My Story Ends Not Far From Where It Started

Zacky sprawled out as much as he could with out bothering anyone. He leaned head back in between the head rest and the window. He draped his arm across the back of the seat, feeling Rosalie's hair brush against his arm. The next thing he knew, something was hitting him in the face. He opened his eyes and saw a water bottle sitting in his lap. He looked over at Jimmy who was grinning devilishly and narrowed his eyes. "What the fuck, man."

Jimmy howled with laughter, "Wake up sleeping beauty."

~~

Leanne laughed at Matt, who seemed extremely uncomfortable, "Do you want me to switch with you? I'm smaller so I wont be too bothered."

Brian smirked drunkenly at his friend, "Or you could just sit in his lap, he wouldn't mind. He probably needs it."

Leanne's eyes widened a tad as a flush crept across her face again. She looked down and away from the pair as Matt began to speak.

"Stop throwing shit," Rosalie hissed, smacking Jimmy on the arm. She snatched the water bottle from Zacky's lap. "Where did you even get this, anyway?"

"I really think you need to get laid Rosie, maybe that'll help you not be so cranky," Jimmy said. He smirked. "I bet Zacky would be happy to help you out with that."

"Shut the fuck up, oh my God," Rosalie said, smacking him again.

---

"Brian, shut your fucking mouth," Matt said. He reached over and gave Brian's head a shove, turning it towards the window. He cleared his throat. "But uh, it's really up to you," he said to Leanne. "If you wanna switch places--"

"Or sit on his lap," Brian interjected. Matt punched Brian's arm, feeling his face heat up. "See see, you want it. Don't lie Matt, you're a bad liar."

Zacky rolled his eyes, but couldn't help but smile. Shit, he really wouldn't mind getting laid, but he knew that she wanted nothing to do with him anyways. He lazily shook his head, "She wouldn't have sex with me, she said so earlier dumbass."

Jimmy bounced in his seat slightly, "Yes, but it seems that you both have had a change of heart so you should try it anyways!"

~~

Leanne shrugged, feeling slightly embarrassed, "I'll trade places with you." As she went to climb over Matt, Brian scooted his way over and pulled her down so she was sitting in Matt's lap. "Jesus," she said to Matt, "I'm sorry--"

"Oh, don't fucking apologize," Brian interrupted, "You two have been staring at each other all night."

Rosalie rolled her eyes. "Jimmy, just because me and Zack aren't at each others' throats anymore doesn't mean I wanna hop on his dick," Rosalie scoffed.

"Maybe, but you should try it anyway, for me, your best friend," Jimmy said, leaning on Rosalie's shoulder. Rosalie shook her head, moving him off of her. "I'm gonna get the two of you together, you'll see."

---

"Brian, I'm gonna fucking kill you when we get back to the room," Matt mumbled. Still, he wrapped his arms around Leanne's waist, resting his hands in her lap. He'd be lying if he said he didn't enjoy having Leanne in his lap, because he was drunk and who the hell wouldn't like having a beautiful girl sitting on their lap?

"You don't have to move, we're almost to the hotel, anyway," Matt whispered to Leanne. "Did you ever find your room key, by the way?"

Zacky shrugged and looked over towards her and mumbled, "You really think it's a bad idea, huh?" Zacky's brain was racing with drunken thoughts, and the thought of Rosalie was becoming increasingly more and more appealing to him. He shook his head and looked away, "Forget I said anything."

Jimmy poked Rosalie repeatedly, "I'm telling you, you should try it!"

~~

Leanne leaned slightly into him, her heart almost pounding out of her chest. She brought her purse back up into her lap and lit her phone up to use it as a flash light, "No," she said softly, "I'm too wasted to find it, I think. Plus I have too much shit in this purse."

Rosalie turned around and started swatting at Jimmy's hands. "Jimmy, why the fuck do you want us to sleep together so badly?" she asked. She wished he'd stop talking about it, because it was giving her thoughts that she definitely didn't need to be having.

"Because," Jimmy said exasperatedly. "Then you'll fall in love."

"I think you've got some wires crossed somewhere," Rosalie mumbled.

---

"That's okay," Matt said. He shifted a bit, so that one of Leanne's legs rested inbetween his. "I'm sure we can get another from the front desk if you're wanting to sleep in your room, or you can just go stay with Rosalie."

"Or she can stay in our room," Brian sang. He grinned at Leanne. "Because Lord knows it's been awhile since poor Mattie has gotten any action."

Zacky raised an eyebrow and smirked at their conversation. It seemed as though Rosalie was beginning to sober up slightly and get back to her normal snappy-sarcastic self. He was sure it wouldn't be long until she wouldn't even look twice in his direction. Although, he did think Jimmy was on to something. Maybe if they both relieved sexual tension, they both would be a little nice to each other. "Oh who knows what could happy," he slightly slurred. He was beginning to become more drowsy. "Sure it would be nothing tho."

