"Summer Of 22"

•.Chapter 20.•

•.One Week Later, Zach's POV.•

This past week has been hell for me, all I see on social media is Kay and I kissing. It go so bad to the point where I deleted the apps.. but that isn't the point, I can't contact Y/n. She blocked me on everything, and Jack will barely even talk to be. Just to sum this whole week up, I've been a terrible wreck. I told Randy that I needed break, because it's too much. He of course understood, and let me have as much time as I needed.

I've been staying in my room most of the time, I've worked out a little bit, just to help get my mind off of it and to help ease my stress.. but it all comes falling back..

I just got done taking a shower, and decided to go over to Corbyns house since he invited me. I got ready, then said bye to my family and left. As soon as I pulled up, I saw Jacks car parked in the driveway. I honestly didn't really care, but he doesn't want to be around me right now, so this will be interesting. I park, then went up to the door and walked inside.

Co: "Zach!"

He said, I slightly smiled and shut the door behind me.

Za: "Hey."

Co: "Wassup?"

He said as we did our handshake.

Za: "Nothing much."

I watched as he poured some liquor in his glass.

Co: "Well, I'm glad you're here. The guys are in the back."

He said, I nodded. Then we walked outside to the backyard where the others were sitting around, playing music.

Co: "Look who arrived."

They all looked at me, everyone's face lighting up except for Jack.

Da: "Hey!"

Jo: "Zach!"

I smiled as they gave me a hug, as well as sharing our handshake.

Za: "Hey, boys."

I said, glancing at Jack who wasn't looking at me.

Jo: "Glad to see you."

Da: "Yeah, how have you been?"

He said, handing me a beverage that had liquor in it.

Za: "Oh, I've been ok."

I said, sitting down with them.

Co: "Well, you're gonna be more than ok tonight."

He said, holding his glass up, I could tell he was a little tipsy. I chuckled a little.

A few minutes go by and we've just been talking, relaxing by the pool which was very much needed. They know how to get my mind off of things. But Jack still hasn't said a word to me, I don't even know if he's looked at me.

Jo: "Jack, we haven't heard from you for a good thirty minutes."

He said, Jack just nodded.
