TITLE: DANIEL AND ZACH
(check a/n at the end of the chapter)

- Can you just shut up!! I'm trying to drive! I'm done with your childish attitude Zach! This is supposed to be a relationship, not a baby and a mummy!

- So I'm the childish one, huh?! I'm not the one who keeps shouting at the other for no apparent reason! Everything I do is wrong for you! If I'm childish, you're immature!

- Ha! Immature?! All I have done is keep this relationship afloat! And you're paying me like this! You're so fucking childish!

- I hate you!

And just as the words reached my ears, I crash into another car, what is next, was a blur for me, a blur that I can't remember.

It was all my fault.
Jack had been crying for days, not eating and not sleeping.
Jonah, had been almost the same, but he kept everything bottled up inside.
Corbyn was trying to keep everyone calm and healthy, but it was almost impossible.
And, meanwhile, I felt nothing.
All I could feel was guilt.
Because of me, Zach was laying in that bed, in coma, small beeps leaving the machine that he was connected to.
His heart was going slower than usual, maybe he was giving up, maybe he didn't want to fight anymore.

As days went by, Daniel started to lose hope, but the boys never did.

Daniel, eventually, gave up on trying, on trying to communicate with him, so he gave up on going to the hospital everyday.

When the boys where out, at the hospital, he would cry for hours until they came back, and he had to act like everything was fine.

The most difficult part, was seeing Corbyn consoling Jack. Since the both of them were dating, the older would console the curly haired boy by giving him a kiss or cuddling, until one of them fell asleep.
And, normally, he would've cooed at those actions, but he couldn't, he felt nostalgic, he missed his boy, his Zach.

But suddenly, his whole mood changed.
Seeing old photos of him and Zach, made his mind click.

Daniel finally realized that Zach wouldn't had let him give up. He would've told him to get to the end, and then rest, be happy, just if he tried.

So he ran, he ran to the hospital, that was kilometres away, but he just ran, like a broken lover whose boyfriend had been gone for years and was coming back, like a best friend when the other is sad, like Daniel reaching out for Zach.

— Zach, baby, please wake up, I'm so sorry, I should've been here for you, I've been blind, and I'm sorry.

Daniel didn't even try to keep the tears inside as he stared at his sleeping boyfriend, the boy who made his days worthy.

Somehow, Daniel regained hope again, he practically went to the hospital everyday, bought a bouquet of roses for Zach every time he headed to the hospital... It was perfect, unless for the fact that Zach was still in coma, but Daniel knew he was trying, and he knew that the wait would be worthy.

Daniel's sudden positivity brought light in the boys lives, the rest of the band got their hopes up again, and everyone was trying, for Zach and for Daniel.

Everything was always calm, and that was one thing that Daniel hated.

Zach used to be really hyper so Daniel felt a bit empty, but as long as Zach still tried, he tried too.

|•|

It wasn't until two month had passed that Zach opened his eyes.

Daniel's hand had been squeezed a couple times that morning but he shrugged it off as if it was nothing.
But it truly wasn't nothing, because Zach woke up only hours later, confused, and with a feeling of regret over his body.

|•|

— I'm so sorry Dani, I don't hate you, I love you, I'm sorry, I really-

Daniel couldn't stand his boyfriend rambling about how sorry he was so he didn't stop the urge of kissing him, and pressed his lips to Zach's.

And in that moment, they both knew that it was going to be okay.
