"i loose my balance on these eggshells"

i quietly sobbed in the silence of the room. zach hesitantly rubbed my back, i bathed in his touch; it was warming and slowly washed away the blood tears daniel stained me with.

i didn't want us to come to this point as daniel was the only person keeping me sane. it was like we were falling apart, first jonah, corbyn, and zach, now daniel. we were ripping apart at the seams.

"jack, you okay?" zach softly asked, bringing me back to the harsh reality. i sniffed in reply.

zach draped his arm across my shoulders, my goosebumpy skin drinking up the toastiness of his body.

"whatever you guys talked about, it must've been bad, but i still love you," zach's words dipped my heart in warmth once more. he then turned to face me. "that counts, doesn't it?"

zach's words rang in my head. i tilted my head upwards to face him.

"yeah, it does," i replied, my voice scratchy and dry.

we then laid there in silence, our company being enough to satiate for a conversation. i felt a cold breeze and dug into zach's chest, lifting my knees closer to my face.

"i'll go get us a blanket," zach said before kissing my head and walking off.

bitterflies fluttered in my stomach and my cheeks flushed. why was i acting like this? when zach came back, he sat down next to me and pulled me in close.

"you feeling better?" he asked as he used the blanket to cover the both of us.

"mhm," i answered, cuddling with him as the silence was blurred out by white noises.

then, the door creaked and a cold voice reached my ears. "you whore, you're cheating on your supposed boyfriend," corbyn sneered.

my heart shattered. "t-that's not-" i stuttered. corbyn cut me off.

"it is true, for gods sake you're probably naked under that sheet," he snarkily responded, gesturing to my bare chest.

my face lit up in embarrassment. "no, i'm not-" corbyn dissmissed me by walking out and shutting the door.

i could feel tears welling up in my eyes. why did it come to this? why can't we just be together in harmony.

zach pulled me in close and ran his hands through my hair. "it's alright, jack," zach whispered.

then, it happened, a blob of water cascaded down my cheek. that one drop quickly turned into the remants of a thunderstorm dripping onto the draining system on zach's shirt.

"shh, it's okay," zach murmured. "no, it's not!" i blurted out, it was just like how i argued with daniel.

"it's not okay, it's never been-" zach cut me off with a quick, fleeting feeling of our lips touching.

as zach pulled away, i leaned in and kissed him back. his eyes widened before he kissed back. i wrapped my arms around his neck and his hands drifted down to my waist.

i pushed him down on the couch then sat up, drawing back.

"you seem experienced," zach said, almost to himself.

my lips tugged upwards. "i am,"

from there, we did so many things we would regret, but it was all in the heat of the moment.

why would i rob myself of happiness, even if it may not be given to me from the right person?
