3:45pm for Zoe and 8:45pm for Zach.
Zoe: Zach?
Zach: Zoe?
Zoe: Stop! Can I ask you a question? *laughs*
Zach: Apart from that one, yeah. *shakes head*
Zoe: It's more like a topic, but I don't know how personal it is for you. *worried*
Zach: It's fine, what is it? *confused*
Zoe: Your family. *scared*
Zach: It's fine. I live with my mum, who would let my older brother, Alex, 24, get away with murder, is strict with me, and lets my younger brother, Dan, 4, run riot. Dad left 5 years ago and is still in contact with my Alex, mum won't let me speak to him and tells him "I don't want to know him." Sad really. My step dad, John, has something against me too. He hates me, Daniel is his. We don't keep in contact with the rest of the family and so it's just us. John keeps getting promotions and we keep moving house. He hasn't had a promotion in 6 months and now they keep arguing. Even as I type this they are at it again. My mum won't let me move out and tries to control my every move.
Zoe: Poor you. Have you ever heard of 5 Seconds of Summer? They are an Australian band and they made a song about Ashton and his parents. How they were always fighting and his dad left. Its kinda like ur story but it is ur dad and step dad.
Zach: Yeah I have and ur right, once she breaks up with someone she moves house and doesn't get back with them. She is saving her money to move abroad she says, we all have a re-newed passport so we can go anytime. She never seems to have money issues, but I have no idea how much she has or what she does.
Zoe: That is strange. Very secretive and sneaky. What do u think?
Zach: Same. It's 1am u better get 2 sleep. tut tut Zoe...
Zoe: Ok...Its 8pm for me though.
Zach: Early night for school. Its Wednesday tomorrow.
Zoe: Ok...Night.
Zach: Night Zoe.
*****************************************************************************************************
Zach felt like adding a kiss at the end but deleted it before hitting send. He felt really confused. He had never felt this way before. It was almost love he thought, then realised it was love. He loved her. The first girl he had ever loved, apart from a few crushes, but they don't count, they were in primary, and now its high school for his first love and almost collage for him. He felt like a weirdo liking a high schooler but she was only 2 years difference.
