Forsaken

Aaron's Muse.

"Look at me." Aaron demanded. My eyes shifted to him as he stood at the end of the table looking directly at Zak who slowly turned his eyes away from Maria to look at his best friend and colleague.

"Aaron come o-"

"No!" He snapped interrupting me. I lifted my brow disapprovingly but decided to close my mouth and to let him have his opinion, after all. Everyone was entitled to one.

"I am begging you here bro. When have I ever asked you for anything?" He questioned Zak. "But I'm here begging you, please don't bring these two in on this."

I looked to Zak who was already mulling over his decision in not only letting me and Maria stay with them tonight, but also take part in the investigation itself...

"Don't I get a say?" I asked.

"No." Aaron repeated making me growl in my seat.

"All you have done is bust my balls Aaron, gimme a damn break."

I tensed as Aarons hand slammed down on the table. "I will when you stop using the two people I love and care about as fucking bait! It's like you don't even care about Maria!"

Zak blinked once revealing the anger in his eyes "Do not question my love for her.. Don't you fucking dare Aaron."

Feeling the tension racket up I decided now was as good as time as any to step in. "Okay enough. Both of you enough. Look at you both? Arguing about a demon infested investigation still trying to act like this hasn't effected both of you!"

Zak shifted his gaze to me before looking back at Aaron "I'm not an expert, I haven't done this before or understand how the Paranormal works but I know you take in bad energy, then shit is going to hit the fan. For your own sake Aaron, I won't take part in this investigation but I am going to be at that place tonight. Now you both need to get over this, before you both bring back something that nobody can cope with!"

I pushed myself out from the restaurant table and left. As the fresh air hit me, I took a deep breath and went straight to the outside picnic tables. Climbing onto one, I sat on the table with my elbows dug into my knees. To hell with this alpha male bullshit!

****

I straightened up hearing the sound of footsteps slowly creeping up.

"What now?" I asked shaking my head looking at the RV.

"Can I sit down?" Maria asked making my head turn instantly.

"Sorry, I thought you were Aaron."

"Oh he is waiting to come and speak with you. I told him to give you some space first. I wanted to make sure you were okay?" She asked fiddling with her rings.

I nodded "I wish he would just ease up."

"Not gonna happen." She answered hoisting herself onto the table beside me. "Thing with Aaron is, he has dealt with demonic attachments, and taken stuff home. None of it concerns him, not until it effects the people he loves..."

I scoffed "He can't even say the word."

"Doesn't mean he doesn't feel or mean it. You did good back in there. Putting them both back into their places. Certainly shut them up that's for sure." She smiled. I got nudged by her arm "Welcome to the Team."

I laughed shaking my head "Yeah right, probably got myself grounded back in Vegas for the next 3 lockdowns."

"I won't let that happen."

I smiled slightly "Thanks."

"Luna?" Aaron called softly making me sit up.

"That's my cue to leave.. Go easy on him. He only meant well." She whispered slipping off the table and heading back in.
