The BoyBand Project- Loving Zac

Insecurities

ZAC'S POV

I started writing the song and smiling to myself. Deciding to take a break, I checked Instagram to see of she liked the picture. She did. I knew it didn't mean anything but for some reason I got super excited. I felt like I was trying to win my first date with her all over again. It felt like I never had her at all and I had to chase all over again. Yet none of that mattered because I'd chase her across the world, she wasn't getting away from me. Laying down my guitar, I laid back in the chair I was in and Nic walked into the room.

"What's up?"

"Nothing, I was writing a song."

"I would ask for what but I don't care. Where's Mira? I haven't seen her in a while..."

I cracked a smile. It was funny because they had a secret love/hate relationship. He just refused to admit he actually liked her personality.

"We broke up bro."

"Haha no seriously where is she?"

"Bro. We broke up."

There was a moment of silence and Nic walked out of the room, closing the door behind him. Just when I thought I was alone once again I heard his voice from outside the door.

"Fix it."

I rolled my eyes.

"Working on it bro."

I let out a laugh and shook my head. Kids. Deciding that staring at the wall wasn't a productive pass time, I threw on what Mira called my "swaggy pants", a shirt by Popular Demand and a floral print snap back on before grabbing my keys and heading to my car. I didn't know where to go so I thought I'd chill with some people I hadn't seen in a while.

"Zacy Babes!"

"Hey Brogan, what's up?"

"Nothing, hanging out with Kylie and Brandon . Why, what's up?"

"Nothing, Im bored so ima head over, I haven't seen you guys since.. two days ago haha."

"Haha omg right, forever ago. Well okay cool, were at my house."

"Alright, see you in a bit."

•••••••••••••••

"ZACCCCCC!!!"

Kylie ran full speed towards me and hugged me tightly almost kissing me but I turned my head. I didn't think anything of it, I couldn't. It was Kylie. I knew both Brogan and Brandon saw but I was glad they chose to ignore it. Are all girls dramatic or what?

"Ayyeeeee! "

Letting go of her I repeated the same process with Brogan and then said hey to Brandon.

"So what's up?"

Brandon was the first to respond, grabbing his hoodie.

" Im about to head out with ..uhm.. this one girl."

"Oh ..okay. Bye bro."

Shrugging my shoulders I turned my attention to the girls, swinging my arms over their shoulders, and followed them to the kitchen.

BRANDON'S POV

As soon as Zac was in the house I called Mira.

"Hey Brandon what's up?"

"Nothing leaving Brogan's house, where are you?"

"Ooooo Brandon and Brogan sitting in a tree! Hahaha I ship it. Anyways, I'm just at starbucks."

I couldn't help but get red.

"Ha. Ha. Shut up, which Starbucks?"

"The one by my school."

"Oh shit I forgot you live out there...."

"It's okay, you don't have to come, you can go cuddle with Brogan."

"Haha nah here I come."

"Okay I'll probably just be at the park by my school since it's gonna take you two hours. Wait why are you coming?"

"We need to talk."

"About..?"

"Zac."

I could hear her take a deep breath, it wasn't a comfortable subject for either one of us but Brogan and me both saw something a few minutes before that I had to tell Mira but not over the phone.

"Ugh. Fine, hurry up."

"On my way."

Hanging up the phone I started the car. Mira was either gonna love me or hate me for this.

••••••••

I walked slowly to the swing sets where I could see Mira staring off into the distance.

"Mira."

"Oh hey Brandon! Take a seat."

She motioned towards the swing beside her and I sat down.

"So what did you have to tell me?"

"Oh me and the boys are performing soon. At Disney land."

She was a little shocked by the hesitation in my voice, I could tell. She raised an eyebrow like she was waiting for the bad news.

"Oh I don't get a congradulations?"

I jokingly shoved her making her swing rock back a forward.

"Uhm not until you tell me the rest. You didn't drive two hours away from you're secret babe Brogan for that. There's more, I know you."

I laughed and took a breath and watched it come out as a cloud in front of me.

"Well good news and bad news."

"Ugh good news first."

"Well I'm taking you to Disney land so you can see us preform!"

She suddenly embraced me in a huge hug.

"Awh! I love you Brandon! Thank you! Now that was way too amazing, I bet I'll have to kill you over the bad news."

She was joking but I laughed nervously anyways.

"Uhm.. well..."

"Come on you can tell me anything."

"Well.."

"Brandon."

"Fine Zac came over Brogan's and.. well... Kylie tried to kiss Zac."

MIRA'S POV

My heart froze and I shook my head. Surprisingly I wasn't mad at Zac. I couldn't really be mad at Kylie either since we weren't like 'best friends forever'. All I could do was stare and shake my head.

"Why... why did you drive here to tell me that?"

"Because I knew you'd need me."

He was so right. He moved over in the oversized swing and I came to sit next to him. I never knew I was that skinny. Laying my head on his shoulder I coached myself not to cry. I wasn't upset that a girl was after Zac, that was an obvious that lots of girls were. It was the fact that it was Kylie. She was the beautiful tumblr girl type amazing and it shows how much better he could do. How many choices he had. And I didn't have to be one of them. In the end, he didn't have to pick me. And it all started with an ex best friend and a blog.
