Never Opened Myself This Way- Zacky Vengeance

U.S. Open

Ok, so I had a hard time with this chapter. I got all the way to the end and then my computer decided to be stupid and close my window. When I opened it back up everything that I had typed out was gone. So I hope you all enjoy this chapter a lot because I had to type it out twice. Enjoy! xD Also a big thanks to Kaysie and lucie_gates6661. Thanks for the comments! <3

"Well...", Zack started. Brian waited.

"You know how much I love Gena right? I mean she's beautiful, smart, funny, and she's been through thick and thin with me.", Zack started. He didn't know how to tell Brian about his feelings for Briley.

"Yeah..."

"I think I'm starting to get feelings for someone else.", Zack said.

"Shit. You're getting married in less than a month. This is the worst time for you to start developing feelings for someone else. Wait. Who is it?", Brian said.

"I know. I don't know what to do. I can't get Briley off my mind", Zack stated.

"Whoa... wait a minute. You have feelings for Briley?  You don't know anything about her. You've only known her for two days and you've had two conversations with her, if that."

"I know. What should I do?", Zack asked.

"I don't mean to sound like a dick but forget about Briley. Don't get me wrong, Briley is a sweet girl but you're probably only attracted to her physically. I don't blame you, she's hot.", Brian said pointing towards where Briley was sitting. Zack just nodded. Brian was right. She could be a complete psycho path for all Zack knew. Zack put his head phones on and fell asleep for the rest of the flight.

The plane finally landed in sunny California at 9am. Everyone got all their luggage and went their separate ways. The guys went to their houses. Briley, Tess, Leighton, Ashleigh, and Roxxi all went to Tess's parents house. At the house, the girls each picked their rooms and decided that it was time for them to check out the beach. Briley let her hair down and touched up her makeup. She then changed into a black bikini with tiny white skulls all over them. She put on jean shorts and put on flip flops on and lastly her black aviators. It was time to hit the beach.

It was 1pm when the girls got to the beach. It was packed and there was a surf competition going on. They all found a spot and the bleachers and watched the competition.

"I invited the guys over to have a BBQ tonight.", Ashleigh said looking up from her phone. She could care less about surfing.

"Awesome! Matt Berry is a pretty cool guy.", Leighton said.

"We should probably head to the store for food and alcohol. There's absolutely nothing there at the house.", Roxxi added.

"Alright then. Let's go!", Tess said while getting up and walking off the bleachers.

The girls all went to the store and bought all kinds of food. They probably bought at least one of everything from the alcohol store. When they arrived home, the girls started cooking. Val and Matt were the first ones to arrive at 7:30. The rest slowly made their way to the house. Zack and Gena were the last to arrive and neither of them looked happy. Everyone ate and joked around with each other. They were like one big happy family. Later that night, the guys started a fire. Val, Matt, Brian, Michelle, Arin, and Kim all sat around the fire talking. Johnny and Ashleigh were making out in a lounge chair. Dan and Tess were really hitting it off. Roxxi finally warmed up to Jason. Matt Berry and Leighton were joking around with each other. Zack was sitting on the deck drinking a beer, while Gena was in the kitchen talking on her phone.

Briley decided to take a walk along the beach. She was happy for everyone. They all had someone to love, it made her jealous. Why couldn't she find someone like that? In the back of her mind there was a small voice that kept telling her that she didn't need love. It broke her once before, who says it won't happen again.
