Dying Embers (Ghost Adventures Nick Groff Aaron Goodwin and Zak Bagans)

Chapter 3:Lockdown

"Hi." He said, I could hear the screaming from the other line,

"You bastard! You turned off your phone." I heard,

I looked at Nick, surprised

"I'll give you some space", I said starting to put in my earbuds,

Nick stopped me and shook his no. After 5 minutes Nick finally just hung up and turned off his phone again.

"You okay?" I ask softly,

"Yeah, never better." he replied with madness faintly in his voice,

"Tell me, you might feel better." I said.

Nick looked at me out of the corner of his eye then sighed.

"My wife.."He started.

"She's been calling me every chance she gets and complains about the sky being blue I swear." He said.

"I'm sorry" I say.

"The only reason we're still together is because of Annabelle." He said.

I looked at him, and tried to think of something to tell him but nothing. We pulled into Zak's driveway,

"Wanna wake up Zak? I'll get Aaron." Nick said. getting out of the van.

I got out of the van, Nick just opened the door to Aaron's side and he woke up. I opened Zak's door, he looks so cute when he's sleeping.

"Zak." I say poking him.

Nothing.

"Zakkkkk" I said louder shaking him, his hand came up and swung around,

"GAH!" I managed to say as I ducked just missing his hand.

It swung into the door frame, then he woke up and just looked at me.

"You suck at waking up." I say, he just looked at me with tired eyes.

I helped him out of the van and into the house. He slowly tried to walk to the stairs,

"No way" I say re-routing him to the couch, we barely made it before he fully passed out and collapsed on the floor.

I looked at Aaron and Nick,

"Whoops" I said they chuckled and grabbed some blankets and a pillow.

I looked at Zak curled up on the floor, I couldn't help but take a picture.

"Well goodnight Ashley, we'll be in the rooms down the hall if you need anything." Aaron said,

"Night guys" I said giving Aaron a hug, he started to walk to the door when I hugged Nick,

"I'm sure it'll get better" I whispered in his ear.

He nodded his head and started to walk down the hall, I watched him as he turned in his room. I walked to the front door to make sure it was locked. I walked up into my room, and shortly fell asleep.

"I'm actually here" I thought

I woke up and saw Zak standing in the doorway shirtless and with cargo pants on, with a plate with eggs,

"Here, I made these for ya. We leave in an hour." Zak said, handing me the plate and walked out.

"Oh!" he said turning around and leaning on my door frame,

"Wanna explain why I slept on the floor?" he asked, I looked at him,

"You passed out and there was no way I could lift you up the stairs, my aim was the couch but you passed out." I said smiling.
