Zacky came back to the car and I couldn’t help the anxiety that was brought on. I was only half way through my cigarette but was already wishing that I had another one to smoke. I wasn’t even sure who was going to speak first or if anyone was even going to speak at all. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind the not speaking but eventually there will come a time where we would have to. Why did he have to be friends with Brian, let alone bandmates.

I kept my eyes focused on the road outside of the passenger window in hopes that this drive would be quick. I could feel him look at me every now and again. So, my hopes for no conversation was about to be shattered.

“So, I’m sorry that I did anything at all.” Zacky began saying.

I turned to look at him. In a way, I was astonished to be getting an apology.

“Zack, it’s completely okay. You didn’t know and I for sure wasn’t aware of majority of the situation. But I do know one thing, we have to be friends or at least able to be around each other without it being completely weird.”

“Yes, I agree. Brian is one of my best friends and that’s not something I want to destroy. Too bad I’m the one who met you first but never got the chance.” He laughed.

“Yeah, right. He’s pretty awesome. I can’t believe we met in Vegas.”

“Wait, you’re Vegas girl?” He asked somewhat surprised.

“I’m not sure if that’s supposed to be an insult…” I trailed off.

“No, not at all. Brian was talking about you the moment he got back. We all teased him because we thought he was lying.”

We actually had a full on casual conversation and before I knew it we were in front of the hotel. It was relieving that there wasn’t as much tension. Then again neither one of us brought back the topic to speak on.

“So you live by here? Or were you lying?” I teased Zacky.

“No, I actually live in the apartments right down the street.” He laughed.

“Wait, let me guess you’re the friend Brian was talking about that lives in the apartments I’m moving too.” My anxiety crept up on me again.

“You’re going to be my new neighbor? I was wondering why Jackson said he rented out the space to someone. No one has moved into that spot. Too girly or too modern for some. Never understood it. I love that apartment complex.” Zack said.

I ended the conversation there. I told Zacky I was tired had a lot to do tomorrow. Only half of that was true but I didn’t want to have an anxiety attack or anything in front of him. He said goodnight and we casually parted ways. I was just happy to be back in my room to sit in the shower and go through this entire evening in my head. Pull yourself together Darla.

Soo the mysterious guy from the beach is going to be neighbor, and is also friends with my current boyfriend. Can I really ease pass that? I mean its never been an issue before, I’ve dealt with many awkward situations, but maybe something about Zacky is the issue. Was it the kiss? Good god Darla. Do I like Zacky too?
