A Song So sweet

A Thousand Fires [Chapter Two]

----> Zacky's picture

Ryder's POV

It felt strange to ride in the car with a man that she didn't know and she sighed as she felt the coolness of the ac hit her in the face. She found herself a bit lost for words being in the same car with Zacky and she rolled her eyes to herself. She was normally better then this she normally could talk to just about anyone, so why couldn't she find her voice right now. Lucky for her she wasn't the one that had to break the silence that was broken by Zacky himself.

"So what are you doing all the way out here in the middle of know where? Doesn't seem very safe to me." my gaze meet  with his sharp green gaze and I found my thoughts leave my mind. This was stupid I shouldn't act like a dumb school  girl around him, I should just act like an adult. Okay so I was fan but I promised myself long ago I wouldn't be one of those giggly little fans that threw themselves at the band members. I had learned from Benji that was one thing most guys in bands hated, well most of them. There were dicks out there that loved having girls throw themselves at them. She let a low sigh push past her lips as she gained her thoughts on to how best respond to that.

"I just needed some time to myself." Looking down at her phone she wondered if Benji would have any idea of what had happened to her. Would Dix have called him and told him everything by now, somehow she didn't think that he did. If he had told Benji she would have gotten a call from him by now, and he would have been asking how out her mind she was. She didn't notice but she let out a soft chuckle at this thought. Clearly though Zacky had been paying attention for he turned his gaze to her's and questioning looking in the pits of his green eyes. Feeling his gaze on her she wanted to turn the attention away from herself, it just all made her so uneasy. "So why'd you drive all the way out here to pick up a total stranger, and don't tell me your just that nice." She blinked her bright blue eyes as she looked at him, as his car finally hit the pavement and left the dirt road behind them.

Zacky simply shrugged, "I didn't have much to do right now. The bands on break and Matt and Syn are busy planning there weddings and Johnny's sleeping right now, plus Jimmmy's to hung over from last night to even stand up straight." That's kind of how the rest of the car ride went neither of them talking much and if they didn't it was only simple things that died quickly. Soon the city came into sight and they were greeted with heavy traffic great this was just great. The normal time back to Benji's from here would have been about 45 mintues now thanks to the traffic it was gonna take about two hours to get there. In that time her phone had died, shit that wasn't good because Benji would be worried about where she was. He was always a bit protective of her which sometimes she enjoyed but other times she found it just annoying.

Finally after what seemed like forever they pulled up into Benji's driveway and no sooner had she stepped out then she was greeted by someone yelling at her. "Where have you been?!" She looked to see Benji running over he looked like a mess and he didn't even pay any attention to Zacky. She felt his arms wrap around her as he pulled her close, yup he really was worried about where she was. He pulled away from her when Zacky cleared his throat loudly, "hey man nice ot see you again." He gave a soft grin to Benji who now realized that it was Zacky and slow grinn came over his face. They greeted each other with a handshake and Benji was quick to invite Zacky into the house who agreed. Ryder let out a sigh and followed the two of them inside, glad to be back but feeling a little sick. She shrugged it off as the heat and closed the door to the house behind her. 

Notes; sorry chapter two took so long been busy with work, but let me know what you guys think, any ideas as to why Ryder may feel a little sick? :) also sorry half way through this changed from 1st person's point of view to 3rd all of the sudden these were written at two didn't times and I didn't notice that.
