Elton had sobered up and tried to avoid me. I would've asked him if what he said was true if I wasn't so scared of the answer. I've been trying to gather the courage for the past hour. I took a deep breath and decided to go for it.
"ELTON!" I yelled. He rushed downstairs and into the living room.
"What?"
"Do you love me? You said you did but you were shitfaced so..."
He stood in silence, deciding what he was going to say. He probably did, no one would wait this long to answer if they didn't. Maybe he's not saying anything because of shock.
"I do..." He said in a faint tone. He tried to leave but I grabbed him by his jacket.
"Shouldn't we talk about this?" I said desperately, not wanting to lose him.
"I don't want too." He said desperately trying to get away.
"Elton... please..." I pleaded.
"Fine... what are we going to talk about?" He sighed.
_________
We had talked for about an hour. I still didn't have any answers.
"Why are you so fucking distant?"
"I just don't... want to be left again." He admitted.
"I would never leave you."
"You left Cynthia and are about to leave Yoko." He pointed out.
"But that's different." I argued.
"Is it?"
"Elton, I love you more than I've ever loved anyone." I reached across the table and grabbed his hand. "I promise."
