Love Outweighs Ignorance

@ paradigm;
Zack nodded hearing her words, though his mind went a little to far with his thoughts. "Ok why the hell not." He smirked before following her​ towards her bus. It couldn't​ hurt anything that they hung out, plus it'd give him the foot in the door for sex later. Moving up beside her he placed his hand on the small of her back, gently rubbing his thumb across the material of her shirt.

---

Callie smiled at him, taking her food from him. "Thank you." She said before taking one of her curly fries into her mouth. "It's been awhile since I've eaten junk like this." She informed him, knowing eating food like this wasnt always an option for them. She didn't have a lot of money, what money she had went on doctors bills and physical therapy. It was a lot of stress and drama, though now she had insurance through​ her contract. But still her money was all tied up in back pay.

Elizabeth was pleasantly surprised when Zacky finally agreed to come back to her bus with her, although she was sure he had ulterior motives for doing so. She wasn't so sure how eager she was to sleep with him again, because even though last night had been pretty good, she didn't like knowing that she'd helped him cheat on his girlfriend, even if he denied having one. He could deny it all he wanted, but Elizabeth wasn't stupid. "Do you want to help pick out a movie?" Elizabeth asked, looking back at Zacky.

---

"Hey, it's no problem," Matt assured her, taking a bite of his roast beef sandwich. "Anytime you want to eat junk food, just let me know. I got you." It was partially because Matt felt guilty for hurting Callie last night, but he didn't mind treating her to lunch every so often. He also wanted to get to know her a little better, so it wouldn't hurt to get on her good side a little.

@ paradigm;
Zacky smiled at her as they entered her bus, "nah I'm easy to please." He teased her, yet at the same time he was being serious because even though he didn't want to watch a chick flick all the time, he enjoyed one every now and again. Moving though the door he closed it behind him. He loved the small spaces, though it did get cramped when you had 5 grown ass men living together.

---

Callie chuckled before taking a bite of her food. "I don't think my body would like that too much." She teased, knowing she did have to keep a well balanced diet or she ended up gaining weight. She would also have to be fitted for a new prosthetic, if she gained any more weight. "Though I may take you up on that." She chuckled.

"Okay." Elizabeth tucked a strand of her blonde hair behind her ear as she started looking through their DVD collection. All of them had brought along five or six of their personal DVDs that they would have a nice selection. She finally chose one and put it into the DVD player, grabbing the remote before she went to sit down on the couch.

---

"Hey, mine wouldn't either but that's what exercise is for," Matt said, laughing. "It's all about balance." He took a bite of his roast beef sandwich, winking at her. He was glad to hear her say she would take him up on it. Even if it wasn't a definite yes, it was still better than an outright no. At least he knew he hadn't pissed her off that much.

@ paradigm;
Zacky followed Elizabeth's lead and placed himself down on the couch. Settling down right next to her. He didn't know if this was smart thing to do or not. But honestly he wasn't too concerned either way. Ignoring all negative thoughts he relaxed into the couch, looking over at her. "Show I bother asking what we're watching?" He questioned, knowing that it was probably pointless to even worry. What ever it was he'd given her free reins to pick.

---

Callie looked at him, shaking her head softly as he winked at her. She could feel the excitement from it building up in her core. She knew that she found this man to be sexy, she just didn't think it would bother her this much to have him show her a form of flirtation affection. "Well if you're a normal person." She told him, "but not all of us can exercise." She informed him, she could exercise she just needed a spotter any time she wished too, also they'd have to be trained in how to massage her leg properly, just in case. And none of her friends or band mates had the want to work out. Granted she didn't want to do so either, well not all the time. She loved running so that was something she could do alone, but only around the arena they were at because she was required to be with someone or a body guard at all times.

"Uh, it's Water Boy," Elizabeth told him, pulling her legs up onto the couch. She hoped Zacky would like this movie enough to at least partially pay attention to it, that way this wouldn't just completely turn into a makeout session. She would hate for any of the others to catch her and Zacky doing anything like that. Because the last thing that Elizabeth needed was drama from his girlfriend.

---

"I'm sure there's some exercising you can do," Matt said. "Like running? And I'm a pretty good spotter, I know a lot about weight-lifting and shit like that." He finished off his food and crumpled up the trash, getting up to throw it away. "Whenever you're ready to head back jus let me know," he said to Callie. "I think the buses are going to be leaving for the next venue soon, anyway."

@ paradigm;
"That a funny ass movie." He smiled at her, before relaxing into the couch. Throwing his arms up on the back of it, getting comfortable. "One of Adam's best." He smiled, hoping she wasn't just putting on a movie to distract him. He hadn't expected to do anything just hang out. He just hoped she wanted him around.

---

Callie smiled at him, "yes but I can't always go running." She said standing up behind him and dropping her trash in the can. "Also you aren't always going to be around." She informed him poking him gently in the side. "But I may ask you to spot me, some time." She said before moving out of the restaurant, taking a sip of her shake.

