Banned in a book

Matt’s POV

“Of course we are coming with you!” Zack says and I shake my head.
“No, you won’t. I will meet her alone, we are having dinner. I will try to see what information I can get and after that I will call you. Maybe I can explain the situation and we can come up with another meeting, and then I will bring you here, but not before tha. I don’t wanna scare her away.” I look at Zack and he lifts his eyebrows.
“You want to fuck her and don’t want us around, that’s it and don’t deny it.”

I roll my eyes but couldn’t hide the smirk pulling on my lips “I don’t want to just fuck her.. I want to fuck her and get information. That’s called to kill two birds with one stone.” I say smirking and
Jimmy smacks the back of my head.
“Idiot, get the information first, then fuck her, we don’t want her to be too disappointed after your lacking skills in the sack.”
“Fuck you” I snapp back “There is nothing wrong with my skills, she will scream the information I want, when I am done with her.” I grin again making Jimmy chuckle.
“So full of himself, that guy.” Johnny says handing me a coke.

“When will you leave?” Zack asks and gets back to the main point of our discussion.
“This evening, I will rent a hotel in Fresno. She sent me the name of the restaurant and the time she wants to meet with me just a couple of minutes ago.” I say and look at the message with a smile.

“Is it fancy?” Zack asks looking me up and down and I felt like my friend needed a good punch in the face for a question like that.
“What?” Zack asks when I didn’t reply.
“I will change, before going to dinner, if that’s what you are concerned about.” I say rolling my eyes and hearing a snickering sound behind me from Johnny and Jimmy.

“Shut up. God, maybe I know why this Syn guy left the band, must have something to do with the way you guys treat your friends.” I say while getting up.
I drink the last of my coke and set the glass back on the table in front of me.

“I will drive home now and get ready for the trip, it’s a couple of hour drive. I will keep you guys updated, but don’t call me too often… I could be in the middle of something… important.”
“You mean in the middle of someone…” Johnny high fived Jimmy and I had to chuckle, these guys were the worst.

Sam’s POV

I woke up and saw the bed beside me was empty. I saw that is was already after noon and I was so used to seeing Brian there in the morning that it felt weird when he was not here. But I should get used to that feeling, he wouldn’t be here forever.
My heart squeezed painfully at the thought and I breathed deeply in and out to temper the ache down a little bit.

I listened for the shower but I couldn’t hear anything.
Maybe Brian was already in the kitchen making breakfast?

I wanted to apologize to him, I didn’t mean to be so emotional to him but I felt so bad for Selena, she had been falling for a smiliar asshole like I had.
I should have known better, I should have seen it, for fucks sake!
I had been jerked around by my ex, I thought I knew better then fall again for such a guy, I should have warned Selena.
Damn it, now it was too late.

I went to the bathroom brushed my teeth and took a quick shower. I dressed in sweatpants and a top and walked down the corridor to find Brian sitting at the head of the stairs.
He had his head buried in his hands and didn’t even look up when I approached him.

I touched my hand to his shoulder and he jerks away, his head snapped up to me and he looked like hell.
“Brian? What’s wrong? Something happened?” He shakes his head but kept on starin at me, making me nervous.
“Brian?” I softly put my hand to his cheek and he closes his eyes, not flinching away from my touch.
“Are you alright?” I ask him but just as softly he shakes his head, not brushing my hand away.
I sit down beside him on the top of the stairs.
“I don’t wanna fight with you, Sam. I don’t… please don’t shut me out.” He says his voice so quiet that I really had to concentrate to hear him correctly.

I was a little shocked that he would say something like that, but then I realized I had shut him out. I was just so sad yesterday that I wasn’t able to deal with everything.
I should have talked to him instead, but after Tom I felt the need to rather close myself off.

“I’m sorry.” I say and his head snaps to me, and I finally let my hand fall from his face.
“Don’t be sorry, just let my in again. I need you, don’t let me be alone. I am alone most of the time… and I can’t stand being alone much longer.”
I felt the need to ease his pain a little and share something with him, I didn’t like to share with anyone, but still I wanted him to know.

“After Tom had betrayed me not only physically but also mentally, he fooled me… and Brian I mean really fooled me. He was acting like the sweet guy, but as soon as I left the room he hung on every woman that was available, if she was married, in a relationship or not, he didn’t care. I trusted him, I trusted him more then anyone else. He swore that he never would even look at other women, he told me I was the one for him, from the first moment he saw me. We were young and I was naïve, I thought there was something like love at first sight, because… damn I loved him. With all my heart I did.” I swallowed thickly still thinking how I let myself be fooled like that…

“Please don’t..” Brain looks at me from the side with a pleading look on his face I didn’t get.
“Don’t continue.” He shakes his head but there was no other way, I had to talk to him, to let him in.
“I have to, you have to hear it all. I took his word, but he was a lie… He was cheating on me, he was spending my money. He was living in my house, he lost his job… He told me he would soon get something new, but he didn’t… He didn’t even try. He liked being home, having his whores here while I was working… while I was trying to pay the bills, the bills he caused.” I sighed heavily.
“And I tried to make him happy. I tried everything but he distanced himself from me, making me look like the bad one. Telling me I was making him that way… he fucked with my brain. He made me believe him, until at one point I realized what was really going on and to my confirmation I came home one evening early, found him in bed with another woman…” I shake my head with a small sad smile, its been years now…

Only Selena knew the full story, no one else… but now Brian knew.
“I’m sorry, I would punch him as well for you, maybe even do worse… just hand over his address.” Brian says with a small smile “But why did you tell me all this?”
“It’s hard to let someone back in… after being treated that way. But… I want you to know… I want to let you in Brian…”

Matt’s POV

After I drove down the highway all night I had tried to think of the best way to bring the conversation with Selena into the direction I want to.. no I would need it to take… but… damn I could only think about other things... way more interesting things if I had to admit…

Late at night I had checked into the hotel and got the first message from Zack already.

Zack: You arrived?

I lay in my hotelbed making myself comfortable, I planned on checking out the area tomorrow before I would meet Selena for dinner tomorrow.
Maybe I could get some hints about the city and why our band mate would be here and not in Huntington like we were.

I picked up my phone and called Zack back because I was too lazy to write.

“Yeah, I arrived.” I greeted him.
“Good, it’s late…” Zack says and I grin, he sounded like he already was asleep.
“Yup, and don’t worry. I’m already in the hotel and I will give you guys tomorrow an update as soon as I talked to Selena. When I can fix another appointment with her to meet with her friends I will write you a message.” I said and knew he was worried I would be too distracted to do the task at hand and I might sometimes tend to let myself be distracted… but only if it was worth it, but I had a feeling that with Selena it was indeed worth it.
“Good, just be sure not to forget what this meeting is about.” Zack says while yawning.
“Gotcha.” I say.
“Good night.”
“Until tomorrow.” I hung up and stared at the ceiling with a smile, I couldn’t wait for the meeting tomorrow.
