My Other Half (Avenged Sevenfold)

Untitled Part 36

"Tatum, please?" Brian begged.

We are getting ready to leave Hawaii after two weeks. These two weeks have been great for both of us. We both did a lot of soul searching if you will. We hung out majority of the time, but also spent time on our own to think.

What did I come up with? Well, Matt is an asshole and I'm moving out of his house the moment I'm home. Where am I going? I have no fucking idea since the house I used to rent is now occupied. Plus I'm scared of being alone. I can't ask my parents because that is just weird. Joe and Janelle are gonna have a baby and do not need my ass hanging around. Gena and Zack offered to let me stay as long as I wanted, but I just can impose on them for that long.

What is my last option? Yep. You got it. Brian. Brian is begging me to move in so I'm not alone and so he isn't alone. I'm not sure that is a wise decision. But, I'm also running out of options too.

"What the fuck will everyone say?" I groaned.

"Uh, hello? Maybe Matt shouldn't of fucked up and you wouldn't have this issue." He said.

"Yeah, but seriously. The press gets a hold of this and they will have a field day with it. Me moving in and out of your houses?" I said.

"Like we give a fuck. You think I don't know the shit they post about you on those websites? I do. It pisses me off. It pisses all of us off. But, it doesn't matter what they think. They don't know us." He said.

"God, I don't even want to face Matt yet." I groaned.

"You don't need to worry about that either." He smiled at me.

"What?" I asked.

"I hired a moving company. They are packing and moving your shit as we speak. To my house." He smiled.

"Brian!" I yelled.

"Tatum, you need a place to stay. You being alone is not an option when we don't know where Gage is. Once we do, then yeah, if your comfortable moving out, great. If not, stay. I don't mind. You'll have a huge bedroom and free reign of the house. Please?" He asked.

"Fine." I sighed.

"Good. Listen, I did talk to Matt today. I'm being honest with you, ok? I don't think you need anymore lies or shit hidden from you. He's not happy about us being here. Do I care? No, I don't. We haven't done anything wrong. He has. I refuse to let him put any blame on you or me. Understand?" He asked.

"I'm aware that we didn't do anything wrong. Who the fuck is he to get upset? He has Val." I glared.

"I know. I just wanted you to be aware that he is probably going to stop by when we get home. He did mention that." He sighed.

"And what? Tell me he's in love with Val? News flash, I already know." I said bitterly.

"Um, I think he wants you to come home. To his house." He said awkwardly.

I laughed until my sides hurt. That will be the fucking day. Nope. He wants Val. He can have her. That is fucking incredible. It really is. Brian looked at me and laughed.

"Girl, I already knew the answer." He grinned.

"Brian, can I ask you this and have you be honest with me?" I asked him.

"Yes." He said.

"Did he sleep with her?" I asked him.

Brian sighed and looked at the floor. Slowly his head came up to look at me.

"I didn't know for sure until the night we came here. I swear on Jimmy I didn't know. Matt told me right after Michelle had told me. Michelle told me before she left the hotel. Matt told me after Zack almost beat it out of him. I'm sorry Tatum. I really am." He said sincerely.
