Something Tells me Were

Bradley left and all Jake knew was that he was hurting. Getting called back to Top Gun could only mean it was going to get a whole lot worse or he just might end up with the answers he needs.Loving Bradley Bradshaw had been easy, it was just like breathing for Jake. He even thought about what marrying Bradley would be like. Would their first dance be a country song and would Bradley play “Great Balls of Fire” on the piano before the night was up? Honestly, Jake should have known it was all too good to be true. No one ever wanted to stay, he was too much, too high maintenance, and too selfish. Walking into their shared apartment one Wednesday afternoon to find it devoid of any hint of Bradley, Jake broke. No note, no toothbrush, not even some of his toothpaste was left. He couldn’t focus, breathing now felt like a knife scraping his lungs. Where before everything was bright and happy with Bradley around, Jake could now only see haunting images and muted colors.
