•Chapter 4•

•Zach's POV•

I haven't been able to sleep all night, I didn't even eat all day either. Jack had been trying to get me out of my room all day but I've stayed away. Of course I feel terrible.. I made a mistake, I messed up and now I'm probably never going to be able to fix this.. I miss her, I wanna be with her and tell her how sorry I am..

I've tried texting, and calling her but I get nothing.. which I understand she's upset with me.. I am too, I actually hate myself right now.. I wish I never made this careless mistake.. I was being selfish and didn't realize what I had.
I just laid in bed staring up at my ceiling, all I could think about was Y/n.. and the way she started crying..

I turn around on my side and stare outside my window as it rained, which didn't make anything better. I got more and more angry at myself as I just thought about it over and over again.. I grab a pillow and throw it against the wall across the room as I finally blew.. I sat up and buried my face in the palm of my hands. This is all my fault.

I look to my side at my nightstand and see our picture sitting there, and to think that I brought another girl in here with that sitting there, is sickening. How could I do this? I'm a monster.. I have to be, no normal man would do this..

•Two Days Later, Y/n's POV•

Kaylee has been staying with me for the past couple of days, making sure I'm ok. Which I'm not, but it's still nice to have someone who cares about me here.. she ended up blocking Zach on everything I had for me, because I couldn't do it.. when I tried, I just ended up crying.

I was sitting on the couch with Kaylee beside me as we watched our favorite series, then I realized something.. I have some things that I left behind at Zach's house, things that were important to me.. like my moms charm bracelet that she had given to me, and a lot of my clothes..

Y/n: "Oh my gosh.."

I groaned as my head fell back, Kaylee looked at me.

Ka: "What?"

Y/n: "I have a lot of stuff that I left at Zach's house.."

I said, regretting that I even thought about it..

Ka: "Well, I can get Jack to bring the stuff over, or I can go get it.."

I shake my head no.

Y/n: "No.. I shouldn't make you guys do things for me just because I'm too scared to face my issues..."

Ka: "Y/n, you aren't making us do anything.. we want to help you, we love and care about you."

I smile.

Y/n: "Well, thank you.. I really do appreciate it but I'd rather go.. and if he isn't there then I should be fine, I still have a key."

She sighs.

Ka: "Okayyy, whatever you say."

I smile.

I then get up and go to my room, grabbing an outfit and getting ready. This is the first time I've gotten ready in two days, which doesn't seem too long but for me, it seems like it's been two years.. I finally get done and Kaylee insisted on at least going with me, so I let her. We finally arrive, it's currently twelve in the afternoon and Zach isn't here, like I expected.

I didn't really think I would ever come back to this house after that night, but here I am.. We both get out and walk over to the door, I unlock it and take a deep breath before walking in. Once we get inside, i led Kaylee upstairs to Zach's room and as I opened the door, the moment of seeing him with the girl replayed in my head.. I immediately look away from the bed and realize how trashed his room is..

I guess he isn't doing too good either.. I rush over to the closet where my things are, trying to avoid my surroundings so that I didn't cry. I managed to find my things and I put them in boxes, the ones that they came in with and we started taking things to the car.

•Zach's POV•

I had left my guitar at home so I decided to go get it during my lunch break, as I pulled into my house, I saw Kaylees  car parked in the driveway. I was confused, so I get out and walk to my door which was wide open.. I then walk inside and as I walked in, I saw y/n walking down the stairs with a box in her hands..

•Y/n's POV•

As I was taking the last box downstairs, I see Zach walk through the door, causing me to almost drop the box. I was shocked, and scared to see him.. I could tell he was shocked to see me as well..

Za: "Y/n.."

I stood there for a few seconds, then I continued to walk downstairs, walking past him. I heard him say my name again as he followed me outside.

Za: "Y/n."

I ignored him again and put the box in the car, as I turned around to walk to the other side to get in, he stopped me, getting right in front of me.

Za: "Y/n, please just listen to me.."

Y/n: "I don't want to talk, Zach.. there isn't anything that you can say to change what I saw the other night."

Za: "I know.. I'm so sorry, y/n.."

I looked down as the tears began to form, not now.. I shake my head and look away, hoping he wouldn't see me cry, but I failed.

Za: "Y/n.."

Y/n: "I'm fine.."

Za: "No you aren't.. you're not fine, I'm not even fine. I fucked up, and I'm sorry.."

I stayed silent for a second.

Y/n: "Saying sorry doesn't fix the past.. I just don't understand what happened, I have so many things going through my head right now.. like why? Why did you do that? And how long?"

He shakes his head, looking down.

Za: "I don't know why I did it.. I was drinking earlier that night but other than that, I don't have any excuse. I admit I was being selfish and stupid.. but I promise this was the only time."

I sigh.

Y/n: "Zach, why were you drinking? You know you're underage. But still I don't think that's an excuse.."

He nods and looks down, then Kaylee comes out.

Ka: "Okay, I checked and that was the last-"

Then she saw Zach and stopped.

Ka: "What are you doing here?"

Za: "I came to pick something up, didn't expect you to be here."

Ka: "Well, we are, but you won't have to worry because we're leaving now."

She said signaling me to get in the car, Zach grabbed my hand as I began to walk away.

Za: "Y/n.. please don't.."

He said looking me deeply in the eyes, even though I wanted to stay and give in, I couldn't.. this was the man that cheated on me.. I would be stupid to stay with him.. I finally take my hand away and walk to the other side, getting in. Zach watched as I did so, then Kaylee got in and we drove off.. and that would be the last time I ever saw him.. or that's what I thought..
