Whispers In The Dark (Avenged Sevenfold)

Chapter Five

-Zacky's POV-

When we got back to the hotel, Brian disapired. Brandy was quiet as well as Cyn. Which, wasnt normal for those two. I knew Cyn was upset about the fact Brian is stalling on asking her to marry him, but while we were calling a cab, something went down between my fiance and my best friend. I knew Brandy wouldnt tell me what it was, so I went looking for Brian. It didnt take me long, to find him down at the bar.

"Dude, what is going on?" I asked sitting on the stool next to him.

He shook his head, "I really dont want to talk about it Zack."

"Brian." I said grabbing his arm, looking him in the eyes, "You need to talk about it. I'm here to listen."

He whipped his face and looked around. He seamed parniod about it, whatever it was. That had me really worried.

"Come on, I guess I'll tell you, since you're my bes friend." He said getting off the stool, "But not here." He got up and started out of the bar. Of course, I followed him.

I followed him all the way out of the hotel and to the back. He went to a wooded area across the street from the hotel parking lot. It freaked me out, but I was ready to be here for him.

"Alright." He said running his hand across his mouth, "you cant tell anyone, swear? Not the guys, not Cyn, not even Brandy."

Now I was really worried. I had no clue what he was about to say. "Spill it."

He looked down at the ground and rubbed the side of his face. "A few months ago I went to this other bar, Perq's Bar. Cyn and I were agruging about something stupid, I dont remember what. I got there and started drinking, had few to many and Michelle shows up. She starts talking to me, telling me she misses me, all this crap. She begged me to go home with her, but I wouldnt. I told her I had fallen in love again, I was thinking about marriage, I was in a happy relationship, but she kepted on begging. She asked me to go to a room so I could talk to her, tell her why I was upset when she found me."

I shook my head and looked up at the sky. I couldnt believe this. I knew what was going to happen. These kind of stories all end the same. "You didnt dude?" I said looking at him disapointed.

"Just listen." He said grabbed my shoulder. He took a deep breath, "I went with her. I told her why I was upset, then she handed me a drink, that she brought with her to the room. I drunk it, not thinking twice. I started to get dizzy and she made me lay on the couch. I felt her kiss me, I shoved her off. I kept telling her no over and over, but she wouldnt listen. She.. forced herself on me. I couldnt stop her, but I wanted to."

I starred at the ground. What he just said, was unreal. It wasnt like every ending to a drunk bar story. He was basiclly raped and hes the one that feels guility. I looked up at him and he was a wreck. Like it ate at him on the inside. "Dude, thats not your fault." I said resting my arm on his shoulder, "You havent told anyone?"

He shook his head no, "Nobody. I dont think anyone would believe me. You have to though. I love Cyn, and I wouldnt hurt her like that."

"I believe you, but you got to tell her." I told him.

He  shook his head, "I cant. I- I jsut cant. It wont do any good."

I sighed and looked at him for a long minute, trying to think what to say. I didnt know what to say. It made my heart hurt, thinking Mich could do this.. It hurt, knowing, what I did.. 

"Swear, you wont tell?" He begged me, snapping me from my thoughts.

I nodded my head, "I wont, but you cant let that stop you from marrying Cyn. She loves you. You love her. You cant just be in a relationship forever. She wants a commitment."
