IT'S LOVE WHEN IT BURNS (Zach Herron)

10

Annishk's POV

I went to the yard and saw him kicking a cemented bench. I walked up to him and wrapped my arms around him from behind. I know this would relax him really well.

"Baby, please go. I'm not in the mood." I turned him around. I wrapped my left hand around his neck and held his face in my right forcing him to look at me.

"Look at me Corbs, please?" He looks towards me. He wraps his hands around my waist.

"Babe, it was just a song... Don't take it seriously. He's just a friend of mine, no more." I say softly.

"Answer me honestly Ana, do you really like me or I'm just forcing this on you?" He asks. I was taken a back by this question. But to be honest I do have feelings for Zach but what I feel for Corbyn is much more stronger.

"Of course I like you! If I wouldn't have have the feelings I have for you, I wouldn't say yes when you asked me to be your girlfriend! But why'd you ask?"

"Because whenever I see him flirting wih you, you act like you don't mind it. It seems like you enjoy your time with him more than me." He says with his voice raised. Ok, now I move away from him.

"First of all, when did he flirt with me?" I say with equal aggression.

"First, I hope you remember when you fainted in football match? (I nodded) He picked you up in bridal style and soon after he was giving you mouth to mouth cpr. He could've asked me to do it since I'm your boyfriend but no he did it himself. Then, during your dance competition, he was literally drooling over you. And then not to mention, you guys were publically flirting during our assessment test. And now this? How am I supposed to stay calm when all of this happened?!!" He literally shouted on me.

"Corbyn you're being over dramatic!! When I fainted you should've come forth to give me cpr but you didn't so he did. Everyone likes my dancing so he must be just complimenting me but you always are being over protective. And we were not flirting during the test but since we became friends after so long time that's why we were just catching up with each other's life. And this was just a song for god's sake!!!! Stop being so dramatic!" I snapped back at him.

"You're taking his side? You're literally defending him?!! You're my girlfriend so it's my duty to be protective over you!! Don't you see that I feel insecure when you're enjoying your time with some bitch when I should be the one to give you happiness!!! Now I'm starting to think that either you're being oblivious to him making his moves on you when you belong to me, when only I have a right to look at you that way, when you belong to me, when you're mine!!! Or you're liking his attention-"

"Okay Corbyn, that's it!!! I'm not an object that I belong to someone or I'm a property of someone!! And you saying that is questioning my character!!! Actually you know, he's not a bitch, you are!! It was just a game for everyone's enjoyment but you're make an unnecessary big deal of it due to your fucking insecurity!!! You know what, just fuck off!! I don't give a damn about your insecurity!!" I shout, my voice cracking with every word I say. And with that I storm away inside.

As soon as I reach inside I start crying and crash into Zach's arms without realising it.

Zach's POV

It broke me seeing her crying like this. It was partially beacuse of me but still he doesn't deserves her. I know you might be thinking how do I know that they just had a fight. To be honest their words were clearly audible to us when they were shouting. Thank god Jo's parents weren't at home today.

I spoke soothing words in her ears and she started calming down. Holding her in my arms is the best feeling ever. I don't understand why doesn't she breaks up with him.

"Hey, you alright?" I ask her softly. She nods but refuses to leave me. It just made the whole zoo erupt in my stomach yet once again.

"Shh! It's alright. Shh.... Calm down" I repeated these words in her ear and soon she went back to normal and pulled away from me. She smiled weakly at me and I returned it.

"Guys, sorry, all of this became a mess because of me. I think I should go home" she mumbles.

"Hey! Are you sure you wanna go home? And It wasn't your fault. In fact it wasn't anyone's fault except for me. I..... I just... I... It was-"

"Don't worry. It's alright Zach. Just forget it. Can you please drop me home?" She asks me.

"Of course! Bye guys!!"

"Bye everyone"

"Bye!!"

Annishka's POV

It's been a week since my and Corbyn's fight. And I don't regret it. Because he was being unreasonable. Moreover yet, till date he hasn't said a single sorry.

But Zach and my bond has become strong I can say we've become kinda best friends. I totally regret being a bitch to him in the start. He's really a nice person insides. Besides, now I totally ignore Corbyn like he isn't even present because he crossed his limit that day and seems like he doesn't gives a damn about it.

Right now, we're at my house since my parents are out for some business deal for a month and Jonah said he'll always give me company and got him for all my problems and needs. Bless him for being so kind. He's now a like brother which I never had earlier.

So right now we're chilling in my pool and everyone's enjoying their time with each other except for one devil, that is, Mr. Corbyn Besson, talking to someone on his phone with a smile all the time.

Even after our fight, I miss him to be honest. We were so perfect but I didn't know a single fight could change things so drastically.

"Ana! Can the girls come here so we could play some games that require pairing up?"

"Sure but does that mean Kay bitch has to come as well?" I ask with most polite words possible.

"Yes..." Zach said. My head snaps to him. His face holds a sorry expression.

"Why may I know?"

" 'cause we have equal no.of boys and girls and if a single one misses out we'll not be able to play." Jack says in a 'duh' tone. I playfully roll my eyes at him.

"Yeah then let me just call-"

"Anns, you just chill I'll do that" Zach says with a smile and I return it. After a 30 seconds or something Zach ended the call with a "yo". Yeah, that's 'bye' in his language.

"They're like just a block away so they must be arriv-" Doorbell interrupts him and we all laugh. Of course! It's the girls.
