Yes I know this is super late. I feel really bad about it. I had lost my head in video games and felt like I didn’t have the right mind set to complete this story, but for the people out there still reading this I will try my hardest. The chapters may not be long or will come in different sizes but I’ll try my best. This is my last year in high school, and its already half way done! So after that I figure id be spending more time writing. I really don’t know if I like the way this story is going anymore I may just start a completely different one. If you guys want me to start something new or keep this one going a comment would be nice to see. But other than that just let me know.

I stared at Zane still shocked by what i had just heard. By the look on his face my pause scared him. His eyebrows started to furrow and the corners of his mouth started to turn into a frown, but he was determined to keep a serious face. I didn’t really know what to think at this point. The last relationship I had was with a total jerk that used me and then left me for my so called best friend. Its what usually happened but still. I mean I do like him a lot, probably more than I should. I cant see into the future, so how would I know what would happen. Plus something doesn’t feel right about him. Something is just off I don’t know what.

As I sat there lost on my own thought Zane sat down probably becoming quite frustrated at this point as I stared straight past him thinking about the past and future, his mainly. “Well..” I started then trailed off. His head sprung up to the sound of my voice expecting some big answer probably a yes, but from his point of view most likely a no, “I don’t think it would cause too much harm. Just how will I know you wont leave me?”

Zane stood up and took my hands into his and ran his thumb across my hand gently as if I would break, “I’ve never felt this strongly for someone. I know its really cheesy and over said but it’s the truth. I really want to try this, and not mess it up.”

I stared at him a little confused. Who would have thought Zane would be a sappy one. Not me obviously. He probably got a lot of girls all the time, but the look in his eyes is defeat, not from losing a game like maybe the other girls would be to him but to losing someone he was trying to cling to. “Alright, yes. Lets do this.” His facial expression completely changed. He was happy and not hopeless looking.

The whole time this was going on Mary was looking at us from above a book thinking we didn’t notice. Once I had said yes she nodded and smiled then continued reading.  Zane and I said our goodbyes to her after we finished out ice cream then headed back out to his car. We got in and I ended up falling asleep on our ride home.

When I woke up we were parking in front of his apartment.  “Why good morning sleeping beauty. You were asleep for some time.” I looked at him as I sat up out of my awkward sleeping position. My neck hurt from using the door as a pillow for god knows how long.  I slowly climbed out of his truck and walked around to the back of the car as I yawned to grab my back from him. We took everything up in one trip and it was great.

 I plugged my dead phone into the wall to charge the moment we got up there, hopefully no one was trying to reach me, “I’m going to take a hot shower.”

“Don’t hurt yourself~” He half sang to me as I walked away. Since we were together now I figured this wouldn’t feel that awkward anymore. I walked into his room and pulled out a green t-shirt from his dresser and a pair of shorts from my bag then hopped into the shower. To my surprise there was already an array of female bathing products brand new. As if he knew I would say yes and this would happen, but how could he. Not like he is some kind of psychic.

 I got in and turned the water on to scolding hot. I usually hate it but it didn’t feel as hot as usual and it felt great on my sore neck. I took my time that was for sure making sure every part of my body was clean before I was done. I got out and dried myself off before using the towel to wrap around my hair. I got dressed and cleaned the smeared make up off my face. Once I was done I opened the bathroom door and watched as the steam slowly filed out of the room. I took the towel off my head and started to rub it against my hair roughly wanting it to dry faster. I flipped my hair back over then sprayed some volumizing mist I had in my purse on it before taking the hair dryer to it. Once  was done I flipped my hair over to see that it was now red. Why is it red? I didn’t dye it all I did was wash it. I grabbed the shampoo and saw that Zane had put red hair dye in it. “Zane…what did you do.”
