Re: Escaping the Bathroom
Joey Allerdyce simply stares after Rose as she leaves, unable to speak. After all the things they'd been through, all the special times they'd shared together, she'd just walked out on him without batting an eyelash.

Was she sleeping with someone else? Joey couldn't even believe he was thinking that. No, she wouldn't do that to him. Rose didn't have it in her to lie.

Then again, she'd been lying to him for nearly a year, hadn't she? She'd just done to him what he'd done to hundreds of other women over the last few years. Make them feel worth something, make them feel like they were the only person in the world you could be with...and then vanish with everything they had.

The last time he'd felt this lost and hurt was the day Aunt Jenna died.

"I should've left the first chance I got. Should've walked away before I..." Joey can finally start to feel the fire come back to him.

"Never again. I ain't lettin' this happen to me never, ever again." Joey says, heading for the back door.

He heads out into the night, leaving the car in the parking lot. They can come get it later.

He's never going back.
