"Greetings From Califournia" | A Zach Abels Fanfic

" you get me so high "

zach's pov

i saw the lights of a car passing thru and i was close enough to almost hit it. i didn't. i cried all the way to Jesse's apartment & just thought about that year that me and Samantha got serious. we were thinking about having kids, buying a new house out the city, quiting music & making a new life. i never wanted to hurt her but sometimes i felt like she didn't want me anymore. but this time was way to serious, this time I knew I fucked up big time.

As I approached Jesse's apartment after 30 minutes of walking I saw Devon's car was gone, which was odd because she started being home after her pregnancy.

I opened the door & saw Jesse sitting on the sofa next to Martin ( their dog ) and writing in a journal.

" took you long enough. " said Jesse with a hard look on his face.

" Jessica told Samantha about the kiss. I don't know what to do " I said softly & sat next to Jesse.

" the band is going thru a lot of shit rn. we need to release a new album & a new tour in the next few weeks or they are calling us off. Devon is staying over at her parents until she is due. And you...you and Samantha need to figure this out or we are kicking you out the band " Jesse said with a serious tone.

" Samantha and I have nothing to do with this it's just- " I tried to explain but got cut off

" ZACH! this isn't a game. I got a kid on the way. Brandon & Mikey are thinking about joining HUNNY & Jeremy wants to go solo at this point. We can't break the band. We worked so hard. I gave my life up for this band. We work as a team Zach. If you don't figure this out I have no choice but to kick you out the group. " Jesse slammed the journal down & looked at me.

" you have 3 days Zach. 3 fucking days. I don't want more drama for the group. We have serious shit to do. Now go and fix it. Or leave the group and figure out on your own " Jesse said quietly & left outside.

Samantha wouldn't want to talk to me after what happened. She already made her choice. I don't want to lose what I worked so hard for. I'm just gonna have to work this out.

i woke up in the apartment. I don't even remember what happened last night. all I know I had to sleep on the couch & Samantha slept in the room. I heard her cry a few times but I knew she didn't want to talk to me then. I got up and slowly opened the room door. She was sleeping softly & looking like a angel.  I went to the closet and grabbed a few clothes & packed a bag. I knew she and I were done for. I knew she didn't want to be with me. She makes me so high that I just wanna run with her and never come back. That's how much I loved her. But it wasn't gonna be the same. As I quickly tried to grab the rest of my stuff I saw her awake on the bed & sitting and looking at me.

" your a fucking joke. I knew you didn't want to own up to your shit. you could at least tell me your sorry Zach. I loved you so much but you literally lied to me " said Samantha.

" I loved you so much. We just can't do this anymore. I lied to you. I cheated. I'm sorry for everything. I understand that you don't want me " I said as I grabbed my phone and looked at the time. It was 11:24 am. Still kinda early.

" I was only 15 years old when I started dating you. I barely known you. I just was a fan. I gave up my world, literally everything so we can do this. You lied & cheated but I love you regardless because I know you were hurt. I literally gave up my teenage years for you Zach. " said Samantha as she cried.

I sat next to her and looked at her brown eyes " I don't deserve you. I don't want to hurt you. I just want you to be happy & free. Let's just give it time. Let's see where everything takes us. No rush " I said and grabbed the last few of my stuff. I got up and looked at the apartment one last time before I left. I saw a picture of the day I asked her to marry me. I was so happy. Now I feel like I don't wanna live. It is what it is. I left and went down to the parking garage and started the route to Jesse's since we needed this album soon. Shit was serious now.

Music & touring was happening. Samantha and I are on a break. And new beginnings were happening. Let's see where it takes us.
