"So it's all about... I'm such a fool."
"No, it's all about you. You won't understand how precious you are to me and I want to make sure you're at the safest place on this earth living the best life you can."
"For fuck sake Ash cut it out." She jumped to her feet.
"What?"
"You dumped me, it sucks and I will get over it. You don't have to give me a break up speech. That's even worse than you dumping me. That will make me feel worse for dating an old fashioned bastard."
"Oh, I hate speeches so would you shut the fuck up, seat your pussy down and keep that pretty mouth shut?" He squeezed his eyes shut. "You think I like this? You think it's easy for me to be in your room in the middle of the night and not screw your guts out?"
He felt her sit.
"El is going to take care of you from now on. He is going to be your boyfriend and you will listen to him. You're not losing anything because you already got him licking you up behind my back..."
"Oh, you suck Ash. So what if I slept with him?"
"You still feel no remorse about it." Anger was slowly creeping into his voice.
"I don't grow remorse over things I enjoy and like you said, I do like him. Unlike you, he's different. All you do is screw me you have no idea of how to care or love someone Ash. You're just a hungry empty bastard that's trying to fill up with sex."
"Addison..."
"What? What are you growling for? Huh? And you know what's more? You're lucky you got to him first and had him disappear before I got to him or I was going to strip for him the moment I saw him again because he fucks me real good..."
His body snapped before his mind did, grabbing her by the neck and pinning her against the wall. He could feel his body abnormally overheating, his anger boiling from the core of his being to the muscles in his hands.
For a moment, he felt her neck bones crack under his fingers. He heard her bones snap before he realized that she was lifeless in his hand.
"Addison?" Ash brought her down and laid her on the floor. "Don't fucking die on me, Princessah. Don't make Devyn hate me more than he already does. Addison,"
The door was pushed open once again, and the lights turned on.
"Addison,"
"Adey," Devyn rushed to her side, jerking Ash off her. "Fuck away,"
Before Ash could resist, someone said, "Don't make me kill you like a coward."
Ash turned to the person that just spoke. Matteo stood just behind him with a revolver trained on him.
"I'd like to think you prefer dying fair and square." Matteo added, nodding towards the door.
Clenching his fists, Ash gave Rhys Grier one long look before storming out of her room.
He wouldn't kill her right away, if he was planning to. Ash knew Rhys Grier would use that as an opportunity to garner her trust. Rhys Grier would save her and gather a troop of supporters to play the hero who avenges his beloved sister's attacker.
Ash knew very well what was coming next.
Ash knocked on the door.
A few moments later, it was opened an inch and he pushed his way past the owner of the apartment.
"Ash," Javier locked the door and followed Ash inside. "What happened now? Why are the cops after you this time?"
"I need to fuck."
Javier chuckled. "Of course, I know that's all you ever want when you look me up. You're going to have to come out of the closet one of these days, babe."
Ash glared at Javier before proceeding to the bedroom where he started to undress.
Javier grabbed a couple of cans of beer from his mini fridge and went over to where Ash was. He opened one and offered it to him. "Here."
Pouring the cold liquid down his throat, Ash could see Javier giving him a full body scan from the corner of his eye. "You like what you see?"
"Not really," Javier opened a drawer at the foot of his bed and pulled out a first aid kit.
"I'm not here for that." Ash glared at him.
"You never are, but sadly you always need it when you come here." He set it on the bed and pushed Ash down. "You got this from the fight that killed Thane."
"You're always updated on my affairs."
"If it bothers you that much you should reconsider showing up at my doorsteps in the middle of the night."
Ash grabbed Javier's collars and pulled him close. The other boy stared back defiantly and Ash shoved him away. "Don't touch me."
Javier pulled him back. "If I wasn't doing this to practice cleaning mutilated corpses I still wouldn't listen to you." He poked two fingers into Ash's side making him jump.
"The fuck is wrong with you?" Ash grabbed Javiers hand.
"I should ask what the fuck is wrong with you instead, you know?" Javier opened the kit. "You're not in some Fast and Furious movie where you get a bullet through you, and pour some alcohol and you're done."
"It shouldn't be your concern." Ash drained the can and signaled for another.
"You have a fucking bullet in you Ash, and instead of going to the hospital you went for a joyride on a yacht."
"Take it out."
"I specialize in dead bodies, not live ones."
"And your complaint is?"
"Would you please take better care of yourself? As much as I hate you waking me up every night, I'd rather please not be woken up in the middle of the night to work on your dead body." He said examining a scalpel.
