September 24, 2013
  I should know better than to piss my wife off, but apparently the idea of erasing the stress and worries from my mind Sunday was more than enough to piss her off. I’d woken up Monday with a severe hang over, a stunned friend, a confused crew member and a ticked wife, not good odds for me in any avenue. The hang over affected the ability to do what I had to, so by the end of Monday I had pretty much pissed everyone off. It made the ride from Arizona to San Diego quite tense and I’d opted to just take Alexander for the entire ride because really, he wouldn’t let me out of his sight anyway.

I’ll admit I shouldn’t have kissed Casey at all, I shouldn’t have drank at Velma’s party and I wouldn’t be so miserable now. Emily hadn’t said anything to be since Sunday afternoon unless it was related to Alexander. We’d set up here early and had lunch, but when it came time for the walk Emily came to the front with Alexander in his carry all, strapped in with pants on. I started to open my mouth but Taylor punched my arm hard.

“Don’t even say a word Zac; it’s clear she’s already mad at you for something.”

“But…”

He just stared at me and I didn’t say anything, I really couldn’t. Well, I could tell her why I didn’t want him on the walks period, it wasn’t the fans for the most part they were respectful and didn’t take his picture it was because of this jackass person. He refused to give me a name. He’d hurt him before for a punishment to me and apparently he was also mad at me for not answering Sunday night. He knew I’d been drunk, didn’t mean he wasn’t expressing how pissed he was. I spotted Carrick before we had to go out and I shot him a quick text asking him to stay with Emily and Alexander, I got a questioning look but I just asked him to please and he nodded.

We walked out at 3, Taylor did his speech there and I went across to get my picture. Emily was standing off to the right side with Carrick, Casey, and Robert. I got the picture and directed people and talked, and we stopped at the park and Taylor climbed a slide so I followed on the steps, it allowed me to see where Emily was, I found her off to the far right side but Casey had Alexander now. I felt my phone vibrate and checked.

Odd…your wife and son haven’t been on a walk since that first one…Your acceptance of your punishment?

Leave them alone, I told you before if you have a problem then you come to ME!

You have already seen me Zachary; you looked right at me. It would be so much easier if you just accepted and did what I asked.

No. I’m not going to send you any nude pictures of me. Neither front nor back.

I sent the message and several minutes passed, Taylor kept talking about our cause and he was nearing the end when I heard Alexander scream out. Evidently Taylor heard him as well because he stopped talking and looked at
the same time I did.

Casey had him still but where was Emily? She wasn’t standing beside him and Casey pointed toward the right and I followed spotted her running through the crowd of people. From the look on her face and the way she was moving, she wasn’t caring if people were knocked into. She seemed laser focuses on a girl ahead of her, I was torn between her and Alexander but because she was running away on her own I went after her, I wasn’t really caring either about offending anyone, thankfully they were smart enough to move out of my way. I screamed her name a few times as she shot across the street, horns blaring. She was seriously going to give me a heart attack from this. I had to pause for traffic but I saw her grab the back of the girl’s hair and yank hard, bringing her down quickly. I caught up to them but I wasn’t going to be stupid enough to try and stop her.

I’d never seen her do this in person and it was very eye opening, the way she was screaming about the girl hurting him and scaring him, how she threatened to pummel her face into Jello but when she went to actually punch her I stopped her, pulled her back.

“Calm down Emily.”

“Put me down.” She growled.

“He paid me! I swear to god I wouldn’t have done it had he not paid me!” She pleaded.

“Who paid you?”

“Some older man, he paid me a thousand just to pinch him.”

I could feel Emily shaking in my arms, she was furious enough and I knew letting her go would be a mistake.

“Did he give you a name?”

“No.”

“Did he say why?”

“No.”

“Fucking bitch!” Emily screamed.

I felt her nails dig into my arm and yes, it hurt but I held her tightly anyway.

“I’m sorry! I didn’t know who the baby belonged too.”

“Zac if you want to walk you better let me go.”

I might be insane, but I wasn’t stupid I moved her slightly so she couldn’t hold to that threat.

“You need to calm down Emily; you don’t need to go to jail.”

Taylor, Isaac, Carrick, Robert, and Casey arrived. Alexander was screaming by now and I knew he’d want one of us.

“Emily, why don’t you get Alexander, he’s going to want you.”

She turned and looked at me. “He wants you, so let me go.”

The girl got up and she couldn’t really leave, because we were around her, I couldn’t deny that Alexander wanted me it was Dada he was saying anyway, so I reluctantly let her go and took him from Casey. She walked calmly to me and pulled up his right pants leg up, seeing the red mark did nothing but thankfully Casey and Taylor were there to block her.

Taylor was the one who called the police, and then he and Isaac returned to the walk to finish it and guide the fans back to the venue. I remained with Emily and the others and waited for the police. Casey got Emily to walk away with him to calm down until they arrived.

