The Haunting of Ashton David Read online

  “I’m talking real issues.”

  “Like what?”

  “I don’t know. Drugs or something.”

  “Are you just making up shit to smooth it over or what?”

  Parker bit the inside of his cheek to keep from yelling at Julian. “No. I think she … I don’t know … never mind.”

  Julian rubbed his jaw where Parker had hit him. “I’m sorry about the punch, and I’m truly sorry about Bailey.”

  “If we weren’t brothers I’d have dropped you a long time ago.”

  “I don’t know what the fuck you mean by that.”

  Julian put his arm around Parker. “I have great faith that one day you’ll recognize your worth.”

  “Again, no idea what you mean.”

  Julian stood. “I came to give you a ride to your truck. Thought we could go to the diner for some breakfast, provided you put on a shirt.”

  Parker felt bad about what had happened, but refused to let the morning’s events get him down. He hadn’t known this chick was the chick Julian was so gone on. And he’d meant what he’d said—the girl who had been in his arms last night was looking for something to make her feel alive. There was some depth to her that made him want to know more. For instance, she hadn’t drunk an ounce of alcohol yet she had those track lines on her arms that screamed abusive personality. He shrugged. Wherever she ended up, he hoped she’d get the help she needed.
