Through The Storm

Phone Call

You've been home for about two weeks. The constant messages from Bryan begging you to talk to him continue to come through but you continue to ignore them. Chris and you text everyday, Tyler texts you every other day, and you hear from Tristan so far once a week.

The craziness from LA still consumes your thoughts, but other things are starting to creep in. Mostly you think about if you should give Bryan a chance to explain himself. But you never do. You ignore his messages, on everything. He's even tried calling a few times but you always send them to voicemail.

The weeks continue on and you're starting to get back to your normal life. Work, your friends, family, the boys. But you have yet to take down all the photos of you and Bryan. They remind you of the good times you had with him. But those times are gone now. So you decide to start taking the pictures down one by one.

The memories come crashing back to you and you start to cry, holding the pictures close to your body.

Bryan's POV

"I just miss her Zach. I have to go!" I yell as he tries to stop me from walking out of the door.

Just then my phone rings and it's her name that flashes on the screen.

"He-hello?" I mutter.

The line is silent but I can hear her breathing, she's been crying.

"(Your name)?" I ask.
The line goes dead.

"I'm going to her Zach. And you can't stop me." I say as I shove past him.
"Do you really think that's a good idea Bryan?" He says.
"Look, I respect you, a lot. But I love her Zach. And I made a horrible mistake that I have to try and fix. If I go to her that's just showing that I really do love her. And I can't live knowing that I caused her pain and haven't been able to fix it." I say choking back tears.
"Alright, I can't stop you. But I still don't think it's a good idea." Zach says.
"I won't know for sure unless I try." I say.
"Be safe kid." He says as he hugs me.
"I will." I say letting go of him and walking out the door.
