“Dickhead, don’t fucking do it. You thought you loved that girl that broke your heart when you left college to go home, you thought you loved Becca and you both ended up wanting to just be friends, and now you think you love this chick. What happens when you decide to leave the force and realize in another six months that you don’t actually love her, but you love her neighbor?” I slam my hand down on the table really fucking pissed at Young for the first time ever.
“Young—”
“No, Campbell, I’m serious. Dick, you fall in love too fast, you let these girls rip out your heart, and now you sit there and tell me you’d be willing to give up your dream job for more heartache?”
“Fuck you, Young. I thought I loved Cindy, and I thought I might love Becca, but Mel, no fucking question in my mind. I would fucking lay down my life for her, I would kill rather than see her in any pain, I would fucking do anything in this world for her. Fucking anything!” I close my eyes and shake my head.
“Dick, would you give up your job for her?” The way that Campbell says it, makes me feel even worse.
“Yes,” I whisper. I don’t want to do it, but if it’s the only way to be with her, I’d leave in a heartbeat.
“Fuck that shit, come home and I’ll set you up with some grade A fine pussy. You’ll forget all about her.” I can feel tears stinging my eyes for the first time in my adult life. How could I ever leave her? I fucking love her.
“You don’t fucking understand. I’ve never felt like this before, I am so completely head over heels in love with her. I don’t give a fuck if you don’t believe me. I know what I feel. Mel, she’s it for me. I will spend the rest of my life trying to make her happy.”
“But at what expense?” I squeeze the back of my neck, beyond frustrated with Young.
“Look, I called you guys to help me, not to make me feel like more of a fucking piece of shit. You think this is easy for me? I just convinced my family to move for Christ’s sakes.”
“Dick, I think you need to talk with her and see what she thinks of all of this. Maybe you’ve gotten yourself all worked up for nothing, and she would want to move to New York. You haven’t even asked her.” Leave it to Campbell.
“What it all comes down to is that I’m terrified to lose her. I don’t know how I would survive.”
“Fucking pussy. Man up and tell her that then. You think I wanted to stroke my own dick that whole time trying to convince Maddie to be mine? Fuck no, but if you really love her, you need to tell her how it is. You fucking over-think shit, Dick. I told you to just fuck her and not think about having to leave, well you one-upped it, and now you say you love her. Have you even told her?” Holy fuck with Young, he’s riding my ass for no reason.
“Young, I don’t know what the fuck your problem is, but I do fucking love her. No, I haven’t told her yet because I’m fucking terrified to lose her. You and Maddie, and Campbell and Kenz, all had to deal with some fucking awful shit to get to where you are. Why is it so hard to believe that this might be the shitty part for us?” I get up and start pacing.
“Seriously, Young, what the fuck is your problem?”
“You want to know my fucking problem? I’ll tell you my fucking problem. Maddie’s late.” I stop pacing and my eyes widen. Holy shit. “So yea, I’m sorry if I’m being a douche, but I’ve got a lot on my mind, and Dickhead, you want to know terrified? Come hang out with me and Maddie for a little while. She’s ready to chop my dick off, and I’m terrified she might.” That makes me chuckle.
“How late?” I’m glad Campbell asked because I didn’t want to.
“Two weeks.” I sit back down and squeeze the bridge of my nose.
“Did a condom break, or you just didn’t use one?” I say it evenly so he doesn’t jump down my throat, but shit, those are the only ways.
“We were in the shower, and well, shit got out of hand. I fucking pulled out before I shot my load, though. I realized what I was about to do, and I fucking pulled out.” Holy shit. This is the same guy that thinks he knows everything about sex. He doesn’t even realize he could still get Maddie pregnant that way.
“It’s going to be fine, man. If she is, we will all figure it out.”
“I agree with Campbell. We’ll figure it out, but Young?” I smile, and I’m glad he can’t see me.
“What?” I try to hold back a laugh.
“Did you guys ever think to take a pregnancy test?” I can hear Campbell trying not to laugh, but Young has gotten so quiet.
“I have to go, good luck with the love of your life, Dickhead.” He hangs up, and Campbell and I laugh.
“Guess he’s going to the pharmacy.”
“Dick, if you really love Mel as much as you say, do whatever it takes. We’ll always be here for you.” I have so much swimming in my head right now, I can’t even think straight. I’m so fucking confused.
“Thanks, man. Hey, make sure you let me know what happens with those two, and I’ll call you after I talk to Mel.” We talk for a few more minutes, and he fina
lly wishes me luck and hangs up. I decide to go take a shower and try to process the last half hour.
After my shower, I am sitting in my childhood room trying to process all this information. Campbell and Kenz are getting married, Young and Maddie could be parents, and me, well, I’ve found the love of my life, and I’m scared to death I’m going to lose her. I need to stop being such a pussy and man up. I need to tell her how much I love her, but not only that, I need to tell her about my family moving back with me. I want her to come, I want to make my life with her, but I just don’t know if that is realistic. Fuck, I hope it is. I scrub my face, and there is a knock on my door. I look over at it, and my mom pokes her head in. “Hey, my boy. Can we talk for a minute?” I pat the bed next to me, and she sits down. She looks at me and smiles, but quickly frowns. “What’s wrong?” I try to mask my face with a smile.
