Demons without Desire

He's found out...

A few days later..

I woke with a door slamming, opening my eyes I found Zak standing beside the bed glaring at me. "What have I done now?" I groaned.

"What the fuck happened in Iowa?" He snapped.

I rubbed my eyes and rolled onto my back, letting out a yawn I blinked "You had a moment at the man-"

"To you! What happened to you?!"

I frowned "Huh?"

"The fucking video on my laptop Kaylee! Don't play dumb!" He shouted.

Oh....

I sat up and looked at him as he began pacing the room "Did he touch you?!"

"What?" I asked confused.

"DID HE TOUCH YOU?!" He yelled.

I clamped my mouth closed and cocked my head slightly "Do not.. Shout at me."

"I swe- Did he fucking touch you?" He growled.

"No! Because nobody was there." I answered.

"You saw a man. Yes?" Zak asked impatiently.

"Yes."

"You thought it was me."

"Yes."

"And it didn't touch you?" He asked again.

"No. Zak calm down.."

He laughed "Calm down.. Calm down she says. I told yo- " He paused clenching his fists and growling at himself before his pacing got faster.

"I told you they were asking for you! You told me no! You made me think it was Ash or that interview.. It was you wasn't it?! They wanted you?!"

I shrugged, I honestly didn' t know. I'm not tapped into Ghost radio how the hell should I know.

"I don't know nor care." I answered feeling the tiredness leaving my body. "I deleted the video anyway, so why have you watched it.. How have you watched it?" I asked.

"iCloud... It stored onto my computer. It said about storage being almost full so I thought, I know. I'll just do that before Billy comes over and reviews evidence and I find that on there?!"

Bloody technology.

"Stop shouting, I'll get a headache." I complained rubbing my forehead.

"Headache? Headache? You should have told me about the bloody figure at the hotel but no! You didn't because you're a flaming idiot!"

"Don't you dare take that tone with me!" I fired back. I was tired, he was shouting anf now I was pissed.

"Are you out of your fucking mind?! After everything you've been through and you don't think to tell me a strange manly figure you thought was me was in the fucking room with you?! are you forgetting it has already took the form of me to get to you! You stupid bitch!"

"GET OUT!" I yelled at him throwing my bottle of water at him.

 "IT'S MY HOUSE!"

I flew off the bed and shoved him out the bedroom before slamming the door in his face and locking it. I jumped back at the sounds of his fists hitting the door as he shouted at me to open it.

"GO AWAY!" I cried grabbing my clothes.

His house.. He can have his stupidly nice looking house! You don't speak to me like that! I shoved a chair under the door handle and went into the bathroom. Taking a shower, I scrubbed my body hard and got out changing just as harshly. I pulled on my clothes and stomped back into the bedroom looking for a holdall to put my clothes in.

I found one in the wardrobe and threw what clothes I had inside along with all my wash stuff. My breathing was harsh and I eventually fell onto the bed crying, his stupid attitude and shouting. He called me stupid and a bitch.

I cried for a while trying to work out what I was suppose to do now. Do I go home? Do I stay here? Was this what he was like after a lockdown?

"Kaylee I'm sorry.. Open the door." He spoke through the door.

"No. I don't want to see you right now." I replied.

"Please, Kaylee I'm sorry okay? I didn't mean to call you a bitch or shout at yo-"

"Then why did you?! You know I never said anything because I wanted to look after you for a change! I wanted to be the one you leaned on for once! So I didn't utter a word, and look what happens! I'm glad I didn't say anything!" I shouted through the door at him.

"Open the door.."

"Go. Away."

"Please sweetie?" He asked.

I shook my head and eventually removed the chair and opened the door to a sorry looking Zak.  "I don't know why you think shouting at me is a good idea? I told you not to shout at me.." I mumbled as his thumb wiped the tears on my cheek.

"I'm sorry sweetie. I- I just seen that video and everything came back to me.. I couldn't bare you returning back into that shell of yours.. I need you out here with me." He whispered.

"Then talk to me. Don't shout at me. Or call me names. I was going to tell you, just after everything was done, I didn't know when the right time was specifically, maybe when all the reviewing of evidence was done.. I don't know but I would have told you." I responded.

"I know you would have.. I'm sorry."

"I accept your apology." I mumbled.

I grabbed his shirt across his tummy and pulled him into me as I stepped into him. We bumped together leaving his arms to wrap around my body and hold me against him.

"Do I need cleansing again?" I asked quietly.

He sighed "I- I don't know. But maybe tomorrow we can do it here? Just to be safe what do you think?"

I nodded "I'd like that."

"Good." His lips pressed against my forehead gently.

Maybe I was in the wrong for not telling him sooner but no good ever came of shouting at each other, I knew that much.
