Chapter 19 {who was "he"}

you wake up in the morning, still in hunters bed and look to your left, seeing a familiar but not too familiar body. he looks over at you,
" good morning princess " he says with a cute smile.

i squint at him, knowing he wasnt hunter, but i still knew him.

" who are you? " i question

" zach! you silly goose " he replies

suddenly everything comes back, the kisses, the hugs, the memories. he made me feel safe when no one else could.

" zach what are you doing here? " i ask, beginning to get up and out of bed

" dont get up y/n, you need to rest " he begins "  i got a text from weston he said he was worried about you but and you wouldnt answer your phone, so i decided to come around " he comes and sits next to me on the bed.

" why? " he asks, i immediately knew he was asking why i attemted

i give a little chuckle " zach look at me, im worthless. i dont deserve to live. " i look down smiling, like it was a joke and he was that one person that still hadnt got it yet.

i feel his hand brush my cheek and i look up at him gazing into his eyes, they glistened like the ocean.  

"y/n" he says, pushing my hair off my face and securing it around my ear.
" you are more beautiful then any girl i have ever met, and i know that im not the one you love, but sometimes you have to overcome things, youve got to realise that you will be happy again, even if its not today " he says in a weird tone

" what are you taking about? " i say pulling away from him and sitting up

" did Christine not tell you? " he wonders

" tell me what zach, tell me what " i feel all the anger fill up inside me

" y/n im so sorry, i hate to be the one to tell you this but, hunter passed away last night "

i can feel my heart stopping, the last beat is like the last note to a song, finishing it off.

my eyes begin to burn as they overload with tears, i blink, letting them fall down my cheek like a river.

i let out a wail, screaming in grief. my arms and legs go weak, like i had just been at the gym, the feeling like i over worked my self.

zach holds me down as i arch my back, almost like i was being possessed, something was taking control over my body, putting me in so much pain.

that something was death.
