Obsession

Chapter 21

Kerrys POV:

I feel like I'm betraying the girls, and Jino, but I have to do what I'm about to do. I know it's crazy because he broke my heart, but I have to see him again. After he broke down in my arms the last time I saw him, I promised to meet back up with him because he said he had an explanation for everything: for dumping me, treating me like shit and then disappearing without a trace. I deserve an explanation after everything he put me through. The girls will understand... I think.

I jump into the car and drive towards the beach. As I park up in front of the beach, I see a figure with his back to me in the distance and instantly I know it's him.

I pull out my phone and send him a message.

Kerrys:

Here

He turns around slowly and searches for my car. He starts walking towards the car and after a few moments, he gets in and pulls his hood down. I see his eyes are bloodshot and that shocks me. We sit in silence, as I don't want to rush him, but I start getting impatient.

'Angel...' I start. He shakes his head. 'You said you were going to explain.'

'Alright.' He grunts, running his hands through his hair, to the point where I feel like he's going to pull his hair out.

'Angel, stop.' I pull his hands away. 'Just tell me what's going on. Tell me what's happened.'

'I take pills.' He blurts out.

'What do you mean pills?' I laugh nervously.

'Pills. You know, meds.'

'So, you're taking drugs?' I ask.

'No, no. It's not like that. You're not getting it.' He says frustrated.

'Getting what?' I ask.

'I have C-PTSD.' He replies.

'C-PTSD?' I'm confused.

'Complex post traumatic stress disorder.' He clarifies.

'Wh-what is that?'

'I've been through a lot in my life. I've seen a lot, done a lot. It's all stuck in here.' He says, looking down at his hands. 'I didn't mean to do the stuff I did. I didn't want to do it but I had to. No wait! I felt like I had to do them. It was him. It was all him.'

'Who? Kree?'

'No... my other brother.'

Sage POV

The girls have all gone and I'm sat watching The Vampire Diaries (TVD) for the millionth time. Stefan, Damon, Elena, it's just so ugh. I'm home alone for the first time in weeks. I pause TVD and run downstairs to grab my Ben & Jerry's Peanut Butter cookie dough ice cream. As I'm about to put the first scoop into my mouth, the door knocks.

'Ugh, who the fuck is that now?' I whisper. Pissed that I've been interrupted, I open the door without checking who it is.

I'm startled. Micah is stood in from of me. 'Are you gonna let me in or what?' He barges past me.

'Okay... just walk right in why don't you.' I close the door and walk past him back to the kitchen. I pick my spoon back up and put it in my mouth, licking it and maintaining eye contact.

I wait for him to speak first because it's not going to be me this time. He's a dick. A sexy dick, but a dick nonetheless.

'Firstly, don't do that. You know what that does to me.'
