Best Friends... Always?

Is this all Real?

:Monae' s POV:

I looked at Zay. I walked from behind the counter and turned his chair to me. I walked between his legs and hugged him. "I'm so sorry." I whispered. I couldn't believe this. His grip around my waist grew tight and I felt wetness on my cheek.I looked up to see tears running down his face. My heart ached for him. I didn't know what else I could do, but hold him. This isn't about me at all I just wanted to take this away from him, he didn't deserve this at all. Zay pulled me up into his lap and I just sat there with one arm around his neck and the other running through his hair. He looked up at me with scared eyes. I felt a tear run down my face. "It's hereditary." he mumbled. "That's why my grandpa was in the nursing home." he looked back down. "I understand if this is too much and you don't want to be together anymore." he mumbled again standing up. My feet touched the floor and his grip around me loosened and he walked towards the door. "No Zay you've got me I'm gonna be there with you through this." I grabbed his hand. He looked back at me and I wanted to erase his pain. I pulled him upstairs with me and we laid in my bed. He held me close as I looked at him. "So what happens?" I asked softly. He was quiet then he spoke, "I can go through surgery." he said rubbing my back. I got closer to hus chest and heard his heart beat. "Everything is gonna be okay." I looked up at him. He didn't say anything he just laid back on the pillow and closed his eyes. I was scared for him and it was even worse that I didn't know what to do. I cried for him as I thought about the what ifs. I rubbed his face as he slept and kissed his forehead. "I'm here for you." I whispered before drifting off to sleep. The next morning I was woken up to the sound of retching in the bathroom. I got out the bed quickly and saw Zay over the toilet throwing up. "Oh My God Zay!" I screamed and was about to run to get his phone when he grabbed my leg. "No Monae I'll be okay." he managed to get out before leaning back over the toilet. I patted his back as he reached up and flushed the toilet. "Toothbrush? " he glanced at me. I got up and walked out my room and into Caylen's. I saw she was sleep so I went into her bathroom and found her extra toothbrushes. I walked back to my bathroom and gave it to Zay. He brushed his teeth and slid back on the floor. I sat next to him and he laid his head in my lap. I ran my fingers through his curls and he remained silent. "It was from lightheadedness." he finally said. I rubbed his back and listened to him sigh. "You're having the surgery right?" I looked at him. "Yea, but I'm honestly scared." he admitted. "That's normal to be afraid no one is suppose to be brave through everything, but you have people who love you very much." I thought about what I said and he looked at me. "You love me?" he stared into my eyes. I didn't know what to say, so I didn't say anything. "Monae?" he was still looking at me. I don't know what I felt towards Zay I loved him, but just like everyone else it wasn't different. He stopped looking at me and got up. I looked at him and he held his hand out. He was about to walk out the bathrook when I pulled my hand away. "I need to brush my teeth." I looked at him. He didn't say anything he just walked back to my bed. I brushed my teeth and washed my face and walked out the bathroom. I looked at Zay as he flipped through the channels on the TV. I sat on the bed and looled at my phone. I felt a pull on my foot and looked up. Zay was staring at me. "It's ok it's normal not to really know your feelings." he smiled. I smiled and he pulled me to him. "I've got to go." he kissed my cheek and stood up. "Aww." I poked out my lip. "I can see you later on today." he put on his shoes. "Okay." I said standing up. I walked him downstairs and to the door. "Later baby." he looked at me. He bent down and kissed my lips softly, but I wanted more. I held his face and kissed him hard. His arms slid around my waist as his tongue entered my mouth. I pulled back before someone came downstairs and saw us. I smiled at Zay's face as he walked to his car. I closed the door and walked back upstairs, it was too early to be up.

When I got home I saw my mom's car was gone. I walked in the house and saw she had left a note.
