Trust me [A Restless Road fanfic]

Chapter 26

(Zach's P.O.V)

Now I know why people get depressed after a breakup. It's horrible. I couldn't even do anything that didn't remind me of her, so I just sat there, alone and in silence, enduring the pain. Colton plopped himself beside me and held up his phone. "Rachel called." He said quietly. "She's doing a cover on 'We were us' open and she wants us to sin with her since we are on tour near her house. You up for it?" He asked. I nodded meekly and resumed my silent ordeal. "She'll come back soon enough, Zach." He muttered after a few moments. "You'll know it." That had been the only inspirational speech I got since the problems started. Everyone else just looked at me with pity. Andrew came to sit next to me. "It's always like that. You either get over it, or wait for her to come back to you. No matter what happens, we'll be here for you. Always." He said reassuringly. Colton looked away at that. "How can the two of you be so sure?" I asked, my voice cracking at the end.

"Because they know what they're talking about." An angelic voice answered my question. Trinity. My eyes widened and I spun around. I swear to god, I nearly believed she was there for me but the bitter tone she used nearly brought me to my knees. "Hey, Trinity." I whispered as I stared at her longingly. A part of me knew she would find someone better than me, but the other hoped she would come back. She gave me a weak smile and turned to Andrew but those piercing gold eyes remained trained on me, staring into my very soul. "I'm still here as one of your acts, so you won't get me away so easily now." It felt as if she was taking directly to me. Come back to me, Tri...I still love you, I'm really sorry...I closed my eyes for a moment after I heard a sharp intake of breath. I sighed. "I said that out loud, didn't I?" i stated, my eyes still squeezed shut. "Do you really?" I heard Trinity mutter quietly and opened my eyes, gazing into hers. "I do." I had always thought 'I do' was only meant at weddings, but this was clearly proven to be wrong. "Please come back to me, babe. I love you, I really do." I sang softly as I took her hand in mine. Andrew and Colton exchanged a look and backed away to give us some privacy but the both of us didn't notice them. "I know I've screwed up and hurt you, but I need a second chance. To show you how I love, never letting go. I'll love you forever, even when you're kneeling at me grave, sobbing after I died from a freak accident. I'd still love you then, even if I wasn't there physically." I watched as tears streamed down her cheeks and she flung her arms around me, sobbing quietly. "You made the words up, didn't you?" She mumbled into my shirt. I grinned sheepishly, even though she couldn't see. "Yeah, I did."
