Once In A Lifetime • Zack Merrick

No Idea ^16^

Elliott's POV;

The buses pulled up to a little diner, and we all piled out, tired and hungry. 

We all went in one by one, surprising the few people in there. I mean, there were a lot of us counting the Pierce The Veil guys and their crew. 

After everyone worked together to push a bunch of tables together to create one big one, we sat down, and multiple people rushed over to take our orders. 

I went with a sandwich and soup. 

The whole table was chatting amongst themselves, having a good time while we waited for our food. I wasn't as close to the Pierce guys, but I would miss them as well. Tony reminds me a lot of Dan. 

Our food came surprisingly quick seeing as there wasn't a whole lot of people in the kitchen, and there was over 20 of us here. 

We ate even quicker though, and everybody's food was gone in about five minutes.

We payed, heading back out to the parking lot. Everyone kind of hung out by the buses, exchanging numbers, and saying goodbyes. The Pierce guys and their crew were heading in a different direction, so this would be our last time seeing them for a while 

My phone has never before had this many contacts.

We climbed back into the bus, and I watched from the window as the other one drove off. I wonder if I'd ever go touring with them again?

Everyone situated themselves in the main lounge area, and we played games for the rest of the drive, enjoying each others company. 

Soon enough, we were about 15 minutes from my place when I stood up, heading into the bunk area to gather the last bit of my stuff. Everything else was in the back. 

Most of the guys had been dropped off at their homes, leaving Zack, Jack, Matt and I. Matt wanted to be the last to leave, since he had some stuff to take care of with the bus.

Arms wrapped around my middle, and I turned, facing Zack. He smashed his lips against mine, and I instantly grabbed at his hair, something I loved to do. 

He ran his fingers up my shirt, and I pulled back slightly. 

"Zack, there's no time, we'll be there in ten minutes." He looked up into my eyes, and leaned forward, his lips brushing against my ear. 

"I can get you off in five."

I shivered, grabbing his hand and pulling him to the back lounge. "If you say so."

I stepped off of the bus, looking up at my home. I didn't call Anna and tell her I was coming home today, I wanted to surprise her. I had texted Dan earlier asking if she was home, and he said she was. 

The rest of the guys followed me, and we walked to the back of the bus, pulling open the compartment with the last of my stuff. Zack carried almost everything, not leaving me any choice. 

I gave Matt a hug, and he went back into the bus, but Jack and Zack stayed back. I didn't want this to end, so I said the first thing I thought of.

"Why don't you guys spend the night? I can drive you back to your place tomorrow." 

They both agreed immediately. "Your roommate won't mind, would she?" Jack questioned, bouncing on his feet. 

I shook my head. "She definitely won't mind, trust me." 

They rushed into the bus, making sure Matt knows, and grabbing their stuff. We gathered the last of their stuff from the back, and made our way up the stairs to the front door.

I pushed it open, seeing as it was already unlocked, gasping dramatically at the scene before me.

Anna and Aly jumped apart, both of them grabbing their shirts and covering their chests. Anna looked at me, her eyes widening. 

"Elliott?! Why didn't you call and tell me you were coming home today?!" She hopped up, sprinting to me, and wrapping her arms around me.

 "Don't try to change the subject, Anna." I put my hands on my hips.

Aly already had her shirt on, and was sitting awkwardly on the end of our couch. "Hey Elliott.." She rubbed the back of her neck. I waved.

Jack and Zack were still behind me, unsure of what to do. I motioned for them to come in, and they sat down, putting their stuff by their feet on the floor. 

"I'll be right back." I said, smiling. Grabbing Anna's hand, I drag her to her room, where she puts her shirt on the rest of the way. 

I smacked her. 

"Ow! What was that for?" She whined, rubbing her shoulder. 

"For not telling me about you and Aly! How long has this been going on?" I questioned, tapping my foot on the floor. 

She looked down. "Almost two weeks.." 

I smack her again.

"And you have the nerve to complain about me not telling you everything that was going on." I huffed, turning away in false anger.

"I'm sorryyy, I should have told you, I know. Also, why is Zachary Merrick and Jack Barakat in our living room? Not that I'm complaining." 

"They're spending the night with us.. I wasn't ready to let everyone go yet. I know, it's stupid. But I miss everything so much already, and it hasn't even been an hour." I felt the tears well up in my eyes, but I forced them back. 

"Aw, babe. I'm sorry." She wrapped her arms around me again. 

"It's fine." I hugged her back. "I'm still mad at you, by the way. Don't think you'll be get off so easy." I grinned, and she groaned.

God, I missed her.
