Summary: Nine years ago Jared had left Dallas and now he was back and he had only one thing on his mind..... Revenge.
Authors note: With thanks to my late night msn buddie Lizzie for all the reading over she does and my beautiful friend Di for always encouraging me! Oh and I decided I couldnt wait till tomorrow for the final chapter so the link to Chapter 15 is at the end of this post and actually working!!!
By the time Jensen left the cafe Jared was nowhere in sight, he spent the rest of the day alternating between calling his cell which he had obviously turned off and banging on Chads apartment door trying to get Jared to answer him, as evening approached and no light appeared under the door of the apartment, he was informed by a neighbour who had been watching him banging on the door for a while that Jared had left the complex that morning for a run and hadn’t come back yet. So he went to Jareds parents place and spoke to his mom who told him she hadn’t seen Jared in a few days, that he was staying in town with his friend Chad, but she would be sure to tell him he was asking after him the next time he came by.
He had nowhere else he knew of to try, he had even tried a couple more cafes and bars that he knew they had been to lately but nothing, he was scared, Jared was still in his jogging gear wherever he was, he had to talk to him. Damnit! Damn Tom and damn his stupidity for not warning Jared sooner he was around. He had thought he was doing the right thing, Jared had been doing so well, he looked so relaxed and happy and he just hadn’t wanted to upset him or set him back by telling him Tom had called.
Fuck he was so stupid.
He paced his living room floor cell phone clutched in his hand again talking to Jareds answering machine, begging him to call him, when a loud rap to the door stopped him in his tracks. Jared! He stopped Chris from answering telling him he had it and practically ran to the door swinging it open Jareds name on his lips.
What met him as he stood there was a hard fist knocking him flat on his ass and as he sat up clutching what he knew to be a rapidly swelling eye, Chad Murray stood over him, looking more furious than he had ever seen anyone look.
“I warned you, I fucking warned you, you sick fuck! I trusted you! I let you near him! I believed you! Jesus!” He made for Jensen again but was pulled back by an equally furious Chris and both men grappled with each other as Jensen stood on shaky legs.
“Chad, Chad! Listen to me please!”
What Chris lacked in height he made up for in strength and he held a furious Chad back as Jensen tried to reason with him;
“Chad I don’t know what Jareds told you but it’s a mistake I swear to you, please calm down and let me explain, I don’t know what Jared is thinking but he is wrong. Come on man, we are both thinking of Jared here, lets sort this out...please?”
“A mistake? A fucking mistake? The only mistake here was made by me, I made the mistake of letting you anywhere near him! I should have known better, instead I helped you, I helped you get to him and now he’s.......” Chad stopped, and slumped against the wall looking utterly defeated, he shrugged Chris off and Chris let go, seeing that all the fight had left the other man.
“Chad? He’s what? Chad? Please believe me, I had no idea Tom would find me at that cafe, he just arrived in and sat himself down, talked like it was old times, I should have told Jared he was back I know. It was stupid of me, I just thought I was protecting him. I thought he was so happy and content and getting better all the time, and I didn’t tell him he had come back because I thought it was the right thing to do.”
Chad rubbed his face with his hands wearily and sighed, dropping his head for a few minutes before raising it to look at Jensen straight in the eyes. Jensen returned the stare knowing that Chad was trying to reach in and figure out if he was lying.
“I’m not lying Chad, I swear you. I would never deliberately hurt Jared ever again, please....please tell me where he is so I can fix it... please Chad.”
“Austin”
“What?”
“”I said Austin, he is in Austin...he showed up there this afternoon, arrived at the hotel as I was leaving, I was sposed to go do some light scenes and Jared just caught me as I was getting into the car.”
Chad flinched as he remembered the state Jared had been in when he had called Chads name, he had been shivering but that had been more from being in the jog pants and t shirt all that time. After he had got him into a shower and a warm bathrobe, Jared had given him a brief explanation of what had happened.
“Jesus, He went to Austin? How the fuck did he manage that? He had no wallet or anything on him, he was out jogging when he....”
Chad moved past Jensen and sat wearily down on the couch and Chris passed him a stiff drink which Chad took and drank gratefully letting the warmth of the shot calm him down.
“He took a cab, would you believe that? He sat into a cab and got him to take him to Austin! Left me with one hell of a cab fare to pay I can tell you....” He looked at Jensen then and regarded the man as he perched nervously on the edge of the seat facing Chad and god help him but he believed him, but damnit Jared was in such a state...
“You telling me the truth Jensen? Did you really have nothing to do with Tom?”
“No! I swear Chad, I know Jared barely coped with me, I knew how he would feel about facing Tom as well. I should have told him I know but ....I’m sorry I fucked up again”
Chad rubbed his eyes, “No, believe it or not I don’t blame you, I would have been slow in telling him as well, its just unfortunate he arrived when he did. He said you and Tom had been discussing him?”
“Yeah, Tom just landed on the seat and damnit I had already told him I didn’t want to meet up and he was so insistent so I told him I was with Jared now and that we were still in the early stages and working things out and that he couldn’t be around us. I should have kept my mouth shut”
“He thinks you were both laughing at him again you know....I can see where he is coming from, it was all too much. Like history all over again, seeing that son of a bitch with you and it looked like it was a deliberate behind his back meeting and he couldn’t take it.”
