" THIS WEEKEND?" He imploded. Agrivated he kicked at a wall. Jade was going to kill him. She was going to dice him up into miscriscopic peices and feed him to that annoying furry mutt things of hers, a poddle she called it. All he knew was the annoying bark it had.
He wanted to go yell at the top of his lungs after that bombshell. " Okay i'll stop by the office and sign everything. I'll be in the house by the weekend." With an angered expression he stepped out of the house reaching for his smokes now that would destress him considerably more. Lighting up a fag he drew a deep puff anything to calm his neves. How was he going to tell Jade they'd be moving into the house.

Well the only good thing about all this was that he was not going to give up his apartment. He could at least still have that to escape to when things get too bad at the house. They didn't say he had to stay there ever night, he just had to live there and the house was paid off so he didn't have to worry about too many extra bills to pay. Just as he started to calm down his phone went off 'great' he thought to himself as he pulled the phone out of his pocket and looked at the ID. "This is Zarek speaking" he announced and the lawyer started to rattle something off "This weekend. There's no way, that's too soon. Do you really know all the things I would have to do to get ready to move this weekend?" He ran a hand through his hair and stared at the sky "Alright alright I get it. This weekend" he hung up the phone and headed to his apartment.
Walking into the small place that he now called home he pulled out a couple of suit cases. He wasn't going to take everything, just a few clothes, books and of course Lolita. "Loli here kitty" he called and the little fur ball bounded out of his room and right up to him. "I've got some bad news..." he started out with her and then moved through the apartment telling her all about the days events.

He was positevely seething by the time he arrived at the hotel. Running a hand through his hair he closed his eyes leaning against the rooms door. God she was really going to kill him this time. Opening the door he walked in Jade instanty smiling at him. " Hey babe how'd it go?" She asked. Uneasily he sighed. " Well the bastard left us nothing except the house the rest went to charity. Even the money our mother had saved especially for us. " Moving towards Jade he sat down on the bed beside her. " Look...I have some bad news." Instantally she looked at him with a worried expression. " What is it Adam. Is Zarek okay?" She asked worriedly.
Taking a breathe he leant back against the bed. " Yeah...he's fine. Hates me but..he seemed okay." Closing his eyes his hands clenched into fists. " I have to live in the house for six months for me to be able to sell it." He explained. " Your joking right..." Jade asked. " Six months..here. We both left this place years ago for a reason. I don't want to live here." She spoke bitterly. Standing up she stared him down. " Fix this now." Wanting to clear her head she moved away from him headed towards the door. " I'm going for a walk."

"Alright sweetie, I'll be back later" he patted the top of Lolita's head and walked out of the apartment once again. He needed to go out for a drink before he went off the deep end. He had less then two days to get everything taken care of to move into that shit hole. "Hey Lyndi" "Oh Zarek I was just about to come up and see you" he nodded his head but he still felt drained. "Um I've got a bit of a problem" "No problems to big for you" he smiled a little, his landlord always could make him smile even just a little. "Well this one might be a little too big for me but anyways. My father...well step-father has passed away and he left me this house but I have to live in it for 6 months before I can sell the thing so I'm not going to be here often but I will still pay rent here" she nodded her head, he knew that she would understand but she was still his landlord "And Lolita?" "I will be taking her with me, I'm gonna need something to keep me sane" he laughed a little and she gave him a hug. "Thank you"
With that taken care of he walked out of the building and headed to the few blocks to downtown. There he would be able to get a stiff drink that he so badly needed though he would really like to have a companion by his side. He hung his head a little at that, there was no one who could understand him or handle him when he got into his moods. All those years with his step-father really did a number on him and he was so screwed up that even the best therapists couldn't fix.

Great now Jade was angry at him. At the red head took of down the street he grabbed out his phone. Well time to make this happen. His job wouldn't be an issue the lawyer hadn't stated he had to live there all the time so he figured he could drive between home and here. Stay here during the weekends etc.
Well whatever he'd make it work. Dialing his bosses number he waited for the man to answer. " Hey Mark.." He began. " I've had a change of plans. I'll be staying here for a few days then moving back into my old place." He started. " Yeah I know..sudden decision alright." He spoke with a fake laugh. " Yeah cheers mate." He added then hung up the phone. His boss was easy, they were good mates and got along very well. Now to get his shit here. What did he do. Make endless car trips? Or maybe just keep the bare minumin required to live in the house there?

Zarek pulled out his phone looking through his contacts and stopped on his brothers. He had changed his number many times just to get away from his father and never gave his new number to Adam. He had thought about it several times but then he would think back onto when Adam left. Why would he want his number now? His brother walked out on him and never looked back. Since that day he had received not only beatings for just him but his brothers as well. His father always treated him like his brother was still there and took everything out on him. Zarek slammed his phone shut and stuffed it into his pocket. "Like he would care now" he huffed and walked into a bar. "Sir? Id?" He turned around and looked at the doorman. 'It's gonna be one of those night. Shitty day into a shitty night' he thought to himself and handed his Id to him then when he was done he walked up to the bar ordered a whiskey and coke with two shots of tequila. He needed to relax soon before he fell into another attack.

God damnit he needed a drink to help him deal with all this crap. Standing up he tugged on his shoes. The other shit could be dealt with later for now he needed to fix his mental state of mind. Uncaring that Jade had still not returned to the motel he walked out half slamming the door behind him. The bar was a good twenty minutes walk away but rather then get into his car he decided to take the walk. It would probably do him the world of good anyway he figured.
Starting of at a slow paced jog he moved around the streets of his old neighbourhood before quickening the pace to make time. Maybe after a few drinks he'd find a gym to sign up in this place especially as he was about to be spending a lot of time here.
As he jogged his eyes scanned the streets taking in all the changes. This part of town had always been run down and dingy but now it seemed vibrant with new shops and houses around. " Interesting." He mused to himself. It didn't look quite that bad. " Pity it wasn't like this when I grew up." Shaking his head he caught his breathe outside the bar before entering. Walking straight up to the counter he ordered a strong drink before his eyes widened . Shit his brother was here.

