Third Person

it's been a day since zach and brinnley's date, since she shut him down. despite what happened they had to go into the studio today, so brinnley drove herself instead of zach driving her.

she got there on time but obviously zach was late, as usual. she was a little relieved though because that meant she didn't have to see him right away.

"yo where is zach he is so late" corbyn complained. "i swear we need to put a tracker on this kid"

"brinnley you usually ride with him why didn't you guys ride together today?" daniel asked her.

brinnley shrugged, "i just felt like driving today"

"you've said literally never" jack said raising his eyebrows. "you never want to drive"

"well i felt like it today" brinnley told him. "i don't know where zach is guys he's probably just running late as usual"

with that zach then bursted through the door out of breath as if he was running there. "sorry i slept through my alarm"

"it's fine bro, just ride with brinn next time you are always on time when you are with her" jonah chuckled.

zach slowly nodded, "not likely but okay" he mumbled so no one could hear him. zach then sat next to daniel on the couch not even looking at brinnley who was sitting next to jack.

"alright let's get started" corbyn said cheerfully as the group agreed. they all grouped together as usual except this time zach and brinnley weren't next to each other like they normally would be.

brinnley looked at zach every now and then and zach would do the same but they both looked sad. the boys noticed this and became instantly concerned.

"okay what is going on with them?" jonah asked jack and corbyn confused. "they are usually so close and cuddly and now they won't even go near one another"

daniel and zach were on the other end of the couch going over harmonies while brinnley was at the computer working on the beat.

"i have no idea" corbyn replied. "it's so weird, but neither of them have said anything to me"

"well aren't you guys really close to brinn?" jonah asked as they both nodded. "and she hasn't said anything? at all?"

"well jack is closer brinnley then i am" corbyn shared. "so i think jack should talk to her"

"fine, i will go talk to her" jack said getting up from the couch and walking over to brinnley sitting in a chair next to her. "hey b"

"hey jack!" brinnley said happily.

jack looked back at corbyn and jonah for reassurance as the gave him a thumbs up, he cleared his throat and began. "can i asked you something?"

brinnley nodded facing away from the computer to give jack all of her attention. "what's up bucko"

jack furrowed his eyebrows, "gross don't ever say that again, i hate that" brinnley started to laugh. "but seriously i have a question"

brinnley stopped laughing and signaled for him to go ahead. "so what's wrong with you and zach?" he asked the girl.

brinnley shook her head, "nothing i don't know what you're talking about"

jack tilted his head, "wow you really tried to lie to me just now that's funny"

"it's scary how well you know me" brinnley sighed.

"oh i know, it freaks me out all the time" jack laughed. "but come one tell meeeee"

"fine! you're like a two year old" brinnley laughed slightly. "but zach took me on a date yesterday and asked me to be his girlfriend"

jack's eyes widened, "shut the fuck up, that's amazing! what's the problem then?"

"well i kinda sorta said no..."

"bitch the fuck- WHY" jack whined causing the rest of the boys to look at him weird. "sorry, carry on y'all"

"are you good though jack?" daniel asked.

jack nodded, "yeah i'm good, go back to work" the boys nodded as they all continued what they were doing and jack turned back to brinnley. "you were saying"

"i was going to say yes i promise" brinnley started. "but i got a text from evan, freaked out, and said no"

"ew not evan" jack groaned. "what did he want?"

"um he may or may not be back in town for a while and may or may not be going to school with me again ahahah" brinnley rushed.

jack sat there for a moment taking everything she said in. once it sank in he gasped quietly so he wouldn't disturb the boys.

"you mean to tell me the dickhead who abused you decided to just pop up when you were finally moving on just to let you know he's back in town" jack whispered as brinnley nodded. "tell zach"

"are you crazy? no way" brinnley protested.

"no brinn i'm serious he has to know, the only reason he isn't talking to you is because you told him you were ready for a relationship and turned him down, like of course he's upset, tell him now"

brinnley looked at zach then looked back at where jack sat and sighed. she got up from her chair and walked over to where zach was.

"hey" brinnley said to him. daniel immediately got up and sat over by jonah and corbyn just in case things didn't go as planned. zach didn't say a word to brinnley he just looked at her then back at his laptop.

"um i said hey" she repeated.

"yeah i heard you" zach said coldly. "what do you want brinnley"

"oh wow you haven't called me brinnley since we first started talking, you really are mad at me" brinnley said looking at her feet. "but i uh wanted to talk about last night and what happened"

zach shook his head, "i don't want to"

"why not?"

"i don't know, guess i'm just not ready for it" zach said imitating what brinnley had told him the previous night. zach got up and walked to the other side of the couch while brinnley went back to her seat teary eyed.

"i'm guessing it didn't go well" jack sighed.

brinnley shook her head, "it's okay he just needs time, i deserved that one anyway"

"don't say that"

"no i did, i don't want to talk about this anymore though can we just get back to work"

"yeah sure" jack said as they both got to working on the song.
