Trust me [A Restless Road fanfic]

Chapter 37

(Trinity's P.O.V)

I sat on the couch beside Carmine with Puff on my lap as we watched Catching Fire. The boys were at the studio recoding a cover of Keith Urban's Cop Car and left Carmine and I at the house. I was fine with it honestly, since Carmine seemed like an amazingly new friend. Trusting her seemed easy enough. "So, what do you think?" I asked her out of curiosity. "About what?"

"Your name printed on the covers of magazines, rumors about everything you do spread across the Internet like wildfire."

" I quite like it, actually. Do you not?" She replied in her Australian accent.

"No way! It's annoying. Like, you hang out with your long lost male cousin, everyone thinks you're cheating on your boyfriend. The media get majority of it wrong!" I growled angrily.

"I guess you're right?" An uncomfortable silence settled after her answer. "Have you ever been to any of Andrew and Zach's performances?"

"No, why?" I looked at her incredulously. "You've got to go. There's a show in three days. They're singing a solo each then a duet. It's amazing!" Carmine nodded and I could tell she wanted to go. Grinning as brightly as I could, I pulled her onto her feet. "Let's go pick you a dress!"

After Carmine left for her house, I collapsed onto my bed. I picked up my phone and went onto twitter. Immediately, I saw multiple messages of hate from the relentless haters. It had never bothered me before, but after the day with Carmine, I had let my guard down. For some reason, she reminded me a lot of my mother before she was addicted to drugs. "Those asses," I snarled and I pressed my palms against my eyes as dreaded memories flashed before my eyes. I couldn't handle it anymore. I haven't done it in years, not after my parents were imprisoned, but somehow, I felt the urge to do it again. Grabbing a razor from the drawer, I locked myself in the bathroom.

(Zach's P.O.V)

Andrew and I had just finished our recoding when he told me to hurry home. He had to go meet Carmine for a date or something. Typical, I snorted and headed back.

"What song are y'all gonna sing?" Trinity asked me immediately after I plonked onto the couch. "That'll ruin the surprise." I told her, smirking. "I thought so." She wrinkled her nose cutely and grabbed her guitar. "C'mon, go practice, I'll play." I settled for All of me by John Legend.

"What would I do without your smart mouth

Drawing me in, you kicking me out

Got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down

What's going on in that beautiful mind

I'm on your magical mystery ride

And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright

My head's underwater

But I'm breathing fine

You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

'Cause all of me

Loves all of you

Love your curves and all your edges

All your perfect imperfections

Give your all to me

I'll give my all to you

You're my end and my beginning

Even when I lose I'm winning

Cause I give you all of me

And you give me all of you, oh

How many times do I have to tell you

Even when you're crying you're beautiful too

The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood

You're my downfall, you're my muse

My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues

I can't stop singing, it's ringing in my head for you

My head's underwater

But I'm breathing fine

You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

'Cause all of me

Loves all of you

Love your curves and all your edges

All your perfect imperfections

Give your all to me

I'll give my all to you

You're my end and my beginning

Even when I lose I'm winning

Cause I give you all of me

And you give me all of you, oh

Give me all of you, oh oh

Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts

Risking it all though it's hard

Cause all of me

Loves all of you

Love your curves and all your edges

All your perfect imperfections

Give your all to me

I'll give my all to you

You're my end and my beginning

Even when I lose I'm winning

Cause I give you all of me

And you give me all of you

I give you all of me

And you give me all, of you,"

When I opened my eyes, I saw Trinity with tears in her eyes. "That was beautiful," she told me. I reached out and brushed a tear away. "So are you." I stated in a matter-of-fact. She blushed beet red. "Aw, Zach-" I cut her off by pressing a kiss to her lips. She melted in my arms and my hands dropped to her waist. Her arms circled my neck comfortably as our lips moved in sync. "You know it's the truth, babe." I mummered against her lips. She smiled lightly. "Only to you."
