to burn immediately. These events were putting his patience to a test. First the two days trip, now a public event that would continue to solidify Arlen as Cade's partner. When it should be him. He was tired of doing nothing about it. Not anymore.The click of the door made him put him the rehearsed smile perfected only for Arlen. "You ready?" Arlen nodded, patting his styled hair, as if telling it to remain still for the night. He walked towards Justin, hugging him, " I hate that my father has influenced his friend to hate on your family. Now you can't come wit
A Love Mess: Who loves who? Dinner
Cade's phone rang just as he hit the send button on the email he had just typed. He checked it. Mom.He almost let it go to voicemail, still busy with his work, but guilt won out and he answered on the fourth ring. "Hey, Mom.""I thought Mr CEO would be so busy not to pick up his own mother's call," she said but there was no edge to it, just something playful.Cade dragged his palm down his face, "I don't have time for this, mom.""You never have time for anything. Anyway, we'll be having dinner at Mr Clifford's house today by 6:30pm.""Is there a special occasion?""Yes, a gala is coming up but we'll discuss more of that at the dinner table.""Can't it just be said through the phone?""No, Mr Clifford insisted. You know how your father and his friends like to have everyone around."Cade sighed, "okay, fine. I'll be there.""Just you? You're coming with Arlen so don't forget to let him know. I tried calling him but his line is not going through. Did he change his number?""Fine, I'll
A Love Mess: Who loves who? Break up?
Arlen woke up with his head throbbing, a dull, insistent pounding that seemed to pulse in time with his own heartbeat. He sat up, touching the side of his face before running a hand across, wincing at how even that small motion sent a fresh wave of pain rolling behind his eyes. The room was too bright, sunlight slanting in through a gap in the curtains he didn't remember leaving open, and for a moment he just sat there, blinking against it, trying to piece together where the night had gone. He heard the shower running, indicating that Justin was in the bathroom. He didn't remember much of last night, but he remembered feeling like shit all through yesterday which made him go to the bar to get a few drinks. A few drinks turned to a lot before deciding to come back home. What came after that was mostly fragments, blurred at the edges, the kind of memory that felt more like something he'd been told about than something he'd actually lived through. The shower went off and some seconds l
A Love Mess: Who loves who? Drunk
The front door opened around eleven in the night with more noise than it needed to, a fumbled key, a stumble against the frame, a muttered curse before it finally swung shut. Cade looked up from the couch, one earbud still in, thumb paused over his phone. The television murmured low in the background, some show he'd stopped following twenty minutes ago, more noise to fill the house than anything he actually cared to watch. Arlen didn't seem to notice him at first. He crossed the living room in an unsteady line, shirt untucked on one side. He smelled like whiskey from halfway across the room, the kind of smell that clung to a person after hours of drinking rather than one. Cade pulled the other earbud out, watching as Arlen swayed and stumbled on his way. There was something almost hypnotic about it, the way a person who normally carried himself so carefully could come apart like this, all sharp edges gone soft and unpredictable. His steps were heavy and uneven, like the floor kept s
