Arin's POV

I arrived in front of my house, quickly getting out of the car with the bags of food in hand. I opened the door and hurriedly walked into the house, putting the food on the kitchen table.

Kimberly had already got home from work and was sitting on the couch. She smiled as she saw me. Her smile soon faded when she walked closer to me. “Baby what happened?” She laid her hand gently on my face.

“Fight. Ben. Thinking. Getting. Ren. Back.” I said in between breaths. She nodded understanding what happened but had a sad look on her face.

I lead her to the table in the kitchen and we both sat down. A small smile appeared as she saw the food and strawberry shake. She took the shake and I handed her the nuggets and fries.

“I thought once he cheated on her, he was done with her for good.” She takes a drink from her shake.

I shook my head. “Guess not. I was at the music store Ren and her friend Emi work at yesterday. This blonde girl seems to have started a fight with Emi cause Emi came out ready to brawl. The girl had cuts, bruises, and had a bloody lip. Emi only had bruises and scratches.” I took a bit of my burger and sighed in bliss. We both sat there eating for a minute and the conversation continued.

“So what happened that made Ben fight you?” My fingers drummed against the table.

“He wanted me to give a small box to Ren. I just told him that she doesn't want to deal with him.” I was now working on finishing my chocolate shake.

Kimberly has slowly drinking hers but was listening very closely. “Then he quietly said to me and I quote 'I will find a way to take back what's mine.' The guy was already dating someone yet it seems he just can't let Renae go.”

It pissed me off that my best friend's ex will never seem to move on from the fuck up he's done to her. I also know that she and Zacky were getting pretty close. I had a feeling that he wasn't going to let Ben take her away from him.

I got to know Zacky when I first joined the band. He's an awesome guy and cares about people. Also has a big heart. She was in good hands.

Kimberly and I got done with out shakes then decided to sit in the living watching a movie. Time to get some rest and relaxation spending time with my wife.

Renae's POV

I was getting done with my shift when my phone rang. I headed to the backroom and answered it.

“Hello?” I answered.
“Well hello there beautiful, excited to get off work?” The voice said on the other line.
I laughed and shook my head. “Why yes Mr. Baker, I certainly am. You have something planned in mine?” It was Zacky's turn to laugh.

He didn't mind me calling him Mr. Vengeance every know and then but he wanted me to know that Baker's his last name. Which I had knew since I got curious and into about Avenged Sevenfold when I first saw them at Warped Tour. Wanting to know what their real names were. But eh I did it out of respect.

“Maaybe. Just calling to let you know I'll be coming by to pick you up in 5 minutes.” I looked up at the clock and nodded. “I'll see you in 5.” We said goodbye and I hung up. I went back to putting things away.

As I got done, 5 minutes had passed. I came out from the backroom and saw a car parked in front of the store. Zacky popped his head out and waved. I smiled then got my stuff, clocked out, and walked out to the car.

I opened the passenger's side and got in. “I hope it's okay for us to hang out at my place for a bit?” He asked as he started driving away from the store.

My smiled grew bigger. “Of course. I love spending time with you.” He looked at me and gave me the cutest smile I've seen. I pretty much melted. So far it seems we almost spent the whole day together. It was awesome. We pulled up in front of his house.

I slowly stepped out. “Is it okay if I drop by my place and drop my stuff off?” He nodded and I quickly walked to the apartment which wasn't too far. I opened the door, hurried up the stairs, and threw my onto the counter near the kitchen. I got a bottle of water from the fridge and went back outside.

I locked the door behind me and headed down the stairs. Started walking to Zacky's house. The door was open so I headed inside take a drink of my water. I see him sprawled out on the couch watching some cartoon.

I stood there smiling as I watched him be interested in it. He looked so cute when he was into something and has that look on his face. I was almost finished with my water as I then noticed he was in his boxers.

I was staring at all the tattoos on his body. It was like I was mesmerized by them. I probably dazed off for a while because when I looked at the couch again, he was gone. Where did he go?
I felt arms wrapped around my body and pulled me close to their own. “You like what you see?” Zacky whispered into my ears. I felt like I was about to faint and fall to the floor if he wasn't holding me up.
I smirked as I thought of something. I turned around and looked at him. “If I said yes?” I said and bit my lip. He stared at my lips then slowly looked back up to me eyes. As he was about to lean in and kiss me, I ducked and quickly pulled away from his embrace, running up the stairs while laughing.

I heard him not too far catching up to me. I quickly shed off all my clothes only leaving myself in my bra and panties. I put them in a pile hiding them in the guest room and went to his room, closing the door and getting under the sheets.

I waited for about 5 minutes but didn't hear anything. Sleep soon started to get to me. I pulled the sheets off of my face and closed my eyes.

A minute after I fell asleep, I felt the bed shift. “Found ya.” Zacky said quietly. He kissed my cheek and snuggled next to me, wrapping his arms around me. This day has just gotten better.

Matt's POV

I had just got home from the studio. The songs the band and I recorded sound great and I hope we'll be done with this record soon. But for now, I want to relax and spend time with my wife and son. I was about to get out of the car when Val opens the door to the house and stomps over to me. I looked down at her.

“What's wrong babe?” He pulled her into a hug. She pushes me away.

“My sister. She called me and told me that Brian divorced her. What is wrong with him?!” I raised an eyebrow and shook my head. She didn't want to believe that Michelle treated Brian like shit and cheated on him a lot while we were away on tours.

I stuffed my hands into my pockets. “Valary, you knew it was bound to happen. Hell you even caught her one time when she was staying at the house for a few days fucking a guy she met at the club in the living room.” I stared at her with an eyebrow raised.

