Another Shot

Wyatts POV
"Hi" I said. "Hi" she says. This is extremely awkward. "Im just gonna, give you some space" dad says walking away. "He actually found you" i say. "Yeah... god you look like me" she says astounded. "Thats genetics for you" I say. She smiled lightly. There was a long silence. "I dont know what to say... Im sorry" she says. "What are you sorry for?" I ask. "For leaving you" she says. "Dont apologize for that. Im glad you did, or I wouldnt be where I am today" I say. "So, you're not mad?" She asks. "No. How could I be mad? I would get pissed too in your situation. My dad literally fucked you over" I say. She laughed a bit. "Yeah" she says. There was another awkward silence. "We can talk more in the morning" I say. She nods.

Its morning. Im afraid to leave my room. I can smell something. It smells like... food? Thats weird, dad never cooks. I walked out into the cabin. My dad is actually making eggs. "Good morning" Dad says. "Are you ok?" I ask. "Im fine. Why?" He asks. "You're cooking" I say. Zephyr laughed. "Knew it" she says. "Shut. Up." Dad growled. Dad gave me a plate of eggs. "Are you allergic to anything Zephyr?" He asks. "Not anything you cook eggs with, unless you cook it with pineapple" she says. "You could have just said pineapple" he says handing her a plate. The tension here is unbearable. We were silent when eating. "Luna and I started dating" I say trying to start conversation. "Finally" dad says rolling his eyes. "Oh! You're gonna have quite the paper to write" I say. "Whys that?" He asks. "Your son, caught a kingsmen" I say. He choked. "A real one?" He says surprised. I nod. He smiled. "Thats amazing! Oh my god, Im so proud of you!" He says hugging me. He pulled away really fast in realization. "Are you ok?" He asks. "Im fine. Andys the one that got shot" I say. "Is he ok?" He asks. I nod. "Whats a kingsmen?" Zephyr asks. "They're basically like a gang who terrorizes the town" Dad says. "And you caught one of the members?" She asks. "Im an officer" I say nodding. Her eyebrows shot up, shocked. "Oh" she says. "What do you do?" I ask. "Im an author" she says. "Cool" I say. There was a knock at the door. I opened it. "There you are! You scared me! Your dad wants me to watch you and Im actually scared to disobey him when it comes to you so please tell me when you're staying home" Marshall says coming in. "Good to know you're scared to disobey me" dad says. Marshall looked over. "Shit" he says. "Shit indeed. Im holding you to that" dad says. "Nice to see you too" Marshall says. Zephyr cleared her throat. We looked at her. Marshall looked back at my dad concerned. "Oh" he says. Him and dad shared the same concerning look. Zephyr looked at them and then me. "Come on Wyatt. Why dont you show me around?" She says. "Ok" I say.

"Was that your uncle?" She asks. "Yes. He's also my boss. Do you have any siblings?" I ask. "No. You dont have to worry about an extended family on my side. My own mother disowned me" she says. "Why?" I ask. She hesitated. I stopped walking. "Oh" I say looking down. She stopped and turned back to look at me. "It was me, wasnt it?" I ask. "No, it wasnt you. It was me. I was a slut and my mother knew it. You were just the proof she needed to send me packing" she says. I looked away. She walked to me. "Wyatt, I dont care about my mother. I care about you. Thats why Im here. Because I dont want you to feel the same way I do about my own mother" she says. "I dont hate you" I say. She smiled. "Im glad to hear that" she says.

Patchs POV
"You actually brought her back?" Marshall asks. "I told you I was. Wyatt wanted to meet her and she wanted to see him" I say. "And how are you holding up?" He asks. I sighed. "Im miserable. The only good thing thats happened, is Wyatt telling me he wasnt mad at me" I say. "What happened with her?" He asks. "Zephyr? She kinda reminds me of when Luna and Wyatt argue. Shes angry and she gets her anger through by being a sarcastic bitch" I say. He stared at me for a moment. "And yet you love her" he says. I face palmed myself and wiped my hand down my face. "It doesnt matter. She will never trust me after what I did. Even though I think shes the most wonderful person ever, I have to accept that shes only here for Wyatt, and that soon she'll be gone again" I say. "It wasnt completely your fault Patch. She was in the wrong too. What made you like her?" He asks. I laughed. "Absolutely everything. Shes perfect. Spending two days in a car with her did a lot for my emotions" I say. "Youll figure it out Patch. Right now, I think you should focus on getting some alone time with her. You both need to have an honest conversation with each other." He says. "I know." I say. "Good, and after that, you both need to talk with Wyatt together" he says. "Thank you Marshall" I say. He smiled. "Get some rest dude. You look more terrible than usual" he says. I laughed. "I will" I say.