Already done with at least seven shots and on his third drink he was feeling kind of good at the moment. "Might want to slow down buddy or you are gonna get in trouble" the bartender walked up to him and handed him his third drink, he smirked at the guy and returned to watching the tv above his head "With a life like mine you'd probably be dead already" he commented lowly to the bartender as he walked away from him. Though it wasn't long before Zarek got bored of the game on tv so he turned to people watching, that's when his mood went from good to sour. He saw his brother walk in 'just peachy' he huffed to himself and got up walking away from the bar. He may have to deal with his brother at their new 'home' but not here in this bar.

It's not like he expected a friendly welcome from his brother but as Zarek walking away from him Adam stood mouth opened some what his eyes wide with disbelief. Really, he was just a little brat. He could put aside their differences work stuff out if he wanted to as they were the only family eachother had but no he was dead set on making things impossible.
So be it. Not acknowlodging Zarek further he got his drink moving to the other side of the room. Picking up his phone he searched through his contacts. " Hey Jade i'm at the bar. Want to have a drink so we can talk this threw?" He asked her.

Zarek sat in the far back glaring at his brother sipping his drink, he was running everything over in his head. Everything that he wanted to say to his brother and should have that day he left. But was Zarek actually going to say it to his brother this time. He finished off his drink and got up from his seat. He bared through the crowd of people straight up to his brother and took his drink from him tossing it off to the side. He disregarded the commotion that came from it. "You have a lot of nerve coming back to this place let only trying to take the only thing I have left by that scum. Do you really think you deserve it after you walked out on me?!" He screamed at him, so maybe he was a little more drunk then he thought "You left me with that thing, your younger brother who could barely defend himself and you just walked away. How could you?" He knew that this wouldn't last long and that he would be thrown from the bar soon but he had to say it.

Adam watched out of the corner of his eye as Zarek pushed his way through the crowd. " Always one for attention." He muttered as his brother threw the drink. As the glass smashed the contents tipping onto the floor he sighed. " Such a waste of a good drink." Turning his head he eyed his brother of. " Go home kid. You've had to much to drink." He said remaining calm.
" I have a lot of nerve. Mum chose that house. It wasn't his. I have just as much right to it as you." He replied growing angry. As his brother screamed at him resisted the urge to just deck the brat there and then. " Watch your mouth." Grabbing Zarek he shoved him against the wall. " Or i'll knock your teeth out."

"Kid! I was a kid then and you didn't care, so why now" he screamed at him, it might have been the booze or just the shear anger of the situation but Adam use to scare him but at the moment he didn't care. "You think you are still scary. Try dealing with that demon of a father all by yourself. Getting the shit knocked out of you on a constant basis and not just enough for one kid to handle but two. When you left I got twice the beatings and twice the pain" He screamed out even louder now and broke Adam's hold on him and placed his hands on Adam's chest then shoved him as hard as he could. "I don't care whose house it was. I lived there the longest, I put up with the most in that place and you just walked away so why don't you do it again and get the hell out of this town before I kill you" Zarek was about to jump his brother but he felt himself being lifted off the ground and moved. "That's enough, not in this bar. Take it some where else" he heard from behind and then felt the pavement break his fall.
With one movement he was on his feet dusting stray pebbles off of himself and straightened his jacket. "To hell with this" he said and started on his way back to his apartment. He still fumed over everything but didn't feel satisfied with yelling at his brother like he thought he would.

Adam was less then impressed by his brothers words and equally annoyed by his actions. " Because I care you stupid idiot. I'm the only family you have." He said venemously. Hands curled into a fist he stared Zarek down. " You think he didn't beat me?" He spoke in disbelief. " You know shit all don't you. " Punching the wall next to Zareks head he stumbled some as his brother pushed him.
" You want me dead huh?" He spoke in a mocking tone. " Do it then. I'd welcome it." Feeling himself restrained he shrugged his attacker away only to be punched in the back. " Fuck me." He growled. As the bar man interfered he gave a curt nod. " Fine." Whatever like he bloody cared.
As Zarek pulled himself into a standing position he brushed past his brother though was somewhat inclinded to agree. To hell with this indeed he thought as he took of down the street.

"You already are dead to me" he whispered to himself as he stuffed his hands in his pockets, he didn't know what to do now. He kept walking even when he got to his apartment he just walked right past it. Things still running through his head 'to bad therapists don't work at night' he thought to himself walking through the business district of the town. "Hell I'm already dead. Been that way for quiet sometime...ever since that man who was suppose to be my father t-" he couldn't even bring himself to accept it, not even after the guys death.
Zarek kicked at a couple of rocks on the ground weaving through the crowd of people. He knew it wasn't his brothers fault for what their father did but he still couldn't help but be angry at his brother for just letting it happen and then walking out on him. He knew that Adam went through hell as well but Zarek couldn't help but feel cheated out of more then half his life and now to this day he is still being cheated.

Angrily Adam took of down the street nearly knocking over Jade. "Adam what are you doing?" She asked in confusion. " Huh?" He asked stupidly. " You asked me to go to the bar with you to have a drink." She explained. " Sorry....can't go back there today." He muttered. " Do I even want to know?" She spoke irritable. " You know you and your brother are awful. Even when I dated Zarek the two of you fought like cats and dogs." Shaking her head she smoothed out her shirt. " okay let's go get something for dinner. What would you like?" She inquired as she lead them through town. " It's so weird being back. Are you sure you actually want to live here Adam?"
