Demons without Desire

Brotherly Advice

 A few days later

Zak pov.

I was tired..

My body felt 3 times the age it was suppose to be as I drove across town, the lockdown in Virginia city had been a good one. I mean a seriously good one with evidence not even a scientist could question. It was credible evidence that would turn a sceptic into a believer and that is what I set out to do..

To prove to people there is life after death and to find answers.

Receiving Kaylee's text the other day I had hope that we could sort things out between us.. She was an amazing girl, I was just stupid not to be honest with her. I should have known better to lie as I knew what that also felt like.

Pulling up outside I rubbed my face before getting out and making my way up to her apartment, luck was on my side when a woman out, I slipped in after her giving her a thank you and made my way up the flight of stairs.

Fixing my shirt and hair quickly in the window I lifted my hand to knock when I heard a loud moan. Stopping I looked around and even leant over the stair well to make sure nobody was hurt or laying somewhere.

The moan came again..

And again and then again.

Then I realised what was actually happening.. Someone was getting it on.

"Fuck yes! Yes! Harder! Oh my god!" The muffled voice moaned.

I looked at the doors on the level and stepped closer to Kaylee's. It was her!

Anger filled my body hearing her going at it with some man. I felt sick and stormed away from the door before flying back to it with all intentions of having it out with her about honesty when she clearly had someone else lined up to take my place.

"Fuck this and fuck you!" I spat at the door before walking down the steps and out the apartment.

I climbed back into my car and slammed the door shut punching at the steering wheel.

"FUCK!" I yelled at myself in anger. Shoving the keys in the ignition I looked up at her window to see some scrawny looking dude opening the window. I wanted to punch him into next week but held back my anger and drove off down into Vegas.

"Why would she text me when she clearly didn't give a fuck?!" I yelled at myself.

I planned to go out and do exact what she was doing to some meaningless woman but I ended up at Aarons moaning to him about it all.

"Dude, you either gotta speak to her or let her go."

"How can I speak to her when she has some other mans cock down her throat?!" I raged.

He shook his head and rubbed his temples, "I'm sorry for shouting.. It's just.. Dude I like her, I really do b-"

"Then why didn't you tell her bro? I had no idea."

My head snapped in his direction "You.. It was you who told her?" I asked Aaron.

He nodded guiltily "I'm sorry bro I thought she knew. "

I wanted to be angry at him but I simply couldn't be. Instead I dropped my forehead against his table and groaned loudly into it.

"It's my fault." I moaned sitting up.

"If I knew, you'd know I'd have your back right?" Aaron asked sipping his coffee. I nodded and looked at the text she sent me.

"She seemed... I don't know agitated as if I had been ignoring her text or calls."

"Did you send that text?" He asked.

I shook my head "I deleted it. She knows I'm sorry. It won't make any difference no matter how many times I say it. I lied to her bro, her ex was a complete bastard and I reminded her of him. I guess you can say we are pretty much done for."

He looked beaten, it wasn't even happening to him so I couldn't imagine how I looked!

"And let me guess.. You thought about finding yourself a hook up?" Aaron guessed.

I kept my mouth sealed making him shake his head. "So she can go out and do it but I can't?!" I fired.

"Bro! You want her, she wants you!"

"I'm pretty sure she wants that douche in her apartment from all the noise she was making!"

"She is hurting-"

"Only from his dick!"

"Zak! Just shut up and listen! You are hurting and so is she. So she has gone out and got laid, you were thinking about it as well. We all do shit to hurt each other, because we care about each other so much. If you like her dude then you got to fight for her."

I shook my head looking away.

"Then she is better off with that douche in her apartment."

I glared at Aaron who folded his arms "She needs a man who's gonna fight and look after her. You're clearly not going to be that guy." He shrugged.

"I hate you sometimes." I muttered which only caused Aaron to smile.

"It's cause you know I'm right. Just get your head sorted and get around to her place. If you want her Zak then pull your head out your ass. She's strong minded and a clever girl. Not some hooker from the strip you can hit a few times before ditching. Kaylee's a good girl."

I scoffed shaking my head "So good she has someone else.."

"Don't make me repeat myself." He sighed.

"How are you feeling anyway?" I asked looking at the bags around his eyes.

"I feel like satan ate me, chewed me up and shat me out... To be honest."

"Oh.." I replied looking down at my green tea.

The lockdown had been hard on all of us, in fact on the way home we all had a bust up in the car and we ended up pulling over. It started over my foul mood, and why did I have that foul mood? Cause of Kaylee...