"Yeah, it's one of my favorites," Elizabeth said. She reached for the TV remote, turning the volume up a little bit as the movie started. She was just glad that Zacky seemed to approve of her movie choice, because she'd always hated choosing movies or TV shows when there were other people watching. "I guess you can pick the next one, if you want," she told Zacky, looking over at him for a second.

---

Matt sort of made a face when Callie poked his side, swatting at her hand a little. "I'm always down to spot," he told her as they walked out of the restaurant. He watched her as she drank her shake, now suddenly wishing that he'd ordered one. But it was a little too late to go back to the restaurant now. "So were you going to head back to your bus, or...?" Matt asked. "I would invite you back to mine, but I think Jimmy and Johnny are there right now."

@ paradigm;
"Let's finish this one first." He informed her not wanting to get to over their heads. Smiling he watched as she started to get into the movie. Shifting he moved his arm to her shoulder, draping it casual over her chest. He turned his attention to the movie, hoping she had no problem cuddling with him. He knew he was pushing his luck and all. Since he'd brought​ a girl with him on tour.

---

Callie smiled at Matt, "oh I bet you are." She teased him. Her hand stretching out and offering him the rest of her shake. She'd filled up on her meal and now her stomach was begging her to stop. So instead of letting it go to waste she'd rather he'd eat it. "I didn't have any plans really." She filled him in, not sure what she was going to do before the buses left.

"Okay," Elizabeth said softly. She took this as a sign that Zacky was going to split once this movie was over because he didn't want to be around her. Thankfully Elizabeth was quickly distracted by the movie, although she definitely noticed when he tossed his arm over her shoulder. Maybe he did want to be around her after all.

---

Matt grinned when Callie offered up her shake, eagerly taking it from her hand and sucking up a big sip. Man, this thing was good. "Cool, we can go back to your bus and watch a movie or something," he said. He hoped Callie didn't mind that he invited himself back to her bus. He would just rather spend the next few hours with a pretty woman instead of the guys.

@ paradigm;
Zacky smiled when she didn't move from his hold. Nibbling on his lip he shifted holding her a bit closer. His attention on the woman in his arms, compared to the movie. Lifting his free hand, he brush the blond hair from her face and shoulders. Looking closely he studied her face, letting his eyes take in her appearance. He could careless about watching movies. He hadn't realized just how beautiful she was, he'd taken advantage of her yesterday. And now he wished he'd started things off slower, yet he was happy last night happened.

---

Callie nodded hearing Matt's thoughts. She knew that if they were going to try and be friends then she'd have to at least put forth effort. Meaning all the small things he did that she didn't like she'd have to do a better job at ignoring. "Any ideas of what you'd like to watch?" She asked, they didn't have many movies but she could always get her laptop and turn on Netflix. Or they could always play a game or something. She had brought some cards with her.

Elizabeth felt Zacky shift closer to her, and she froze for a second, keeping her attention focused on the television. After a few minutes she could feel Zacky's eyes on her, and for some reason this made her blush. But she still kept her attention the television, although she had a feeling Zacky would try to make her pay attention to him eventually.

---

"No, you can choose," Matt told her when she asked what he wanted to watch. "I'm easy to please." He followed her back to her bus, raising his eyebrow when he heard the TV already on. Who the hell was here? Peeking over Callie's shoulder when she opened the door, he saw Zacky and Elizabeth sitting on the couch, the blonde watching TV and Zacky watching her. "Hey guys, what's up?" Matt asked, plopping down next to Zacky. "Are we interrupting something?"

@ paradigm;
Zacky smirked watching the blush tint Elizabeth's checks, he tighten his hold hearing Matt's voice. Looking over at his band mate he rolled his eyes. "Just watching a movie." He inform his friend, it wasn't entirely true. He'd been enjoying the beauty in his arms more than the TV. But he still was listening to the noise in the background.

---

Callie rolled her eyes noticing that Liz and Zacky were cuddling on the couch. Nibbling on her lip she perched herself on the arm of the couch closest to Matt. She knew that if she got down in the floor she'd more thinly not been able to get up with out a bit of help. After taking a fall yesterday her muscles were tight and a needed to be stretched properly but she wouldn't be able to do that unless she had help.

Elizabeth tried not to let her relief show when Matt and Callie came onto the bus. It wasn't that she didn't want to be alone with Zacky, she was just worried that he might try something else with her if they'd been alone for much longer. "Here Callie, why don't you take my seat, I can sit on the floor," Elizabeth offered, sliding down onto the floor. She scooted in front of Zacky so that he wouldn't think she was trying to get away from anything, leaning back against his legs.

