Broken Heart

Chapter 2

Zachery Williams
I stood near the bonfire taking the occasional sip from my drink. It was the end of the summer holidays so my friends and I threw a bonfire party to celebrate it.

"Zach, we need more beer. It's in the back of my truck. Go get it." My best friend Liam called out over the loud music. The truck was parked near the cafe' which was owned by Liam's brother Jack. He is also like a brother to me who is really funny and cool.

My parents were really close with Liam's parents. That's how Liam and I became best friends. Liam has an older while I had a little sister. My mom was a cardiologist and my dad was a professional photographer. I had the perfect family and I couldn't be happier.

"Zach, wait for me." A drunken Lydia came towards me. She was walking like she was taking her first steps with the high heels. Lydia is someone I know from my childhood. She was a sweet innocent girl back then but now I only see a girl who wears tight clothes which seem too small for her

"You okay? How much did you drink?" I asked holding her up.

"Three bottle. No, I think four." She said counting from her fingers and letting out a giggle.

"You should go home now. I'll drive you. Just let me take this to Liam." I said grabbing a box from the truck. Lydia stood here talking to herself and giggling at nothing.

I rushed back to the party and looked around to find Liam. People were dancing everywhere grinding their bodies against each other. Some people were heavily making out while others were drinking their ass off and playing various games. Liam was dancing with his girlfriend, Melissa. She is a nice girl who keeps Liam on a leash. She is like a sister who I'm very protective of.

"Dude, I'm borrowing your truck. Have to drive Lydia home." I told him before waving at Melissa. He gave me a nod and turned back to dancing.

I went back to the truck where Lydia was lying down on the ground. Her blond hair was a mess and her dress was covered with sand. I pulled her up and held her in my arms when a soft sob made me look at Lydia. She was still mumbling and laughing on her own. I looked around to see if anyone was around but I couldn't see clearly in the dark.

"Shh, I think I heard something over there." Lydia slurred a bit loudly.

"Wait here, I'm going to check it out." I made her sit in the passenger seat before leaving to find where the sound was coming from. After walking for 5 minutes, I came to the seashore where the air was fresh. I was surprised to see a girl walking away alone at a time like this.

'That must be the girl who was here a few minutes ago.' I thought as I tried to recognize her. Suddenly she turned around our eyes meeting for a brief second. The girl was wearing a green top with a black skinny jeans and a black jacket. Her long hair was blowing with the wind like smooth threads. She looked at for a minute before turning around and walking away.

I was about to go back when something caught my eye. It was a silver necklace. I looked at the direction the girl went but she was long gone. I put the necklace inside my jean pocket before strolling back to the truck. I opened the driver's seat and slid inside to see Lydia fast asleep with her mouth opened a bit. I chuckled to myself before driving to Lydia's house.

Lydia's house wasn't far from mine in fact we both are just a few blocks away and that's how we were childhood friends. Within 30 minutes I was parking the truck in front of the house. I opened the passenger seat and pulled Lydia out of the truck. I wrapped my arms around her and walked to the front door holding her close to me. I rang the doorbell twice and waited for her parents to open the door.

"Hey Mrs. Hastings, I brought Lydia home." I said with a smile as Lydia's mom opened the door.

"Thank you so much Zach." She replied with a smile taking Lydia inside.
