A blessing in disguise

Twenty Four

"Grace, open the door!"

"No!"

Zach and I have been yelling back and fourth for at least an hour. I was locked in the back lounge with John. I was packing our bags to go home. Seeing Zach make out with another girl broke my heart into a million pieces. I cried out all of my tears last night. It was hard to fall asleep with drunk Zach on the bus complaining because he didn't have a "fuck buddy". I am absolutely disgusted with him. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up getting another fan pregnant.

"Grace please, we need to talk."

It's so unbelievably hard not to give into Zach. Every time he talks his voice shakes and he is short of breath, I can tell he is crying.

"No, Zach just go to your show, you know so you can make out with some more fans." My voice was harsh, hopefully he'll get the hint and leave me alone.

I zipped my bag and threw it on the floor. Good, now all I have left to pack is John's stuff. I was shoving his clothes into a bag when I heard a faint knock on the door.

"Zach, go away!"

'It's not Zach." I immediately recognized the voice and shot up.

"Hi Cameron, what brings you here?" I joked.

"Ah you know just wanted to get your opinion on the current stock market."

I gave him a confused look.

"I'm kidding." He said while shoving my shoulder lightly.

He sat down on the edge of the bed and took a deep breath.

"So, um I doubt you want to go back and live with your mom again. Brent and I want to offer you our studio apartment that we usually use for live chats. We won't be needing it for awhile because of tour and stuff, so you'll be free to use it."

I ran over and tackled hugged him.

"Thank you so much Cameron, you're a life saver!" I said a little bit too loud.

"It's no problem, but can I ask a favor?"

"Yeah sure anything!"

"Can you get off me?"

"Oh yeah, sorry." I said, recognizing the awkward moment I created.

------------------------------------------

I waited until the boy's were doing an interview inside the venue to leave bus. I didn't want to have a run in with Zach, I honestly wasn't in the mood to have an argument. Cameron said he would tell Zach that I left after the interview, that way I wouldn't have to say goodbye to him. Dillon and Brent were in the front lounge. They both told me that they were said to see me go and they'll visit John soon. John ran over to Dillon and Brent and gave them both a hug and a 'bro five'. Leaving was honestly one of the hardest things I've ever done. I thanked Brent on more time for the apartment, with John in one hand and my suitcase in the other I walked off the bus. The fans out front waved to me, but I ignored them. I heard low whispers through out the crowd about Zach's cheating. In the heat of the moment I turned around and screamed "He's an asshole and he's all yours, I'm done."

I turned around and kept walking.
