As we walk more into the apartment I can see more of the damages done. There were glasses broken in the kitchen and the couches were torn up like someone had taken a knife or scissors and released their life's troubles on the furniture. I look around some more and see that our books have been destroyed, pages ripped out and what looks like red wine poured all over them. I could tell Kelsey was about to get really upset about her books. I liked to read too, but not as much as that girl. The wine had ran all over the carpet which definitely now needed to be replaced. Hell, we needed all new furniture and everything! Who would do something so awful?
I walk upstairs to my room with Zak closely behind me and the asshole didn't just ruin everything downstairs, but they were in our rooms too. "Are you shitting me?" I exclaim looking around my room to see my bed all messed up and my dresser had my clothes thrown all around the room. They had found my journal, ripped it up, and also poured red wine all over it too, getting wine all over my bed and rug. "I can't believe this shit!" Zak engulfs me in a hug to comfort me and kisses my forehead. I hear Kelsey and Jay come in my room to make sure I'm okay.
"Holy shit," Kelsey gets wide-eyed. "This is bad!"
"Is your room messed up too?"
"No! Mine's perfect. Exactly how I left it."
"What the hell? Really?" I get so confused I can't wrap my head around why someone would only destroy one room and the downstairs.
"It honestly looks like someone targeted you specifically, Shawn," Jay points out. He's right.
Small tears start to well in my eyes at the thought. I embrace Zak harder but quickly release him as I glance at my desk noticing my MacBook was open. "I know for sure I didn't leave that open."
"What are you talking about?"
"My Mac." I sit down at my desk and point to it. "It's open." I press on the spacebar and Pages pops up with a note. "What the?" I begin reading the note quietly to my self.
"Dear Shawn,
Sorry about the place. Well, really I'm not sorry because you stole my boyfriend! I figured now since you're working for the hot guy...you know...Zak...that you could afford to get new stuff. Let's just say had a little fun with your wine. Honestly, I was only with the guy because he has money but that'll be our little secret. Anyways, have fun on your new ghosty adventures!
Oh, I almost forgot! This blue charm necklace is beautiful! I know you won't mind if I keep it, right?
My eyes are now full of tears. Seriously, she thinks she can just take advantage of Zak like that? AND she has my grandmother's necklace. I wanted to kill her! I read on...
You better watch your back. If you try to say anything or report this you don't wanna know what will happen next. And I will get Zak back...one way or another.
See you later, bitch!

"That bitch!" I rush over to my jewelry box sitting on my dresser and find that my grandmother's necklace truly is gone.
"What is it?" Zak asks panicked.
"She took my grandmother's necklace!" I yell as tears roll down my face.
"What are you talking about?" Zak asks with confusion.
"It's Angela!" I point to my laptop so he can read her stupid letter. Zak starts reading it out loud so Kelsey and Aaron can hear it too.
"Are you sure it's her?" Jay asks surprised once Zak finishes. "She must've had help. There no way she did this on her own."
"It has to be. It's signed 'A'. I always thought she was crazy." I boldly state even though I didn't really know her. I just had another one of those stupid feelings. "I can't believe she said that about you." I look to Zak upset. I could tell he was pissed. "She totally took advantage of you."
"Yeah, she wouldn't be the first woman to do that either. I can't believe I trusted her. I should've listened to you sooner."
"Don't be blaming yourself for this." I embrace Zak in another tight hug. It was now getting close to 9pm and we were all getting pretty tired.
"Just pack a bag of some clothes and come over tonight. You're not staying here." Zak takes the same duffle bag I used for our lockdown and throws it on my bed.
"Kelsey, you too," Jay instructs her. "We'll figure out what to do about all of this tomorrow."
Kelsey and I both do as we're told and the four of us make our way back to Zak's car. Zak first brings Kelsey and Jay to Jay's place. "Goodnight, girl." Kelsey embraces me in a hug before heading inside with Jay.
"Goodnight, chica."
************
I get a warm greeting at the door from Gracie which cheers me up a little bit. "Hey girl," I bend over slightly to pet on top of her head and rub her ears. She groans and runs outside as soon as Zak opens the French doors that lead to his backyard. I take a deep sigh and Zak takes my bag off my shoulder and walks upstairs. I'm not sure if I should follow him but I feel kind of weird just standing here in the kitchen.
"You coming?" Zak yells from upstairs like he was reading my thoughts. I see Gracie at the door so I let her in and we both run upstairs to see Zak sitting on his bed.
"You okay? You look so concerned." I walk to him and he grabs my waist pulling me close as we share a kiss.
"I just can't believe she would do something like this."
"Babe, it'll be okay," I try to stay calm about the situation so Zak doesn't worry too much. "I'm just upset that she used you. How can someone be so shallow and selfish?"
"Don't worry about me."
"You know I would never do anything like that, right?" I assure him.
"I know," Zak musters a smile for me. "I trust you." I return the smile and kiss him softly.
"So, where do you want me to sleep?" Zak looks at me confused. "What?"
"You're staying with me. Unless you didn't want to. I mean, I have a guest room, I guess," Zak stumbles over his words.
"I would love to stay with you," I wrap my arms around his neck and he squeezes my hips even harder. "I just wasn't sure if you wanted me to."
"Of course I do. I always want you." God, why was he so sexy? Calm your thoughts, girl. I breathe deep. "You okay?
"Yeah, I'm good. Just tired," I yawn.
"I see that," Zak laughs. "Let's get you to bed." I rummage through my bag of clothes and find a red tank top and some black soffees to sleep in. Zak does the same thing and takes out a pair of black sweat pants. How does he not burn up during the night? I wonder and make my way to his beautiful en suite bathroom. I shut the door and take a minute to look around. To the left I see a giant soaker tub which would be so nice to get in right about now. I decide not to be a creeper and look though all of his stuff and I change into my pajamas. As I open the bathroom door I see Zak sitting on the bed with nothing but the sweat pants on. It takes everything in me not to just stand there in the bathroom doorway and stare, but I just can't help it. I bring myself back to earth and notice that Zak was staring at me as well. I walk to the other side of the bed and don't even hesitate in bundling up under the covers. What a damn comfortable bed he has! Zak joins me under the covers and I slowly scoot over to him, laying my head on his chest. He takes his hands and rubs up and down my side quickly making my eyes get heavy. He kisses the top of my head and I fall asleep in no time.
