บท 27: Chapter 27

??You don??t want to be dancing to his tune all the time. I know you??re not the sort to make a fuss, but if he knows he can walk all over you. Well, you know, you don??t want another one like Cal.??

Kevin knew his friend only had his best interests at heart, but he wished Peter wouldn??t interfere so much. No, that was unfair. Peter had helped him get over Cal, he knew he??d never have done it without him.

??Joey isn??t like Cal. He??s told me, and shown me often enough that he isn??t.??

??Well, okay, then.?? Peter didn??t sound convinced. ??You know I??m here, love, if you need me. Please, mate, don??t give the bloke the power to hurt you.??

It??s gone way beyond that, Kevin thought sadly. ??I know, and thanks. But honestly I??m okay. I wanna stick around here for when he comes round. He said we??d grab a bite to eat.??

??Don??t you think it??s all happening a bit soon? I don??t want you to get hurt.??
