Sorry this is so sad I was just kinda feeling it..

Title: How Could You Leave Us
Warnings: use of drugs
Ship: Jachary but kinda all of them

Silence. The house was filled with silence. No one spoke, everyone just sat.

Jonah stared at the old crinkly blow up bed zach used to sleep on wondering why he didn't stop him every night.

Corbyn blinked away tears every morning staring at Zach's usual seat, wishing Zach would crack one last joke during breakfast.

Daniel having a panic attack every interview when they would ask that one certain question that happened to be Zach's favorite.

Jack putting on the last sweatshirt Zach wore, desperately trying to imprint his scent onto his skin so he would never forget his smell.

Why would you leave us?

That morning, jack found him laying on the bathroom floor; pills scattered around him as his eyes closed for the last time. He rushed to call Jonah, who screamed at the sight, tears flowing out of his eyes as his shaky hands dialed 911. Jack was gasping for air as the paramedics arrived, pushing everyone out of the way to get to the boy that was already gone. They could do nothing they told them, and that's when they fell to the floor.

Later that day, they called his parents. His mother shook with horror when the news came that her first born son had passed. His father shook his head as tears came out of his eyes. Ryan ran upstairs and screamed into his pillow, his sobs ran through the whole house. Confused questions came out from Reese, worried why all of her family was crying and screaming. Reese just didn't understand why Zach could not come back home.

Why would you leave us here?

The news broke out to social media, and everyone was stunned. Fans broke into a sob as they read the paragraph over and over, not wanting to believe the news. Celebs posted pictures they took with the young artist, the long captions explaining the emptiness in their heart learning he was gone. All EX girlfriends going live sobbing their eyes out, grasping their chests as the comments poured in. Fans posting edits of their favorite rosy cheeked boy, crying as they captioned the post.

Why would you leave us?

Pictures being taken down from walls, not being able to look at the face of 18 year old. Scrap books were made from all the pictures they had and stuffed into the back of everyone's closet. Meet and greet videos were flooding everyone's feed, everyone missing the big smile that laid on his face everyday. Profile pictures switching to red, the color being zachs favorite.

Why would you leave us here?

Everyone sobbed as Ryan spoke at his funeral, jack wanting to scream through it all.

"I didn't understand when they told me the news. I just couldn't grasp at the fact that my brother was really gone. Zach, he was my best friend. We called almost every week, and the one week I didn't pick up because I was with my friends, he decided to leave us. I still don't understand why. I wish I could have called one last time. I wished I picked up the damn phone." Ryan let out a sob and continued his speech, jacks fists balled up in anger.

"I still remember the last conversation we had. He came into my room while I was playing video games. He tried to talk to me about a song he produced and sang all by himself. I didn't listen, I yelled at him to get out as I was trying to win a game. He smiled at me and nodded, saying I love you and walking out of my room still smiling. God, I-I wish I could go back. He always had that damn smile on his face. He was always happy, not wanting to make a problem with anyone. All he wanted to do was make people happy, and when we didn't give him happiness back, he decided to do what he did. Sometimes I think about how he won't be there for anything. He won't be cheering me on when I graduate or saying a speech at my wedding. He won't ever meet my kids when I'm older, and when they ask who Zach is, I'm going to choke out a sob as I explain what happened."

Ryan took a shaky breathe "I have a picture of us in my room, and I wake up to it every morning. But I don't want a picture. I don't want just pictures to tell a story. I want the real thing. I want Zach back. I need him. And I know your not hear anymore Zach, but I can still feel you. And I won't ever forget about you. I love you Zachy."

How could you leave us so unexpected?

It was their last show, they boys were playing in Texas as a tribute to Zach. And as they played their last song ever, jack stepped forward, tears flowing down his face. They all stopped singing and looked up to the sky. "If only you were here zach"

I'm sorry..


I love you♥️
