{Zacky} The Original Misfit {Vengeance}-Chapter 22

"They finally got together!" Johnny screamed again as Zacky and I walked to the front of the bus. I shot a glare at him, and Zacky tried to stifle a laugh. Everyone else looked at us--I guess to see if it was actually true. I saw Zacky smile out of the corner of his eye and then he raised our joined hands.
"Holy shit, she actually said yes," Lily whispered.
"And you know what that means? Pay up, bitch!" Casey said with a laugh. I saw Lizzy roll her eyes and reach into her pockets.
"You bet on whether or not I'd say yes?" I asked as a twenty went from Lizzy's hands to Casey's.
"Yep," Casey said happily and pocketed the money.
"Dammit," Lizzy muttered.
"You bet on whether or not I'd say yes?" I asked, this time raising my voice.
"I thought it was pretty funny," Matt said and smiled at me.
"Shut up and ask Kayte out already," I snapped. Kayte looked down at Matt and crossed her arms.
"Yeah, Matt, go ahead and ask me out already," Kayte said. At least all the attention was away from me now. But I still can't believe they bet on me.
"Not until Johnny tells Lizzy he likes her," Matt said stubbornly.
"Lizzy, I like you," Johnny said and turned to face her.
"I like you too, Johnny," Lizzy said. It sounded like they were talking about the weather or something equally boring.
"Lizzy, will you be my girlfriend?" Johnny asked.
"I'd love to be your girlfriend, Johnny," Lizzy said and placed a light kiss on his lips. Johnny put his arm around her shoulders, and together they turned to smirk at Matt and Kayte.
"We're waiting, Matthew," Syn said.
"Any day now," Lily said/sung,
"Kayte, will you..." He couldn't seem to get anything else out. How long has he liked this girl?
"Matt, will you be my boyfriend?" Kayte asked with an innocent smile. Matt just smiled and shook his head yes. Kayte rolled her eyes and fell off the arm of the chair and into Matt's lap.
"This bus is gonna be one big fuck-fest," Rev mumbled.
"Speak for yourself, Jimbo," I said.
"Oooh, Zacky's not getting any," Casey said.
"I'm not?" Zacky asked and looked at me.
"Nope," I said and smiled up at him.
"Then this does suck," Zacky said, but I could see a hint of smile.
"I wanna watch a movie!" Johnny yelled. Just another day on tour. Yippee.
FFWD TO THAT NIGHT
I think it's about midnight, and the bus is still moving. How do the driver's drive all through the night? Do they ever get tired? What happens if they need to pee? Why am I thinking about driving driver's when I'm supposed to be sleeping?
"Mis, scoot over," someone whispered. I looked up to see shockingly pale skin and bright green eyes. My body moved closer to the wall before my mind realized what was happening.
"Why are you sleeping with me?" I asked Zacky.
"Because I want to," he said in a DUH tone. I was about to tell him to leave, but then I felt his arms snake around my waist. For a second I didn't move; I was too busy trying to figure out what was going on. I liked the way I felt in his arms, and I didn't want him to leave. In the end I caved in and cuddled up to him. I laid my head on his chest and closed my eyes.
"Don't feel like arguing for once?" Zacky asked.
"Shh! I'm listening!" I whispered. I could hear his heartbeat, and for some strange unknown reason I wanted to listen to it. The last heartbeat I remember listening to was...............
"Mis, what are you doing?" Zacky asked.
"Listening to your heartbeat," I said.
"Why?"
"Because I've never listened to anybody else's," I said. And that was the truth. No mother had ever held me to her bosom, no brothers or sisters had been there during my childhood, no friends had held me...
"You're kidding, right?" Zacky asked.
"Nope," I said and continued to listen to his.
"Then I'm glad I was your first," Zacky said with a light chuckle. I just ignored him. I know it was nothing big, never hearing someone else's heart, but sometimes it's the little things that keep you up at night, ya know?
"Misfit?"
"Yes?"
"I want you to know I won't pressure you into anything," Zacky whispered into the darkness.
"I know."
"I realize there's a big age difference between us, but it doesn't bother me as long as it doesn't bother you."
"It doesn't."
"And I promise, that no matter what happens, I'll never
hurt you."
"I know," I said. That was the weird thing. Despite everything I had been through, I knew that Zacky would never hurt me. At least, not physically. I knew I was bound to get hurt emotionally, it was just a matter of time. But, I might as well enjoy the time I have, right? I moved my ear away from Zacky's chest and lightly pressed my lips over his heart. I heard him lightly suck in a breath. I laughed against his skin and placed my ear back onto his chest. His hand lightly rubbed my hip and I cuddled up closer to him. Before long I fell asleep feeling safer than I ever had.
