Rowan was...always there for me now that I look back at it. She always was. She might've been a huge pain in the ass to deal with but...me and her had a connection like no other. A part of me never wanted to disappoint her, I've saw her broken down before and...I never wanted to be the one to blame for it. With that state of mind and her faithfulness, you talk about one hell of a relationship

//Few hours later//
[Rowan's Pov]

Still outside of his door, I started to doze off and leaned my head over on my right side. Just as I closed my eyes, his door opened up and scared the living shit out of me.

"I knew you were still here..." he said, seeming to have calmed down now.

I looked up at him yawning. "Yeah, because I'm here for you"

"I thought you didn't care about me anymore, well that's what you told ya little friends. Make up your fucking mind, I don't fuck with that fake shit"

I stood up to my feet. "Roy just shut up and go back in the room, this is not the time or day to discuss our issues don't you think. If I ain't fucking care, I wouldn't have come here"

I watched him sigh and walk back into his former bedroom, going over to sit down on the end of his bed to bend over. I came in and closed the door behind us, walking up to him next as he sat there looking so down and out.

"What you saw today,...me crying....it stays between us, do I make myself clear" he looked up with serious face.

"Yeah sure..."

"No, that's not an answer I'm looking for. Nobody knows about me crying Rowan, I fucking mean it. Do you understand me?"

"Yes Roy, geez. I wasn't even going to bring it up. You know it's not...bad to cry every now and then. You're human with feelings, someone close to you is....you know, you can't always hold back those kind of feelings"

"I will, I promise you'll never see me cry like that again"

"I beg to differ" I teased, rubbing on his shoulders before he gave me a look like he always does. I ignored it. "How are doing?"

"I'm okay. I think you were...right about me losing my mind. I guess I was trying to bring him back but no matter how many cops I kill..., it wouldn't change anything. I'd probably just be killed myself or thrown into a cell for a life sentence"

"Now you see why I didn't want you to go,...it's suicide. And I wasn't about to let you go down like that Roy, you have people who...care about you"

"I don't think two people count as a whole lot Rowan..."

"Who else are you talking about beside me?"
