Enough

Three months passed and my life was beginning to look up. Things were amazing between Zack and me. He really was the sweetest guy I had ever met. It was funny because in most ways, our relationship didn't change from when we were just friends. We were still the same two best friends now that we were before we started dating, and I think that's what I enjoy the most about our relationship. We could still be ourselves, we didn't have to try and impress each other because we already knew each other like the back of our hands.

I hadn't seen or heard from Jake since he and Matt exchanged blows. I was nervous about seeing him around town afterwards, but I've been lucky enough to avoid him. I now knew I was strong enough to stay clear from him, and I knew I would never go back to him. I had to thank Brian, Johnny and Zack for that, but mostly I had to thank Matt. Zack was always, always there for me when I needed him - no matter the time of day, and I appreciated that and it helped more than words could explain. However, Matt was my rock. Matt cared about my feelings, but he was quick to tell me when I was being stupid or well, really, really stupid. Of course, he would always apologize afterwards, but I always knew he was right. I was stupid for ever wanting to go back to Jake, but I haven't yearned for him since before Zack and I got together.

Valary was beginning to feel much, much better and she even had an adorable baby bump. She was twenty three weeks along, more than half way and according to the app on her phone the baby was about the size of a large mango. Matt keeps comparing the fruit isle to Val's baby bump any time we go to the grocery store; I don't think she enjoys it as much as he does. I couldn’t help but think about how great they were going to be as parents.

I rolled over in bed and snuggled up into Zack's chest. He moved a little, but other than that he was still sound asleep. I began to kiss his chest, and then ran my lips across his collar bone and towards his neck. I gently nibbled on his throat and then kissed him again.

"Mm, don't start something you can't finish, baby girl," Zack growled quietly. I looked up at him, and his eyes were still closed but there was a smile playing on his lips.

"I don't know what you're talking about," I whispered, kissing his neck again, and making my way up against his jawline and to his lips. Zack barely opened one eye before eagerly taking my mouth into his.

He wrapped his arm around me and pulled me on top of him. I grinded my hips against his as his hand found its way under my shirt. He pulled it off me and flipped me over so he was now on top of me. He threw my shirt behind him and took my breast into his mouth. A small moan escaped my lips and I ran my hand through his hair. He stayed there for a few moments before slowly moving his lips down my stomach, against my navel, and to the brim of my panties. Zack placed his lips gently on the fabric covering the lips of my vagina. I bit my lip, hating how much of a tease he was. Zack returned his mouth to mine as his fingers slowly found their way under my panties, he kissed me deeper as he steadily began to massage my clit.

"Stop teasing," I whispered against his mouth as he pulled away.

Zack smiled and brought his lips down to my ear. "I'm not," he whispered as he began to nibble, kiss and suck my neck.

Zack began to rub me faster and my legs began to tremble. My body involuntary began to squirm but he held me in place. "Cum for me," he murmured.

It didn't take much more for my body to obey him. Before I knew it my body was jerking and an unimaginable pleasure rushed over me. I moaned and gripped him tightly as the feeling came
and went.

Zack removed his mouth from my neck and looked at me. He winked before crawling between my legs. He lifted my legs in the air and removed my panties. Then he began to tug his boxers from his waist.

At this point in my life, I was unsure if I would ever get over how attractive I thought Zack was. He pulled his boxers from his body and then positioned himself so he was hovering over me and his hard dick was rubbing slightly against the opening of my vagina.

He bent down to kiss me one more time. "Fuck me," I begged.

Zack bit his lip before slowly pushing his dick into me. Another moan escaped my lips, and I thought I heard one escape Zack too.

He pushed his entire length into me and I gripped the sheets in pleasure. Zack lifted began to slowly thrust, and then picked up the pace.

We both moaned and gripped each other as he pulled in and out of me. He connected his mouth with my breast again, and I wrapped my legs around his waist pulling him against me.
"God, Beks," he moaned as he crashed his lips down onto mine. I took advantage of him being distracted and flipped him over so I was now on top of him.

He looked at me surprised and I began to ride him. He grabbed my hips and moaned again. I grabbed his hands from my wait and pushed them on each side of his head. I laced my fingers with his and used it as leverage to grind harder against him.

Zack squeezed my hands as I squeezed his and I felt myself getting close to cumming a second time. Zack got really quiet, but his breathes quickened and I knew he was close to cumming too. I kept my pace and soon enough I felt my body tense up and then release, with another overpowering sensation flowing from the tips of my fingers to the tips of my toes.
I kept riding Zack and soon after I came, he did too. He pulled his hands out of mine and dug them into my hips as he came inside me. When he let go of me I crawled off him and threw myself onto the bed beside him.

For the first few moments the only sound was our breathing. Then, Zack lifted up and grabbed his pack of cigarettes from the night stand. I shoved one in his mouth before lighting it and then laid back beside me.

"I could wake up to that every morning," he told me, the cigarette still between his lips.

I smiled and found his hand with mine and tangled our fingers together. "I'm sure you could."

Zack finished his cigarette and put it in the ashtray. He leaned over me and kissed me on the lips. "Ready for round two?"

