My Brothers Friend || Zach Herron

Lately You Haven't

*Y/N POV*

I ended up actually falling asleep and regretted it immediately. I woke up with a headache from sleeping at a weird angel and my eyes were puffy from crying.
I shouldn't have fell asleep, now I'm gonna be awake all night and it's gonna throw me off tomorrow at school.

3 hours later, I looked at my clock and it said 6:30. I stared at my ceiling, not knowing what to think about
I heard a faint knock on my door 
"Y/n Are you still awake?" Corbyn peaked his head into my room.
"Yeah" my voice was strained from crying. I sat up and patted a spot next to me. He came over and sat down. He looked worried and scared.
"So I'm gonna go straight to the point" he placed his hand on my knee.
"Ok" I gave him a confused look.
" You know you can't date any of the boys right"
"What?" That came out of nowhere.
"You shouldn't be with them like that" he had a straight face so I couldn't tell if this was a joke.
"Where is this coming from, I have never, you know I never, im confused" I was so confused, did he figure out about Jack?
"What about zach" his face finally found emotion. Oh good, it wasn't jack.
"He was just helping, nothing more"
"Then what was he doing up here"
"Oh so you did notice." Did he really not know?
"What are talking about"
"I left the room, I didn't say anything after you guys announce you were moving to LA. He wanted to see if I was ok." I was getting frustrated. " since none of you guys even glance when I went up stairs, I have been up here since 3:30, has that even happened before?"
"Were you ok?"
"Its a little to late to ask that, isn't it" I stared at my hands and fought the tears pushing against my eyes, I was tired of crying.
"But I'm asking, that's what matters doesn't it, I care enough to ask" when he said that I lost it.
"No. It doesn't what matters is that I needed my brother today, I need my brother to comfort me and tell me everything was gonna be ok. But no, when Zach came up here I really hoped it was you, but it wasn't." I was crying now, I wanted to stop but I couldn't. " You didn't even notice that I was hurt!" Corbyn just stared at me.
"I'm sorry, but what did I do? today was supposed to be my day, I deserved to be happy. Not everything is about you, I have watched over you for years and sometimes I deserved a day to be happy and just focus on me." The words hurt, they really hurt, but he was right.
"Wow, you really haven't, yeah you have for years but lately you haven't been close, you have been distant. Ever since the tour, I know you deserve to be happy. But sometimes I need my brother, you promised Corbyn, you promised that I would always have you!!" I got mad.
"What are you talking about y/n" Was this guy this clueless?
"How can I have you with me when you are in LA. You said that you would never leave me, now your leaving me and I won't have you with me." I just sat there feeling stupid.
"I'm sorry, I never thought about what you might be feeling about all this" he held my hand, rubbing his thumb in circles. "I was caught up in the moment, because this was a major moment in my life so I was focused on me and my friends" 
"Yeah well lately you haven't been paying to much attention. I know that it's not all about me but you promised to always be there for me and I expected you, you of all people to keep that promise" I got up and walked to my desk in the corner of my room.
