Despite the lies that you're making

Your love is mine for the taking

My love is just waiting

To turn your tears to roses

Zack couldn’t even remember what really happened. “No, none of that happened…” He was now at the point of telling himself that what he saw was a lie instead of him knowing it was real. He looked down at his phone, then looked back up into the starless night sky. “Three days, no stars…Three days…” he bit down on his snake-bites, “No c-calls…No…Brian…” Tears swell and stung in the corners of his pale green eyes.

Despite the lies that you're making

Your love is mine for the taking

My love is just waiting

To turn your tears to roses

[ Flash Back: Three Days Ago]

“Brian, you’re drunk…again,” Zacky looked at his boyfriend. Synyster Gates was sprawled out on their couch on their patio at their near beach house, with cans and bottles of beer alike everywhere. “Babe,” Brian slurred out,” Ah’m not drunk.” Zacky sighed and rubbed his temples, “Oh really? If you weren’t drunk…,” his eyebrow twitched, “you’d know I’m over here!” Bri jerked his head to the figure that was his boyfriend, standing in front of the slide door, with a duffle bag in his hand.” “Where ya goin’? “ he sat up. The younger man scratched his arm, “I’m…I’m going to crash at Matt’s for a little…” he muttered out, less audible than it already was with his piercings and lisp. Brian turned his head to the side, “Everythin’ okay? Is somethin’ wrong with’im?” he asked slowly. Zacky nodded. “Then…Why’re you goin’ babe?” He sat fully up, concern strong in his eyes. He watched those pale, green eyes he knew so well, with tears starting to form in the corners of them…turn away from him. “M-Matt thinks…I…should get away for a couple of days. And stay somewhere else…” he leaned back against the door as Syn got up. “Why? A-Are you okay babe!?” he asked, fear lingering within his voice. “I-I’m fine! He just thinks…its n-not good for me to see you like this…,” he started to sob. “Like what?” “D-Drunk…he thinks you’ll hurt me…” his tiny body began to shake. Brian’s eyes grew large, “That I’d fucking hurt you?!” “B-But I know you would never!” Zack quickly shot out. “Then why are you going?!” he asked yet again. “I-I…I don’t…like…seeing you like this, Bri. It’s not y-you. Not that man I love…” Zacky admitted, falling to his knees. “So you’re saying that I’d hurt you?! Zack! Babe,” Brian kneeled down grabbing his boyfriend’s hands, “I love you. I’ll stop drinking! If that’s what you w-” “Brian! Get the fuck off Zack, now!” A scruffy voice shouted from above them. “M-Matt!” Zack stuttered. The two teary eyed lovers looked up to see their singer and friend pushing a little at the intoxicated lead guitarist. “Here Zack,” he held out his hand. Zack looked at Brian getting up slowly before taking hold. “M-Matt…what the hell man?” Syn held his spinning head. “What were you doing to him?!” the much stronger than the two demanded. “I wasn’t doing anything! What the fuck are you getting at dude?!” Zack latched onto Matt’s shirt, “It’s true Matt! He wasn’t doing anything! I just fell! He was making sure I was okay!” Matt’s green-grey eyes rolled, “I’m sure. C’mon Zack. We’re going. As for you Bri,” he said walking up to Brian, “Until you get your fucking act together, Zack’s gonna be staying with me! Got it?” He said with a smirk and punched Syn, hard, in his stomach. Zacky screamed his lover’s name as he threw his bag aside and went to help him. Matt grabbed his arm, “We’re going Zack, now. Leave him,” he spat angrily. “B-but Br-Brian!” he said still moving towards his fallen boyfriend. Matt severely tightened his grip on the younger man’s arm, making him yelp, “I said now Zacky.” and tugged Zacky harshly towards the door. “B-Brian, I’ll be back baby! I-I love you!” his words echoed as he was pushed through his own door and to Matt’s car.

