Falling for the Lead Guitarist and My Brother's Best Friend

Something's Up

Brent smiles down to Liz as she cuddles her pillow. He rips the blankets off of her and she immediately awakens. Liz puts her face into the pillow and groans, "Brent you dick. I want to sleep." Brent chuckles, "well we have a show tonight at nine o clock in two states over so we might want to eat breakfast and head out." Liz stretches then gets out of bed, "fine I'm up." Brent and Liz meet up with the others down in the lobby for breakfast. Liz sits across from Zach and Brent is beside her across from Eric and Barry and the manager are on the end. Liz grabs her breakfast which consists of, bacon, a bagel with cream cheese, strawberry banana yogurt, and a waffle. They all begin to eat and Zach keeps hitting her leg with his. Liz throws a piece of bacon at him and makes the others look. Brent laughs, "food fight?" Liz gives Zach an evil look and goes back to eating. Eric chortles a bit, "what's her problem?" Zach shrugs and Brent smiles, "just being Liz." After they eat they load onto the buses and Eric pulls Barry off to the side, "I've been sensing something's up with Liz and Zach. Ever since that night with truth or dare." Barry raises an eyebrow, "you mean the meaningless dare I gave him to give her a hickey? We were all drunk." Eric looks back to the lounge then to Barry, "I don't know I saw a new hickey on her the next day but it could've been an accident. Then at the show last night they were giving each other looks like 'you're gonna get it.' They also both disappeared after the show for a while." Barry cuts in, "hold on. You're suggesting he's sleeping with Brent's sister? Zach said he had a bad stomach problem and had to use the bathroom. Then Liz was on the bus." Eric rolls his eyes, "I know what he said, but I'm implying that they are sneaking around and I have a feeling Zach is the one that doesn't want to tell Brent. The only thing is I don't know for sure." Barry chuckles quietly, "not gonna lie, but if she wasn't Brent's sister I'd smash. She's cute, spunky, and fierce." Eric playfully hits him, "Barry!" Barry smiles, "what? At least I said if it wasn't his sister." Eric scoffs, "well I think something's up." Barry thinks for a moment and looks to the lounge then back to Eric, "well I mean it seems like it, but as you said, we don't know for sure. As well as she's old enough and so is Zach so I'm not getting into it." Eric hesitates, "I-I know she's old enough, but I still want to see if I find out anything." Barry laughs, "okay you have fun with that because if she yells at you for this I don't want to be in it. The woman is related to Brent and just about as short tempered as a fast ticking bomb." Eric turns and walks to the lounge with the others. He looks to Brent, "how much time until next show?" Brent looks at his phone, "we should be at the amphitheater around eight o'clock and right now it's ten o'clock." Eric checks his phone, "well I'm going to be in my bunk texting my wife and checking in on her if anyone needs me." Brent waves to him, "okay." Into the ride Barry and Brent go into their bunks as well, leaving Zach and Liz alone. Liz whispers to him, "we're on for tonight, right?" Zach smiles, "you know it." Liz smirks and pulls him in for a kiss. He pulls away, "I'm glad we're alone." Liz raises an eyebrow, "nothing can happen because you can't stay quiet." Zach smirks at her, "says the person who tore my back up the other night. Not that I didn't like it, but still." Liz blushes a bit of red, "I have you know you're the one who moaned loudly when I did that." Zach reddens as well, "I know and how else are you supposed to react when someone's digging their nails into you." Liz sighs, "I haven't had that before but I have been in an abusive relationship before and Brent was about to kill him when he found out." Zach's eyes fill with sadness, "I don't know what to say to that." Liz gives a little giggle, "it wasn't the only relationship that had abuse in it and again in everyone of those Brent wanted to inflict pain into the guy." Zach chuckles, thinking of Brent, "that sounds like him and something I would've done too." Liz smiles, thinking of Brent as well, "yeah he's the best." Brent quickly opens the door and makes Liz and Zach jump. Brent grins at them, "did I hear I'm the best!?" Liz rolls her eyes with a sigh, "yes Brent, we're talking about you." Brent chuckles, "about how I'm the best brother and the best best friend?" Liz rolls her eyes while her head rests on the palm of her hand, "yes." Brent smiles, "I love y'all too." He sits down with them and turns on the TV. They start watching Forensic Files and Liz falls asleep on Brent. Brent pokes her head, "hey, sleepy head. Wake up." She slowly sits up, "why?" Brent chuckles, "because we've stopped for lunch at your favorite restaurant, Cracker Barrel." She jolts up and off the bus. Brent elbows Zach, "she's still a kid at this place." Zach raises his eyebrows, "I can see." They laugh and file out of the bus to meet up with the exited awaiting Liz who's already telling the server how many there are. The sever leads them to a big table for all of them and gets their drinks. When they order the food and eat then they all pile back onto the bus for the rest of the ride to the amphitheater. Around eight they arrive and set up the stage for the night. Liz calls fo Brent, while setting up the platforms, "what time does the show start?" Brent yells back from the dressing room, "nine." Liz replies with, "okay," then goes back to working. Zach rubs up behind her with his front on purpose and Liz blushes a bit, "sorry." Zach chuckles quietly, "it was no accident." Liz reddens, "you little-," she takes a deep breath and listens to his descending laugh as he goes to the equipment room. Liz smiles to herself, 'he's going to get what's coming to him.'

Note: another chapter done and now the sneaking around continues, but Eric is starting to notice more and more. The only thing is he going to catch them before Liz confesses to Brent?
