•Chapter 32•

•The Next Morning•

I wake up to the sun hitting my eyes, I turn around and open them to see an empty spot in the bed where Zach was laying.. I sit up, rubbing my eyes. I then get up and go to the bathroom, brushing my teeth and splashing water on my face to help me get woken up. I then dry my face and walk out. I go out into the hall to hear talking, I walk over to the sliding door where it was cracked open. I looked out to see Zach on he phone with someone.

I stood there and listened, it sounded like he was arguing.. he looked frustrated too. Then that's when I heard him say..

Za: "Listen, Brook.. I'm sorry I hurt you. You're an amazing girl and all, but I love Y/n.. and you know that. I just think you should find someone else, it won't be hard because you're a beautiful, smart, and kind woman."

I stood there listening still, he's talking to Brook.. and he's being honest. I smiled as he talked about how he loved me, but I also felt a little bad at the same time..

Za: "Okay, well.. I'm gonna go. I wish you luck in life, and I hope you understand."

He then pulls his phone away from his ear and hangs up. Then he placed the phone down on the table in front of him. I open the door more and walk out, closing it behind me.

Y/n: "Hey.."

I said walking up to him, he looks up at me with a slight smile.

Za: "Hey."

Then he grabs my hands and pulls me to sit on his lap.

Y/n: "Are you ok?"

I said, he looked down, drawing figure eights on my thigh.

Za: "Yeah.."

He said, I knew he was frustrated though.

Y/n: "I heard."

He then chuckled a little.

Za: "What part?"

He said, looking out at the pool.

Y/n: "The part where you said you loved me, and you hoped she understood and stuff."

I said, smiling. He then looks at me.

Za: "Oh, so the part where I was being honest?"

He said, smiling, I nod. Then he chuckled.

Y/n: "I'm proud of you.."

I said, he furrowed his eyebrows.

Za: "Why?"

Y/n: "You told the truth."

I said, he nodded.

Za: "Yeah.. I didn't tell her though. She called me and told me that she saw a picture of us at the beach last night, kissing.. apparently paparazzi were spying on us."

He said, shaking his head a little.

Y/n: "When are they not?"

I said, being honest. He laughed a little.

Za: "You know.. in a way I'm kind of glad that she found out.. because now it's over."

I nod, looking down. He looked at me as it went silent..

Za: "You don't feel bad do you?"

He said, noticing.

Y/n: "I don't know.."

I said, shrugging a little.

Za: "Well, you have no reason to feel bad."

He said, pulling me a little closer.
