We Go Together (Zack Merrick/ATL)

Quality Time

*Vi's POV*

It was the day after I had been brought to the hospital, and I had just found out I had to stay here until 9 PM tonight. At least the boys were sweet enough to stay with me, even though the doctor didn't approve.

We were all just talking about random things when I had thought of something. The guys confronted me about kissing Zack on the cheek yesterday, the only way they could've known that was if they were spying on us, through the little window in the door. I wanted to see if they'd tell the truth so I asked about it.

"Hey guys? How did you know that I kissed Zack's cheek yesterday?" I said, with a knowing smirk.

I winked at Zack, to tell him to play along. "Yeah guys, were you spying?"

The first one to speak up was of course, Jack.

"Of course not! I just have a special alarm in my brain that goes off whenever it senses kisses."

"So you didn't look through the window that just happens to be at eye level?" Wow, Zack was actually really good at thinking of things on the spot. I'll have to team up with him some time.

At that, the guys suspicious smiles faltered, thinking we were actually made at them. God, they're gullable.

"I'm so disappointed in you all."

Zack looked over to me, and at that point I couldn't control it anymore, and he couldn't either. We both burst out laughing.

Their jaws dropped, and Alex ran up to me and punch my arm, the broken one at that.

"Hey! I'm injured here!"

"Geez Vi, its all about you!" Rian said jokingly.

"Well if you guys didn't try to kill me every time we went somewhere I wouldn't have to be self centered would I?" I said with a giggle.

After that, it got kinda quiet. We were sitting there, Zack on the chair next to me, Alex and Jack on the floor, and Rian on the edge of my bed. My stomach growled, pretty loudly. "Is there any food around here?" I asked "Um, I think I saw McDonalds down the street, want me to go get us some lunch?" Alex volunteered. We all nodded, obviously tired of the hospital food. We all had a bad experience with breakfast this morning. They didn't have much, so we settled on toast and eggs. Yeah, don't have hospital food.

About 20 minutes later, Alex was back with our food, and we ate it quickly, for two reasons. One, we didn't want to get caught, and two, hospital food is gross, so this was a nice change.

After that, the day went by fast. We were all in our own seperate conversations, or in me and Rians case, games. Alex and Jack were in a quiet debate. I couldn't hear what they were saying and that made me upset. I hate not knowing what people are talking about, but I'm not rude so I don't ask about it, at least all the time. Zack was on his phone, doing a Q&A on twitter, while me and Ri were playing 21 questions. Me and Ri were pretty close, I was closest to him out of everyone.

Just as me and Ri ran out of questions to ask, my doctor walked in, telling us it was time for me to be released. But before I left, he told me not to do any activity for a week, besides showering and walking. He said not to play any sports, do anything crazy, or over exert myself.

In the car, I told the boys what my doctor said. I thought they were just gonna go home, and check up on me or whatever, but they surprised me, asking if they could stay for the week. Of course I said yes, they're like my best friends. And if they're gonna help me do stuff then I'd be more than happy to let them stay. Plus, I can get back at Alex for punching me. It didn't hurt, but he needs to think before he acts sometimes. It might actually get him in trouble. By the time we were home, it was 9:45, and no one was even the slightest bit tired. I took the chance to tell everyone how appreciative I was of them.

"Guys, I just wanted to say thanks for everything. Its nice to know that you guys are staying with me in case something happens. Its nice having you guys around. You keep my life interesting. So thank you." I finished my rant, getting up to hug everyone. Some people might think this is weird, but I give really good hugs. I enjoy hugging people, I'm a hugger. After I hugged Jack, Rian, and Zack, I went over to Alex. I opened my arms for a hug, but at the last minute ducked under his arms, which wasn't hard to do, due to my short frame. I ran to my kitchen, hiding behind the wall. He ran in, and I tripped him, making sure to catch him at the last minute. I ran back into the living room and jumped into Zack's lap. I'm not gonna lie, Zack is attractive, like really attractive. I may have a small crush.

Interrupting my thoughts, Alex jumped into my lap, pouting. "I'd hate to interrupt, but Alex, you're kinda crushing us." Zack spoke up. Alex and I got up, feeling kinda bad. "No, you can stay, Vi." Aw, I smiled and sat back down, wrapping my arms around his neck. "Not that this moment isn't cute, but I'd like to know why you did that to me, Vi. That wasn't nice!" Alex was still pouting, waiting for me to reply. "That's what you get for punching me earlier, dick." I said, smiling to show I was joking.

Judging by the headache I had, I realized I shouldn't have run. "Can someone get me asprin? My head hurts." Rian got up, nodded, then left to get me some pain reliever pills.

Once everyone was settled, I realized yet another thing. "I haven't heard any of your songs yet, can you play me some?"

They guys looked at each other, seeming excited to show off their music. After listening to all of their albums, I decided I liked "nothing personal" and "Don't Panic" as my top two.

"Wow, you guys are good!" I clapped, don't ask why, I just did.

"Now that you've heard us, we should hear you!" Fuck you, Rian. I nodded, somewhat nervous, and got my guitar. I don't like playing in front of people, but ill do it if they wanted me too. "What song?"

"TEENAGE DREAM BY KATY PERRY!" Jack requested, quite loudly, may I add. Luckily I knew the song, and began playing the first few chords. Halfway through, I like up to see everyone's jaw dropped. Was it bad? Did they like it? Ugh this is why I hate playing for people. When I was done, they all stood up, and clapped. I guess they liked it then!

Zack ran up to me and engulfed me in a hug, the others following his action.

"How would you, like to be our opening act?" Rian said, with a smirk.

My jaw dropped. It was then, that I realized that I really loved these boys.

Chapter 9? Finished! I don't really know what I have planned for the next chapter but we'll see. I might do another double update. Probably.
