Limits. (Zak Bagans Fan Fic)

A Little Time.

Aaron's POV

2am. Phone rang.

I groaned as my phone lit up like a firework. I threw my hand over to my phone and answered it. 'What!'

'Ron-- what? Okay I'm there!'

It was Roni, I rushed myself to get dressed and left my house. I shook my head as what she wanted, it has been a month and no one even Zak hadn't heard from her. I used to get emotional and angry but with time I've learnt that Roni disappears without a trace but eventually, she'll come back.

She asked me to meet her at our local organic fruit market, it was low key and the car park would be empty so she'd know if I was to bring anyone. I was absolutely nervous to see her, was she okay? Was she scared? What was going on in her little world, and most importantly why did she leave?

Zak was a mess. Full stop, every ping his phone made he'd race to see if it was her. He hadn't slept, we all hadn't slept. Some night I'd be over at Zak's while I watch him destroy himself, I honestly thought Zak would destroy Roni but clearly I was wrong. Lucky for Zak, Ghost Adventures was on a break and he could have this time to panic about Roni and be completely involved in finding her. As for me, it was hard seeing Zak break every day seeing him destroy himself.

I was seated in my car and tapping the steering wheel constantly as I wasn anxious as fuck. I don't know what news she was bringing, I just hope it was good news. For Vegas to be surrounded by bright light, this part of town was dark and spooky. I snuggled back in my seat and continued to wait for Roni.

"Boo!" She slammed the front of my car and cackled at the sight of me nearly having a heart attack. "Sorry." She opened the door and let herself in.

"Fuck me dead Roni!" I screamed. I didn't even take a good look at her, I was nearly in tears.

"I said sorry" she patted my shoulder. "Hey" she whispered, the tone of her voice I knew tears were coming down.

"Roni. Where have yo--" and then I looked at her. Her dark red hair was gone, she lost weight and not good 'losing' weight she was too little and looked sick. "Roni?" I gasped.

"I'm sorry." She bit back her lip as her lip quivered.

"Where have you been? Zak's been worried sick!" I shouldn't have screamed at her but she needed to know how angry I was.

"You didn't care where I was?" She rolled her eyes and scoffed.

"I did-- I do but Zak. Man, you fucked him up. So why are you back?" I locked the doors, she was upset so there was a chance of her running.

"I-I've come hom--" I stopped her.

"Home!" I laughed then scoffed. "You don't know the definition of home. You're never in a place too long to call anything home." I knew I was harsh but I couldn't express myself any other way.

"Helen had cancer." She mumbled.

"And how you 'had' canc---" then I realised that Helen had travelled back to Seattle. "Shit. Roni." I tried to pull her in for a hug but she stopped me.

"I had to help her, you only get one mother in life and I had to help her. She died three days ago, I had to help her." She pleaded into her hands. "I-I had to help but she died!" She screamed into her hands.

"Roni come here" I demanded and she eased up allowing me to pull her in. "I'm sorry."

"Home is here Aaron. In your arms, I'm so sorry but I had to do these things. I want to come back but" she gasped. "You can't tell anyone."

I frowned. "Why?"

"I need to get my shit right, I need to get my head right." She held clasped her head in her hands. "I need to sleep."

Without a thought I turned on my car and headed home, I probably seem like a push over but Roni will always hold something over me. She liked to handle things alone but she needs to learn that people are willing to help. "What about Zak?"

"He probably doesn't wanna see me and I couldn't face him. I'm a horrible person, he deserves someone better." She shrugged it off.

"The dreams? The voices?" I asked her.

"Voices are still there. I don't know what they mean and as for the dreams, I don't sleep Aaron. Haven't been able to sleep since I was last with--" she choked on her words. She bent her head down and cried again. "Zak. Fuck I'm a horrible person. When will the shitty life end!" She squealed causing me to jumped.

"Roni!" I nudged her hard, she glared at me but I brushed it off. "We will get this shit straight and you WILL speak to Zak. You're right he deserves better but he does deserve a reason as to why you left, never called for a duration of 31 days." I smirked at her face as she knew I was right, she snarled her nose and looked in the other direction.

"I say when we tell him. Give me them Aaron." She begged and as always I agreed.
