Alex's Pov... I had left the room about an hour after Zack to make sure he was okay and also for the fact Lisa was starting to annoy the shit out of me. I wanted to make sure Zack was okay just for the fact he was more withdrawn than usual which everyone knows is strange, even for Zack and he walks around himself a lot more. I looked around the venue we were leaving later today but no sign of him so I walked onto the bus and seen Zack's tattooed arm hanging from his bunk, I tiptoed quietly to him and seen that he was asleep some of his hair in his eyes. I brushed it away lightly and I realised he had been crying due to how blotchy and red under his eyes where. I was really worried about him, I had always been over protective of Zack even in high school but I never really knew why I had the need to protect him also I needed to make sure he was okay. "Zack" I shook his back gently and he stirred slightly, I did it again. "Zee" I said louder and he opened his eyes and pushed himself up. "Is it time to play?" He asked checking his phone for the time while I shook my head. "Nah I just wanted to know if you where okay and if you wanted to talk?" I asked him warily because I knew how defensive Zack could get about talking to people, I heard him sigh "I'm not sure if I'm okay Alex, I mean I just, it's like, argh! Why is this so hard?" He said and shoved his face into his hands, I moved so I was sitting next to him in his bunk "Zack I'm your best friend you can tell me anything, you know that right?" I said to him and he nodded fresh tears starting in his eyes. "Alex, it's Jack" He said and I watched as tears rolled down his cheeks and it broke my heart to see him like this, the Zack I knew was always so strong. "What about Jack? Did he say something to you 'cause if he did I'll fucking kick his ass!" I said trying to make him laugh and I got a small chuckle which made me feel slightly better. "No he didn't say anything to me, it's what he's doing to me" Zack whispered and I was now confused as to what he was saying, but part of me hoped it wasn't what I thought. "What do you mean Zee?" I asked confused. "I think I love him Alex, like really love him and it's hurting to know he won't love me back ever. It hurts to sit and watch him happy and loved up with Heather, while I sit and try not to break down or get angry that I can't get anything like that. It hurts that I believed his stupid drunken words one night, it's ripping me apart and I act like I'm okay and I guess I was doing a pretty good job" He said to me as he hid his face so I wouldn't see him cry, I had to admit I was shocked Zack had feelings for Jack and I was sure I felt my heart break at his words about loving Jack. Out of all people why him? Why not me? "Zack you should have told me earlier about all this you know you can trust me! The thing with Jack is he doesn't know things until it slaps him in the face, trust me I know. Now look either get some more rest or go shower and we'll have a kick ass show like we always do and then you and me can sit in the back and watch a movie with some beers okay?" I suggested to my best friend hoping he would say yes and his I seen his face light up which made my heart jump. "Okay thanks Alex you're the best!" Zack said and gave me a tight hug, I hugged him back and kissed his forehead knowing he would think nothing of it but I really wanted him to make a deal out of it. "No worries Zee" I said and got up leaving Zack to either go to sleep or shower, I knew what I had to do now.