Zephyrs POV
I knew we had to leave when I saw the looks on their faces. They needed to talk in private. Wyatts been showing me around the town. Its small and cute. Im surprised someone like Patch came from a town like this. He is a lot different then I remember. I dont really like remembering that night. Not because of what happened but because of the aftermath. Patch was so gentle. I liked being in his arms. More of his grasp but still. He smelled so good. Maybe I was just drunk but I dont remember much else. "This is the dealership. They do practically everything thats vehicle related" Wyatt says. "Weird but ok" i say. "If you cheated on me, I will not accept your depression as an excuse" we hear. We looked over. "Luna!" Wyatt says. He walked to her. They hugged. "Thats my mom, and I would never" he says. "I know. Im just messing with you. You're to much of a pussy" she says. "I like her" I say. "Luna, this is Zephyr, my mom. Zephyr, this is my girlfriend Luna" Wyatt says. "Nice to meet you" I say. She smiled. "I see you didnt want to show off your terrible driving" Luna says. "Shut up! Im not a bad driver!" Wyatt says. Dear god, they argue like me and Patch. "Do you still want me to come over tonight?" Luna asked. "Yeah. Definitely" he says. She got a call. "Ill see you later" she says running off. "You guys are cute" I say. "Thanks" Wyatt says.

We're back. Wyatts uncle is gone. Luna is here. Shes on the couch, on her phone. Wyatt and Patch are messing around together across the room. I watched them play, its really funny. I didnt know Patch had this side to him. "Cute isnt he?" Luna asks. "Yeah" I say in a trance. I snapped out of it. "I mean, yeah! Wyatt is funny looking. I mean, they are being funny" I stuttered. Luna smirked at me. "I dont want to pry into your life but just so you know, everyone deserves a second chance. You both made mistakes, and you can both overcome it. And something tells me, you think he's worthy of another chance" she says. I looked back at Patch and then at Luna. "Please marry my son" I say. She laughed. "Sure, but not any time soon" she says. Wyatt and Luna went to wyatts room. I stood up and went over to Patch. "Hey" I say. "Hey" he says. "We need to talk" I say. He nods. "Come. Its better if we do it outside" he says.

We're outside now. "What do we do about him? This is gonna be hard for him after you leave" Patch says. "I was thinking about that. What if I... didnt leave?" I ask. "Like... stay here?" He asks. I nod. "Its not like theres anything waiting for me back home. This town is small and comfortable, and my son is here so..." I say. "That.. sounds great. I was more meaning, stay here?" He asks. I laughed bit. "Am I burdening you?" I ask. "No! I just dont Wyatt to get any ideas about us" he says. "Wow! Im that repulsing to you?" I ask. "What? No! You're beautiful and funny, why woulf I find that repulsing?" He asks. The second those words left his mouth he bit his tounge. My eyes widened in shock. "You think Im beautiful?" I ask. He sucked on his tounge and looked away from me. "Shocking coming from tbe homeless looking dude, right?" He asks. "You dont look homeless" I say. "This is why I write words instead of speaking them. I always say them at the wrong time" he says. "Its ok. I have the same problem. You know how hard it is not to blurt how I think you're cute and charming" I say. He looked at me and we stared at each other. "I know you hate me, but... do you want to give us a shot? A real one this time?" He asks. I stared at him a moment longer. "Yeah." I say. We smiled. "Ill have to see if you're as repulsing as you think i am" I say walking inside. "I didnt say that!" He says following me.
