Hurting More Than Once//Jachary COMPLETED

Chapter 5: A "Better" Day

JACK
It was finally the next day. I turned around to find a snuggly Zach, lightly snoring. I chuckle softly and break from his embrace, trying not to wake him. As I finally get out from under his arms I notice he has bandaids on his wrist. How did that get there? Did he...? No, he couldn't have. He hasn't done it since his dad, never mind. I wanted to wake him up and ask him but then he'd probably get angry at me, so I decided to let him sleep. I tip toe to the bathroom, close the door and turn on the shower. I take off my clothes and quickly hop into the shower, wash my self, then get out. I wrap a towel around my waist and head into the closet. I put on underwear, pants and a sweatshirt. Once I got out I saw Zach sitting up looking at his phone. "Hey Zach-"I was cut off as Corbyn, Jonah, and Daniel burst through the door. "WAKE UP SLEEPY HEADS! YOU'VE SLEPT ALMOST FOR TWO DAYS AND ITS TOUR DAY SO GET UP AND START PACKING!" They shouted together. I hear Zach groan and start to get up. Almost flopping back on the bed. I laugh at the sight of the boys rushing to get packed. I had already packed since I knew I the boys weren't gonna be ready in time. We all jumped into the Uber with Corbyn in the front, Jonah and Daniel in the middle and Zach and I into the back. I noticed he was wearing long sleeves but he never does that unless it's a sweatshirt. But even then, he usually rolls up the sleeves. "Hey Zach, can I ask you something?"

ZACH
"Hey Zach, can I ask you something?" I turn my head to see the boy with a worried expression. "Sure." I try not to sound as sad. He points to my arm. "Why are you wearing long sleeves? You usually never wear long sleeves, even when you do, your sleeves are rolled up." He questioned me with a firm voice, determined to get an answer. "I'm cold." I lied. Should I tell him? It might make things worse. Maybe he already knows. But how would he? Before I could react he grabs my arm and rolls up my sleeve. My eyes start watering as he looked at my scars. "Why?" He murmured. I tear fell from my eye. He probably knew I was about to cry because he pulled me into a tight embrace. More tears fell but no sound came out. Everyone was literally jumping in their seats because they were excited to go on tour. But me, I was silently crying into Jacks shoulder. "Why..." he asked calmly. "I-I just don't deserve this life I have..." more tears fell but still no sound. He tightened the hug. "I don't deserve you, the band, the Limelights, my family." I started quietly sobbing. He pulled me up and lifted my chin so my head was facing directly towards him. "You deserve everything that you have. You have worked for it. God blessed you by you joining this group and making the 5 closest people in your life love you. (In a brotherly way of course because Jack is being dumb right now and won't admit his feelings.) the tears slowly stopped. I crack a small smile, trying to resist to kiss him. He let go of my chin and my smile slightly faded but was still there. I turned my head back towards the window, thinking about how he held me, and even embraced me. Even if it was brotherly love, I wanted it to be more. I guess the other guys fell asleep or something cause there were small snoring and Daniel resting his head on Jonah's shoulder. Obviously they liked each other but won't admit it.

JONAH
Man, Daniel is so cute. I like look down at his resting eyes and his brown locks of hair. I gave him a small peck on the forehead and put my head over his. I think Zach thought everyone was asleep because I heard him crying, not the conversation, just the silent sobbing. I let that thought drift away as I fell asleep.

A/N: Hey guys! I think I published slightly early i dont know. I was studying for my midterms and couldn't upload earlier. Also, thanks for making me laugh. That comment was confusing at first but then I got it and started laughing super hard. My friend looked at me and she's like, what happened? What are you laughing at? And I'm like oh nothing. Thanks for making that part of my day 10 times better. ❤️❤️ Also love getting feed back. So I'll answer questions or consider ideas if you would like me to. Have a good day! "It's not goodbye, its see you later."
