Thank you to my wonderful Beta Carolyn. You rock. Also thanks to my girls..you know who you are. To the Delph boys, I love you all. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WPS 7 Heath “And this is Emmett Honeycutt.” I look up to see the same man from Babylon, the one who walked away from me. “Well hello again stranger.” Emmett smiles at me. “What brings you here?” “Justin invited me.” Smiling at the tall man. “I should have known Emmett met you since you’re a hunk and he’s such a bottom boy.” Deb laughs out. “But in the most respectful sense Emmett dear.” “I know Deb, all is good. I know what you mean.” Emmett gushes out. “Well then I’ll leave you two to get to know each other better.” Walking away I look at Emmett. He’s a tall man, nice looking and most definitely a bottom. “Oh they’re here.” The shorter brunet said who I believe is Michael. Waiting for the door to open Emmett looks at me smiling. You can tell he loves parties. As the door opens revealing Brian with his hands over Justin’s eyes he steps inside. “Ready Sunshine?” Brian smiles as Justin nods his head. “Yes I’m ready.” Justin enthusiastically lets out a laugh. “Ok one, two three.” Brian removes his hands and at that moment everyone yelled at once. “Surprise.” “Oh my god. This is great. I knew that there was a party but this is really cool.” Looking around Justin sees the decorations that Emmett had put up for his and Ben’s party. “Happy birthday Babies.” Emmett once again gushes out as he hugs Justin and Ben. Ben was already surprised when they got here earlier. They wanted to do it separately, and Ben was first since it was Justin’s place. But Ben didn’t seem to mind. “I love it.” Justin hugs Brian, kissing him before turning around to say hi to the gang. Brian spots me and his face loses the smile as he walks over to me. “Hey Brian, great party. Justin looks happy.” I smile out as he moves in front of me. “He’s happy and I plan on making him stay that way. Now what the fuck are you doing here?” Brian looks upset with my presence. “Nice to see you too stud.” Smiling my best smile. “Stop with the games Heath, what the fuck are you doing here?” Brian asks once again. “I invited him. Do you actually know Heath?” He looks from me to Brian. “Happy birthday Justin.” I tell him handing him a big package. “Ohh a present, you didn’t have to.” Justin beams as he opens it; I look at Brian who has the look to kill in his eyes. Justin gets a big smile on his face as he opens the gift I got him. His eyes widen as he sees what’s in it. “Oh my god. Heath, how did you get this? This is like not even out to anyone yet. She hasn’t had a show yet. This is amazing. Shit.” Justin beams as he looks at the piece of art I got him. “I know the artist. She’s one of my clients. I’m designing her house here. I told her that I have a friend who loves art and is awesome himself and would love to give him a piece of hers. So she told me to pick which piece. So I picked this one knowing you mentioned it before in one of your interviews about your own art.” Smiling he hugs me. “What is it Sunshine?” Debbie asks. “Its called Enigma by the upcoming artist Cristianna Centiev. She hasn’t even had a show yet.” Turning back to me he smiles. “This is so fucking amazing. I love it. Thank you.” I look at Brian who seems to be boiling but when Justin turns towards him, he hides it. “Isn’t this great?” “Perfect Sunshine.” Brian smiles. “Now why don’t we get to the rest of the gifts.” “I love presents.” Justin beams out. “We know.” Brian puts his arm around Justin, sitting him down on the stool. Justin Opening the presents I get some art supplies, a make over, musical theater tickets, gift cards to a few stores. “Here’s mine.” Brian handed me an envelope. Opening I find two tickets inside to a few places. “Oh my god, Brian. We’re going to these places?” I look through the tickets. Italy and France. “Well in order for you to get the true feeling of seeing art where it was made you must go there.” I jump at him, hugging and kissing his lips. “Oh shit, thanks.” Smiling at me he looks like he wants to say something. “Well let’s have cake.” Emmett claps his hands. “Wait, there is one more. It’s not marked.” Michael hands me the last package. Opening it up I look at the typed card. ‘Justin, I hope you like this gift. It was very well much the one true thing you deserve.’ Name not needed.’ I look around at everyone who seems to want to see as well. Opening the little box I pull the paper back to see a frame upside down. Smiling I pick it up, turning it around to see what picture someone had framed. My eyes widen as I see the contents of the framed picture. I look up at Brian who has a look in his eyes. “What is it Sunshine.” I look at Heath who is standing next to Emmett. “You fucking piece of shit.” I run towards Heath, but someone grabs me from behind. “Justin, what the fuck?” Turning around to face Brian. “You and that, that man are, are fucking.” I can’t even get the words out. “This is a joke isn’t it?” I yell at Brian. “What?” Brian takes the frame from my hands and gets a look in his eyes, looking straight at Heath. “You fucking prick. Why would you do this?” “I didn’t do shit, what is it?” Heath moves closer to us as Brian shoves it to him. “Shit, fuck, I didn’t do this Brian. I wouldn’t destroy Justin’s party.” Heath looks at me. “Justin I didn’t do this.” “Then it’s not true?” I sob out. I see the look in both their eyes and I know the truth. “Fuck you’re married?” I whisper out. “Justin, let me explain.” Brian starts to say as I hear gasps from the room. “Let you explain. Explain that you’re already married. How the fuck did this not get back to me before. When Brian? When did this happen?” “White party. The last one I went to. “ Brian quietly answers. “The one I was going to go to but stayed here for Mel and Lindz wedding?” Brian nods his head. “Fuck Brian that was over three years ago. And why didn’t you tell me?” I say through tears. “You’re married?” Debbie yells at Brian. “Deb, please let me handle one person at a time.” Brian tells her never taking his eyes off mine. “I didn’t tell you Justin because it was drug induced.” “That’s not a fucking excuse.” I move away when he tries to touch me. “No, I can’t believe that you didn’t think it was important enough to tell me.” I cry out. “It was supposed to be annulled.” He looks at Heath. “He’s right Justin. He left me money to do it, but I didn’t. I thought it would be wild to stay married to him.” Heath moves by us. “That’s not the point. Is this why you came back? To claim him?” I yell at Heath. “No, well yes. But that was before I saw you two together and heard the stories of you two. I didn’t want to tear you apart. He loves you Justin. We’re actually in a divorce.” Heath proclaims. “I don’t fucking care. You both lied to me. I know he loves me, but he obviously doesn’t trust me enough to have told me all this before.” I turn toward Brian once more. “Justin, please.” I shake my head. “I need to get out of here. I need to get away from you. I can’t believe you wouldn’t trust me. I can’t believe we’re engaged and you wouldn’t tell me something as important as YOU’RE MARRIED.” I walk towards the door. “Justin please wait.” Brian screams out. “Brian, please, for the sake of us both, leave me alone right now.” He looks at me like I slapped him. Now he sees how I feel. “Happy fucking birthday to me.” I yell out as I walk out the door. Brian I stand there like I was a lost puppy who just saw a car hit his mother. “Brian?” Debbie looks at me. “Debbie, leave me the fuck alone right now. Everyone OUT of my house.” I turn to Heath, “You too.” “Brian I didn’t, “ Heath starts but I stop him. “I don’t care. I need to go after him.” I move towards the door but am grabbed by Emmett. “Baby, I know this hurts but he’s hurting a lot more. You know how he is, he just needs time.” Nodding I look at Emmett. “Get these people out of my house.” Looking at everyone I tell them “If I find out who fucking did this, I swear, our friendship is over. Now everyone out.” I move to the bar for a drink. Everyone walks out as Heath and Mel come to me. “Mel and I talked, neither of us told him. Brian I’m not here to destroy your relationship with Justin. I wouldn’t do that to you, or him.” I nod my head at him as Mel continues, “I wouldn’t have done it. I love Justin, plus this is going way beyond the client/ attorney privileges.” “Mel I know you wouldn’t do it. As much as you have disliked me, I know you wouldn’t do this to Justin. But who else knew?” I look down. “Fuck Michael.” “How would he get a license?” Mel asks before looking at me “Shit he was in the office alone with your file. He could have, but why would he?” “Because he has never truly liked Justin. I swear if it’s him, I’ll never forgive him.” Moving over to Mikey I turn him to face me. “Did you do this? Did you steal a copy from Mel’s office?” He looks at me in shock. “Brian I wouldn’t do that to you.” He stutters out. “Bullshit Michael, it WAS you. It’s in your eyes. In your face. You could never lie to me.” “Ok, maybe I did,” I didn’t let him finish his sentence as he hits the floor after I punch him. “I don’t care why you did it. Get the fuck out of my house. And stay out of my life Michael. Our friendship is over. Do you hear me? O. V. E. R..” I storm into the bedroom and look at an empty bed. Falling onto the bed I let the tears fall down my face as my life crumbles to the ground. Through tears I scream out the only thing on my mind. “Justin.” Which came out more like a whimper then a scream.
