What the FUCK?
I didn't know what to do. I was scared and confused. I ran away from the loft because I didn't want to be involved in this situation. I needed someone to talk to. I figured Kevin was my only option so I looked for him when I got to the set and explained what happened. He was shocked.
"Is he dead?" he asked.
"I don't know. He didn't look like he was breathing but I just left."
"Damn...this is crucial."
We decided to keep this little secret to ourselves and check out the loft again after our scenes. We made it to the loft about three hours later where we were met by Tony's wife. She was NOT happy to see us.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" she asked.
"Uhhh we just came to check on Tony," Kevin said.
"Tony? FUCK Tony!" she said.
"What is that supposed to mean?" I snapped. I wanted to knock the bitch out but I held my composure.
"You think I don't know about what he was doing? You think I don't know about you? I sat around all these years and watched this shit happen right in front of my face...well Tony got what he deserved!"
She shoved us out of the loft and slammed the door in our face. I understand why she was angry, but she didn't have to kill her husband. I figured I would forget about this situation and move on with my life. Kevin and I decided to move to Atlanta and start a new life together. I enrolled at Clark Atlanta University to get a degree in finance. I paid for my classes with the money that I made doing films. Kevin already had a degree in engineering and started working for a major firm. I asked him why he was doing porn if he had an education. He told me he liked the THRILL...
I thought this situation was behind me until I got a phone call about six months after moving to ATL. It was Lonnie.
"I need to tell you something," he said. He sounded very disturbed.
"How did you get my number?"
I left the world of pornography in New York and lost contact with everyone.
"That's not important...we REALLY need to talk and we can't do it over the phone. It's about Tony and you can't tell Kevin about this."
Tony...I thought he was behind me. Lonnie was in ATL and I agreed to meet with him.
"They found a video," he said.
"What the fuck are you talking about?" I was confused and I really didn't feel like dealing with any bullshit.
"Tony's wife didn't kill him. They found a videotape."
"Who would be stupid enough to kill somebody on camera? Get the fuck outta here..." I was about to get up.
"I'm SERIOUS!"
Lonnie told me that the videotape should a fight between two men. One of them was Tony but they couldn't tell who the other person was. They thought it was either me or Kevin. I was shocked...I didn't know what to think. It OBVIOUSLY wasn't me so it had to be Kevin. I was living with a killer. How did he get away with it? I'm sure the police would be looking for us so I had to run.
I went home to confront Kevin and try to come up with a solution to this problem but when I got home he wasn't there. I found a note:
Marcus,
I love you but I've been hiding a secret. I'm not who you think I am...I have done some bad things in my life and I have to make things right. I don't want you to be dragged into this. Here's a little something for you.
At that moment I knew it was true...Kevin KILLED Tony. I was in love with a killer.
***5 YEARS LATER***
Kevin is serving a life sentence for Tony's murder. Apparently Kevin was in love with Tony AND Marcus and couldn't deal with the lifestyle.
Marcus graduated from CAU with a degree in Finance. He is working on his MBA.
Tony's wife remarried a lawyer and moved to Chicago. She has two kids.
Lonnie is married and has a son.

I'm not a literaty critic or anything, but this story is amazing. You painted a clear picture and I loved the way you told it. I think what I liked the most was that the protagonist didn't need to have a man in the end to validate who he was or find happiness. He did it through education and to me that was a great thing. I can't wait for more.
