Defenseless

Zach's eyes himself in the mirror, the cold look he gave himself as he wrapped the towel around him. Jonah hadn't texted him and tomorrow was the concert. Zach felt a little stupid because he had been thinking that maybe it was all lies and, after trusting for so long and depending on Jonah... It would all be staged and fake, he couldn't help but feel the Tears leave his eyes, the self hatred he felt for believe in such.. Love it hurt and he couldn't stop feeling the pain.

He left his washroom, digging through his closet for an outfit to wear to bed. Maybe he'd just sleep all day tomorrow and forget about Jonah and how he was supposed to meet the guy who truly made him happy. The one he really did feel some way towards. As soon as Zach hit his pillow, the tears were unstoppable. Uncontrollable. He had no idea why he felt the need to cry all of a sudden, it hit him like a rock.

'He's just Busy, Don't be so emotional' Zach thought to himself, wiping his eyes. Trying to calm himself down. The negativity was drowning the boy. He felt himself shake under his covers, he wanted to be held, to feel secure and love, protected and warm. But sadly, the rain was the only thing comforting him.

Jonah
The flight from Canada where we had just finished up to Texas had me drained, I sat with Daniel as my seat buddy and he was passed out almost the whole time. Although my phone was stuck with Jack and my bag he got from the security as i took his by mistake, I was worried about Zach and what he could be possibly thinking or saying... I knew Jack wasn't far from mine an Daniel's seat but I wouldn't want to disturb anyone sitting around us. Everyone was passed out. How could I move without waking at least one person.

-Time skip | OU Jo -

I woke up to Daniel Humming, I must have fallen asleep. "Morning Bud" he says and I smile rubbing my eyes. "We should be landing soon, are you excited for the show tonight?" He asks and I nod, sitting up. "Oh! You must be excited to meet.. Zayn?" He starts and I laugh "Zach, His name is Zach" I say and he laughs at himself. "Hey I was close!" He defends himself. I nod.

-Time skip, back to third person!-

Zach moved around his room, pacing back and forth, he woke up from a dream and couldn't get back to sleep. How could he, dreaming about someone you care about dying in a plane crash.. isn't something you just shove away.
He was still upset about it, only. He had texted Jonah over thirteen times and the older hadn't seen anything. Zach sat on his window seat. Feeling his eyes burn, until he felt his phone vibrate.
(I'm starting to get lazy with the way I make their texts look, I apologize now 😂)

Mylittlezachy: Jonah, I didn't have the best sleep, I had a horrible dream and I wanna know how the flight is was it canceled or delayed?
Mylittlezachy:I'm probably just over tired, I'll leave it alone..
mylittlezachy: just text me the second you can..
mylittlezachy: :( Hurrrrry up!

JoJo: Zachy! I'm so so so sorry! Jack had my bag and my phone was in it, we're here! I'm excited to come and get you I'm excited to be a stylist for a little and pick out an outfit! Ahhh! I can't wait
Mylittlezachy: Dude, I missed you :) sajshiwh I can't wait!

A smile formed on the boys face, His eyes watered but then the tears just faded away. He received a Video of.. Jonah's feet he was walking out a door? Zach felt his anxiety kick in
The thoughts that he pushed away before are coming back, the concert, why would he agree to go to a concert. It was so not normal. The boy hasn't been outside, much. But a concert. . . People, lots of people. . .
Flashing lights and vibrations from everywhere.
Feeling his phone vibrate again, Zach looked down.
