Closure (BxB) [sequel to SAS] *ON HIATUS*

Chapter one:

Brian's POV:

"I like your new tattoo, what does it say?" Fred said and pointed at my ribs.

"It's in Hebrew. It basically says that if I won't take care of myself, no one will. You know? You can only trust yourself" I said.

He just nodded in response.

We were laying by the beach.

The same old beach I once took Zach to.

I tried to shake off the thought about him.

I didn't want to even remember his name anymore.

"so you and Matthew" Fred began to say.

"what about us?" I asked.

"Are you friends again?" he asked.

"I guess you can say so"

"and... are you going to return to your old group of friends then?"

"nope. I wasn't lying when I said I've changed"

"so why Matthew?"

I sighed.

"All I can say is that he was there for me when I needed him. Without judging me"

"is he changed as well?"

"You can say so... at least he's trying to. I guess he realizes we're all grown up now"

Fred nodded again.

"that's good" he simply replied.

---------------------------------

"how's Olivia doing? Haven't spoken to her in a while" I asked Fred.

"doing well. Really excited about law school. She wants to be exactly like her father" he said.

"Good for her" I smiled.

Olivia and I got pretty close after that night.

As if we created a special club for people who got hurt by Zachary Daniels.

"speaking about girlfriends..." Fred began to say.

I switched a shift as we were making our way back to the city.

"You can just say what's on your mind Fred, I don't care," I said.
