Dirty Visual

Brian had spent a lot of time thinking about why Matt would betray him like that. Why would his best friend lie to him so willingly? Then he thought about it a bit more, why was Matt avoiding his questions about Jared? Why couldn’t he tell him about his past?

Michelle tried to keep him in the house all day every day but while she was at work he snuck into a cab and got a ride to a local diner. It was nearly dinner time and Michelle said she would be late so he decided to grab a bite to eat.

Brian made his way into the diner and ordered a steak and potatoes with a coke before looking for a table. Most seamed filled with families. All but one which was right next to the man from the hospital; Brian made his way to the table. “Excuse me are you that dude from the hospital?”

“Yeah,” The man looked up with a nervous gaze. Why is that? “I’m Zack.”

“Hey Zack, do you mind if I sit with you for a minute?” Brian pointed to the open seat right across from Zack’s.

“Not at all, take a seat.” Zack smiled as Brian took a seat, the brown eyed man couldn’t help but return the gesture.

“How are your kids?” Brian eyed him curiously, folding his hands in front of himself on top of the table.

“My kids,” Zack stammered with wide eyes.

“The one Matt was holding and the little shy guy. They’re your kid’s right?” Brian wondered with frowned brows.

“Yeah their mine,” Zack looked down at the table; he had to tell a little lie about Kage being his. Brian thought Bentley was Jared. Fuck. “They are as good as their going to get for now.”

“What do you mean?” Brian asked as a waitress set a cup of coke and a straw down in front of him. He smiled and thanked the woman before entirely disregarding the straw, taking a big gulp from his soda.

“A lot has been going on in their lives; problems with their dad.” Zack made eye contact, keeping Brian’s gaze as he talked about him. “Some one has been threatening my family and causing problems, the oldest one won’t talk for some reason and I am this close to loosing it.” Zack pinched his finger together to show how close he was to loosing his mind.

“Shit sorry dude.” Brian actually looked sympathetic for this man, one he didn’t even know. Zack shook his head. “Why did you help Matt pull that prank?”

“What prank?” Zack took a drink of the water in front of him, he really didn’t know what Brian was talking about.

“The one at the hospital,” Brian stated with a frown. Zack looked up into his eyes and thought long and hard about how to answer the question.

“Brian, there are a lot of things you forgot when you got into your accident. I can’t tell you how but I’ve played a big part in your life.” Zack couldn’t tell him anything crucial, doctor’s orders.

“Then why can’t I remember you? I remember Shelly and Matt.” Brian was slowly getting more and more upset, looking down at the table in frustration. God why did his head hurt so fucking bad, just from trying to think to much, to remember anything!

“Brian the doctor said you can’t remember anything from the past six years.” Zack informed the older man. Gauging his reaction, wondering if he should continue after he saw a distressed look on the other mans face followed by an angry frown.

“No, no it hasn’t been that long.” Brian shook his head, clearly in denial. The waitress walked over and put his plate down. To distract himself Brian dug in. Why was this guy lying to him? It hadn’t been that long, Jared was still a baby, he had seen so himself. Matt and Zack’s stupid joke is going to blow up in their face.

“Brian, look at the date on your phone.” He dug into his pocket and grabbed his phone, when he flipped the lid open all he saw was a picture of baby Jared. No date, time or any other gadget. He turned it around to show Zack.

“There isn’t one.” Brian growled and put the phone back into his pocket. He gruffly cut off a piece of meat and stuffed it in his mouth. He watched as Zack spotted a newspaper on the counter. He stood, grabbed one and paid for it and returned to Brian.

“Look at the date.” Zack spoke stubbornly. No it couldn’t be right; there is no way in hell that the year is 2012.

“This is part of your sick joke; you and Matt!” Brian stood leaving his foot behind. He threw a twenty dollar bill on the counter for the waitress. Looking down at the stack of papers momentarily he saw that the second one read 2012 as well. It had to be a fake print, that’s all there is to it; stupid fucking Joke. When he turned around Brian saw Zack right behind him. “Do you guys get off on fucking with my head?”

“Brian I have proof of your life over the past six years if you will let me show you.” Zack pleaded with his eyes. If only his boyfriend could see that he was telling the truth, that he wanted Brian to remember him with every fiber of his being. God why was this so fucking hard to do? Why did Brian have to be so fucking stubborn!

“Fuck off Zack!” Brian pushed past Zack and was nearly at the door when his arm was grabbed. He spun around, his face masked in rage.

“Then meet your son. He’s a seven year old little boy who has been broken for the past few weeks because his father can’t even remember him growing up.” Zack pleaded once more. Brian tore his arm out of Zack’s grasp and stormed out of the restaurant.

Fuck him. If Matt and Zack want to lie to him; fuck them.

“He walked out just like that?” Mattie asked over the phone. Zack had gone home immediately and called Mattie. Matt’s mom had made dinner for the boys and had gone home nearly twenty minutes ago.

“He walked out, just like that Mattie.” Zack sighed, sitting down on the couch. Bentley was nearly two months old now and slowly rolling around on the floor. Jared was watching Spongebob with his feet kicked up on the arm of the loveseat. Zack smiled at the little boy when he gave a slight lip twitch at something funny he saw.

“Hopefully he will remember soon babe. He freaked out on Matt thinking he is lying. If we can find a way to show him his life and have him believe it that would be great. Even if he knows just a little bit about it then we can try to see if he remembers anything bigger. Fuck that doctor. Maybe these things will help him recover.” Mattie stated. “Shit babe I have to go another call is coming in okay?”

“Okay bye little bro.” Before the call could be disconnected, the sound of breaking glass was heard on both sides of the phone.

“Zack? Zacky? Zack!” When Mattie got no response he hung up and dialed the cops.

On Zack’s end he quickly grabbed Bentley and told Jared to head into his and Brian’s bedroom. He ran upstairs with the kids and dialed the cops on his cell. He hid Jared in the walk in closet behind some clothes, he handed the little boy Bentley and quickly closed them in after telling him to stay quiet and keep the baby as happy as possible.

Zack shut the closet and barricaded it with a few boxes. He grabbed the gun out of his nightstand and loaded it really quick. He was ready to fire. But before he could turn towards the door a masked figure came out of nowhere and hit him over the head. Zack fell down immediately; his gun went under the bed. The person on his back held a knife to his throat after holding his head back by the hair.

Zack used his finger tips to locate the gun, he scooted it closer as the person talked. “I’ve got you now Zacky Vengeance.” He knew that voice. Where had he heard it before?

Oh fuck!
