Baby Love

Ch 2

I woke up a few hours later to Alex slamming the door and yelling that he was home. It startled me so much that I jumped and wouldve fell off of the couch if there wasnt a pair of arms wraped tightly around my waist. "Hey love, how are you feeling," tyler breathed against my neck as I snuggled back into his chest. It was only March so it was still a bit chili, and the warmth he radiated onto my back was wonderful. "Heather wake your lazy ass up babe. You can sleep when your dead." Alex groaned as he walked into my living room. I had made the mistake of giving all the guys a key to my small house and now they basically live here coming and going as they please. "Alex you might want to watch your mouth or youll die sooner than later," i snapped at him before turning and nuzzling into Tylers chest. "Mmm youre warm" i hummed quietly letting my body relax again as he started running his hand up and down my back practically lulling me to sleep. "Heh thanks babe. However, as much as I am truly enjoying cuddling with you we better get up before Alex has a fit." He mumbled quietly his lips ghosting over my forehead. I frowned letting a loud groan escape my lips as I slowly stretched my tired limbs before walking over and smacking Alexs arm. "Whats so damn important that you had to ruin my cuddle time." I whined as I pouted at him. "Rian, cass, zach, and Michael will be here in..." I glared at him as I heard a series of slamming car doors outside and Rians loud voice, "now" alex squeaked as he turned on his heel and bolted for the door. Barely reaching it and opening it before I was able to smack the back of his head. "Alex you little fucking shit" i growled as the others slowly filed past us, "you knew i was fucking exhausted, and you knew i would be sleeping tonight WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU BRING EVERYONE HERE!" To be honest i was seething by now. I was still dirt tired, and All I wanted was to sleep. "Look heaths im sorry but it was actually zachs idea because he hasnt been around you in almost 2 months and he misses..." But I walked off not even caring what his excuse was. I walked into the living room noticing that there was nowhere left to sit and pouted. "Cmere love" Tyler said quietly holding his arms open for me to sit on his lap. I felt my face heat up as I walked over and curled up in his lap instictively allowing my legs to lay over Zachs lap. "Hey kiddo," zach said to me smiling and massaging my calf muscles. I nodded leaning over kissing his cheek, "hey zachy ive missed you." He nodded bashfully continuing to rub my calves. I couldnt help the little squeak that escaped my throat as Tylers arms wound around my waist. I leaned into his embrace relaxing again as Michael laid his head in my lap. "Michael can I play with your hair, pleeeeaasse" i asked quietly suddenly dying to play with the incredibly soft looking hair laid out on my lap. "Um s-sure babe, just dont pull it." He said slowly, and I felt like I was making him uncomfortable as he shifted in front of me laying his head further in my lap. "I-i dont have to if it makes you unco..." I stuttered as I held my hand close to my chest. But he cut me off quickly reaching up and pressing my hand to the top os his head, "Heather you can play with it its fine just be gentle cuz i have a very tender head." I smiled widely as I began softly petting his hair. Loving how incredibly soft and slightly fluffy it was as i gently ran my fingers through the dark locks. Occasionally I would move his fringe around trying different ideas, as the others talked about the tour and all of the "epic shit" we were going to do while traveling. I was falling asleep again when I felt a different pair of arms carefully lift me off Tylers lap. When I turned into their chest I knew instantly it was zach. "Zachy will you stay with me tonight. I know you people wont let Ty stay and I want someone to cuddle... Plus i really missed my big bubba" i pouted nuzzling into his chest. He gently layed me down on the bed before walking into my closet that had a section in the back for each of the guys. Since we werent home that much, and when we were at least one ended up staying here i let them have a section to keep clothes here. He came back in the room a moment later wearing a pair of sweats and a tanktop. I couldnt help but watch as he climbed into the other side of the bed and got himself comfortable before smiling at me and holding his hand out, "cmon kiddo im not waiting all night for you." I smiled letting a small giggle escape my lips as I crawled over and snuggled into his side curling in on him as his huge arms wrapped protectively around me. "Yknow calums been teaching me some bass" i mumbled quietly as I traced a few of his tattoos. "Yeah he was bragging about it last week when I talked to him," he replied smiling and brushing my hair off my face,"he says youre a natural. And Mike and Luke have been going on and on to everyone about how amazing you are on guitar. Though I guess I really shouldnt be amazed,huh little sis?" "'Mnot that good really, I just pick up the notes quickly. The actual playing is an entire different story." I grumble trying to hide my face in his chest. "Im sure youre great heather. I mean reamember how quickly you picked up drums with rian last summer." "Yeah but thats cuz we were just doing simple stuff, basic rythms. With Cal and Mike it full songs. Hell Mikey wants me to learn some 'power solo' thing to play onstage with them when i see them in a few weeks at one of their UK shows." I responded but froze as the anxiety of being in front of thousands of people set in. My body instantly tensed my heart racing and my mind going through every possible situation. Luckily Zach was one of the best at settling my anxious mind, and gently pulled me onto his chest before massaging my shoulders and back while making sure that either my head or hand was placed directly above his heart. The slow steady rythm helping me slow my breathing, and his strong yet nimble fingers worked at relaxing my muscles. I lazily began to relax into him using his chest as a pillow while i continued to focus on his heartbeat allowing it to lull me to sleep. "Sleep tight kiddo," was the last thing I heard before I slipped into a surprizingly peaceful sleep.