The girl admitted to the officers that she had pinched him and gotten in his face to scare him, Casey and Emily both agreed with her statement but no one believed she was paid to do it, however I was sure jackass had paid her.
The police arrested her but said that it was unlikely to lead to anything, because he was ok.

As we walked back I noticed that Emily looked guilty that he’d been hurt, but didn’t seem to care about the long black strands of hair she’d apparently ripped from the girls head. Alexander clung to my shirt and I could see this as being a potential problems. Once back to the venue, I directed Emily to the back room.

“What’s wrong? It’s not your fault.”

“The hell it’s not Zac, I chose to take him both times.”

“Not your fault, you didn’t do this.”

“Is he ok?”

“Yeah, he’s just laying here. Although we have sound check and I don’t know if he’s going to let me leave.”

“I can handle him, it’ll be ok. I can find toys and he should be fine.”

“Are you ok for real?”

“Yes. But, I guess you’re right. No more walks for him, thankfully not many are left.”

I hated that prospect. “I think it’s just too many people and we can take him for a walk just us, didn’t you and
Casey take him for a walk in Arizona?”

“Yeah, we did.”

“See, we can do that too. It doesn’t have to be during the walk with all of us.”

“True, ok, let me see if he’ll come to me and you have sound check.”

He actually went to her quite easily and I snuck out, I didn’t hear him cry so that was a good thing. We finished sound check before I felt the phone vibrate; I was headed to the shower anyway so I waited until I was there.

I must admit, I under estimated your wife…Watching her cross that street was heart pounding.

She doesn’t take kindly to people hurting our son, neither do I. If you want to continue this little game then you should back off doing stupid shit like that. I told you; if you have a problem come to me. Leave them out.

You refused to acknowledge your punishment. I’m not even asking you to send picture with your face. I’m sure you didn’t lie to me before.

I don’t send nudes, period.

Your mistake then….

I took my shower, we did the meet and greet with fans and all of them asked if both Emily and Alexander were ok, which I assured them they were. I had dinner with her and Alexander on the bus, the red mark was already fading so it wasn’t as bad as we feared.

“Have you seen my phone?” She asked.

“Last time I saw it, you were in the office.”

She ran up and came back down with it, checking messages.

“Are you still pissed off at me about Sunday?”

“You were drunk Zac, your just glad Robert believed that was the only reason.”

“I have no idea what came over me, I have noticed they’ve been spending more time together.”

She laughed. “Yeah, you were so passed out when your phone woke me up you didn’t even hear them having sex in the bathroom.”

“Seriously?”

“Afraid so but its ok, even if something occurs afterwards, he uses protection. Although, part of me hopes that he can be happy with Robert too.”

“I think he can be Robert seems to be a good man, even if he does stare at me.”

She smiled. “You noticed?”

“I thought it was you or Casey, turns out it was all three of you. Never felt like such a piece of meat before.”

“Yeah you have, plenty of times.”

Alexander finished his peas and we finished our sandwiches, before I headed inside. The actual show was perfect, no hiccups or problems. By the time we got the show done, showers again, and met with fans outside it was after one. Alexander was asleep already and thankfully, even when everyone went to bed he didn’t wake up. I quietly crawled into my own bunk and laid down, at 3 my phone vibrated and I was expecting it.

I am sure everyone else is asleep. One more chance Zachary. I’m not asking for much…Look, I’ll even go first…

The attached picture was indeed not one of me, but of him. I kind of wanted to throw up, not because it was a picture of a penis, but because this particular one was hard and I could see the shiny blue material of my previous thongs wrapped around it. He sent two more pictures after that, including one of semen all over them. Yeah, I did gag there but I knew if I got up, I risked waking up Alexander or Emily.

See, I was willing to share with you. I’m not even asking for you to be hard, just a picture.

I’ve already told you no. I’m not taking pictures of my penis soft or hard for you.

I am disappointed; I guess you need a harder punishment for failure to follow directions.

I didn’t reply but I did wonder what he could mean. Could I do it? Sure, I could take a picture and send it, he can’t prove it’s me and even if he leaked it online there weren’t very many people on the planet that would instantly know it was me, the problem was it crossed a line that I couldn’t because sharing pictures implied I want more and I don’t. He’d already gotten sexual talk, what more could he want?

The late night messages and constant contact was wearing on me, it was a chore to keep the messages deleted so no one saw them and I was sure Carrick was beginning to question the idea that it was just simply pictures. Added, now he was pinching my son and paying people to do that? I glanced over at him sleeping soundly, it was getting serious and I knew that I couldn’t keep putting it off. If this person ever truly hurt him I’d never forgive myself and I was already responsible for two pinches, he should have never been hurt. Emily hadn’t looked all that pleased when the girl said someone paid her either, even if she didn’t truly believe it.

I couldn’t keep doing this, his ‘request’ were getting personal and that wasn’t a good sign, was it worth it to keep on following or was it better to just tell Emily the truth and stop? Ultimately, the decision to maintain the secret prevailed…
