I'm Sorry... ≫ Zach Abels

//Demented//

"Like I said, he won't bother you." Jesse sighed and opened the car door while Ness had done the same.

"He always bothered me." Ness rolled her eyes and leaned against Jesse's car with her arms tightly crossed.

"Ugh, Ness," He pulled his hand down his pocket reaching for a cigarette,"I invited you so we can have fun!"

"How?"

"Um, it's a little band practice so it won't hurt that much, plus you love music." He brought out his lighter and quickly lit up the cigarette gripped between his teeth.

"I only came because of you."

"Is that supposed to be good."

"I suppose."

Jesse chuckled and walked over to the garage of a house. Ness had followed him behind annoyed that he had actually bribed her to come into this mess.

Jesse knocked on the widely door,"Knock knock." He had mimicked himself as the door rolled up.

"I told you to go through the fucking front door Jesse," Bryan rolled his eyes while placing the drum sticks aside of his set."Is that your girlfriend again." Bryan's eyes gazed onto Ness's as she laughed.

Jesse rolled his eyes while walking over to Mikey,"What can we start with?"

Mikey looked down at his guitar and bit his lip,"Up to you."

Ness looked over to the ragged couch where Zach sat down lazily strumming his guitar. He looked up annoyed at Ness and rolled his eyes back to strumming his guitar.

"Uh, I need to practice on a couple notes." Jeremy picked up his guitar,"On Silver."

"Oh, yea..." Jesse looked off to the side as agreeing to Jeremy's statement,"I was going to tell you to work on that. It seemed kinda off."

"His notes are always off." Mikey laughed.

"Shut up Mikey." Jeremy frowned but seemed as if he was going to laugh to.

"Alright, then let's get to it," Jesse walked over to the mic and fixed it so he could reach it,"Zach, you lazy fuck,"Jesse looked over to Zach who seemed to be ignoring him,"Get up."

Zach looked down and lifted his guitar with himself so he could stand beside Jesse.

Ness walked over to the couch while sitting down. She tried not to look at Zach while they began "Silver".

She would glance at him every few seconds and every time she'd catch him gazing at her.

"I'm going to get a drink." Ness walked into the house while running to the kitchen. She sat down and placed her head onto the table almost ready to cry.

"Ness?" She heard the garage door closed as she wiped her eyes.

"What the fuck do you want." She had looked up and saw the one person who made her happy whenever she had been in a bad mood,"Sorry Mikey..."

"It's alright. I understand why you're here anyways," He walked over to the table and sat across her,"It doesn't matter, it's not like he still likes you."

I still like him. She had thought.

"What?" Mikey questioned raising his left eyebrow.

Or so she had thought she talked to herself.

"Nothing.." She waved her hand in a "Never mind" way.

"Mikey! Get the fuck in the garage we have to rehearse." Zach's irritated voice echoed through the hallway.

Mikey stood up from the sudden loud footsteps reaching the kitchen.

"Mi-" Zach pointed his finger but then saw Ness,"oh." Was all that could escape his mouth.

"I'll be there right now God, Zach." Mikey pushed Zach aside and looked back at Ness while walking through the hallway.

Zach dropped his finger and nervously looked off to the side. He slowly slid his eyes to Ness, who was now crying.

She had stood up and ran past him, through the hallway, and into the garage.

"Ness!" Jesse screamed trying to catch up to her as she hid behind his car.

She sat with her legs up, crying into the ripped jeans she had for the past years.

"Ness.." Jesse slowed down and sat beside her,"I can take you home... If you want me to."

"Take me now then." She popped her head up while quickly wiping away her tears.

"I'm sorry, Ness."

They both looked to the right, seeing Zach stand with his hoodie covering the bare of his face.

"I'm sorry." Zach's voice trembled as he cracked the ends of his fingers.

"Don't even say sorry." Ness snapped and stood up clenching her fists.

Zach dropped his hoodie and looked at Ness straight forward, without moving or talking for a moment. He was biting the bottom of his lip, trying not to speak.

"You ruined my li-"

"I know. I ruined everything. I get it," Zach sighed and looked over at Jesse who stood beside Ness,"you fucked me up as well, Ness."

Ness rolled her eyes while leaning against her left leg,"What the fuck? YOU are the one who ruined ME!"

"No! YOU ruined ME!" He pointed at Ness which made her step a little behind,"I fell in love with YOU! I wasn't supposed to fall in love." He walked into the garage.

"Ness." Jesse placed his hands over her shoulders.

"I can't do this Jesse..." She jumped into his chest bawling,"He doesn't understand what he did."

Jesse didn't reply.

"You don't understand." Zach turned around and walked off.
