she just nodded, watching as a small grin over took his face the moment she said yes. he kicked off his sneakers before climbing into the bed with her and wrapped his arms around her waist. she didn't know why he suddenly needed affection, but she wasn't really complaining either. she was suddenly ten times more comfortable now that she was hugging a person instead of a pillow.
"what happened?" aniela asked, her eyes drifting onto the tv screen as zach snuggled into her.
"someone leaked the album." he mumbled, keeping his concentration on playing around with the part of her shirt that he was playing with. "and i'm pretty sure it was someone on our team."
"someone leaked the album?" aniela frowned and zach nodded. "why are you so sure it was someone on your team?"
"because they were so quick to blame you and mads, they said that when you heard the album you probably leaked it to gain popularity." he continued to explain and aniela's frown only got more prominent on her face.
"but i haven't even heard any of the songs." aniela reminded him and zach just tightened his arms around her, deciding to lay his head on her shoulder and snuggling his face into her neck.
"neither has mads, i just think this is just some twisted publicity stunt so they can turn us and the fans against you." he shrugged, his concentration going back to playing with the hem of her t-shirt. he was really just trying to get his mind off of what happened so he wasn't so upset with the world.
"who do you think did it?" aniela asked and zach shrugged.
"i don't know, i don't care, jonah and corbyn are handling it." he told her and aniela nodded, just deciding in stay quiet and just being there to comfort him. "daniel's really upset. he put so much time in this album, we all have. and someone just went out and leaked it." he mumbled softly as aniela ran her fingers in his hair, trying to calm him down.
"we'll figure this out, okay? it'll be fine." she reassured him, as she went back to watching the tv, continuing to run her fingers through his hair the moment she realized that it was relaxing him.
soon enough aniela felt his breaths against her neck grow steady, and the hand that was playing with the bottom of her shirt had stopped and rested on her stomach now. zach had fallen asleep there and aniela was close behind, being that she was practically half asleep already.
"is zach here?" jack asked as he walked into the living room of the apartment.
