Brandon Talks With Zack

Brandon mind burned with anger as he stormed down the hallway, he had no idea where he was going but he needed distance from Ashley. As he got further and further away his anger started to subside and sadness began to take over. By the time he reached the den, he was nearly on the brink of tears, he couldn't understand why Ashley would do this to him. How could she just decide she wanted someone else and then start hating him?

Brandon entered the den and instantly spotted Zack, who luckily was just finishing up the cleaning process by folding up the blanket, "Brandon?" Zack asked as he glanced back with a raised brow, "You okay man?"

"No," Brandon replied, sounding almost stunned as he collapsed on the couch across from Zack.

Zack instantly stopped what he was doing and turned around to full face his friend, he'd never seen him in such a way, he looked utterly destroyed. "What, uh, what happened?" Zack asked as he took a seat,

"I think Ashley just broke up with me." He mumbled back while staring off into the distance,

"What? Brandon...Jesus man, I'm so sorry." Zack sincerely said, "What happened?"

Brandon cocked his head, his eyes welling up a bit, "Um...well let's see..." He said in a broken voice, "She started off by saying she no longer likes me, followed by she doesn't want to be near me." Zack leaned back a bit as Brandon's eyes narrowed, his fists clenching up tightly, "Then," He nearly growled out, "Then she tells me she wants someone else."

"Wants someone else?" Zack repeated back, more to himself, growing concerned that Ashley may have been talking about him,

"Yeah," Brandon affirmed, "She wouldn't say who and before I could figure it out she kicked me out of our room. She says she's gonna try and room with someone else now." Brandon nearly spat out,

"Fuck man...that's some-I'm sorry." Zack said as he ran his hand through his hair,

"Thanks." Brandon replied as he took a slow breath, doing his best to calm himself, "I still can't believe she wants to throw a two-year relationship out the window for nothing."

Zack completely agreed with this, if Ashley was talking about them as a pair then she was utterly confused. "It doesn't make much sense, you're right." Zack said while shaking his head, "Maybe she was just angry or something. You should give her the night and talk to her in the morning, see what happens then."

Brandon ran the idea through his head for a moment, "Maybe...She did have a reason to be pissed at me. Though she didn't seem to be when I told her."

"What's the reason?" Zack asked with a raised brow,

Brandon looked over at him then out towards the hallway, making sure no one was near, "Okay but if I tell you, you take it to the grave, alright?"

"Done." Zack instantly swore,

Brandon let out a low sigh, "It was Heather. We didn't fuck or anything but she jumped me. She was trying so hard to get me to fuck her, or as she put it, take out my frustrations. In the end, she convinced me to jerk myself off onto her. I don't know what's getting into the girls but it's getting kinda crazy."

Zack sat for a moment, his eyes wide, "So Heather has the hots for you, all of a sudden?" He asked slightly confused, as Heather never really seemed attracted to any one of them,

"That's just it!" Brandon said his voice going a bit high, "She doesn't. I went in there looking for Ashley and she told me she was horny. When I told her no, she said it didn't have to mean anything. Zack, I'm telling you, if anyone walked in that room she'd have done the same thing. Heather's like...sex hungry right now."

"Christ," Zack said with a little smirk, he couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity, "I sure picked the best time to start a real relationship."

"What, you regret not being able to go and jump Heather?" Brandon asked returning the laugh,

"Hell no, I just don't want her trying to jump me too," Zack answered with a slightly nervous chuckle, as he knew that would be damn near impossible to resist.

"Well then stick close to Chloe, at the very least she'd be able to keep Heather back." Brandon said with a little shake of his head, "Looks like I'm taking the couch tonight." Brandon said with a sigh,

"Yeah, don't worry, these things are pretty comfortable." Zack joked while slapping his couch a few times,

"Good, I just want to fall asleep and forget about all this shit for awhile." Brandon said with a sigh as he laid out, laying his arm over his eyes, "Hey think I could use that blanket you got?"

"O-oh, uh, no..." Zack replied growing a bit embarrassed, "Chloe, um, Chloe spilled a drink on it. It's all wet and shit."

"Ah okay," Brandon said with a short nod as Zack got up and headed towards his room, "Hey Zack, next time you two fuck out here make sure you got a better excuse when everything gets all wet," Brandon called out with a smirk now on his face,

Zack couldn't stop himself from snickering, Brandon got him dead to rights, "Duly noted." Zack called back before walking down the hallway, walking into his room. He immediately spotted Chloe who was putting on a fresh pair of night clothes, "Brandon knows." He simply said as he dropped the blanket on the floor,

"Figures." Chloe said with a little roll of her eyes, "He didn't watch or anything did he?" She asked a little disgusted,

"No, he caught me in a lie. We got the blanket all wet, remember...or well you did." Zack said with a little-raised brow,

"It takes two to tango Bishop," Chloe instantly shot back with a smile, "Guess we should have known better than thinking we could just get away with that."

"I don't care if everyone fucking knows," Zack mumbled back as he walked over and wrapped his arms around Chloe, "I wouldn't trade what happened for anything, it was perfect." Chloe let out a warm, loving smile of agreement and lightly pressed her lips against his. "C'mon McRose, time for bed."

"Sounds good to me." She said while the two moved to their bed and got into it. Zack quickly wrapped his arms around Chloe's waist, keeping her close to him while he buried his head in her hair, enjoying her scent. Chloe let out a content sigh and let her eyes drift closed, falling asleep in Zack's loving embrace.
