Thick and Thin (Avenged Sevenfold FanFic)

Chapter 9

Kate's POV

I woke up to the sound of talking coming from down stairs. I opened my eyes and slowly

realized where I was.

I was laying under Brian's arm, with his chin rested on my head. He was snoring. It wasn't the

annoying kind of snore, it was the kind of soft, somewhat comforting snore. Yes, I'm comforted by someone snoring softly, deal with it.

I smiled to myself and pulled myself closer to him, if possible. He stirred a little before giving

me a squeeze and settling back into his constant snores. I closed my eyes and just listened. The rhythm of his breathing made me happy, it was something constant and it was at a steady pace.

I was kinda off in my own little world when I heard his door softly open. I figured it was Papa

Haner so I didn't bother moving. I heard the door close again so I figured he left the room.

I brought my attention back to Brian's breathing when I felt another pair of arms wrap around

my waist. I tensed up because I knew it wouldn't be Papa Haner if I turned around to look. I felt a mouth come up to my ear and I closed my eyes as tight as I could. "You're really cute when you sleep, you know that?"

I let out a deep breathe, "Fuck. Jimmy, you scared the shit out of me." I moved my arm off of

Brian and hit Jimmy. "And I wasn't sleeping."

He chuckled in my ear before giving me a squeeze. I managed to turn over under Brian's arm

without waking him. His thumb stroked, what was know my stomach instead of my back, and pulled me closer to him, burying his face in my hair in the process. I smirked as Jimmy made a pouty face and pulled his arms away so they weren't being stretched out.

"What are you doing here, Jimmy?" I couldn't believe we had slept for three hours, I didn't

know I was that tired.

He smiled, "I wanted to make sure my best friend and my new best friend were okay, and

weren't fucking." He winked when he finished the sentence. I buried my face into the pillow and shook my head.

Jimmy held my hand and traced circles on the back. "Zack's here…" I looked at him, he was

watching his thumb trace the circles on my hand.

"I- I don't think I'd be able to get up…" Jimmy smirked before letting go of my hand.

And before I knew it, I was standing next to Brian's bed and Jimmy was under Brian's arm,

his back to Brian's chest. I smirked and shook my head at him before heading out the door.

I walked down the stairs and saw Matt sitting at the dining room table with Papa Haner and

Zack was sitting on the couch, looking depressed.

I let out a deep sigh and walked over to the couch. I sat right next to Zack, leaving about an

inch in between us. I pulled my legs up under me and leaned on him. I started picking at his shirt, "What… what happened?" He fidgeted a little before telling me what happened.

Zack's POV

   *flashback*

Kate turned away and walked back out the front door of the school. I turned around and

headed towards Jamie's locker. I reached her locker and she wasn't there, so I went to find her at her friend Amber's locker. She was with her usual group, laughing, being loud, I just grew more pissed.

I walked through the group and dragged her out of the middle by her arm. "Zack! Zacky let

go! What are you dong? You're hurting me!" I let her go once we were away from her group.

"Why?" I stared her in the eyes, she was confused and just shook her head. "Why did you do

it?"

"Do what? What are you talking-"

"You cheated! You fucking cheated on me! Why?!"

"Who told you? I've been hooking up with the football players for almost three moths now

how-"

I let go of her arm. If we were in a cartoon, smoke would be coming out of my ears and my

head would explode. "I'm done with you!" She opened her mouth to protest, but I cut her off. "I don't want anything to do with you!" Then I walked away.

I fought back tears and managed to keep from throwing a tantrum the rest of the day.

   *end of flashback*

"I… I trusted her… I loved her." I said to no one in particular.

I had forgotten that Kate was leaning on me until she moved. She looked up at me and wiped

away the tear that was running down my face. I hadn't noticed I was crying.

"I'm sorry Zack." Kate shrunk down and buried her face into my arm and held me. I didn't

move. "I wish I  could just start this day over…"

"It wouldn't change the fact that she's been doing this for-"

"No… but I wouldn't have made things worse for you…"

I looked down at her, her face was covered with guilt. "It isn't your fault. I'm… glad Sarah

told you… told me. And you were right to stand up for Sarah."

"I went over board though. I shouldn't have-"

"Don't." I pulled my arm out from under her and wrapped it around her, pulling her closer to

me. I buried my face into her hair and just sat there.

"I'm sorry." I barely heard her whisper it, but I heard her. I rubbed her back and kissed the top

of her head before pulling out of the hug. She looked up at me, there was still guilt on her face, but there was something else too.

"Can… can we just… start over?" I hesitated before answering, causing her to look down and

start picking at my shirt again. Why did I hesitate? I probably just made her feel worse. I grabbed her hands to make her stop picking. She looked up at me, that look of hope that was in her eyes was gone.

"Yes." Was all I said. She gave a small smirk before laying her head on my chest. I just held

her. Starting over sounded good, but what we heard from upstairs didn't sound so good.

"JIMMY WHAT THE FUCK?!?!"

Kate giggled, "Sounds like Brian's awake."
