Trust me [A Restless Road fanfic]

Chapter 4

(Zach's P.O.V.) [29.11.2013]

I lazed on the couch with Andrew and Colton beside me, both on their phones while I stared off into space. We had just finished our special Thanksgiving song and found out who had to go home. Surprisingly, Lillie McCloud had the lowest number of votes. Then, Josh Levi had the second least number of votes and was sent home. Josh and I were good friends and I was going to miss him. Well, I should be happy we got through to Top 6 but I couldn't stop thinking of HER. I know, I'm just a sappy freak who can't stop thinking of that one person but won't say her name.

"Hey, Zach. Can you go on (Whatsapp) ?for a minute?" Andrew asked suddenly, interrupting my train of thoughts.

[I dunno if people in the US use it regularly, since I don't live there...if you don't, ignore it and insert something else in the brackets above.]

"Uh, why?" I replied, puzzled.

"I'm just bored. Colton's already making a group chat or something with Alex and Sierra, I think."

"Fine then." I agreed and opened the app. Colton had already made a group chat and the strange thing is, all of us were sitting within five meters of each other. Alex and Sierra were literally on the couch opposite us.

The group chat

C: Colton A:Andrew Z:Zach X:Alex S:Sierra

A: So, Zach, about that girl...

I took a look at my phone and rolled my eyes.

Z: Dude, we are literally less than 5 meters away from each other to talk about things like this and you make a group chat just to talk about 'that girl'?

S: What girl?

I sighed. Perfect. Thank you, Andrew. I just needed more people knowing about this, I thought to myself sarcastically.

"You're welcome." Andrew said suddenly.

"Did I just say that out loud?" I asked, confused. He nodded and turned his attention back to his phone to answer Sierra's question. I just left the group and jammed my phone back into my pocket. I really had enough of this 'girl talk'. Just as I finished jamming it into my pocket, my phone buzzed again. I took it out, knowing there was a 99% chance of them adding me into the group again. Fortunately, I was lucky to have gotten that 1%.

Trinity: Hey, are you free? I'm bored outta my mind.

I smiled to myself.

Z: Wanna meet my annoying best friends?

Trinity: You kidding? Of course! I'll be there in 5. Stay on that couch and DON'T move.

I had gotten up to go get her but after reading her text, I sat back down. I was sure I had a shit-eating grin on my face but I quickly wiped it off. Whoo!

"You've got that look again..." Colton said as I sat down. He squinted and a lightbulb appeared at the top of his head. Literally. "You've invited her, haven't you?"

I smirked. "Jealous much?" I asked.

"Nah. I just wanna meet her."

"Your wish is granted?" I heard a very familiar voice say. I looked up and saw Trinity standing there, laughing at the reaction on everyone's faces. Seriously though, how'd did she get here so fast?

"Surprise." I said. "Meet Trinity Lynwood."

"Hey, are you all up for a game of truth or dare? Just to get to know each other more?" She asked us. We all agreed and sat in a large circle while Alex placed his bottle in the middle. He spun it and it turned to Colton. He grinned evilly. "So Colton..." He started to say. Colton gulped. This was going to be a long game of truth or dare...
