Another Lifetime

Chapter 18

DeAnna Kastell

Someone was knocking loudly on my bedroom door. "Fuck off," I muttered, lying face down alone in my bed.

"Dea! I will break down the door!" Jessie warned and X sat up from the floor, where he'd ended up after trying to be the big spoon when he clearly needed to be the little spoon in this situation.

"She's your best friend," he justified and I groaned, climbing out of bed as he climbed back in.

I opened my door and walked out of my room, shutting the door behind me. "How did you get in?" I asked her since I'd never given her a key.

"Frank gave me a key because I asked nicely," she said and followed me down to the kitchen.

"Why is your dress on the stairs?" She asked me.

"Guess," I said sarcastically as I got three bowls from the cupboard.

"So there's a Griffin in your bed?" She guessed and pulled out the cereal from the kitchen island shelves.

"Yes but he did sleep on the floor because he tried to be big spoon when he has always been the little spoon after sex," I told her whilst getting the milk and she poured the cereal into the bowls.

"X! Breakfast!" I called up the stairs and picked up my computer from the stairs, taking it back into the kitchen with me.

"That looks military grade," Jessie said as I logged in and make X's GPS location travel from the halfway house towards my home.

"It's mostly commercial stuff, just some of it is military grade tech that KTS got hold of and I liberated from them," I told her and I opened up Brian's Facebook page, on his account as well as his insta, twitter, snapchat and apparently his tinder. He had been using dating apps whilst we were dating and he was screwing around with more than just Sarah.

I turned it towards her, "let rip please, Jezebel," I ordered and she got a smirk then cracked her knuckles.

"What is she doing?" X asked as he walked in, buckling up his belt in a fresh pair of jeans.

"Going to town on Brian's social media," Jessie said, like it had been totally obvious, and he picked up a bowl of cereal. "Douche is going to regret fucking around behind my best friend's back," she muttered to herself with an evil laugh. "Was that too evil?" She asked us.

"Not enough," X told her, "go full on hardcore as long as it doesn't get Dea caught for hacking him," he added and I was happily eating my cereal, knowing Brian wouldn't even think of me as a hacker.

"Don't worry, I'll just tell him Adrien got us his passwords," Jessie said, mostly focusing on messing up Brian's social media presence.

"I'll call him now to see if he'll cover for us," I said and grabbed my phone from my jacket pocket, hanging off the back of a chair on the island.

I rang him immediately, "so Brian slept in the garage," Adrien told me and I appreciated the fact that he was taking a fellow addict's side over his cheating brother's.

"If he asks how we fucked up his social media, you gave us his passwords," I informed him and waited for him to question it.

He didn't say anything for about a minute, "who have you let loose on his Facebook?" He asked me and I put the call on speaker.

"I let Jessie do her worst," I said, "why?" I asked, looking at her and she got all coy with cheeky little smile.

"Because she's an absolute beast of life wrecker," he said and she got all smug, and proud of her skills.
