Nothing Special, Just Me

Chapter 8

*Beth's POV*

I woke up to the sun shining very brightly in through the window. A pair of muscular arms were wrapped around me, and I was laying on their chest.

I look up and see Zack sleeping peacefully.

Aw! He looks so cute when he's asleep!

I can't resist the temptation to reach up and poke his nose. When I do, his eyes flutter open.

"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to wake you," I immediately say.

"It's okay, Beth. I'd rather be awake with you instead of sleeping," he answers sweetly.

Awwwwww!

I have to admit, hearing that made my heart flutter.

I blush and quickly cover my face with my hands to stop him from seeing. He grabs my hands and holds them in front of me.

"Don't. You're cute when you blush."

OH MY GOD! HOLY SHIT! ZACK CALLED ME CUTE! My mind is full of excitement!

I can feel my face heat up.....again. I turn my head towards the window so he won't see.

"I am most definitely NOT cute."

"Yes you are."

"If you looked up hideous in the dictionary, my picture would be the definition. Now, Faith, she is cute."

"Well, you are cute to me," He says while poking the tip of my nose.

At the same time, his phone started ringing.

He got up and grabbed his phone.

"Hello," he says to whoever is on the other end of the line.

I can't hear what the other person is saying.

"I'm kinda busy right now," he says while looking at me.

Silence.

"Kaylie, I'm sorry. I'll call you later."

Silence.

He ended the call.

"Beth, I'm goi-"

I cut him off.

"No, go ahead. It isn't my place to keep you from your girlfriend."

"I'm not leaving. I already told you last night. And, anyway, how do you know she's my girlfriend," he asks.

"It's obvious."

"How is it obv-"

"SHUT THE HELL UP! For the love of fudge, just let me sit in peace," I snapped at him.

Honestly, I surprised myself by saying that.

Well, I guess I am a bitch.

Zack came over and sat beside of me. He looked me in the eyes.

"I'm not going anywhere," he says.

****
*2 weeks later*

Today, I was released from the hospital. Zack stayed with me the entire 2 weeks, just like he said he would.

Right now we were driving home.

"Can I turn on the radio," I ask him.

"Go ahead," is his answer.

"Thanks."

"You know, you don't have to thank me for every little thing. I've told you this over and over."

"Sorry...."

I turned the radio onto a hip hop station.

Hanging On by: Ellie Goulding came on.

I turned the radio up REALLY loud.

"THIS IS MY JAM," I screamed.

I began singing along.

"I just can't keep hanging on.
To you and me.
Touch me and then turn away.
Then put your hands into the flame.
Tell me do you feel this pain.
Cause I don't wanna be a ball and chain."

That's when I noticed that Zack had turned the radio down and was listening to me sing.

"You have a really nice voice," he says.

"Pfft.....No, I don't."

"Yeah you do."

"Fine. Whatever. I'm not arguing with you."

We sat in silence for the rest of the car ride.

When we finally got to my house, we spent the evening watching movies.
