Leah's PoV

For some damn reason the boys have been more distant lately. I think it's because all the hate that Zach's getting. I mean, even Jonah! Hasn't talked to me.

It hurts to not be in his grasp,
To have his lips on mine,
To not have the live if my life, right here with me.

That's when my phone started going off. I picked it up and the name "Jonah Bear"   I instantly answered it.

"Hello!" I yelled into the other end.

"I, um... I have some bad news..." Jonah sniffed into the phone.

"Wh-what is it." I almost choked on my breath.

"Zach, um, Zach left the band and went back home." Jonah cried.

"What!? No that's not true!" I cried.

"I'm sorry."

"NO!!!" I screamed and threw my phone at the wall.

It shattered to pieces.

"DAMN IT!!" I ran upstairs and grabbed my keys.

I put a sweater on and some sweats and ran downstairs and out the door. I jumped in my car and just drove. I knew where I wanted to go and why.

Zach.

That's all I could think of. I drove. I didn't stop.   I drove straight to Dallas and I didn't sleep. Well I left around 7:30am so...

*In Dallas, Texas*

I parked my car outside and ran to the front door. I knocked about 4 times before Reese opened the door.

"Hi baby girl. Is Zach home?" I asked.

She nodded and let me in. Reese took me to his bedroom door then went back downstairs, to tell Myta I was here.

I took a deep breath then slightly knocked on the door.

"Come in." Zach said.

I opened the door and looked at him. Tears felt from my eyes as I attacked him in a hug. I could feel my shirt becoming wet from his cries.

"Zach..." I choked out while rubbing my hand up and down his back. "It's okay. I'm here, I'm always here."

He sniffed and dug his head deeper into my neck. I rubbed my thumb in circles on his back as he hugged me tighter and cried harder.

"I don't know what to do. The limelights hate me. Jonathan hates me, HECK! Even Ryan, hates me. I didn't even say that word. I feel so bad for even mouthing it. I should've never done it but I did and now our manager kicked me out. I guess the #zachherronisoverparty really is true..." he cried.

I put my hands on his cheeks.

"No, it's not. I'm here for you. Never give up okay. I love you so much Zach. You're coming back home to L.A. and you're staying with me. Nobody gotta know you're with me. I promise, I'm here." I said and kissed his forehead.

"Okay." He whispered.

"Get packed so we can go back home." I smiled.

He nodded his head and I went downstairs. Reese, Myta and Ryan were playing a board game when I sat down.

"Wanna play Leah?" Ryan asked.

"Actually Ry, can we talk real quick?" I asked.

Myra smiled at me and nodded to Ryan.

"Sure." He said.

We went out to my car and stood by it.

"Don't hate Zach. You're his only brother." I said.

"Oh my god!" Ryan said and tried walking back inside.

"Hey!" I said grabbing his wrist and pulling him back by me. "He didn't mean to say it! Don't hate your big brother Ryan, or you're gonna have to hate me too." I choked.

Ryan looked down and then back at me. A tear fell from his eye.

"I'm sorry." He cried.

"It's Zach you need to say that to." I smiled.

Ryan nodded and we went back inside. Zach was standing by the door with two bags ready to go.

We have hugs and whatever and then we left.

*Back in L.A.*

We walked inside and Zach put his stuff in the guest room and we stayed up watching tv. I passed out around 2:55 am. I'm not sure about Zach😂
