zach cracked his eyes opened and rolled over.

"careful." he heard jack comment.

"ow ow ow ow." zach rolled back over and gripped jack's hand. "what the fuck happened?"

"you got shot many times, z. you gotta be more careful." jack kissed his hand.

"i'm sorry. i-i heard corbyn and i-wait. ashley. he yelled ashley. why?" zach looked at jack and he wouldn't meet his.

"ashley is his sister. she..." he trailed off and zach tried to see his face.

"she got shot and was...killed." corbyn spoke for him as he stood at the end of zach's bed. he frowned slightly and corbyn wiped his cheek.

"was ashley to you like ryan is to me?" zach asked slowly. corbyn could only nod. a blonde joined corbyn's side.

"uhm, zach, this is jordan. my little brother." corbyn spoke quietly. zach smiled at the boy and jordan nodded.

"thank you...for trying." jordan said. zach nodded.

"i'm sorry that your sister didn't make it." jordan nodded and hugged his older brother. zach smiled at the two. soon, a body was next to his.

ryan snuggled his head into zach's side/chest.

"hey, there, bub." zach rubbed his arms and ryan latched to him.

"i thought i'd lose you, zach. i don't want to lose you." ryan whimpered and zach pulled him closer.

"you won't lose me, ryan. i promise." zach told the boy. soon jonah and daniel joined around his bed. then ron came into the room.

"hey, zach. glad to see you awake, but jack, we need you." he left the room and zach wanted to follow him, but a) ryan prevented that, b) he could barely move without screaming in pain.

he sighed and looked at the boy laying basically on him. he never thought of the boy as he ran at the men. what if he did die?

what would ryan do without me? the question started to haunt the boy and his mood dropped. what would he do?
