6: Zachary Zack

Next week I didn't saw Monty at school, Bryce said he got suspended again for beating up some poor kid probably because the kid pissed him off in many reasons. too bad I don't care anymore.

I was getting better myself, I apologized to Jeff about leaving the dance and hung out with my sister this whole week, she was happy that she got someone besides her through the tough time and Clay was more around so I wasn't really worried about them.

Although she was really excited about Valentine's day while I, well I wasn't got something in my mind myself. I mean she had a set up list and got in a date with Marcus, I had nothing of course, till now.

"Y/n?"
"Zack? Hi."
I said walking slower so he can get to me.
"So uh... how're you holding up?"

"I'm holding up ok, I guess. Thanks."
"Good um, I need to ask you something."
"Shoot."

I said smiling at him. He moved his backpack on his shoulder shyly, still had a guffy smile on the corner of his lips.

"I, I wanna ask you out for Valentine's day. I'll let you wear my jersey jacket if you accept."
He said playfully and I laughed lightly, that might be not a bad idea after everything.

"Ok, I'm in, but don't pick me up, you know about my family I don't wanna make them angry again they just came along well lately."
"Yeah I understand, ok, so meet me at
Monte's. 7 is good for ya?"
"Yeah I'll be there."
"Good. Can't wait."

He said and walked away winking at me. I can't replace how I feel about Monty although all he had done for this past one week was calling me and sent sorry texts over and over again but I have to forget about him, I really have to, and Zack is a start, I mean he's kind and a good friend. It's okay if I just try right?

.....
I was in my room laying on the bed, checking at my messages.
"See you in one hour, excited? Be careful on the way"

I smiled a little. Zack is really caring, that's kind of cute.
It was already 6.00 and I was still in my pajamas looking for an outfit to put on, but I grew to didn't like any of them so I decided to go downstairs ask Hannah if she has something that I could wear. I was along the door when my heart stopped as I heard a knock on my window.

I walked through it slowly and opened it checking what was that.
"Can I come in? Please?"

looking to my left and I saw Monty there, sitting on the roof, he was wearing a black hoodie with jeans, he wore the hoodie's hat to cover it but I could see the scratches all over his face and bruises under his eyes clearly.

"Oh my God, what happened? Come in."
I moved from the window so he could jump in, he looked like shit.
"Your dad?"

I asked and he nodded looking down embarrassing.
"I tried to stop him but he got so strong. Sorry I didn't have a place to crash. You're the only one who knows about him."

"No I... I understand. What about Bryce? He doesn't know anything?"
He shook his head lightly.
"Not as much as you, he just has a couple of guesses."

I sighed as he took a look at me and smiled with pain in his eyes when they locked on my makeup.

"So date with Zack huh? Justin told me, he was so pleased that I lost you to a better man."

I grinned weakly, moving to my drawer trying to found bandage or gasses, everything that can be considered as aid and kit.
"Well you went to the dance with Courtney so..."

He sat on my bed putting his arms on his knees.
"I just tried to get you back, make you jealous or something, I was so stupid."
"You never had me Monty."
