They sit down on a booth with their food at Chipotle. So it was Jack, Zach, Corbyn, Daniel and Jonah.

"Excuse me?" They look up.A girl with blonde hair and brown eyes smiles.

"Can I have your number?" Jonah smirks and goes to take the phone away from her hands but she stopped him.

"It's not from you, it's from him, in the hoodie." Zach looks up.

"Me?" He asks confused.

"Yeah, you're really cute." She blushes. Zach blushes lightly.

"He's with me." Jack says harshly.

"Oh. Sorry I-I didn't know."

"Gimme your phone." She girl hands it on him and Zach types it in.

"I'm Max, you?"

"Ashley Wilson"

"Nice to meet you girly, I'll be waiting for a text." He winks at her. She giggles and walks away.

"What the fuck was that?"

"I'm not with you, you have a girlfriend. I'm a single dude." He shrugs and keeps eating.

"You're still mine."

"No. I belong to myself. I'm not an object. I'm a human being...and you better take your hand off my thigh or I'll stab it."

"You don't have any knives with you."

Zach lifts his hoodie and shows him a knife and a gun.

"Wanna say that again?" He asks.

"So Cupid...how did you and Sage meet?" Corbyn tries to lighten the mood.

"I was kicked out and I was gonna spend the night on the streets but she appeared and just...took me in. Barely knowing me, she simply said you seem like a nice guy and I don't like living alone and bam! we became instant friends."

"Really?" Corbyn smiles softly.

"Yeah...she kinda saved my life." He sips the soda.

Zach and Corbyn keep talking for the rest of lunch, ignoring Jack and the others. The curly head was almost fuming.

"Let's go." He mutters harshly.

They all get up and walk to the car.

Zach goes to sit at the back but Jack wasn't gonna let that happen.

"What are you doing?"

"Sitting in the back. Why? I can't?"

"Exactly, you can't." Zach smirks and gets in the back.

"Too bad this is a free country huh?" He buckles up.

Jonah sits at the front and they drive back to the gang house.

Zach gets a call mid ride.

"What's up?"

"Mom wants to call you, can I give her your number?"

"Really?...Are you sure?"

"Yeah...she said it was kinda urgent."

"Sure, give it to her...tell her I'm waiting okay?"

"Okay, bye, love you."

"Love you too Ry."  He hangs up.

"Are we far away? I'm gonna receive a call." Zach asks anxiously.

"We're halfway there." Corbyn mutters. Zach nods and starts tapping his foot.

They arrive at the gang house and Zach's phone starts ringing.

"Hello?" Zach gets out of the car immediately.

"Hey momma, what's wrong?" He asks worriedly.

He starts walking towards the door.

"I...I need to tell you something." The guards open the door.

"Thanks...what it is?"

"Im sorry for not accepting you." Zach freezes in place.

"What!?"

"And I miss you very much...I want you back home." Corbyn signals him to follow.

"No! You can't drop a bomb like that and then say you miss me! I want, no, I deserve an explanation."

"Seeing you again reminded me of the old times."

"Oh?" He gets in Corbyn's room.

"I just miss you so much and I'm a terrible mom for doing that." Corbyn leaves him alone.

"Momma, you're a great woman okay? I love you, even if you kicked me out."

"Okay... Pumpkin I think I'm being followed...what do I do?"

"Talk to Ryan and you're gonna explain all of this okay?"

"Why can't you fly home?"

"I just can't mom. I wish I could, but I can't."

"What? You're not making any sense."

"I gotta momma, love you." He hangs up.

He dials Christina's number.

"Yes?"

"My mom thinks she's being followed, can you call Ryan and talk to him? I know she's not telling him to not scare him."

"Sure, yeah, sure."

"I gotta go bubs, love you."

"Love you too." She hangs up.

He sits down on the bed.

"My life is a fucking mess right now." He sighs. "But it could be so much worse."

Zach gets up and walks to his new room. He sees Jack shirtless and closes the door again.

"Come in." Jack says loudly.

Zach gets in and sits on the bed, not facing Jack.

"Is everything okay? You left the car in a hurry..."

"If everything was okay I wouldn't be here." He sighs and starts to frantically type on his phone. "Do you have like a music room or some room that's sound proof?"

"This room."

"Of course it is." He rolls his eyes.

"Any other room?"

"The meeting room."

"Cool. If you need me call anyone else." He gets up and walks to Corbyn's room and knocks on the door.

"Come in."

"Hey dude, can I borrow your guitar for a bit?"

"Yeah, sure, I didn't know you played."

"I taught myself when I was a kid."

"I wanna hear you play one day okay?" Zach nods and gets out the room.

He walks to the meeting room, as he still remembers the path he and Christina took.

Zach gets in it and locks the door. He locks the door and sits down on a chair and starts playing.

The brunette let the song get the best of him and started singing softly.

But soon the softly turned to a full blown concert, thinking no one could hear him, but Jack was leaning against the door, listening to him sing.

And my, oh my, he sounded like an angel.
