A Song So sweet

Tell Me Your Shadows (Chapter Three)

---> Benji's picture

Zacky's POV

This girl called Ryder wasn't at all what Zacky thought she would be, so was cute, not drop dead hot but he could see why Benji was with her. She was young that was for sure and shy and acted very much like an adult but she did have an attuide. She didn't say much on the car trip which made him smirk, Jacoby had told him that she was a big fan of the band, and he could see that she was holding back some childish urge that many of their fans greeted them with. He admired her control and unwillness to try and start something with him. After his divorce Zacky was a little bit weaker in the mind, and wasn't at all happy with his wife cheating on him. He had left her and had little contact with her only to sort out papers. Thank God they had no kids so spilting up was easy enough, if it could even be said it was easy. He was torn and hurt that his wife would turn on him like that, and everyday he got up was a reminder of it.

I wondered how Benji would take her being late and I got my answer when she got out of the car and was greeted by him right away. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close and she didn't seem to mind. But I could see how that could get annoying and finally I decided to drawn attention to myself. It worked and snapped Benji's attention to me and I saw a smile spread onto his face. We were good friends with everyone from Good Charlotte and I must say that I loved hanging around with Benji he had a stable mind and wasn't falling down drunk every two seconds. I shook his hand and he intived me inside which was easy I told him yes.

We made our way into the house with Ryder following behind us she seemed much more relaxed now then she was before. I heard her call something out ot Benji and he smiled and lead me to the living room. It huge room with a large tv and big gaming system, the couches were fancy covered with leather, and lined up. They only had two colors though red ones and then black ones, yup that was totally Benji he was a lover of red and black. That's when it dawned on me, his girlfriend had been dressed in all black with red and black hair, and chains on her side, with tattos on her arms. I smirked to myself she really was a rocker kind of girl, and that should be expected from him. He hated girls that were really girly and often went for the goths or the rockers.

"So what are you guys up to today?" I vocied the question as Ryder came back into the room holding a small Border Collie puppy. I couldn't stop the grin from spreading onto my face, puppies were always so cute. I loved all kinds of animals but my weakness were puppies, they were just the cutest thing in the world. I heard Benji chuckle a bit as he motioned to the dog. "Well Zacky, meet Zacky." I blinked as my eyes became wide the dog had my name. Ryder wasn't looking at me and Benji had a sly grin on his face, "she suggested the name and I liked it. Oh and were going to Joel's in a little bit wanna come with?" I took a second to pull my thoughts together, "I'm honored." I really was, it wasn't everyday that someone named there pet after you, even if you were in the famous rock band. He asked if I wanted to go with them to Joel's in a little bit, "Oh, nah I'll you guys go, after all I should catch up with the rest of the guys." I got up from where I was sitting and waved bye to Ryder and gave Benji a hug before I made for the door.

As I got outside I heard footsteps behind me and turned around to see Ryder as she looked at me. I flashed her a smile as spoke to me. "I'm gonna call a tow to pick up my mustang so you don't have to bother with it." Her voice when she told me this was tight and her she didn't make eye contact with me. It puzzled me, why didn't she want me to stay so strongly away from the car. Normally I wouldn't question it because it was her car, but something about it didn't feel right. But I wasn't about to let her know that, I gave her a nod. "I hope you get it fixed, its a nice looking car." With that I got into my car and pulled away from the house. Making my way back I decided that I was gonna go back to the car. I know it's wrong and I have no right to look, but something in my gut was screaming at me to go back. Something was wrong, and I wanted to find out.
