Chapter 25

*Zach's POV*

"I'm not leaving" I whispered into her ears and smiled.

I hold her in my arms and enjoyed every moment that we made. I enjoyed every second that I spent with her...not until Jack appears.

"Hey" Jack gestured his hand, moving it left and right.

"Jack...." Erika turned around to face him.

"What?!" I asked, looking at him from top to bottom.

He raised his eyebrows at me and walked pass me without saying a word. He slammed the door shut behind him and left the house.

I turned to face Erika and she shrugged at me.

"So..what did your dad told to you when you guys left the hospital..I thought he said that you guys are leaving New York?" She asked.

"He did...but he said that we're not moving until I graduated" I rushed my fingers through my hair and gazed at the clock "so after I graduated, I have to go"

"Wait..! Aren't you graduating this year?!" She asked, placing each hand on both of my arms.

I nodded "mhmm"

"That means, you only have less than 3 months till you have to leave NY" she looked at me in a very serious way.

"Okey...at least it's better than nothing ...right?" I asked, shrugging at my own statement.

"Fuck you!" She burst out, playfully hitting me on the chest "are you kidding?! 3 months isn't good enough"

"Well...I can't do anything about it? Unless you want to run away together?" I smirk and winked at her.

"Are you mad?!" She punched my elbow.

"Ouchhh" I said in a girly voice. "Seriously tho..you wanna?"

"No....where are we going to find money to eat and to find shelter? Plus how old do you think I am..23?"

"I'm joking...chill" I wrapped my arms around her. "But honestly, if I'm planning to run away, I wouldn't ask you, I would just kidnapped you" I held her tight and lift her feet off the ground.

"Noooo!stoop" she laughed and wiggle around until I lost my balance and fell on the ground, with her on top of me.

"Ahahaha...what are you? 10?" I rolled on top of her.

She covered my mouth and smirk "no...I'm 18, what are you? 50?" She mocked me.

"Aha...are you calling me old?" I moved her hand away from my mouth.

"Pfttt..no. I'm saying that you have wrinkles...ahahahaha" she burst in laughter.

She tried to get up but I lied on her so she have no way to escape from. "I can't breath!!!"she screamed a minute later. I quickly stood up and pulled her up.

The moment she got up, she ran upstairs to her room and locked it.

I ran after her and banged on the door. "Open the door" I ordered, but she didn't answer.

Then I realized that she was talking to someone..she's probably on the phone. I listened to her conversation really closely.

I couldn't really hear them but I'm sure that she was talking to her parents.

Until then I leaned really close to the door waiting for her to open the door.
Without a warning, the door was opened and I tripped myself over my own feet. "Woah!" I said in shock.
