Zacky's POV

Renae had already went to bed after I got myself some water and a chocolate chip cookie. I laid down on my bed and stared up at the ceiling. Closing my eyes, I was thinking of the date tonight. I was so glad I brought her to that restaurant.

It was perfect. Although I noticed she drank a little too much wine. Which was cool with me. She was probably just as nervous as I was and instincts kicked in. Who knows.

5 minutes had passed and I was tossing and turning. Why can't I go to sleep? I knew I was tired yet my whole body seems to not want to rest. I opened my eyes and sat up. I got up and went to use the bathroom. As I got done and was washing my hands, I heard a noise.

I dried my hands on the towel and walked out trying to find where it was coming from. I walked a little closer and stepped on something that made a squeaky sound. I jumped back a little and noticed it was Ichabod's chew toy of a hotdog.

I looked around and saw Icky on the floor sleeping peacefully. Right next to the guest bedroom. As I walked closer to the room, the sound got louder. It sounded like someone was talking. I slowly opened the door and looked around the room.

My eyes then stopped on the bed. It was Renae. She was mumbling some things in her sleep. Tossing and turning. I closed the door behind me and quietly walked closer to her. She was sweating and like crazy and crying. Must be having a nightmare.

I laid down next to her and softly stroked her cheek. “Ren everything's going to be alright. I'm here now.” I quietly said in her ear. She stopped moving and slowly opened her eyes.

Once she saw me, she pulled me close to her and curled into me, laying her head on my chest and continued to cry. My heart started to ache. I didn't want her to feel that way.

“We'll talk about it in the morning.” I felt her nodding and held her close. Sleep soon consumed her again and it then got to me as well. This would be a step in the direction of her trusting me. I slowly moved my hand along her cheek, on the right side of her face. That had the light bruise on it that I also earlier. I'm going to ask her what happened after our talk.

Renae's POV

I was outside running from who knows what. It felt like I was running forever until I stopped and noticed the same venue Arin, Kimberly, and I were at. When we saw Breaking Benjamin. I walked to the entrance and pulled open door, walking in. It was back as I walked to where the stage was. The lights turned on and there he stood. Ben. I stopped walking and stood there.

He smiled and walked closer to me. I put my hand up to stop him from walking but he just pushed it away and pulled me against his chest.

“Oh baby I've missed you. Why did you have to leave? We could have spent some time together if you know what I mean.” I pushed him away and stared at him. Was he that stupid? He wasted it on the bimbo and just broke my heart like it was nothing.

“If you weren't a stupid drunk, I would have given you that special moment. But apparently you wasted it on her.” As if on cue, Rhiannon walked out. I slowly backed away but stopped.

I wasn't able to move my legs and feet. I just stood there as she walked over to Ben and began to kiss him. He kissed her back and they started getting into a heated make out session. I tried to turn my head away but couldn't. It seems my whole body wasn't able to move neither.

That's when the whole scene shifted and we were back in the band's dressing room. My eyes went straight to the couch and there it was. That scene that was forever playing in my head. Now right in front of me. Tears started to come down my face.

I clenched my fists and wanted so badly to go. I was finally able to move my body. I grabbed a guitar that was lying on the floor and threw it. As it was heading towards their direction, the scene playing shattered. Like it was broken glass.

I ran out of the venue and continued running. That's when I heard a voice. “Ren everything's going to be alright. I'm here now.” It said. It was Zacky's voice. I closed my eyes and thought of him.

I opened my eyes and was back in the guest bedroom on the bed. I looked over and saw Zacky laying next to me stroking my cheek. I pulled him close and laid my head onto his chest.

“We'll talk about it in the morning.” I heard him say. I nodded and held onto him. Right now I can say I feel safe being with him.

Brian's POV

I had dropped off Emi at her apartment. The guys had already left but I decided to help her out by cleaning up. Thinking of our time at the beach last night was amazing. We were talking about random things like food and if certain people looked better with short or long hair. Even was slowly getting to know each other like asking what movies we liked and what not. I had a great time and I knew she did as well.