Jensen slumped down his head in his hands “I know, Chad I’ve got to talk to him, I’ve got to make this better.”
Chad looked at Jensen sympathy in his eyes “I’m sorry Jensen, I can’t let you do that, not now, not again. He....he isn’t like he was last time Jensen, he hasn’t shed a tear in front of me, it’s like he has shut down completely. He barely spoke to me as it is, and he refuses to even contemplate talking to you, ‘cause I tried to get him to call you back. I just came down here to pick up his stuff, he isn’t coming back here Jensen I’m sorry and I won’t force him, not again.”
Jensen paled noticeably causing the bruise under his eye to stand out even more. “Not coming back? Jesus Chad! He can’t leave now! I’ve got to explain, I can’t let it end like this!”
Chad rose and blocked Jensens path as he made to leave the room making for the front door wallet in and cell phone in his hands.
“You don’t understand Jensen, when I said he isn’t coming back what I mean is.....he isn’t staying in the country, he is leaving, heading to France I think, called the airline before I left, he leaves first thing in the morning. I couldn’t talk him out of it. He is angry Jensen, more angry than I have ever seen him, I almost got one in the face cause I mentioned him calling you back as it is.”
Jensen felt panic rise swiftly, causing him to feel sick to his stomach; “Chad, please, let me go talk to him.... please....he can’t go like this, not like this...god please?”
Chad stared into the wide green panicked eyes of the man who looked to be in as bad a state as his friend. He really looked so stricken, but he didn’t want to let Jared down again even if he couldn’t help but feel that Jensen was sincere. This all sounded like one huge misunderstanding. Damnit! What was he gonna do? He paced the floor, running his hand through his hair and alternately chewing on a nail, glancing at Jensen who stared right back, hope and determination in his eyes. God if he took Jensen to him and it all blew up, Jared was never gonna forgive him. He considered the last few weeks and the change in Jared, how he had dropped the act and just found himself and how happy he seemed to be with Jensen. Jesus surely Jensen could talk to him and explain this whole sorry mess, damnit... he was putting a hell of a lot on the line for a man he barely knew but he just knew he was sincere and he was good for Jared. He swore; “I swear to god Sophia is right, I’m a wuss” He muttered under his breath.
“Sophia?”
“Uh, yeah...My co star in this movie, Sophia Bush...I left her with Jared, I didn’t trust him not to take off before I got back, with or without his stuff. “ He looked to Jensen again...”Damnit! Alight come on...there is a studio car waiting outside, I have Jareds stuff, you can travel with me. But you have got to let me talk to him before you go near him alright?”
Jensen nodded silently; he didn’t care what he agreed to as long as Chad took him to Jared before he left. Chad turned and walked out the door and stopped suddenly “Look uummm, I’m sorry I hit you” He said indicating the now purple cheek that Jensen was sporting and Jensen waved his hand.
“It’s ok... long time coming I guess”
After a fast goodbye to Chris and a promise to call as soon as he had news they were gone out the door and speeding out of Dallas as fast as the driver dared. The journey that normally took about three hours took just less than two and Jensen didn’t even want to contemplate how they got there so fast, suffice to say that he reckon the driver had to have been one of the stunt drivers from the set.
They travelled in silence up the elevator to what Jensen discovered was the top floor and a room that was taking up the whole floor, despite the situation, Jensen had to admit to being impressed. Chad must be doing well for himself to score a room like this from the studio. Once they got off the elevator, they stood in a small hallway leading up to the only door on the floor and Chad halted Jensen outside the door and spoke in a low voice.
“Just let me go see where he is and what kind of state he is in ok?”
Jensen nodded, feeling a bit like he was involved in some sort of conspiracy, which he sposed he was in a way and Chad left him standing outside the door and went in to see where Jared was. He popped his head out two seconds later and indicated that Jensen enter.
Jensen walked into a palace of a room, a small bar stood of to the corner, three large couches took up space in a spacious living area, which contained a massive TV set and a couple of doors leading off of the room which presumably held the bedrooms and a bathroom. A very beautiful young woman stood up from one of the couches as he entered and she smiled warmly greeting him in a low husky voice and introducing herself as Sophia. She turned to Chad;
“As I was saying, he went into the bedroom about an hour ago and I have checked on him a couple times and he is fast asleep, he looks just completely worn out, he hardly said a word all evening” She turned to Jensen then and grinned’ “So you’re the guy that has caused all the bother huh? Look don’t worry about it sweetie, these things have a way of working themselves out. I knew Chad here would come back with you in tow, he can’t resist a sob story” She giggled and neatly evaded the arm that swung out to grab her and Jensen had to smile at the antics of the couple, they were very obviously attracted to each other, the air crackled with it around them. He cleared his throat nervously,
“Look, if he is asleep, do you think I could just head in there and sit with him a while? I really just wanna be near him?”
Chad made to argue but Sophia stopped him with a hand on his arm and smiled brightly at Jensen; “Sure honey, you go on in, its right in there” She indicated a door and as Jensen made his way toward the door she could be heard telling Chad to calm down that if something were to happen they would be right outside.