Val stared back at me. It was a staring contest between us. She finally gave in and hugged me. I held her and kissed her cheek.

“I can't believe it. I love my sister but wow. If I were Brian I would have done the same.” She sighed. She loved Michelle and would do anything for her. But this time, I think she knew she had to let her sister handle this on her own.

We were about to head inside when another car pulled up and parked in front of my car. Speak of the she-devil. She got out and walked towards us. “Hey sis.” Val said to her. Michelle looked at her and smiled. Though when she looked at me she had a look of disgust on her face.

As she was about to head inside, I grabbed her arm. “Just because Brian divorced your ass, doesn't mean you get to take it out on me because he's my friend.”

Michelle pulled her arm away from me and scoffed. “Whatever. I gave that man all he wanted...sex, satisfaction, and a hot sexy lady...me.” Typical of someone like her. Thinking that all men want are sex while she uses them for money makes me very mad.

I noticed that she still had her wedding band on her finger. I snatched her hand, took off the ring, and held it in my hand. I let go of her hand and she gasped.

“Hey that's mine!” She yelled. I smirked and waved my finger. “Not anymore. If you're wanting to fuck all the men with money and thinking you're hot because they want you, you don't get to keep this.” I pulled Val aside away from Michelle.

“I'm gonna get some rest. Please make she sure isn't too loud.” Val looked at me and nodded. She gave me a quick kiss then pulled her sister into the house.

I hurried in after they got inside and went upstairs. Once I stripped out of my clothes and was left only in my boxers, I passed out once my head hit the pillow. I'm so glad River was staying with my mom and dad or else I wouldn't be able to sleep. I love the little guy but wow he's full of energy.

- Next Day -

I got up early and changed into a sleeveless Pantera shirt, black jeans, and brown sneakers. I was going to drop by Brian's place today to see what's going on. I told Val I was heading off. She kissed my lips and I noticed Michelle was sleeping on the couch. Great now I have to deal with her later.

I got into the car and drove off. Brian didn't live too far from me. Hell we practically lived in the same neighborhood. I kept driving then turned right. Once I arrived at his house, I noticed that his car was just arriving there as well.

Brian's POV

As I arrived in front of my house, I noticed Matt's car heading towards the house. I wonder what he's doing here? I had already dropped off Emilia before I got here. She was asleep when we got back from our date so I decided to bring her into her apartment and put her on the bed.

So many emotions were going through my head and I was getting hungry. When we got back, it was already morning. Time for this guy to have a big ass breakfast.

I got out of my car. Matt did the same thing. We met half way in front of my house. “Hey man.” He said to me. “Hey” I said and stood in front of the door.

“So what do I owe the privilege of having Mr. Matt Sanders grace me with his presence?” Matt laughed and lightly punched my arm. I faked being hurt but grinned.

“I came by to talk to you.” I looked at him for a moment then nodded. I opened the door to the house and lead him in. I put coffee in the coffee maker and waited.

“Want some breakfast?” Once he nodded, I looked into the fridge and got out a box of a dozen donuts. As the coffee got down, I poured up both a cup. I handed him the cup. He muttered a thanks then dug into the box of donuts and sat down at the table.

I took one of the donuts and bit it then took a sip of my coffee. “So what did you want to talk about?” I watched him eat 2 more donuts.

“You know what.” He dug into his pocket and took out a ring. The same ring I had given Michelle. He laid it on top of the table. I stared at it. Feeling of heart ache, anger, and frustration came up inside me.

I was about to ask but he held his hand up to stop me. “She came by my house when I got home. I took it from her which only made her more angry than she was before.”

We both sat there in silence for a moment. I reached and took the ring in my hand. “I felt so...betrayed and torn when she did what she's done to me so many times.” I sighed. I gave my life, my heart, and myself to her. Only to later on have it thrown in my face and crushed in front of me.

Matt laid a hand on my shoulder and squeezed lightly. “She wasn't right for you anyway. In a strange universe I wished she would be there for you like how Val was for me. But I guess she didn't inherit that and ended up being the bad twin all in all.” He laughed. That brought a smile to my face a little.

“After divorcing her, it felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders and I can breath again.” I finished the rest of my coffee and went to go put it into the sink.

Matt followed soon after once he finished his as well. “I'm glad man. I like seeing you happy and not so grumpy at times.” I flipped him off as we both went to the living room. I sat on the couch. He chuckled and took a seat on the recliner.

“So what's up with you and Emi? I noticed every time we bring her up in conversations, you're really animated about her.” I tried to hide the blush that was slowly creeping up. I do really like her? Was this really what I'm feeling or am I trying so hard to push Michelle out of my mind for good when I know she's hurt me so many times?

No I need to move on. Michelle's the past. I want something to happen between Emi and I but I also know that I shouldn't rush into it. That'll scare her away and I don't want that.

I took a deep breath. “Well I've hung out with her for a few days so far. Took her on a date...well I guess more like out to dinner yesterday, as you can see I'm still in my clothes. I just...I don't know. I think I'm falling for her man.” I saw a smile crept up on Matt's face.

“Dude that's awesome! You deserve to be happy. If I were you I'd go get her. She seems like an awesome person. Her and Renae are both awesome. I'm glad to know them.” Matt's smile was contagious. I soon had a big ass goofy smile on my face as well. I probably looked creepy. “Me too bro, me too.”

I stood up and walked over to the tv. I turned it on as well as the Xbox. “Play you a game of COD?” I reached for the controller and handed it to him. Matt grabbed it and smirked.

“You're on!” I laughed and took the other controller. We started playing a few rounds. I'm glad we had this talk. I feel alive again. Now time to figure out how to tell Emilia my feelings for her.
