You laugh clutching your stomach unable to breath. "No no that was awful.." You grip Billy's shoulder so you wouldn't fall, him rubbing his face while continuing to laugh at your terrible joke. "Hey." Zak is now standing in the doorframe staring down both you and Billy, but mostly you. "It's time for the lockdown." Billy nods while you turn back around making sure everything is set.
Zak can't help but stare as you bend over checking the cameras. He swallows a lump in his throat nervously, trying to pry his eyes away. "Yeah everything is set..." You look up at Zak. "We're ready when you are." Zak nods and grabs Aaron, pulling him towards the house as you and Billy sit down.
"Hey man, you alright?" Aaron shakes Zak by his shoulder as Jay bids his farewell to the owner of the home as she locks them inside. "Uh, yeah.." The boys eventually split up, Zak taking the first floor alone and both Aaron and Jay taking the basement.
Aaron and Jay don't catch much in the basement aside from shadows and full sentence EVP's. Zak seems out of it as you see him sitting down only holding out his recorder not saying much. "Hey Zak you alright?" You ask him through the walkie. He seems to snap out of it once hearing your voice. "Uh, yeah."
He stands up, walking over to the other tables sitting in the middle of the room. "Is there anyone in here with me?.." He asks out loud, feeling a pocket of cold air in front of him. He sticks his hand out. "I can feel you in here.." Zak hears Billy's voice come through Jay's walkie from downstairs, making his blood boil.
Zak hadn't become angry at Billy, he became angry at himself for being so jealous of Billy's relationship with you. But at that moment he needed something other than his feelings to be angry at. And that was Billy himself.
"You son of a bitch." Zak mumbles and kicks a chair over. "Do something! Come on!" You stare at the screen intensely. "What the fuck is he doing.." You whisper to yourself as Billy grabs his walkie. "Hey Zak calm down dude.."
Billy's voice only makes Zak even more angry, taking his anger out on the spirits. "I'm not fucking scared do something! Coward!" Zak kicks a table this time, nearly knocking it over. You stand up with a jolt when Zak leans over, hissing in pain.
Billy watches on the screen as you grab Zak's elbow angrily, dragging him back to base as Jay and Aaron continue using the spirit box downstairs. Once at base Zak sits down on a chair, hearing Billy tell Jay he's coming down to take his place since Jay felt extremely uncomfortable.
While Billy was making his way to the house and you and Zak were left alone, you take a chance to choke him out. "Zak. What the hell is wrong with you?! You told me you'd stop taunting." He sighs, removing his shirt so you can clean his scratches. "I'm just.." You look him in the eyes. "Just what?"
"I'm jealous. Jealous of you and Billy. And I didn't know how to express my feelings so.." He gestures to the monitor, giving a hint about his actions performed just minutes ago. You sigh, almost laughing. "Me and Billy are just close friends, I've known him for a really long time and I see him as more of a brother than a boyfriend." Zak sighs in relief and throws his head back as Jay walks in, taking in the sight of you cleaning up Zak.
"Whoa dude, are you alright?" Zak nods. "Yeah I'm good, are you feeling okay?" Jay nods. "Just a little spooked is all.." He sits down, putting his headphones on and watching Aaron freak out over his SLS camera shutting off.
"So, can I take you out on a date?.." Zak asks handing you holy water. You tap your chin jokingly. "Yeah sure..why not?"
