We Go Together (Zack Merrick/ATL)

Getting To Know The Guys

*Violet's POV*

When we got to my apartment complex, the guys and I were arguing over which sucked more, splinters or paper cuts. Yeah, it was pretty interesting. I interrupted their bickering and asked if they wanted a drink. They nodded, just asking for a soda or water.

"Make yourselves at home!" And that's exactly what they did. Rian sat by himself in the recliner, while Alex and Jack sat on my couch, with Zack on the floor. I didn't want to sit on the hardwood floor so I just laid across Alex and Jacks laps.

"What are you doing?" They asked, at the same time. "I'm getting comfortable" I said, like it was obvious. I guess they didn't like my answer, so they pushed me off the couch. I braced for the impact of the hard floor, but instead I landed on Zack. I looked up, and saw everyone, including Zack holding in their laughter. Finally, I couldn't take it and just burst into giggles. The chorus of laughter that followed told me that these guys were gonna be here for a while.

Jack settled down, and broke the comfortable silence. "So, tell us about yourself!"

"Well, uh, I'm 23, my favorite color is blue, I like photography, guitar, and I also sing a bit. I have a job at the local animal shelter, and I couldn't love it more. As stupid and unrealistic as it may sound, I really want to tour around the world and show everyone my talent. That way, I can travel, take pictures, and still play guitar. I was originally from Connecticut, but then moved to North Carolina when I was 10, and after high school I moved to LA. Oh, I also enjoy changing my hair colors. A lot." I finished, with a grin on my face.

"What kind of music do you like?" It took me a second to figure out who asked this, considering I was in a day dream. It was Rian.

"Basically everything but heavy metal, dubstep, and country."

I guess they didn't have anything to say to that because they just smiled. Alex turned to Zack and Rian, and asked if he could talk to them for a minute. Confused, they all walked outside into the hallway. Jack turned to me with a suspicious grin on his face. Should I be scared?

*Alex's POV*
"Should we tell her that we are in a band?" That was why I asked Rian and Zack to come outside with me, so we could discuss this without her hearing. Jack didn't come for a reason. While Vi was getting us our drinks, he told me he wanted to ask her about Zack. So yeah.

"I think we should, like what if she freaks out when we tell her that we are leaving for tour at the end of the summer? She could hate us if we don't tell her."
"I think Zack is right." Rian spoke up.

"So its settled?" I asked. They both nodded, and we headed back inside.

*back to Violets POV*
"Sooooo, what do you think of Zack?" I blushed before answering.

"He's cute. And really cool. I could definitely see us being good friends." Why was he asking me this?

"That's it?" He looked disappointed. "Well yeah, I only met him today! How am I supposed to say anything when I don't even really know you guys?" I laughed, still confused.

"Just asking!" Should I be worried?

*an hour later*
We had just finished playing 21 questions and I learned a lot about the guys. They're pretty cool.

They all sent each other nervous looks, trying to be discreet. It didn't work.

"Guys, are you okay? What's going on?" I hoped they liked me, I mean that'd be pretty awkward if they decided that they hated me.

"Um, we have something to tell you" Alex replied. I nodded, so he continued. "Were uh, we're in a band." That's what they were nervous about? Why would that change my opinion on them?

"Oh cool! What's the name of it?" I asked.

"Wait, you're cool with this?" Zack seemed shocked.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be? And you guys didn't answer my question!" I laughed.

"Oh uh, we're All Time Low, and we were scared because we didn't want you to freak out about it or anything. And before we forget, we wanted to tell you that we are going on tour at the end of the summer...." Jack replied. Still sounding quite nervous.

"Wow. So you guys are doing a US tour?" They really should explain some things better.

"Not quite. Its actually a world tour. We are going to Europe, Asia, Australia, and even a little bit of South America and Africa. We don't have an opening act yet, but we still have time." Rian finally answered my question.

"So I'm friends with a famous band?" I asked, smiling from ear to ear. "This is so cool!" They just laughed.

"So you're sure you're okay with this?"

"Of course! Its just something else I can cross off my bucket list!" I don't think they thought I was serious, judging by the laughter escaping their lips. Oh well. "WAIT! I HAVE AN IDEA!"

"Shit." They all chorused. I think they know me a little too well, I thought to myself with a silent chuckle. "Its not bad. Zack, can you come help me?" They all whistled as I asked this, and I replied by flipping them off, and grabbing Zacks hand. I handed him 3 champagne glasses, while I took the other two, due to my broken wrist. We walked back to my living room, and I realized I forgot the most important part of this whole idea. Champagne. Duh. I ran back and grabbed it, pouring some into our glasses. I raised mine, the guys following my action. "To new friends, new adventures, and a new beginning!" I yelled. Before I could take a sip, Jack yelled "TO ZIOLET!" I laughed so hard I almost spit my drink out. "What the fuck is 'ziolet'?" I asked. "You and Zack's ship name! Duh! Come on Vi, catch up!" I didn't even care that I was blushing. I just laughed it off.

"Have you guys ever played 'Never have I ever'?" I asked, with a devious smirk. They all shook their heads.

"This is where it gets interesting!"

Hey guys! I hope you liked this chapter, I'm doing a double update today so the next chapter might be short, but its them playing never have I ever.
