26; busted

I try to stay calm at Zach as he slowly pants behind me holding onto my waist. He may think that even though I'm distracted with my own mental issues I wouldn't see his but I did. I saw a few tears slip when he walked off stage even after everything that had happened during the show. He was tired, empty and slowly deteriorating and I didn't know what to do to help. My heart was slowly mending from my father replaced by Zach but his state chipped the edges. The boys were joking around and his breathing wasn't improving. Corbyn was laughing so much but ignored it turning to him his face tilted, the sadness gripped in them. I brushed his muck up hair trying to catch his glance stuck to our shoes.

"Zach..."

"Please let's not talk about it..."

"We need to.""

"I- don't think I can.."

"Well how about you take me on that date first.?" I can see his face changing softly as he nodded wiping away a fear of the tears. I thought he was so care free, wild and nothing could break him but I was wrong.

"Hey Corbitch, Zach and I are leaving to go to the hotel"

"What?-" I mouth date and he goes ballistic nodding as I grab Zach's hand his smile slowly coming out as we exit the dressing rooms while organising an uber.

"Do you mind if we just watch a movie or something, I know its not an awesome date but-"

"It sounds lovely."

The car arrived as we walked out of the venue, us jumping into the back seat my eyes darting at the scenery. I knew this is where my blood belong, Dallas, well I was born here. Seeing the place my mother had loved so much was bring a few pieces of my heart that mum had left broken back into place. The streets felt close to my heart and nothing could break me down in the back of a Black SUV with Zach's hand on my thigh and the world slowly moving outside of the car.

"You are so gorgeous." he whispers chill shivering down my spin as I look toward him his eyes tired but content. I still blush my emotions out of control for this boy, his kiss hits my cheek before trailing to my lips ghosting the sense pulsing through me. A cough broke the trance I was in as I spotted the Uber drivers dark brown eyes staring at us through the rear-view mirror.

"Uh we have reached our destinations."

"Oh thank you" I half laughed opening the door open climbing out Zach right behind me.

"Hey mate" Zach peered into the open driver's window latching onto my hand.

"Um yes?" the driver smirked widely making my stomach sink weirdly

"make sure you use protection." he said rolling up the window driving away quickly, I couldn't do it I lost it. Zach's face the brightest red I had ever seen his jaw dropped still as I began dragging him away. I was struggling to breathe, Zach still in shock.

"Did you hear him?!?"

"Yes" I snickered walking through the large glass doors of the fancy hotel, he kept blabbing about it.

"well he did see us... ah Zach." The elevator shot up from the floor, his hand clenching onto mine tighter then before his lips making a small 'tsk' making me giggle as we reached our floor. I had ever been in a place like this, gold clinging to everything and weird cards opening the door. I knew I needed to go into 'mum motion' after his fit today,

"I just need to go and grab stuff from my room and then we can go to yours," I said as he nodded sliding my card in opening the door. I loved the look of the room and keeping it clean was my only goal, my suitcase still packed tightly and the bed I made in the morning. I was becoming uncomfortable in my jeans so I opened the case pulling out my sweatpants and my camo crop top sweater chucking it on as he went to the bathroom. Pulling my hair up into a messy bun Zach's eyes pierce my side sitting on the bed waiting. I picked up my phone, card and lip balm heading towards the door
