Holly's POV:

1 week later

"Hey catch!" Jack yells throwing his guitar case at Zack. The boys have a gig opening up for some bigger bands in the Baltimore area. Willingly, I'm tagging along with them, I love watching them play. I hang out back stage with these two while Rian and Alex talk to the other bands. They pluck away at their guitars and tune them by ear. I still haven't talked to Zack. It's been quite awkward at rehearsals lately and I don't like it at all. I miss talking to Zack, he hasn't even tried to talk to me.

"Hey Zack can you come over here when you have a free minute?" I ask, looking as though I need help with something. I actually just want to talk to him. He nods his head and continues to tune his bass guitar. What am I even going to say to him? 'Sorry for leading you on and dating one of your best friends.' Yeah that won't work.

"Whatcha need?" He asks casually, walking over to me and standing about a foot away. Here goes nothing.

"Zack I'm sorry for being a bitch. I lead you on then got with Alex. It was wrong and I'm sorry. I want us to be close again, I hate us not talking." I sound so desperate gosh.

"We're good." He says with a smile.

"Really? Good!" I smile widely and take a step over to him and hug him, he doesn't reject me. "Yay now it's not awkward anymore!" I cheer and Zack hits me lightly on the arm.

"Dork." He says before walking towards Alex and Rian. Alex and him say quick hellos before he makes a bee-line for me. He starts running towards me, like the child he is. As he approaches I open my arms wide and he tackles into me. He literally sends us both to the floor, him on top of me. He kisses my cheek as I laugh.

"Hm this is a familiar position." He says winking at me. No, we have not had sex yet, I promise you that. I roll my eyes and shove him off me to sit up. He gives me a look of hurt than scoots over to me and puts his arm around my shoulders. "So you going to watch us play?"

"Duh, of course." I say easily. He always asks me this.

"Good. Just making sure." He stands up the faces me, giving me his hands for help up. He pulls me off the ground and intertwines our fingers together as we walk towards the guys. Alex starts to do his vocal exercises while tuning his guitar, and I join in with him. I love making the weird sounds with him, occasionally Zack joins in too, but usually he warms his voice up by himself.

Of course tonight they killed it out there on stage. As they come to side stage I'm greeted with sweaty hugs, just lovely.

"So what next?" I ask all the boys as we start to pack up gear and put it in the van.

"After this shit is done, I'm going to take a piss." Rian says, making me scoft.

"We have different plans. We are going into the pit, woo!" Alex says like an adorable goofball.

Soon enough everything is packed up and Alex, Jack and I make our way into the pit. I don't know how they swung this, the band on stage now is more of in the rock genera instead of our popish feel. I'm not complaining though and neither is the boys. Alex walks behind me as Jack leads us through the crowd. We become like a train as people hook on to us to get up front. I love concerts.

We stay stationary as a shoving pit forms, it isn't anything like a mosh pit right now, it's just shoving. Jack runs in there, I'm not at all shocked by that. Alex stays firmly pressed up against me with his arms around my waist so we aren't ripped a part. I lose Jack but keep trucking to the front, he'll find us sooner or later so I'm not too worried about that squirrelly boy.
