100 Little Deaths ➾ [Z.B]

23: Home Sweet Home (Timeless)

The next morning they ended their vacation early, at the crack of dawn the family took care of the Blade Ranch animals, they had their final breakfast together, then they shared their I love you's and goodbyes as they watched Zak's car drive off the ranch.

For the first few hours Zak offered to drive, even though Leah offered to first, he didn't mind as he wanted her to get some sleep. But she did not, in the passenger seat Leah was reading the John Winchester journal like a novel for at least an hour. Just reading the book made the 16-year-old girl inside of her fangirl and scream her heart out. She still couldn't believe she had this and it was right on her palms!

Zak had a hand on the wheel and his other hand gently over her thigh, Leah had taken his phone which was connected to the bluetooth on the radio and she played Take Your Time by Sam Hunt, she hadn't heard that song in years for obvious reasons and part of her wanted to re-discover it again.

"You know, even though you ride horses and live in a cute farm house, I never saw you as a country enthusiast." Zak said mid song noticing Leah nodding her head to the music.

"I have my selections...you wanna listen to what I was giving myself headaches too in highschool?!"

"Oh god...do I want to know?"

"YES!" taking his phone back she searched up "King for A Day" once again by Pierce The Veil ft Kellin Quinn

At first the ten seconds of simple tunes of the guitar had Zak feeling like this wasn't gonna be anything crazy, then the sudden screaming came and Zak almost fell out of the car. Leah laughed at his reaction as she turned up the radio, is she trying to kill them?! "PLEASE, WON'T YOU PUSH ME FOR THE LAST TIME? LET'S SCREAM UNTIL THERE IS NOTHING LEFT. SO SICK OF PLAYING, I DON'T WANT YOU ANYMORE. THE THOUGHT OF YOU IS NO FUCKING FUN. YOU WANT A MARTYR? I'LL BE ONE!"

"Lord help me..." Zak whispers under his breath hearing his personal banshee screaming at the top of her lungs like a teenage emo girl at a rock concert next to him.

"READY BABE?!"

"NO!"

"BECAUSE ENOUGH'S ENOUGH WE'RE DONE! YOU TOLD ME THINK ABOUT IT, WELL I DID. NOW I DON'T WANNA FEEL A THING ANYMORE! I'M TIRED OF BEGGING FOR THE THINGS I WANT. I'M OVERSLEEPING LIKE DOG ON THE FLOOR! IMAGINE LIVING LIKE A KING SOMEDAY. A SINGLE NIGHT WITHOUT A GHOST IN THE WALLS AND IF THE BASS SHAKES THE EARTH UNDERGROUND WE'LL START A NEW REVOLUTION NOW!!"

"Your poor ears, how have they not blown out yet?"

"But it's so good! Even Aaron is enjoying it!"

As Leah said, Aaron is in the backseat with Gracie headbanging to this music "this is sick what is this?!"

"Yeahhh!"

Zak lets out a long dramatic sigh, "this is going to be a long 21 hours I fear...."

But his fear was short lived, because after the song she gave him his phone back and he was able to get back to his podcast and she leaned against the window continuing to read the journal and possibly fall asleep. That is until her phone vibrated on her thigh which meant she was sent a message.

Turning her phone over she saw Logan's name pop up, the message starts with a good morning and he sends her a link, the link is his portfolio of edited photos he took during the birthday party a few days ago. She's been waiting to see them, so she clicked the link and skimmed through the photos. The first three were pictures of their cakes individually, then the next few made her heart jump. Pictures of her and Zak with baby Augie, either looking at the baby or smiling at the camera. Logan caught the moment when Augie stole Zak's cowboy hat and Leah's crying inside of how cute it was, he caught it!
