Dead and Crinkled Flowers [ON HOLD]

Chapter Nineteen: March 2015: Zachary

A few days went by and he hardly saw her which was fine by him. If she was gonna call Brooke things like that then just leave him instead of letting him say what actually happened then she wasn't worth it.

The popularity died down a little too which was also fine by him. He was getting tired of whining and he didn't like them anyway.

Zachary was still hurt from the breakup with Melanie and Brooke wouldn't leave his mind. He was so happy he was forgiven...
Brooke...

She didn't leave his mind once for an entire week... and she was still on his mind the next week too...

Finally he just picked up the phone and called her home number.
Ring
Ring
Ring

Was she gonna pick up?
Ring

Her home phone didn't have a message box.
Ri-

"Hello?"

"Hi, Brooke."

"Hi, Zachary. How are you?"

"I'm HAPPY!!!"

"Um... okay?"

"I'm SINGLE!!!"

"Wow! I'm... I'm surprised!"

"Why?"

"Well... I wasn't expecting you to be single, let alone happy about it."

"I'm just so happy about it."

"When did you breakup with her?"

"A couple weeks ago."

"Why?"

"We had a little incident..."

"What was the incident?"

"... and after the incident we broke up."

"Okay then."

"You've been on my mind lately."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"How long?"

"All week."

"Wh-what?"

"All week."  He smiled as he said it.

"..."

They chatted a bit more about life until he started driving the conversation back to "us" again.

"I have something to tell you..."

"What is it?"

"I love you." He sang it instead of just saying it.

"Zachary Kohl. If someone walks into my room and sees me blushing I will jump through the phone and smack you."

Was that a good reaction? "Do you love me too?"

"I feel like we've had this conversation before."

"I don't know. It's been a while since we've talked."

"This is true."

"I mean, I already know the answer, but I just..."

"I got a new phone finally. You should text me."

She gave him the number and hung up after chatting some more.

He got off the phone smiling and recieved a text immediately.

My Love watches me
I saw it in his eyes
And though I don't see his eyes now
I know that he is mine
I wish that I could hold him
In my arms, but I must wait
Until the day that I arrive again
Until we are approved to date
Goodnight, my sweet Lullaby
I love you with all my heart
Everyday, since I first kissed you
Everyday, till death do us part