Later that day Zack and I parted ways. He and Brian had an interview for Schecter Guitars and I had a few errands to run, which included grocery shopping.

"What do you sent for dinner tonight?" I asked him after he kissed me goodbye. I stayed with Zack so often I might as well have moved in. We talked about it but decided not to do anything until Val started feeling better with her pregnancy. Since she was now starting to feel better, we knew it was going to happen soon but we haven’t talked about it since out first conversation. I knew it was going to happen before the baby arrived because I didn’t want to be in the way as they got used to being parents. I also didn’t want to overstay my welcome even though Matt said I could stay as long as I wanted.

"Well, if I get to decide then I want that dip you used to make high school." He told me. "That spinach dip? That's not a meal, Zachary. You can't have that for dinner."

"I'm a motherfucking rockstar, I can have whatever the fuck I want," he smirked.

I rolled my eyes. "Fine."

He kissed me again. "I have to go. I'll see you in a few hours."

"Okay," I smiled. "I love you."

"I love you too."

Zack left and I decided to go ahead and do my shopping. I grabbed my car keys and headed out the door and to the grocery store.

I scoured the isles of the grocery store before I had enough food in my basket to feed and army, and more importantly I had the ingredients to make Zack's spinach dip. I walked up to the register and lined all my items up onto the belly and the lady rang me up.

I was running the credit card Zack got me and I couldn't help but notice the lady behind the register was staring at me. She was in her late teens or early twenties and she didn’t look familiar. I looked up and smiled at her awkwardly.

"You look really familiar." She told me.

"Oh?" I said, raising my eyebrows.

She didn't answer and kept staring at me. I did my best to ignore her as I put my bags in my shopping cart.

"Okay, well..." I started but she interrupted me.

"Oh! My! God!" She exclaimed, "I know who you are. I've seen you online. Your name is
Rebekah, right? You're dating Zacky from Avenged Sevenfold, right?" She pulled out her phone and started typing into it.

I was speechless because I had never been recognized by someone like this before. She showed me a picture on her phone that was on some website. It was a picture of me and Zack holding hands.

I laughed and nodded at her. "Yeah, that's me."

"Oh my God, this is so cool!" She said. "What happened to Gena? Can I take a picture of you? Can I have your autograph?"

I laughed again and nodded. She walked from behind the counter and stood beside me. She raised her iPhone in the air and we took a picture together.

She pulled out a piece of paper and a marker. "Can I please, please have your autograph?" I was taken back because I had never been asked such a silly question. Why would anyone want my signature on a piece of paper? I wasn't anyone special. I smiled at her anyways and took the marker from her and wrote Rebekah on the paper, making the 'a' into a heart.

"Oh my gosh, thank you so much!" She said and stared at my signature. "You're so pretty!"

"Thank you," I smiled at her again. Avenged Sevenfold fans really were the greatest fans in the world. "I have to get going though, but it was really nice meeting you-" I glanced at her name tag, "Taylor."

She beamed when I said her name and she shook my hand when I extended it. "You too, Rebekah."

I walked out of the store and loaded my groceries into the car before heading home.

One home, I put up all the groceries and decided to take a small break before running my other errands. I sat on the couch and pulled out my phone and opened my only unread text message which was from Zack.

"When you drive all the way to the interview and it's cancelled." He attached a picture of him and Brian with finger pistols to their heads. I laughed and saved the picture to my phone for future use and then texted him back.

"Ran into a fan of yours today, she recognized me and asked for a photo and autograph." I laid my phone down and decided to go to the bathroom before leaving the house again. When I got back to the living room Zack had texted me back.

"Uh oh!" It said, "Expect death notes from crazed fans soon."

I shook my head and texted him back. "She was really nice!"

I was about to grab my purse and head out the door when the doorbell rang. I put down my phone just as Zack texted me back. I ignored it for the time being and answered the door.

"Hey, Rebekah," the familiar face smiled. "You should really watch to see if you're being followed after meeting a fan like that. Never know when they can just follow you to your perfect home, with your perfect boyfriend and your perfect life. Why was she such a fan of yours anyways? It's not like you do anything but whore around."

"Jake..." I whispered.

"I missed you, baby," He told me. I tried to shut the door but he caught it and forced it open. I stumbled back and he walked in, slamming the door behind him and locking it.

"Zack is on his way home," I told him.

Jake rolled his eyes. "Do you think I'm scared of that prick? You belong to me, Rebekah. Get your stuff, you're coming home."

"It's been months Jake. I'm happy." I told him crossing my arms. I was terrified, but I didn't want him to know that.

He shook his head. "Baby, I know I treated you bad. But I love you so much. I can't stop thinking about you. Please come home to me. We can start a family, get married, anything you want. You're my girl."

I didn't respond, I didn't know how to. I merely shook my head.

"Rebekah, if you don't come home with me I'm going to kill you and then I'm going to kill myself. Is that what you want?" He asked me, taking a couple more steps towards me.

"Jake, please leave. Of course I don't want you to hurt me or yourself, that's why I left in the first place." My voice was shaking.

