    "Glad to see you've come
to your senses. I was dreading Rich coming home seeing the man you
turned into. No honor in the way you've been acting, your boy don't
need to see that." Petey looks at me and I can see the
disappointment in his eyes. Fuck.
    I look away. "I moved back
home last night Petey. I need to find a way to keep
Kate."
    He scoffs, "didn't think
you ever wanted her."
    "Fuck Petey. I know I
fucked up, but I care about her." I still can't look at him so I
fiddle with the plug wires he just pulled out.
    "You got a funny way of
showing it Brother. Seems you only cared when someone else picked
up what you dropped. You sure it's Kate you care about and not that
you may have to share her?" He says low.
    "Yeah I'm sure. I always
knew I would end up with her. I just fucked it up thinking she
would wait." Fuck I'm such a selfish dick. I deserve all the shit
I'm going to get from the Brothers. How long did I think she'd wait
for me to finish fuckin anything with a pussy? I've been fucking
around for two years, seeing Kate for more than half of
that.
    "I'm thinking you need to
let her decide what she wants to give you right now. Jared is a
Brother. He's waited just as long as Kate did. Always treated his
old lady right. Never touched a whore while she was alive. Kate's
not wrong giving him a shot. He's a good man." What the fuck? Am I
the only one that didn't know fuckin Jared is waiting to snatch her
up?
    "I'm not?" I growl at him.
What the fuck?
    "Use to be." He looks
right at me.
    I turn around and walk
out. Fuck! What the fuck happened to Brothers having my back? 'Use
to be' a good man, no fuckin judgment there. I used to be the
number two fuckin soldier. Now I’m the douche that dated Kate so I
get nothing from my Brothers?
    I hit the R&R. Rob is
behind the bar helping out the Prospect. Just what I fuckin need,
should have gone to The Plank.
    "Danny, what can I get
you?" He looks resigned. Fuckin great.
    "Shot of jack, thanks." I
turn and look around. Thank fuck there are no brothers
here.
    "Didn't think it was my
place to call you yesterday. I hope you understand."
    Fuck. I look back at him.
Every fuckin bit of this is my own fault. "Wasn't you're place to
call me. You did the right thing." He gives me chin. "I got to
figure out how to get her back." I say almost to myself.
    "Danny you were a good man
when she fell for you. Get back to that guy, she'll be there
again." He isn't harsh with his words, they sting more because if
it.
    Fuck, everyone really does
thinks I'm a fuckin douche. I was a good man, he's right, my son
and sister looked at me with love, with respect. Today Jess and
Petey looked at me disgusted. I slide the shot back to him and
throw a twenty on the bar. "Now's a good time to start." I turn to
leave.
    "That's the fuckin Danny I
know. Good luck Brother." I throw a wave over my
shoulder.
    Heading home I swing by
Kate's, Jess' suv is still there. I keep going. I need to talk to
her but I don't need an audience or another fuckin lecture today.
I'll call her later. I know I deserve the shit that's thrown at me
but not tonight.
    It's almost ten. I call
with my heart beating double time when she picks up. "Kate, please
don't hang up."
    "I wasn't going to." She
doesn't sound pissed.
    "K, I use to be a guy
people looked up to. I fucked that up in the worst way. I was a
selfish bastard, I'm ashamed of the way I acted and treated you. I
never cheated on my ex; once I was free I acted like a fuckin dick.
I don't want to lose you and I know I've got no right to ask." I
take a deep breath. "Can you give me some time to get my life back
in order, us back in order? Get back to the guy people liked having
around, someone you can be proud of." I let out the breath and
wait.
    She hesitates, fuck, I did
this to my beautiful Kate, put this doubt in her. "There are some
things we need to talk about that have to do with me, not you." She
pauses. "I think I'd like to see the old Danny while I'm
