Stressed Out // Zach

Request for Jodielynn023

A quick note. I followed most of the request, but since their already famous, I decided make it seem like their career wouldn't take off from the interview, but rather increase in popularity. I hope you understand.

Zach's POV

We were all sitting on the couch, scrolling through our phones, when Jonah jumps up with excitement.

"Oh my god guys, guess what", he says with his eyebrows raised.

"Teen Vogue just asked us to do an interview in two days", he announces.

"Their like one of the biggest media outlets in the US", Corbyn says in shock.

"That's crazy", Jack says excitedly.

We all clap and cheer, excited for such a big opportunity.

"I made it mom", Jack says humorously.

We all laugh, then eventually go back to our previous activities.

I honestly can't believe it.

This is a huge deal.

Every other interview we've ever done has been with small media companies or podcasts, but this was so much bigger.

I get nervous from interviews as it is, and I don't think the fact that this one is super important helps that.

I always psyche myself out, and then one of the boys sees me twiddling my thumbs, or bouncing my leg, and they somehow calm me down.

I really do appreciate them, but I hate how nervous I get.

Everyone else is super confident and bold, and I'm the polar opposite.

Maybe it'll be different this time, in a good way.

Or it could be different in a bad way.

Two days later...

General POV

It was the morning of the interview.

Ever since he got the announcement, Zach had been freaking out.

All he could think about was messing up, or answering a question wrong.

What if I space out?

What if I answer a question with a stupid answer?

What if I stutter?

Zach could hardly sleep the night before, his mind racing with anxious thoughts.

When he heard his alarm go off the next morning, he opened his eyes feeling relaxed and somewhat well rested.

Until he realized what the band was doing today.

His small grin changed to a blank expression within seconds.

But Zach convinced himself to reluctantly get out of his bed, walk to his closet, and put on a black sweatshirt, denim jeans and black vans.

He closes his closet door and runs his fingers through his curled hair, then opens his door and goes quickly down the stairs, being hit by the smell of pancakes.

When Zach gets downstairs, he sees all the other boys sitting around the table, talking excitedly about the interview, while Jonah is in the kitchen making breakfast.