“It's not going to be like that anymore, Rebekah! Don't you fucking listen? I love you and I want you to come back."

"I'm calling the cops," I ran for my phone but he caught me by my hair and pulled me into him.

"Did you just threaten me you selfish bitch?" He pulled my hair tighter and I whimpered.

"Please leave me alone."

He turned me to face him and gripped my face before kissing me. He shoved his tongue into mine and tightened his grip when I tried to get away. "I want you, Rebekah." I heard him begin to mess with his belt. "And I always get what I want."

I hit him as hard as I could and pushed him away from me. I turned and ran up the stairs, but he was close behind me. He caught my shirt before I made it to the top and threw me backwards. I tumbled down the stairs and cried out in pain.

Jake walked down the stairs and then pulled me to my feet. "You're so fucking stupid, you know that." He slapped me across the face and then hit me in the stomach.

I fell to my knees, crying. "Jake, please leave me alone." I looked up to him pleadingly on for him to spit in my face and slap me again. He placed his boot on my chest and pushed me backwards onto the floor and then climbed on top of me.

“If I can’t have you, I’m going to kill you.”

I felt his hands wrap around my throat and I tried to fight him off me. I slapped and clawed at him but to no avail. The edges of my sight began to darken, but then suddenly Jakes weight was off me. I turned to my side gasping for breath and coughing. I looked over to see Jake on the floor, Zack was straddling him and hitting him over and over with a closed fist.

"Zack..." I called. I slowly stood to my feet and stumbled over to them. Zack kept pummeling
Jake and there was blood covering Jakes face. "Baby..."

I wasn't sure if he didn't hear me or if he was ignoring me so I grabbed his arm, Zack turned his face to me and it was hard, dangerous. Every muscle was tensed in his body and he had a look of burning hate in his eyes.

He looked away from me. "Beks, go upstairs," he demanded quietly.

"No," I croaked. My throat burned.

Zack groaned. "Rebekah please do as I say. Just this once. I let this asshole get away with hurting you before, it's not going to happen again. So, please go upstairs."

I kneeled down so I was eye level with him; Jake was drifting in and out of unconsciousness beneath us. I forcefully grabbed Zack's face and turned it towards me. "I'm not going to let you do anything stupid, Zachary."

Zack's face softened as his eyes met mine. "I should have been here."

I shook my head. "It's not your fault." I wrapped my arms around him and attempted to pull him off Jake.

Zack reluctantly stood up and pulled me into his arms. He held me there tightly for a moment.
"I thought I was going to lose you," he whispered.

"I know," I told him. Tears began to sting my eyes but I held them back. "I'm so sorry."

"For what?"

"If I was smart enough I would have left him a long time ago before it got so out of control and then none of this would have happened. I should have filed police reports."

Zack shook his head. "Who knows if that would have changed anything?"

I sniffed and dried my eyes on his shirt before pulling away. "You should go clean up. I'll call the police."

"No," he said. "I'm going to stay down here with you." He took my shaking hands into his bloody ones and kissed them. "I'm not leaving you again."

I smiled at him and grabbed my phone and dialed 911. I explained to the dispatcher what happened and she told me she was sending officers our way and asked if I wanted to stay on the line with her until they were there. I declined her offer, I just wanted to be alone with Zack.
I hung up with her and glanced back down at Jake who was now completely unconscious but still breathing. "Can we go outside and wait? I don't want to be in here with him."

Zack nodded before leading me outside. We waited in silence for the police officers to show. I was trying to wrap my head around Jake following me home from the supermarket just to attack me in Zack's house. He knew we were dating so he must have been watching or following me for some time now. I felt uneasy as the cops pulled up. One with dark brown hair and the other with a dirty blonde walked up. They confirmed who we were and what they were there for before asking where the suspect was.

"In there," Zack told them, pointing to the house. The walked past him and into the house. Zack took me back into his arms and kissed my forehead. "Don't worry, love. It’s almost over."

I nodded feeling a little relieved.

The police officer with blond hair walked out of the house. "Sir, is the some sort of joke?"

"What? No!" Zack said defensively.

The other one walked out behind his partner. "Then can you explain to me why there is no one inside that house?"

My heart fell. I pushed passed the police officers and into the house. My body tensed up and tears began to fall freely when I saw the bare floor where Jake laid only moments before. There was no sign of him.

I searched every room on the bottom floor of the house until I reached the room where the back door was. It was standing wide open.

He got away.

Notes

Uh ohhhh.

I hope you guys enjoyed!! As for a sequel, a few people have brought it up to me asking if I'm going to do one and as of right now I think my answer is no. I really like how this story ends, and I think I'm just going to leave it at that. However, If you guys are wanting some new material to read that ties into this story, go read the side story called Tonight the World Dies! It's completely in Zack's point of view, and it fills in holes to this story that you don't even know are there! Not to mention where this story ends, Tonight the World Dies will continue and give you guys a chapter or two that is sequel-like, if that makes sense. If you want to read that click here.But don't forget to leave feedback on this one before you go!

Title credit: Of Mice & Men "No Really, It's Fine"

Thank you so much for reading! Four chapters left!