I was laying on my bed in my boxers. It was 1 in the afternoon which meant I should start getting ready soon to meet up with the guys at the studio in 2 hours. Same time every day. I took a quick shower and got ready. Pulling on a black shirt and jeans. I grabbed a folder that was laying on the nightstand and headed downstairs. I heard the door open and close as I went to make myself some coffee. I felt a pair of hands wrapped around me.

“Hey baby.” I sighed and turned in her arms to give her a hug. “Hey Michelle. Have a seat, I have something to talk to you about.”

In a way, I wasn't expecting her to be back already but hey, time to take the opportunity and make this happen. I walked over to the coffee maker and poured myself a cup.

“What some?” I asked looking at her. She shook her head and sat at the table. I took my cup and sat down across from her.

I took a deep breath. “Look, I love you and have love for you. You're a cool chick.” I sipped some of my coffee. As I was about to speak again, she spoke. “I came by to ask you if you'd like to come with me to meet up with a friend of mine. He and his girl are here on vacation. We use to date but now we're best friends. Soo let's go?” She said all of it pretty fast.

I stared at her. It seems she either knew what was going to happen or was telling me why she came back early to be more important than what I had to say.

“That's sounds great. But I don't want to.” She raised an eyebrow at me. “Why not? You need to get out of the house. Hell I've been stuck here for a while. You just came back from tour a few days ago. Why not get out and have fun?”

I shook my head. “No thanks. I'd rather relax right now.” I looked up at the time. “I should get going. I need to meet up with the guys at the studio.”

I finished my coffee and was about to head out. Michelle followed me and pulled me back inside. “Brian I want to go out! I haven't seen you in a while and I demand we go out & have fun!” I was getting pissed now. I pulled myself away from her. “If you want to go ahead and do it. But count me out.” I was walking out of the house.

She had quickly walked passed me and stopped me from walking any further. “So that's it? You're just going to leave?! I can't believe you! It's no wonder I decided to cheat on you, you're never there.” I looked up at her and stared. Michelle had realized what she had said and put her hand over her mouth.

I walked back into the house, grabbed the folder and walked back out. I looked at her giving her smile. “Sign these and maybe I'll think about going with you.” A big smile appeared on her face as she opened the folder and signed her name on the papers quickly.

I took it and looked it over, nodding. “Thank you. Now I'd like for you to pack your stuff and leave.” She stared at me wide eyed. “...W-what?” I cleared my throat. “You heard me, pack your shit and leave!” I said raising my voice a little louder. I tried to keep the folder away from her but she soon took it and opened it, reading what was inside.

“You're divorcing me?! What the hell!” I snatched the folder back from her. “Yes and the fact that you have confessed that you've been cheated on me, I have ever right to.” I walked over to the car. And threw the folder into the back seat. I looked over and Michelle had tears in her eyes but she was furious.

“You won't get rid of me that easily!” She shouted as I got into the driver's side and started up the car. “If I don't see that you have packed up all your shit and move out, I'm taking it all and selling it.” I drove off leaving her there in front of the house.

I was so mad but at the same time relieved. I knew she was cheating on me but her to confess like that just lifted a huge weight off my shoulder. Even more now that she signed the papers and we're going through with this divorce. I literally had to trick her or else she wouldn't have gone through with it.

I looked down at my left hand that still had the wedding band on it. It decided to go and pawn it. Going to use the money I get off of it to buy something nice for Emilia. I mean yeah I also have lots of money because the band has been successful but this will definitely be worth it to add to what I'm thinking of getting her.

This is going to be hard. I just met this beautiful lady a few days ago and I'm already getting her something? Call me a sucker in love...or whatever this feeling may be.

Notes

Brian has finally took that step into getting a divorce from Michelle, Renae seems to not be able to get that image of Ben cheating on her out of her head which has been haunting her, and Zacky seems to want to be there and care for Renae so much. What will happen next? Stay tuned...
