A Little Piece of Heaven

Brian's POV

What the fuck?

I wasn't expecting that.

Cynthia never gives up so easily.

Maybe I'm just over thinking this.

She probably is too tired to fight with me right now.

She spent all night walking around.

And she's pregnant with twins.

I know it's wrong, but I'm jealous of how close she is to Zacky right now.

She wanted him to go with her last night.

He's the one she called to when she wanted to go to bed right now.

Not me.

I know I'm the last one that should be getting jealous but I can't help it.

"What the hell is up with her?" Johnny asked.

"That's what I want to know." I said, glad that I wasn't the only one who noticed.

"Morning Michelle." I heard Cynthia squeal and Michelle walked out of the bunks and closed the door behind her.

She looked so confused.

"Not that I'm not glad she's not beating my ass into the ground again. But what's going on with her?" She asked.

"That's what we all want to know." Johnny said.

"Did Zacky drug her up or something?" Michelle asked.

"He better not have." I growled angrily.

"She's pregnant. He would never do something like that." Matt said.

"I don't like this." Val said, her voice full of concern.

"It's okay, Val. She's strong. She'll get through it." Michelle said with a small smile.

I saw a fire burn in Val's eyes that even scared me.

I sat a little further back in my chair, hoping her anger wouldn't come at me.

Everyone knows I deserve it.

"I'm not talking to you still." Val said angrily.

If you weren't looking at those two you'd probably think Val was talking to herself.

It was pretty weird.

Kind of surreal.

"How long are you not going to talk to me?" Michelle asked softly.

I looked at her now and I could see the pain in her eyes.

And that's my fault as well.

I'm the one that caused this.

"Haven't quite figured that one out yet. You have a knack for doing stupid shit that keeps me from talking to you for long periods of time." Val bit back.

"Come on Val. Let's go get some air." Matt said, gently picking Val up and helping her outside.

A little bit of tension left when Val did.

And I don't blame her.

She has every right to be mad.

I'm mad at my damn self.

I quietly got up to see if Cynthia had fallen asleep already so I could go in and lay with her.

Just to feel her and my babies next to me would be able to soothe some of the crazy things going through my head.

I opened the door and saw Cynthia sound asleep in my bunk.

Her face was the perfect picture of tranquility.

Across from her was Zacky, lightly snoring in his bunk.

In between the bunks, I saw Cynthia and Zacky's linked hands dangling.

I slowly closed the door and sat back down.
