Give Me A Sign

Alex and I were in the front lounge when Nyssa and Jack came back. I was sitting the corner seat of the couch while Alex laid his head in my lap while I stroked his hair as he napped soundly. I was so worried about him now. I watched him hit his lowest point. But I was strong for him and I will stay strong for him, as long as I can help him heal.
“How is he,” Jack asked quietly.
“He’s still shaken up by everything that happened. Hopefully his nap will help him,” I replied, this time with the old tone in my voice I had before everything started to fall apart. Maybe Alex breaking down was what we needed as a master reset on everything to we can have a clean start again. I know for a fact that I’m taking him out for some fun when we get into Detroit. I’m taking him to a baseball game.
When the bus finally pulled up to the Fillmore and I got to step off and stretch my legs, I felt like I was truly at home again.
“I grew up coming out to venues like these when I was a kid. I’ve seen some awesome acts in my lifetime while I lived up here,” I sighed with contentment, which was a first in a long time.
“So how far away do your parents live anyway,” Alex asked. He seemed better today, but I knew he was still pretty messed up after what happened.
“I grew up in New Baltimore. It’s like an hour or two outside of Detroit to the north a bit,” I told him.
“I find it ironic that you grew up in New Baltimore, Michigan and I’m from Baltimore, Maryland,” he smirked but it fell as quickly as it formed.
“I’m still not taking you to meet my parents. We’ve been through a lot of crap the last few weeks. I’m taking you out to get away from the all this heartbreak and stress,” I told him.
“Where are we going,” he asked.
“Across the street to cheer on my home town team. Nyssa and Jack are tagging along with Bryan, Tony, Jaime, Mike, and the PTV tour manager. I think a day at the ball park is the perfect cure for all of these sad days,” I told him.
“As long as I can wear my Orioles hat and I get to be with you, I’m happy,” he smiled weakly.
“You better make sure to cheer on my Tigers though and not those shitty Twins,” I told him.
“I’m always on your side until it’s Tigers against Orioles,” he smiled a little brighter before pulling me in for a kiss.

I’m really proud of Bonnie. She’s been fighting everything back to help me be stronger. I think she was right, my attack made things shift so we could be stronger than ever. Maybe going to see the Tigers play this afternoon will lift our spirits and fuel the fire to bury down everything that haunts our minds.
I was waiting on the bus with Jack for Bonnie to finish getting ready with Nyssa. When Bonnie finally got on the bus to grab us for the game, my jaw dropped. Bonnie wore a Tigers tank top that showed off an orange bikini top underneath, a pair of acid washed destroyed skinny jeans, grey TOMs, and a Tiger snapback. Around her neck was a pendant with a map of the “thumb” by Detroit. She looked smoking hot. I completely forgot about all of my problems when I saw her looking so amazing.
“Ready to go watch the game, lover boy,” Bonnie teased.
“Hell yeah,” I jumped off the couch and followed her off the bus.
When we got across the street, Bonnie asked Jaime to take a couple pictures with her phone of us by the tiger statue outside the stadium. Most of the poses were of me holding Bonnie o me by her shoulders with my chin resting on her head. Others were of us kissing each other on the cheeks or lips. I then posed with all the guys for Adam so we could put it up on twitter. I wasn’t going to let Adam get pictures of me and Bonnie together until we were ready to go public with our fans on a large scale.

I knew taking him out to see a ball game would lift his spirits. Alex was having lots of fun. Most of the time he smiled at me as I got mad at my team for letting guys get on base or missing plays. But he cheered with me when we scored. Even though we lost 5-2, I still had a lot of fun having a couple sips of Alex’s beers he ordered throughout the game and just being with him on a nice day to forget about all the pain we’ve been through.
“Did you have fun,” I asked him as we walked back across the street after the game.
“I had a blast actually. Too bad your team lost today,” he smiled warmly, a first in a long time.
“I’m glad you had fun. That’s all I wanted to happen today. We needed an escape,” I smiled brightly for the first time in a long time, seeing a light in his eyes that I thought had gone into hiding for a while.
“Thank you, Bonnie, for being so strong for me and getting me away from it all, I really needed this. I love you so much,” Alex picked me up in his arms and I wrapped my legs around his waist.
“I love you too,” I kissed him passionately.
I’m hoping that we can stay happy like this. I miss these moments all the time and I was glad the show in mine and Danny’s home state was a part of making us happy again. We needed this escape from everything to heal. And I wasn’t going to stop fighting. I have to help Alex and he’s going to help me. Just like how Jack is helping Nyssa.
“How is he,” Jack asked quietly.
