Dorian Blues Page #7

Because I didn't want

to be with you any more.

Could you be more specific,

I'm trying to grow from this.

I don't know Dorian, it

just didn't take off.

I don't know, I'm not

an expert in love.

I don't analyze

everything like you do...

...and I don't want to hurt you,

but really, know it, it's over.

I'm never gonna change

my mind on that.

It's done, we're done.

H istory, over, finished.

Did you need more time

to think about this?

Jesus.

Just know that I am here

if you ever need to talk...

...or not.

Your call, no pressure.

It was really over,

and I couldn't deal.

I started walking the

streets, began to drink...

...the depression I'd always

lived with went clinical...

...til all I saw in this

city were the seams.

In fact, I became

a seam myself.

I clung to the hope Ben's

fear of being alone...

...would drive him back

to me by default.

But even that was shattered

when Elle got some inside info.

Ben is not alone he's

with someone else.

What?

I just wanted to crawl into

bed for the entire weekend.

But the gods were not

through with me yet.

- Ben your brother's a piss.

- What do you mean?

Oh, man, he's funny as hell.

Hey, I had to let him in.

I didn't want him sitting

out in the hall with his bag.

Wait.

What day is this?

Friday, the 21 st.

No, no, no.

No, no, no.

I can't do this.

I can't have him here now.

Just drink some coffee.

You'll be fine.

Hey Dor!

What a city.

Man, I can't believe how

tall those buildings are.

They're so freakin tall.

Whew!

You know, I don't feel much

like going to a movie tonight.

What do you want

to do instead?

- Go out.

- That's cool.

One of my bars, OK?

- You mean like, to a gay bar?

- Yeah.

- No.

- Why not?

I'm not going to

a gay bar, Dorian.

Come on, you said you

came to see my life.

Not your gay life, I meant like

the school cafeteria and sh*t.

Why do you do that?

Why do you call

it "my gay life"?

This is my life and this is

what I do on the weekend...

I go to a gay bar.

And this is my favorite

one, it's a wonderful place...

...great people.

I don't care if it's

the Tajma-freakin-hall...

I didn't drive six hours to

come and see you just to...

Oh Jesus. Please,

I'm not feeling well...

...and I really need to

be with some friends.

- And Ellie's gonna be there.

- Ellie?

Yeah, my friend Ellie

that I wrote you about.

So there are

girls at this bar.

Lesbian girls, N ick.

- Forget it then.

- U nbelieveable.

Hey N ick.

You know what they

got there at this bar?

- That football throwing game.

- What throwing game?

The one where you

throw the footballs...

...at the moving targets for points.

Quarterback Red

Zone Challenge?

- That's it.

- They got that at a gay bar?

- Are you any good at it?

- Shut up.

Because some of these

guys are excellent.

You mean, some

of the gay guys.

- They play for money.

- Money?

But really,

they're very good.

Oh I'm sure.

Oh yeah, scored another one.

Get ready.

## And my, your so pretty for

a girl that looks so angry, ##

## and I am such a pretty

little girl, tell me... ##

## do I make you uncomfortable? ##

## Do I make you uncomfortable? ##

## Do I make you I make

you uncomfortable? ##

## Well, I'm tryin. ##

Thanks.

What's the matter N ick?

Did they score more than you?

- Shut up.

- Hey boys!

Hey Ellie's here.

Nicky this is Ellie.

Hey, N ick.

I've heard a lot about you.

I've heard a lot

about you too.

Oh, what?

Are you going to sulk now?

Then here, go get us drinks.

Elle takes anything

dark in a bottle.

Me, kill the club soda,

I'll take a non-alcoholic.

- He's adorable.

- Yeah.

- So how you doing after today?

- Surprisingly all right.

Listen, I gotta talk

to you about something.

Yeah, OK, but listen I want

you to do a favor...

...for me tonight, OK?

I want you to help me to

show my hot shot brother...

...how popular I am.

- Popular?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, I'm popular.

- Yes, you are.

And he's never seen

that, you know...

...so I want you to keep

your eyes peeled out...

...for anybody we know, call

them over, whoop it up...

...and help me show N icky that

I'm hot sh*t down here.

I will do that but I've

got to talk to you...

...about something else first.

Something I was trying to

tell you earlier at the pub.

Is this about your

Psych professor?

No.

- Here you go Ellie.

- Thanks.

What do you say, one more

drink and they're out of here?

What?

We just got here.

And you've been playing that

game and Elle just got here.

Come on, Dor, I came

down to see the city.

We've got a whole

weekend to see the city.

Tonight I just wanted

us to hang out.

It's no fun for me

hanging out here.

Oh give it a chance,

will you?

Think it was all fun for me

visiting you at Syracuse...

...sitting through three

hours of football practice?

It wasn't all bad, you got to

go in the locker room after.

Look, I know you feel awkward

not knowing anybody here.

You know.

You're not used to that,

the great N ick Legatis.

No, I'm not.

But I know people here

and this is my turf...

...and if your with me then

we're gonna have fun.

Nicholas Legatis.

Oh man, this is

unbelieveable.

The great Nick Legatis.

Hey, Buffer Jones.

Man, I haven't seen you

since QB camp in Pittsburgh.

Hey, this is my brother,

Dorian and his friend, Ellie.

H i, how you doing?

Buffer Jones,

plays for L state.

Rugger, we got another

Division 1 here.

- Penn State.

- What's up, man.

- Hey, come and have a beer with us.

- Sure.

Can you believe this, I can't

even make a bigger splash...

...than him in my own

neighborhood gay bar.

It's just as well,

listen, Ben's here.

What, my Ben?

No, he doesn't come here.

Yeah, well, his new partner

does and they're both here...

...and they both want

to talk to you.

What, but... what?

Listen, I was supposed to get

you up to speed on the whole thing...

...but I couldn't

get it out earlier...

- You were so hurt.

- What whole thing?

- On what's been going on.

- And what is going on?

Hello, Dorian.

Dorian.

No.

No way.

You didn't tell him, did you?

Almost, listen honey,

I'm so sorry I swear to God...

I was trying to tell you earlier.

You don't have to do this but

whenever you're ready...

...with me and Ben and Andrew,

we all love you.

No, no that's great,

and let's do it now.

- Are you sure?

- Positive.

Really, Elle, it's cool.

First of all,

I'd like to say that I...

No, first of all...

...whatever this is,

you're not running it.

Drew.

We just weren't right

for each other, Dor.

And hey, I honestly

think you're better off.

Seriously.

I mean I'd bore you after

awhile, you know I would.

I'm just not... intellectually

curious like you are.

All I want out of life is to work

for my father's firm and play.

And you want to, you know...

better yourself.

And Andrew's more like me.

You don't want to

better yourself?

I really don't.

So you're saying is that

I'm better off alone.

No, with someone else.
