Why Don't We Imagines | REQUESTS: OPEN

Insecure!Suicidal! Zach X Reader | 2/5

Been there,

My eyes fly open to see Reese clinging on to me with tears in her eyes. "Oh baby." I say, sympathy lacing my voice. I wrap my arms around her, letting go of Zach, and pull her onto my lap as Ryan pulls a chair up and sits right next to me.

Done that,

I put a hand out to him and he takes it, squeezing gratefully as his mother cries buckets on the opposite side of the bed. Josh gently whispers something in her ear and she seems to calm down a little as Ryan leans on my shoulder.

Messed around,

Reese buries her face into my neck, "What happened to Zach?" She mumbles. I swallow, "He hurt himself." I whisper, "He hurt himself really badly, and he almost died." I try to shield her without hiding the truth from her.

I'm having fun,

My shirt turns wet after a few more seconds, "He's alright now, god forbid he should die, he just needs to sleep." I add as Ryan gently strokes his sisters hair.

Don't put me down,

She looks up at me, her cheeks wet with tears, and I reach my hand up to wipe her cheeks, "Zach will be alright." I say quietly, reassuring her.

I'll never let you sweep me off my feet,

Ryan nudges me gently, "You really think so?" "I know so, he will be perfectly fine." I say firmly.

This time baby I'll be,

After a few more minutes, Myta and Josh take Reese and Ryan out again. The timing is perfect though because the moment the door shuts again my phone rings.

Bulletproof,

"Hey Jonah, you got everyone?" I ask as I answer. "Yep, I'll put you on speaker." He replies, his voice getting slightly quieter as he removes the phone from his ear.

This time baby I'll be,

"Whats up Y/N?" "What happened?" I can't hear any one person over the insistent questions, until Eben's voice rings out above theirs, "Shut up!"

Bulletproof,

They go silent and Eben sighs, "What happened? Are you and Zach alright?"

I won't let you turn around and tell me now,

For what feels like the millionth time today, I sigh, "He tried to kill himself." I hear what sounds like Jack and Daniel both gasping, before Corbyn asks: "Is he alright?"

I'm much too proud,

"He's alright, he'll be fine. I managed to get to him in time." I reply, rubbing my eyes with my free hand.

To walk away from something when it's dead,

"Where are you guys now?" Jack asks. "In the hospital, he's still asleep but he will be fine. Myta and Josh were just here with the kids."

Do do do your dirty words come out to play,

"What made him do it?" Eben asks, always the man in charge needing to know every detail. "My best guess would have to be R/N. She broke up with him yesterday but she was always toxic towards him, making him insecure, making him feel like shit." I reply.

When you are hurt,

"I knew she was trouble." Daniel growls, "How could she do something like that?" "People like that just exist and there's nothing we can do." Eben says.

There's certain things that should be left unsaid,

I let out a small sigh, "Do you guys want to come see him?" I ask, "He's not awake but..." I trail off as a chorus of yes's meet my ears. I chuckle, "See you guys soon then."
