I lied in my bed alone, for the first time in months. My heart was broken, tears were brimming my eyes as I watched the fan on the ceiling turn repetitively. I missed Zach so much and I really couldn't stop thinking about him, it's been two weeks. I'm alone tonight and I felt scared without him. I miss you Zach..everyday. The headlines were full of assumptions and rumors, no one hated me like Jill said they would. No one hated the band either. I wish I could tell my side and my truth.. but it was impossible. I signed a contract that forced me to keep my mouth shut about anything and everything that was going on between the band, the managers and I. If only the fans knew the real truth.
I was happier here, I belonged home. The fame, fortune and publicity wasn't for me. I wasn't wanted in LA either, I caused drama that should have never been caused in the first place. It was my fault, I let my feelings and heart get the best of me. I wanted to return to that normal girl I was before. College student, living her college life and focusing on her own studies. That was me. Cindy.
Months went by, there were no texts or calls from Zach. I was expecting to hear from him, at least saying hi. But then again, those harsh words he had said to me before I left LA he probably meant every word. But that wasn't Zach's character, he would never say those hurtful things to me. I thought he loved me, he did. I know he did. As I sat alone in the mini coffee shop alone.. the rain poured and the thunder roared aloud. I had to get some studying in before finals this week. I got a phone call from an unknown number, weird. I picked it up as I put my coffee down on the table in front of me.
"Hello?" I asked in confusion. This wasn't Zach's number, it was unfamiliar. But the voice wasn't.
"Cindy, you have to come" was all I could make-out. My heart was pounding. It was Jack.
"I'm sorry? Why.." I asked quietly, I was nervous and my hands were trembling, I wonder what the problem was. I was expecting a death or a catastrophe. "Zach needs you..he hasn't been himself lately" he blurted. I could hear in his voice that he was frustrated and meant well. For some reason I was happy to hear that Zach needed me. This was all I wanted to hear because I needed him too. "Hello..Cindy, are you there.. are you coming ?" He mumbled through the phone..
"I..uh.. I'm - Im on my way"