~~

As the time wore on, the effects of the alcohol were more prominent to Leanne. It always happened for her that way, thirty minutes or so past her last drink she would be completely done for. She ignored Brian's comments and turned slightly to look at Matt, "You smell nice."

"Won't know if it's nothing if you don't do it," Jimmy sang.

Rosalie gave him another smack before turning to Zacky, raising an eyebrow. She smirked. "Zacky, are you saying that you want to sleep with me?" she asked. She laid a hand on his upper thigh, leaning in close to his ear. "Because that's sure as hell what it sounds like."

---

Matt chuckled. "Uh, thanks," he said. He was glad that Leanne seemed to be ignoring Brian's comment, because he certainly didn't want her to know how long it had been since he'd gotten laid. Not that he planned on getting laid tonight. Matt wasn't like that; he didn't take advantage of girls. Besides, drunk sex wasn't that good in his opinion. Soon the taxis arrived at the hotel and Matt gentle grabbed Leanne by the hips, helping her out of the taxi. "Come on, let's get you to your room."

Zacky scrunched his nose innocently as he felt the taxi begin to slow, "I dunno. Rosalie, you hate me most of the time, so I don't really have an opinion." He smirked at her and reached down to place his hand over hers. "But who knows? Hate sex is awesome at times--so I've heard."

Johnny, who had been riding shotgun, turned around. "I'm with Jimmy. You guys need to fuck and get it over with."

~~

Leanne made her way out of the taxi, but dropped her purse which dumped everything out. She groaned as she bent down to pick the contents up, finding her room key in the process. She held it up to show Matt and winked, "Found it!"

"Who said I hated you, Zack?" Rosalie asked. With his hand still on top of hers, she slid her hand further up his thigh, stopping just before she got to his crotch. She pouted slightly. "I thought we were friends."

"For once I actually agree with Short Shit," Jimmy said. "You guys just need to fuck each other, it'll make you feel better, I promise. And you're already touching his dick, so I can tell you want it, Rosie."

"And Zack wants it too, look, he's got a boner!" Johnny laughed.

---

Matt laughed, taking the room key from Leanne. He checked the room number and then slid the card into his back pocket so he'd have it when he got Leanne to her room. He wrapped his arm around Leanne's waist, ignoring the comments Brian was making from behind them, and led her into the hotel. Once they got to her room he pulled the room key from his pocket and opened her door, ushering her into her room. "I hope you had fun tonight, Leanne," he said, grinning at her. "I really liked having you there."

Matt turned to leave, but realized he'd be kicking himself all night if he didn't do what had been on his mind since they'd gotten into the taxi. So he walked back over to Leanne and quickly leaned down, pressing his lips against hers.

Zacky's face flushed a deep red as he scowled over at Jimmy and Johnny and gently moved Rosalie's hand away from his thigh. However, he kept his hand clasped around hers. "You're the one who said you hated me," He reminded her. "A few times you even told me in a lot of detail of you blatant disdain for me." He followed her out of the cab, keeping his hand locked with hers. "But I haven't ever really said I didn't like you, just that your dislike for me was pretty fucking annoying. And you can say some pretty hurtful shit at times."

~~

Leanne was pretty surprised, to say the least, when she felt Matt's lips capture hers. She wasn't quite sure what to do at first because he had caught her off guard. She closed her eyes and grabbed his shirt gently, pulling him to her. She stepped back slightly, and smiled at him. She watched as he smiled back and turned to go out the door. "Hey," she called softly to him. "Thank you."

Rosalie frowned. "You've said some pretty hateful shit too, Zack," she told him. She wasn't surprised that they were arguing again. No matter what happened - and no matter what Jimmy and Johnny thought about them having sex - she didn't think they'd ever like each other. "And I thought we were trying to move past all that and maybe actually act like friends, but we're not gonna be able to do that if you keep throwing it back in my face. How many times do I have to say I'm sorry?"

---

Matt was pretty drunk, so he didn't know exactly what Leanne meant when she said thank you. But he still smiled. "Uh, you're welcome, I guess," he said. He turned to leave again and nearly ran into the wall next to the door. He turned around, his face heating up, because he knew that Leanne had seen that. "I'm uh, I'm gonna go now," he said. He smiled again. "I'll see you tomorrow. Some time in the afternoon, probably."

Zacky sighed. He hadn't meant to upset her, he was just having a hard time keeping the wrong words from coming out of his mouth. He pulled on her hand gently, forcing her to stop. He spoke in a soft mumble, "I'm sorry, too, okay. It's just weird--arguing with you has become so natural, I guess I have to learn to stop and not provoke you." He sighed and let her hand go, as he brought his hand to the back of his neck. "If you still wanna try and be friends, that is."

~~

"Hey wait," Leanne said. She began to feel brave, and walked forward to close the distance between them. She stepped up on to her tipy toes and brought her lips to his once more. She smiled as she planted her feet back on to the ground. She bit her lip as she watched him for a moment and them smiled as she whispered, "Goodnight, I suppose."