I woke up at some point the next morning to an empty bed, but smiled when I saw a cute little note.

Hey kiddo,

Went with the guys to get food, but well be back soon. You need to finish packing since we head out tonight. This week youre with me and Rian.

❤️ zach

Ps Tyler is demanding you ride with them tonight i said id talk to the guys about it...

I mentally cheered at the fact that i wouldnt have to deal with the jalex hotel situation. Those two are soooo messy, and gross to live with especially when they start working on Full Frontal, its unreal. However that also meant that Riach would try to make me work out with them at some point, and leave me sore for weeks. After spending close to twenty minutes contemplating living arrangements i finally forced myself out of bed. I grabbed a pair of skinnes, my favorite Glamour Kills shirt Rian had given me last year, and sneakily stole one of Zachs huge hoodies before walking to the bathroom and taking a shower. I had just finished and was putting the hoodie on when Rian came walking into my room. "Sup heather," he grinned knowingly at my outfit. I couldnt hide my giggle as I snuggled into the jacket loving everything about it from the way that it made feel small with how the bottom nearly came to my knees and the sleeves gave me obvious sweater paws to the way that it smelled like Zach which was oddly comforting. "Ok, so we leave in two hours and the rest of us are basically packed so Im here as usual to make sure youve at least got the essentials. Were not making a store trip for at least three days if we can help it since the rider and hotel rooms should all already be stocked." He said pulling my two full suitcases over to the bed and grabbing my extra duffel from the closet. Luckily for us I had already packed pretty much everything the only things left were my hair tools, and a few other basics. "So Tyler wants you to ride with him and the Issues guys tonight." Rian said calmly as we carried my bags outside to the van that had just pulled up. "Yeah zach said something about that in his note. I want to, but at the same time Im kinda nervous. Like he seems sweet, but the others still kinda have me on edge a bit." I replied sheepishly. Rian gave me a small shove to get me into the van. "Hey heather!" I turned around in shock hearing my favorite baby brothers voice. "LUKEEEE" I flew across the seat and fell into his lap instantly snuggling into his chest. "He-hey heather." Luke breathed running his fingers through my hair. I felt like a tiny kitten nuzzling and snuggling into luke and pressing my head into his touch. "Mm my big sister, but my little kitten. Ive missed you," he said cutely holding me close, "hows the solo coming Mikeys sooo excited to show you off at the london show" "WAIT THE FUCKING LONDON SHOW OH HELL NO I CANT DO THAT THOSE ARE SOLD OUT SHOWS TO 30,000+ people i cant do that." My mind was hazing my vision blurring, but before it got too bad Tyler was pulling me into his lap and almost silently cooing to me. "Shhh love youre ok. Were here right now. That all that matters dont think about then." He said quietly but my anxietyy was still through the roof. "Wh-wheres Zach, or R-Ri. I n-need Za-zach or R-Ri." I shuddered. Almost immidiatly Zach and Rian were next to me. "Z-zachy make it st-stop" I whimpered as the tears began to flow down my face. He firmly grabbed my hand placing it on his heart as Rian got me to focus on only him and Zach as they rambled. Those two were always able to calm me down, "Ri, I cant do it. I cant play in front of that many people... zachy please dont make me do it" i was in full panic mode at this point. Tears streaming rapidly down my face as my heart raced at a million miles an hour. I could feel the nimbness traveling to my head and knew that in a few minutes I would black out. At this point even Zach and Rian couldnt calm me. I leaned forward into Zachs chest my landing in the perfect spot my ear just over his heart. The soothing beat was slightly erratic but still soothing. Almost as soothing as when Tyler and Luke began quietly singing. The combination of their voices was so melodic and soothing that it practically put me to sleep as i nuzzled into Zachs chest. As I slowly fell asleep I heard the others whispering picking up on a few words here and there, but it was enough to know that they were telling Luke not to bring up the solo anymore. The last thing I heard though was from Tyler saying,"I know shes like yalls little, or in Lukes case older sister, and Ive only known her a few days, but Im falling for her... Hard"