---

"Yeah, I'm sure that's all you were doing," Matt said, smirking. He could obviously tell the movie wasn't what had been on Zacky's mind. Hell, he looked like he'd been ready to pounce on the poor blonde girl. "So what are we watching? Water Boy?" he asked, sitting down on the couch. He laid his hand on Callie's thigh when she sat down next to her, absentmindedly brushing his thumb over her pants.

@ paradigm;
Zacky frowned when Elizabeth gave her seat up for Callie. He didn't understand why she'd do that, they were here first and Callie and Matt were interrupting their movie. Biting back his comment he sank back into the couch, his eyes moving to the screen. He rolled his eyes at his friends remark, he didn't have sleep with someone twenty four seven. He actually had been thinking on how Liz was completely different then most girls he'd been with. She was his type, just a bit different. He couldn't put his finger on it. But she was less out there, wanting attention and flashy things. She was more reserved, it was refreshing to be around. Though she thought he was a complete ass, even though he was just a rather large flirt.

---

Callie moved her attention from the movie to the hand on her leg. Blinking she bit her lip, stopping herself from moving. She didn't want him to think that she didn't want him. She did, in fact she had had several thought about it today. Even if she wasn't willing to put herself out their yet, the thought still invaded her mind. What woman wouldn't think over the possibility of sleeping with him. Lifting her attention to the TV she decided it was best to try and ignore touch. Even if the small brush was sending her brain an overload of feels.

As the movie went on, Elizabeth found herself getting a little sleepy, and she turned slightly, laying her head against Zacky's knee and leaning against his leg. Now she was starting to regret giving up her seat on the couch, but she knew that Callie needed it more. But after a little while, Elizabeth's ass started to hurt from sitting on the floor, so she stood up and squeezed in between Zacky and Callie on the couch.

---

Matt knew he'd irritated Zacky with his comment, but he didn't really care. Zacky had irritated everyone else by bringing Sarah along on tour and then tossing her off to go and fuck this bass player. Matt moved his hand from Callie's thigh and tossed his arm over her shoulder. He hoped he wasn't doing anything to make her uncomfortable, but surely if he was, she would tell him.

@ paradigm;
Zacky smiled when Elizabeth moved back up onto the couch. Shifting he wrapped his arm around her in hopes in making more room for her. Smiling softly at her, he turned his attention back to the movie, knowing that if he didn't distract himself. Then he'd end up thinking over things and right now wasn't the best timing.

---

Callie let out a breath she hadn't realized she was holding in. Feeling Matt's hands on her was making her brain shut off, it was like she was in high school all over again. Her crush was hinting on her and put his arm around her shoulder. She knew things were completely different know but she didn't understand why Matt made her feel this way. She wondered if it had to do with her not having had sex in a very long time.

Elizabeth noticed that as soon as she sat down, Zacky wrapped his arm around her shoulders. She wondered if he was staying close to her because he wanted to sleep with her again or if he was just being nice. As flirty as he seemed to be, Elizabeth was leaning towards the first option. And she really wished that he didn't have a girlfriend or whatever that girl was to him, because she really wouldn't mind sleeping with him again. She just didn't need any more drama in her life right now.

---

Matt settled his attention back on the movie, brushing Callie's arm every so often with his fingers. About thirty minutes after he and Callie had gotten there, he felt the bus start to move. "Whoops, looks like we're stuck here, Zack," Matt said, not really that upset about it. "And there goes my phone ringing. Probably Larry wondering where the hell we are."

@ paradigm;
Zacky felt the bus move and he let out a soft groan, he didn't want to be stuck on the same bus with Matt right now. "Great, I can hear him know." He rolled his eyes about how pissed Larry was going to be. Shrugging he wrapped his arm around Elizabeth a little bit tighter. "Hopefully we are too big of a burden." He whispered to her. He didn't like the idea of imposing on them, but it wasn't like they would be stopping between points.

---

Callie's eyes widened when the bus started to move, she knew this would be a bad idea. But they couldn't do anything now. Nibbling on her lip she shifted allowing Matt the leisure to pull his phone out. Looking over at Elizabeth, she wasn't sure how the other member would feel about the guests. Thinking of member she wondered who all was even on the bus, she hadn't seen anyone since she been there.

"Well I mean, you guys knew when the buses were supposed to leave..." Elizabeth said, a teasing tone to her voice. She had a feeling that Matt and Zacky got themselves stuck on this bus on purpose. A few minutes later, Elizabeth heard footsteps coming up the hall, and she looked up to see Zoey coming into the living room area.

The drummer rubbed the sleep from her eyes, looking between Zacky and Matt on the couch. "What are they doing here?" she asked. "We're moving."

---

Matt glanced down at his phone, and sure enough, he saw Larry's number on the screen. He was a bit wary as he hit answer and pressed his phone to his ear. Just as he was expecting, he got an earful from the manager, but once he was assured that they were safely on the girls' bus and on the way to the next destination, he calmed down a little. "So I think we're good," Matt said, setting his phone aside.
