I never knew I needed you|| Zanvis

Locked Out

Travis' POV~~
It's been two weeks. Two weeks. Zane has yet to talk to anyone. Garroth told me that he hasn't even left his room since we came back from the con. I'm extremely worried. If he hasn't gone out, then has he eaten at all this week?! Has he...been... No. No, Travis, he's fine.... I'll just go check one more time. I stand up and rub my tired eyes.

I'll admit, it's been a couple days since I have slept. Can you blame me though? He just.. shut down out of nowhere. Zane just stopped answering everyone, even Aph and I. It's really got me down lately. What if he's really just trying to avoid me?

I gulp as I shakily knock on the door. After a couple seconds, Garroth opens the door and gives me a smile.

" Has he-? " Garroth shakes his head. I nod and gesture inside. He opens the door and grabs his keys.

" I'm going to go for a drive.. " I'm left alone. I slowly walk up the staires and go up to Zane's door. Saying nothing, I lean my forehead against it. What if he's not okay?

" ....Zane? " Nothing. " Zane? " Nothing. " Zane, you cannot stay in there forever. "

" ..Why not? " My head shoots up in shock. He answered!

" B-because I care too much about you to let you be alone that long. " I hear bed sheets shuffle. I wish he would just open the door. I wish I could hug him. I wish I could- okay I wish a lot of things would happen... But yet none of them do.

" Travis just leave, I don't want to talk. "

" You haven't talked for two weeks. " I feel my words get harsher and harsher. " We have talk eventually! "

" ...I can't. " I hear a small sob come from he other side of the door. " I'm sorry, I just can't ".

I feel my face soften as well as my speech.

" Why?... "

Zane's POV~~

I shove my head into my pillow and sob. It all started the day after our return from the con.

Flashback~

I stare at my screen as the contact Not Afraid texts me. They were annoyed. Very annoyed. I had changed their name just to prove I wasn't afraid, big mistake. That only encouraged them to break me more...

It was simple things at first, calling me names I had pretty much already heard before. But, it go worse. After the names, it was questions that caused me to stay up late thinking about them. I couldn't tell anyone. That would be weak..

Then they moved onto just other ways of breaking down my physic.

Not Afraid: Last night I heard Laurance tell Garroth you were just being dramatic by not talking to them. Garroh agreed.

Not Afraid: Aphmau watched a movie to take her mind off everything. How funny! You can be replaced with silly things such as movies. What a shame.

Not Afraid: I heard Travis and Dante talking Travis said that if you don't stop acting like this that he will break up with you.

End of flashback~~

That last text was from last night. There was more, but I can't even remember what they said. Just like I can't remember the last I ate, or even slept. When Travis came over, I lost it. Full on sobbing now, I can't stop. What if he's lying? What if he breaks up with me?! Unknown was right! They were always right! Why can't I just listen?!

I let out another sob as I hear Travis desperately place his hands on the door. This is not good. Not good at all. I grip my hair tightly and I hear Travis speak in broken words.

" -ne. Please- Door- Not- I care too much- Zane- se- Love. "

Love? I heard the word clearly. Very clearly.

" W-what? "

" I love you! Please open the door! " He pounds on the door but I don't flinch. I stare at the ground and the grip on my hair loosens. I slowly lift my head and stare directly at the door. I hear nothing. However, I see everything.

The cocoa dates, the roof, the words, the meanings. He wouldn't have gone on the dates, he wouldn't have actually said the words, he wouldn't have meant any of it. So why do I want to open the door but can't? I sniff and look over to my phone. Several missed texts from Not Afraid..

Before I can even think, my legs carry me right over to the door. I slowly unlock the door and open it, just to be tackled by my white haired boyfriend. He hugs me extremely tightly.

" Zane! Thank god. " He cries. He seems sleep deprived.. I cry. Hard. All of it's my fault. All of it. I caused this. I hide my face in his neck as we both full on sob.

" I-i'm so sorry! " I cry and he shakes his head. We sit like this for at least 15 minutes before calming down.

" ...Zane what happened? "

I say nothing but break the hug. I slowly reach over to my phone. He deserves to know. I hand it to him and let him read all the texts.

Narrator's POV~~

Travis reads all of the mystery persons text's before looking up at Zane again and tackling him in a hug.

" Trav- "

" Zane.. You shouldn't have listened to them.. "

" I know, I just, thought, you know..."

" I promise they were wrong. I love you so much. " Zane hugs back just as tight.

" I love you too.. "

They say nothing for a while. Zane breaks this silence. " Maybe we should sleep. "

" Not until after you eat. " They both smile.