I will be the one that's gunna hold you

I will be the one that you run to

My love is a burning, consuming fire

-Later on that night-

Zacky, with his knees to his chest sat on Matt’s recliner, crying. “Zack…” Matt started softly as he brought his friend some coffee. “Stop crying…you don’t need that…” He started to pat Zacky’s shaking back. “B-but Matt! He didn’t do anything to me! He never has! He just…get’s really lazy, and immature! That‘s not the Brian I fell for! But he’s not hurting me in any form! C-Can’t I just go back ho-home?” he hiccupped out. “No! He is hurting you, don’t you see?” Matt said bolting up, “You can do so much better than that Zack…,” his tone of voice changing. Zack looked up to see his best friend smirking deviously. “Ma- What?” Matt closed in on Zacky, “I mean…why have him?” Zack could feel his hot breath in his ear. “When you can have me?” he crushed his lips against Zacky’s metal pierced mouth. “Zack, babe, I’m he-…What the fuck!?” Brian’s voice rang through the Sanders’ residence. Matt shot up, “Brian! What are you doing here babe!?” Zack said happily as he jolted up and started to move to his lover. “You stay there Zacky! Don’t you fucking come near me…” he spat. “Wha-? Bri, why?” Zack stopped, his heart was racing. “I come down here to get you, and you’re fucking frenching our singer!” “Brian! No! He kissed me! He came onto me!” Zacky tried to explain. Matt started to chuckle, “He’s right Brian.” Brian pointed to his so called ‘friend’, “You, shut the fuck up and stay there.” Matt ignored what he had said and moved closer, “ I did make the move. Why should he have a nothing, guitar player like you…when he can have the singer that everyone wants?” “Matt!” Zacky shrieked, “Brian’s my li-” Brian held out his hand, “No…he’s right Zack…I am nothing. I may not be the best looking guy either. Hell, I may be the Devil in disguise…” his fist at his side started to shake, “But that doesn’t mean I don’t love you!” he said and punched Matt square in the face. Zachary James Baker stood in horror as he saw his boyfriend, his life, dive onto his said “best friend” and beat the bloody Hell out of him.

Brian’s punches were soon stopped as Matt head-butted him. Syn fell backwards and hit the floor with a thud. “You…think…he likes…being…with you!?” Matt struggled between punches onto Bri’s face, “He’d have…everything a-…and anything…if he were with…me!” Zack toppled onto Matt, trying his hardest to pull him off of his boyfriend. “Get off of him Matt!” he cried. Matt turned to him and pushed him hard, making him hit his head against the edge of the table. “Get out of here now, Zacky!” Zacky grabbed the back of his head and ran out of Matt’s house, into the rain and ran nowhere.

No, you'll never be alone

When darkness comes I'll light the night with stars

Hear my whispers in the dark

No, you'll never be alone

When darkness comes you know I'm never far

Hear the whispers in the dark

Whispers in the dark

Zack curled up under a tree in the nearby park, holding his hands up to his face, as to somehow stop the tears from pouring out. It was living Hell for Zacky. Three days without being held by Brian. Three days of ignored phone calls from Matt. “I w-wanna go h-home…” he hiccupped out. Three days, of crying himself to into an un-natural sleep. Three days and nights, of actions taken days before, replying in his head. He felt so lonely and broken. He felt so dirty and cold. There was no one’s arms for him to wrap himself in. No one was there to tell him how special he was. How beautiful he was. How cute and adorable he is. No one to make him feel whole again.

You feel so lonely and ragged

You lay there broken and naked

My love is just waiting

To clothe you in crimson roses

[ Flash Back: Loving Memories]

Brian stroked his lover’s cheek. Zack melted into the touch, “Oh Brian…that was…amazing,” he panted out. A smile crept upon Syn’s face, “Yeah…” was all he said though. He brought his lips down to Zack’s and kissed him passionately before pulling away and looking at him lovingly once more. Zacky giggled, “What do you keep looking at baby?” he asked, looking up at him with now life-filled green eyes. “You…”He stated simply. Zacky turned a pale shade of pink, “Ew…why?” “Don’t ‘Ew’ me…Don’t ever let me hear you say that again,” he lifted Zacky’s head up, looking directly in his eyes, “You’re beautiful babe. I love you so much.” Zacky felt his eyes start to sting with tears as he buried his face in Brian’s bare chest and started sobbing. Brian held him close and tight, “Why’re you crying?” he asked so gently. “D-Do you mean that, Bri? Do you r-really love me?” the younger guitarist choked out. “Of course I do! Zack,…look at me,” Zacky brought his head up to meet Brian’s eyes again, “Don’t you ever doubt that I love you. Heh. Zack…do you have any idea how special you are to me? Do know what you do to me?” Zack didn’t know if Brian was going to say what he did to him on his own or if Zack was going to have to ask, either way he shook his head. “Zacky…you make me feel complete. Even when we would just talk on the tour buses all night about nothing, I’d get this feeling that we’re supposed to be here. Together. “ He brushed hair out of Zacky’s face, “You’re so special. You’re so beautiful. When you giggle, you’re absolutely adorable. And when you cry, I just…wanna hold you and never let go. When you were dating Gena, you never had any life in your eyes. You acted normal, but your eyes never matched your attitude. And since we’ve been together, your eyes are so bright. They never stop gleaming…I want you to know I’m never gunna leave you…I love you Zachary James Baker…I love you so much…” he said planting a kiss on Zacky’s forehead. Tears of joy streamed down Zacky’s face, “I love you too Brian…so fucking much,” he smiled and kissed his boyfriend with emotion before burying his face against his chest once more and falling asleep with a smile for once.

