A Rock Revolution ~ Synacky

Chapter Six

The next day when the green-eyed, snake bitten lip boy woke in the mocha eyed, nose pierced boy's arms, he felt like shit.

He was still exhausted from crying and he was still beyond embarrassed. Zack got out of Brian's strong arms and into the bathroom.

He looked at himself in the mirror and that's when the thoughts came rushing back, hitting the terrified boy like a freight-train.

His knees buckled and he collapsed onto the cold tile of the bathroom floor, tears rapidly flowing down his cheeks.

All he could think about was the embarrassment and shame. The feelings of not being good enough, and of worthlessness, left an agonizing pain that soon left him feeling numb as he cried on the floor.

He wanted to get up and go to Brian, but he couldn't, he couldn't move. He laid there in the fetal position, crying and shaking. He squeezed his eyes tight to try and stop the tears, but it was no use.

He knew that he was weak for laying on the floor and crying like a worthless baby. He had been told it so many times before, by certain friends and family members, and he knew that it was all true.

He was worthless, lonely, ugly and a disappointment, he knew that he didn't belong. No one ever told him that he was good enough.

When Brian woke up he couldn't help but feel a little bit saddened by the fact that Zacky wasn't laying there next to him.

He sighed and pulled himself up off the bed. He started to walk over to the door, and that's when he heard it. The sound that made his heart clench, he had been hearing it all night. It was Zack's crying.

He made his way out of the bedroom to try and locate the sound of the crying. He followed it down the hall to the bathroom.

He looked in and what he saw made his heart burn. "Awe Zacky" Brian cooed in a soft voice, tears forming in his own eyes.

Brian walked over to Zack and scooped him up in his strong arms. He sat up against the wall and pulled Zack too him.

"Shhhh, it's okay baby" Brian whispered as he ran his hands through Zack's raven black hair. Brian let his hands fall down Zack's side as he dipped his head down and kissed the crying boy's head.

He closed his eyes as a few tears fell from his mocha eyes. He hated seeing Zack like this, he wanted him to be happy, to make him laugh. And that was when he got an idea.

"Come on baby" Brian said softly and picked Zack up, carrying him back to his bed.

As soon as Brian laid the smaller male down he curled into a ball and tried to calm down. Brian got up on the bed and laid beside Zack, pulling him into his arms.

Eventually Zack calmed from the torturous crying. He let out a few shaky breaths as he finished calming down.

"Baby, why don't you go get a shower? Just so you can feel refreshed?" Brian suggested.

Zack nodded his head as he rubbed his right eye with a slight pout on his face. He leaned forward and kissed Brian's lips then got up and went into the shower.

Brian pulled out his phone and texted the guys, seeing his idea through. As he set stuff up with the band he waited for Zack to get out of the shower.

He stood under the water for a couple of minutes and just let the steam consume him as the pressures of the stream relaxed his tense muscles.

Dirty thoughts whisked their way into his mind as he thought about what he would do if Brian was in there with him. He imagined Brian's perfect naked body, his muscles, his wet hair. He thought about making out with the taller male under the calming stream of water.