"I do," Rosalie said, managing a slight smile. The bickering and arguing was getting old and maybe if they started getting along, Jimmy would stop fucking bugging them about having sex.

As if summoned by Rosalie's thoughts, Jimmy suddenly appeared, slinging an arm over hers and Zacky's shoulders. "So..." he started. He wiggled his eyebrows. "Who's room are you guys going to? I know you guys are gonna do it, Zack's still pitching a tent."

---

Matt smiled widely, sure he was flashing Leanne his dimples. "Night," he said. He turned to leave again, making sure rock avoid the wall as he left. He walked back to his room, taking it slow because the pattern on the carpet in the hallway was making him dizzy. Brian was already there when Matt got back to the room and he grinned when the singer stepped into the room.

Zacky groaned at Jimmy's annoyance. Sure, Zack was turned the hell on because of Rosalie's hands in the taxi, but he didn't know how how much of the was followed by intent. "Ya know what, Jimmy?" he said in a huff. "Is Rosalie wants to have sex with me, she knows where my room is at." He shook his head and began walking away, adjusting himself as he went.

Jimmy, with wide eyes, whispered viciously to Rosalie. "You'd better follow him!"

~~

When Leanne closed the door behind Matt, she sighed happily and leaned against it like a school girl. Feeling a little gross from the nights events, she made her way to the shower.

"Hey man," Brian said still grinning, "Back so soon? Why didn't you stay with Leanne? She's totally into you."

"Jimmy, I think you pissed him off," Rosalie mumbled, smiling just a bit. Suddenly an idea popped into her head. Maybe if she followed after Zacky and let Jimmy think they were having sex, he'd leave them the fuck alone about it. "I'm gonna go see if he's alright."

She patted Jimmy on the cheek and headed off in the direction of Zacky's room, ignoring Jimmy's comments and wolf-whistles. When she got to Zacky's room, she could hear him moving around inside. She raised her hand and knocked on the door, waiting for him to open it.

---

"Because unlike you, I'm a gentleman," Matt told Brian. His friend flipped him the finger, which made him laugh. "I did kiss her, though."

"Alright!" Brian cheered. "Looks like you might get some action on this tour after all. Did you get her number?"

"Shit, no," Matt cursed. Why hadn't he thought of that? He'd have to get it from her later.

Zacky had been unpacking his bags, trying to find some clean clothes so he could take a shower. Hearing the knock on the door, he groaned. "Who the fuck could that be?" He walked over to the door and looked through the peephole, seeing Rosalie standing on the other side. "Oh, shit," he mumbled to himself. He opened the door, standing there quite awkwardly. "Hey,"

~~

Brian rolled his eyes at his friend, "You didn't have to sleep with her. Coulda just hung out, made like second base shit, man." He laughed as he laid down on his bed. "But, hey. I was a manwhore once."

"Wipe that look off your face," Rosalie said. She moved past Zacky into his room and shut the door behind her. She went over and sat down on his bed. "I just came here so Jimmy would think we were fucking and then leave us the hell alone about it." She looked at Zacky, waiting to see how he felt about the idea. "Because you know he's not gonna drop it until we do it. He's so fucking stubborn."

---

"Was?" Matt repeated. "Brian, you still are a manwhore."

Brian rolled his eyes. "I'm just saying, man. Might wanna make a real move before Johnny tries to jump in there. Because you know he's into her, too."

Matt frowned. He had noticed that Johnny had been trying to flirt with Leanne, but he hadn't been too bothered about it until now. "I'll just tell Johnny to back off," Matt said.

Zacky closed the door behind her and gave her a sly smirk and spoke slightly sarcastically, "Or, ya know, we could just do it and get it over with and just see how we feel about it." Even though it had come out sarcastic, there was a small about of truth that was behind it. He sighed and rummaged through his clothes. "I'm gonna take a quick shower."

~~

Brian laughed, "You really think that Johnny would back off? Remember the last chick? He got in bed with here not you." Brian knew that he was pushing Matt's buttons, but he knew how much his friend longed for another relationship because of how badly things had ended with Val two years prior.

Rosalie raised an eyebrow at Zacky. She knew he was trying to sound sarcastic, but to her it sounded slightly like Zacky was seriously. She shrugged, smirking at Zacky. "Hey, I've had tequila tonight, I'm down for anything," she said. She flopped back on Zacky's bed. "Have fun with your shower," she added. She added in a wink just for good fun, chuckling as she made herself comfortable on Zacky's bed.

---

"Fuck off, Brian," Matt said. He was getting irritated with the lead guitarist now. He knew Johnny would back off if Matt asked him to, especially if Matt told him that he had feelings for Leanne. He might have to fudge the truth a little and tell Johnny that he and Leanne had gone a little further than he actually did, because Johnny tended to avoid women he thought Matt had slept with.
