Hurting More Than Once//Jachary COMPLETED

Chpater 16: Car Ride

ZACH
Jonah and Daniel finally got ready and I practically had to push Corbyn out the door. We ordered an Uber and climbed in as soon as it came. Corbyn sat in the front, falling asleep. Daniel and Jonah sat in the middle, probably still mad at Jack and I for scaring them while they were "kissing". I chuckle at the thought and climb into the back, Jack already sitting there. He jumps slightly as I sit down. I laugh at his cuteness. He huffs slightly and turns his head towards the window. It was an hour long drive to the place where we were performing so obviously Corbyn fell asleep for the fiftieth time today. Jonah and Daniel cuddled next to each other, giving each other small pecks every now and again. And well Jack, he sat there, on his phone, not saying a word to me. I snap out of my thoughts as I get a text from Micah.

Micah🔥- Hey, I've got an extra ticket to a concert my sister wants to go to, wanna join me?
Zach💙- I would love to but I've got stuff to do today. Sorry!
Micah🔥- That's fine. Maybe we could hang out another day.
Zach💙- If you were to fly out to LA. I'm just here for a concert and then we have to go to Pennsylvania.
Micah🔥- Oh, I live in Oklahoma but we were visiting family who live in Cali. And since my sister got tickets to that concert, we flew out here.
Zach💙- Haha, that's cool. I actually live in LA with my 4 other friends.
Micah🔥- Cool! Maybe we can hangout before you leave.
Zach💙- Maybe. See ya around. We are apparently stopping at Starbucks because my friend Jonah wants coffee.
Micah🔥- Alright. See ya.
This conversation has ended.
I swear the guy is weird. He just wanted to hangout. At a concert? What are the chances he going to yours. I dont know. And I don't really care. He might be going to the same concert but Roadtrip is also playing here, today, before our show so maybe he's coming to see them. Whatever. As much as I think the kid is nice, there's something off about him. And no, not like he's gay or whatever but like, he just gives me weird vibes. Maybe Jack was right. Maybe. "Zach. Who texted you?" Jack asks as I turn my head towards him. "Micah." I respond. "I still think that kid is weird." He huffs. I roll my eyes and go back to looking at my phone, scrolling through Twitter and Instagram. "Want to take a picture?" I ask. "Sure." He says back blankly. We pose for the picture and he slips his hand around my waist. I flinch slightly but he soon releases after we're done. Is Jack Noodle Head Avery teasing me? Nah. Probably he did it on accident.

JACK
I'm so dumb! I literally just put my hand on my best friends waist. Crush. Whatever. Now I'm over here, facing away from him as I blush bright pink. "Hey Jack?" He says poking my arm. "Y-yeah?" I stutter. "I'm bored and the line is so long!" He whines. I roll my eyes and face towards him, trying to hide my bright pink cheeks. "The lines are always long. Jonah! Do we have to stop for coffee now? We still have to rehearse and Logan will be mad if we're late." I shout/ask at him. "I need coffee. I will not function without it." He responds. "Well maybe if you weren't so busy sticking your tongue down Daniels throat then maybe you would've drank your morning coffee." Zach chuckled. He looks back at Zach and glares at him, cheeks slightly red from blushing. Corbyn laughs a little and Jonah snaps at him. "What are you laughing at?" "Just at the fact that he's right. You were kind of all over each other." He giggled. Jonah moved his glare from Zach to Corbyn and just told the Uber driver that he could keep driving us to our original destination. We all burst into laughter, even Daniel, at the older boys mad face. It was in that small moment that I forgot about everything. Just all of us enjoying ourselves, well, except Jonah, made me happy.
