Hi, Zach here.

Chapter 6: "Hi, Zach here."

༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄༄

I wake up, confused at my surroundings, I try to get up but something is heavy on me, Zach's arm tightly around my waist, oh my god! I stayed the night, ma's probably worried sick. Ugh.

"What are you doing here?" Zach asks as he jumps up, his eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"You dont remember anything?"

"The last thing i remember is getting home, i dont know what happened afterwards."

"You asked me to stay with you, i was gonna leave as soon as you fell asleep but..."

"But what?"

"I gotta go." I grab my phone and run out of his room, down the stairs and out the house.

Getting into a uber

Zach's pov:

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I sit there confused, I didn't mind waking up with her next to me, I was drunk lastnight and she was kind enough to stay by my side. There's something about her that i just can't seem to figure out though.

I smile at the thought of her, She's beautiful, her long light brown hair, her diamond eyes, they tell a story but she doesn't allow me to read them. Her freckles spread lightly across her beautiful nose. Her soft pink lips. Her body has curves in all the right places. Damn she's perfect.

Wait what? No Zach, you can't fall for her, you don't fall for girls, you dont date girls, you just use them. You're the bad guy and you will hurt her.

Stupid Zach!

I stand up and head to the bathroom, take a shower and get dressed into a t-shirt and shorts before heading down stairs for breakfast.

"Mornings Kayls!"

"Morning Zackee!"

I take some milk out the fridge and boil the kettle, then add a teabag and three teaspoons of sugar to a cup, when the kettle clicks i add the boiling water and some milk before stirring my tea. I pop some toast and sprinkle cheese on top of it, closing the sandwich and heading back up to my room.

After I've downed my breakfast, and drank my tea, i takeout my sketchbook. What? don't judge me, I've sketched since i was a kid, it just helps you know. It helps me clear my head when im stressed, confused or angry. I turn to a clean page. I stare at the page, What to sketch? I think about the first time i looked into Elles eyes, as time just stopped and nothing else seemed to matter, i start sketching her.

Once im done, i take a moment to take in the creation i just made. Beautiful. I get interrupted as Kayla walks in, i quickly close the sketchbook, trying not to look weird.

"What are you doing?"

"Urhm. Nothing!"

She walks over and grabs the sketchbook, as i try taking it from her it falls, hitting the ground, it lies open on the page where i sketched Elle. Kayla's eyes widen in shock, i quickly bend down, picking it up and shutting it close.

"I-i-is that Elle?" She stutters

"No!"

"You like her, dont you?"

"Don't be ridiculous!"

"Then why'd you sketch her?"

I look down, not knowing what to say.

She comes closer to me pulling me in for a hug.

"Don't worry, I won't tell her."

Elle's pov

~~~~~~~~~~~

After getting home, and explaining to ma that after the party I slept at Kayla's, as it was too late to drive home. I get into the shower as thoughts of Zach errupts in my mind. He's so confusing, one moment he's ignoring me and the next he's asking me to stay with him. I think about how everytime i stare into his eyes, i just feel so...so alive...so powerful...so safe. Ugh what is he doing to me?

I get out the shower and dry myself, i decide to just put on some pajama shorts and a pajama t-shirt. I head downstairs and make myself a cup of lemon tea. Then go back up to my room. I place my cup on my bedside table and take my journal out from my draw aswell as the pen Kayla gave me.

I write about Kayla, I write about the party, i write about my English assignment but i mostly write about Zach.

I close the journal as my phone vibrates on my bed.

𝗨𝗡𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪𝗡 𝗡𝗨𝗠𝗕𝗘𝗥: 𝗛𝗶, 𝗭𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲.

I roll my eyes and save his number

𝗘𝗹𝗹𝗲: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁?

𝗭𝗮𝗰𝗵: 𝗪𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗵, 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲?

𝗘𝗹𝗹𝗲: 𝗧𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄?

𝗭𝗮𝗰𝗵: 𝗖𝗼𝗼𝗹, 𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘂𝗽 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘁.

𝗭𝗮𝗰𝗵: 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗸𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗯𝘁𝘄

𝗘𝗹𝗹𝗲: 𝗢𝗸𝗮𝘆. 𝗡𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺

𝗭𝗮𝗰𝗸: 𝗦𝗲𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗱 :)

I smile at the message, holding the phone to my chest as i fall asleep peacefully. Nap time