I will be the one that's gunna find you

I will be the one that's gunna guide you

My love is a burning, consuming fire

Zacky touched his forehead where Syn had kissed him, “Oh Brian…” he squeezed his eyes shut and let more tears pour out. He shot up and started to cough violently. He felt so sick, so tired. He had been in the same dirty outfit for three nights in the rain. Crying non-stop didn’t help either. He hadn’t eaten much either. Nor had he slept. His throat felt raw and bloody. He spat and started shivering again. His phone rang, he didn’t even look to see who it was. “Feh…P-probably Matt ag-again…” he said lighting his last cigarette. He sat up and pulled his knees to his chest, “I feel sick…I wanna go home…I-I…wanna see B-Brian…” he started crying again but soon ended up in a coughing fit once more after the ringing stopped. Pain shot through his almost numbed body as he hacked one last time, making him cry out. “Z-Zack!” An oh-so familiar voice said, sounding full of worry. He heard the rushing sound of feet running, and squeaking on the wet grass. He felt something warm and dry wrap around his shaking body, “Zack! Ca-” “…Bri? Brian?” Zacky looked up, and saw Brian’s black and blued face. His eyebrow was split and had a bandage on it, his lips were pale and had cuts on them as well. “Brian! You’re a mess!” He leaned forward to touch Brian’s face but was stopped as pain yet again over took his body. He fell forward and gasped for breath. He felt his body be suddenly engulfed in Brian’s arms. “O-Oh...Brian…you are here…I’m not going crazy…” he struggled to say between tears and jolts of pain. Brian ran his hand back and forth along Zack’s back, soothing him, “I would’ve been here sooner…but that damned hospital wouldn’t let me go.” he chuckled angrily. “And you wanna know why I hate those places…But I told you didn’t I? You’re never going to be alone Zack. I’m never gunna leave you…” he cooed. Zack looked up into Brian’s deep brown eyes that he longed to see. He somehow managed to ignore the pain and reached up and pulled Brian into a long, passionate kiss.

No, you'll never be alone

When darkness comes I'll light the night with stars

Hear my whispers in the dark

No, you'll never be alone

When darkness comes you know I'm never far

Hear the whispers in the dark

The kiss was now broken, but the two hadn’t moved. Zacky still lay in Brian’s arms, shivering, telling him how much he loved him. Brian doing the same, and apologizing for drinking so much multiple times. “C’mon Zack…let’s get you home…” he said, pulling Zack to his feet. “H-Home? With you?” Zacky asked with a sleepy smile, like a child. Brian smiled, and kissed his boyfriend on the forehead, “Yes…with me. With a nice warm shower, food and a b-” Zacky’s coughing fit swallowed up the rest of whatever Brian was going to say next. “ Yeah, okay, let’s go,“ he said now dragging a giggling Zack by his hand. “W-Wait…” Zack said making Syn stop. “What babe?” “N-Nothing…I just…” he started as he wrapped his arms around the older man’s waist, “want you to hold me again…” his voice muffled against Syn’s fit chest. Brian held his tiny lover and lifted his head , he went to kiss him but was cut off; “Oh Brian! Look!” Zacky said, pointing into the sky. Brian turned his head to see a night sky…lit with stars. “Finally…,” Zack started, “ Some stars…” he smiled. Brian looked back at his lover, his life. The two gazed at each other. Pale green met deep brown eyes again. “Zack…I love you…” Brian smiled sweetly. Zacky smiled back, “I love you too baby…” he said with his gentle lisp, and pulled him into a kiss once more that night before the two headed home…together, hand-in-hand under a star-lit night.

No, you'll never be alone
