Aaron is in his room laying on the bed throwing and catching a ball in the air.

“These fucking idiots!” he mumbles.

“Cant even keep this group together if they tried!” he said.

“Bullshit!” he thought.

He was angry. Why ? He had lost two of his friends back to back, he didn't want to be a leader, he was running away from the problem and the problem just seemed to keep following him, he felt suffocated in a bunch of issues. Aaron never acted like this, usually he was always plain and simple. Emotionless. All of this just changed him. Lit something in him. 

Mason listened on the other side of the door.

“These ignorant assholess!” Aaron said.

Mason walked into the living room.

“Okay we have to talk to him.” Mason explained. “He is in there bashing all of us—like bad! If we don't, who knows what’ll do. Kick us all out of the group.” Mason finished.

“Stop being overdramatic.” Livvik said.

“I'm not being overdramatic. He's never acted like this and you know it.” Mason responded.

“Okay fine, let's talk to him.” Zen said before an argument broke out.

They all got up and walked into aarons room. Aaron ws still tossing the ball into the air. He sat up straight on his bed. His pale skin was pink instead of red. He was nervous and angry at the same time.

“Okay, what's up?” Zen opened up.

“What fuck are you talking about?” Aaron responds.

“You've been in your room bashing your friends for a week now, Aaron, we're not dumb!” Mason continued.

Aaron looked confused. To him, they were invading his privacy. Snooping.

“I have not been bashing any of you, what are you talking about?” Aaron denied.

“Oh please! We can hear you obviously these walls are thin, not thick as bricks, you idiot!” livvik said a little angry.

“Listen jackasses, stay out of my business and keep your nose out of my ass! You know they say privacy is key to friendship.” Aaron said.

He stood u[ and walked towards his brother.

“Maybe I just shouldn't be your friend then…” he said.

He walked out of the house and got into his van. He pulled off throwing dirt and dust all in the air. The rest of the group watched from the windows.

Aaron is in the car. He is vibing to music, laughing, trying to avoid his problems.

“Shit!” he shrieked.

He knew he fucked up. He knew he fucked up and bad.

Later that night, Zen was sitting in his room alone. He was thinking of Jean.. It was sad for him. He was sitting in his room alone. No one to hug, love, care for. He knew he needed to get his priorities straight. As he rambled through memories with Jean. He couldn't help but think of a few days ago when he and Jean had sex. He couldn't think of a way to pleasure himself. Until…

He slowly reached in his pants and felt himself. He was soft. He closed his eyes and began to think of Jean. Thinking of moments when Jean looked hotter than usual and moments with him and Jean in bed together. He stroked and stroked until he was hard and then sped up gradually. He was moaning and shrieking. He couldn't control himself. He had no one else but himself. He stroked his penis until his body relentlessly started jerking and flinching in every direction. He was trying to hold out on cumming but he just couldn't. The feeling felt nice, new, and pleasurable. That's what he needed in his opinion. He finally slowed down the jerking and pulled his hands out of his pants. He got up from his bed and went to the restroom. He changed and washed his hands. He layed back down and sighed in relief. 

Zen hasn't jerked off since he and Jean got together. He didn't do it before either. He thought it was for weirdos but now, at this moment, his mind has changed.

The next morning, everyone was awake in the living room. 

“Okay, let's go!” Aaron said.

They planned on leaving and moving to a new location in Wisconsin. All of them were doubting this decision except Livvik. He felt like they should've moved to a different state in the first place. The others only wanted to move across the city.

“Shot!” Aaron spat. “Drop me off at pop harvey’s.” He continued.

“Yeah I need to talk to him too!” Zen added.

“No you dont.” Aaron said almost instantly after.

“”I do though!” Zen said, gradually getting louder.

“You dont and you wont!” Aaron said still with a low voice.

Zen knew he couldnt even argue wit him. Both of them are going through unimaginable things right now. Zen just rolled his eyes and forgot about it.
