Faking it - Zonah

Third person

Zach woke up from his 2 hour sleep with a yawn. His sleep schedule on tour has slowly been getting worse and worse. All of the interviews and shows just made him exhausted.

He slowly got out of his bunk and to the kitchen to make coffee, the only thing that could wake him up right now.

He made himself a cup of coffee then sat down on the couch. He pulled out his phone, seeing that it's 5:00 am. The young boy sighed, he's exhausted. His head was pounding from exhaustion, making his phone hard to look at.

He took a few sips of coffee, only making his headache worse.

He slowly finished the coffee, regretting every sip.

"Zach?" a gentle voice called out. Zach looked over to see Jonah walking into the front of the bus. "Zach, What are you doing awake?"

"I couldn't sleep and I feel like shit," Zach explained, over exaggerating how bad he felt.

"What hurts?" Jonah asked, sitting down next to Zach.

"My head, I can barely even look around without it hurting," Zach said, once again exaggerating.

"Aw, that sucks. Do you want to cuddle up on the couch, it may help you sleep," Jonah suggested. Zach has always slept much better with someone, so he agreed.

Zach laid his head against Jonah's chest and Jonah wrapped his arms around the small boy.

"Can you sing to me?" Zach asked gently.

"Of course. What song Zachy?"

"Let me down slowly?" Zach asked gently. (Hehe Alec Benjamin)

"Of course," Jonah replied, knowing that it's Zach's favourite song. "This night is cold in the kingdom
I can feel you fade away
From the kitchen to the bathroom sink and
Your steps keep me awake
Don't cut me down, throw me out, leave me here to waste
I once was a man with dignity and grace
Now I'm slipping through the cracks of your cold embrace
So please, please."

That's all Zach heard before slowly falling asleep.

*two hours later*

"Zach," Jonah whispered gently. Jonah gently kissed Zach's forehead and Zach's eyes fluttered open. "We have to get ready now. Do you feel good enough to go to a couple interviews?" Jonah asked gently. Zach shook his head no, desperately wanting a break from it all. "Ok, we'll tell them you're not feeling good."

Zach nodded with a smile. Jonah gently picked Zach up then laid him down on the couch, then left to get ready.

Zach waited until all of the boys were gone, his head now felt so much better. He turned on a movie and started making breakfast. He made scrambled eggs, bacon, and toast.

He sat down on the couch, eating his breakfast and watching the Hunger Games.

When he finished his breakfast he laid down and fell asleep.

*three hours later*

Zach woke up from his nap and slowly sat up, rubbing his eyes with a smile. He finally got some sleep.
