Hurting More Than Once//Jachary COMPLETED

Chapter 26: Mystery Person?

JACK
The rehearsal was as boring as always. We did a sound check and made sure all the lights were working. We were all anxious to perform and finish. Before we left Zach said he heard Logan say that he was waiting for someone. Maybe Chloe. I don't know. Does he like her? Maybe that's why he didn't answer the question. I might ask him later unless that's wrong, then I won't. Oh well, Zach was looking in my direction as his face goes completely blank. I look over to see someone watching us. I couldn't tell who it was because their face was covered by their hood, but they could still see us. Zach got off the stage and immediately ran to the back. I followed after him, hoping he's alright. "Zach?" I whisper. I see him sitting on the floor, his head between his legs, almost like he couldn't hear me. I sit down next to him and poke his arm. "Zachy, you there?" I ask jokingly. He shakes his head, not moving from his spot. "Did you recognize the guy?" I ask again, more serious. He slightly nods but doesn't say anything. My eyes widen a little. "Can you tell me?" I ask. "M-Micah." He squeaked. Micah. I knew that guy was weird. Has he been stalking us? Maybe. It's not safe here. "I'll be right back." I say, getting up from my spot. He grabs my arm and pulls me back down. "Stay." He whispered. I nod as his grip around my arm loosened. He leaned his head on my shoulder, not saying a word but a slight huff coming from his mouth. Our manager walks into the back stage and asks what happened. I explain that someone was following us and Zach knows him and doesn't feel safe or comfortable when he's around. Our manager nods and goes back into the stage, telling the boys that the concert will be pushed back 2 days., so he'll have to reschedule the other performances. "Lets go back to the room, maybe we can find Chloe and Logan kissing or something." I softly chuckle. He shoots up and starts heading towards the room. I laugh and start walking behind him. We make it to the room and open the door quietly, disappointed to see him in the couch next to her, on their phones. "Ugh." Zach groans. Chloe's eyes glance from her phone and she smiles. "Hey Jack, hey Zach." She chirps. Logan immediately looks up from his phone and gets up to hug us. He sits back down next to Chloe, looking back down at his phone. I roll my eyes and ask, "you want to continue truth or dare?" He instantly turns off his phone and goes to sit on the floor, Chloe following behind him. The boys finally come in and see what we're doing so instantly sit on the floor with us. "Logan, since you didn't pick anyone before we left you get to pick someone." Daniel exclaims. Logan nods and looks towards Corbyn. "Bean! How about you. Truth or Dare?" He asks. "Dare, cause I'm no scaredy cat"." He beams. "Alright, I dare you to kiss Jonah." He smirks. His eyes widen. "On the lips or-" "On the lips." Logan says, cutting him off. Jonah just nods and gives him a small peck. "Lets play a better game, spin the bottle." I smirk. "Oh lord." Zach mutters. I punch his arm playfully and he huffs. Daniel puts an empty sparkling water bottle in the middle. "Bean, you spin first." Daniel smiles. He spins the bottle and it lands on Daniel. He leans in and gives Daniel a short peck. Daniel takes the bottle and it lands on me.

ZACH
Of course the bottle landed on Jack, who else would it land on. Daniel scrunches his nose slightly and kisses his cheek. I sigh in relief l, thanking Daniel internally for not kissing him. Jack spins the bottle, and you guessed it, it landed on me. My eyes widened as I look at the bottle. I turn towards Jack and blush a bright pink. He gives me a short kiss on the lips and bites them slightly while pulling away. I blush a little darker and turn away, spinning the bottle which happens to land on Logan. Great. I give him the shortest peck on the cheek and sit back in my spot. He spins the bottle after and it landed on Chloe, who was surprisingly still here. He grabs her head and gives her a sort of long kiss. Everyone just aw's after they finish. It was almost time to leave, but then everyone decided to play seven minutes in heaven. Great.
