Never Give Up {Zack Gomez}

Strip Club

I was pulled out of my dreamless sleep by my annoying ass alarm clock. Groaning I roll over and turn off the alarm before pulling myself out of my bed and into the bathroom to shower.

I had missed a couple days of school because of my refusal to leave my bed so I knew that there was absolutely no way that I could miss anymore for a while.

Jumping out of the shower I dry myself off and pull on a cute pair of short short jean shorts and a black top with little white flowers on it. Once my hair is dry I curl it to perfection. Pulling on my cute brown boots I grab my phone, purse and room keys I make my way out of my dorm and to Mike's.

I raise my hand to knock only for the door to be pulled open to reveal my brother.

"Hey Mikey!" I say as I pull my brother into a hug.

"Hey Scar. Ready for classes?"

"Hell no!" I laugh hopping on his back as I did not want to walk at the moment.

We walked for a couple more minutes in silence. Well, Mike walked, I was being carried.

"Scarlett?" He asked in a serious tone. I knew he had something important to ask me because he never uses my full name unless it is important.

"Yeah?"

"What's going on with you and Zack?" He asked.

"Nothing Mike." I tell him. And it was the truth too, but sometimes I do wish it was more than nothing.

"Are you sure? Because you two seem to have gotten a lot close these past couple days."

"I'm sure Mike. Nothing's going on between me and Zack, and nothing ever will. He's dating my best friend and she really likes him." I respond.

"Okay. Let's get to class then."

"Nooo." I groan, dropping my head on his shoulder as he laughs at me. I didn't know that my pain was funny to him.

***$$***

"Finally. I'm free!" I yell out once I leave the large lecture hall. Thank the Lord it was friday. I practically run all the way back to my dorm room, fully prepared to collapse in my bed and take a long needed nap but my stubborn roommate seems to have other plans.

The second she hears me enter the room she jumps on me, not literally, telling me that we're going shopping. Now don't get me wrong, I love shopping, I really do, but I just want to take a nap. Maybe eat a whole bag of chips and watch a movie.

"Nope. No. Nada. Not gonna happen." I tell her making my way to our small kitchen to get my chips.

"Please Lettie. I need a new outfit and you have awesome style." She begged.

"No. Do you want to hear it in Spanish. Noh. Those are the wise words of Stiles Stillinski. You should listen to them." I say back, being my usual sarcastic bitchy self.

"I'll buy you a new outfit too."

"When do we leave?" I said with a shit eating grin on my face.

***$$***

"No Eve. Why the hell would you think that I would ever go back to another club after what happened last time?" I asked, super pissed that she would even suggest it.

"Please Lettie. Zack will be there as well as the guys that you train with. You won't ever be left alone and you look drop dead gorgeous in that new dress I bought for you. Come on, it'll be fun." I knew that the longer she spoke the more I would be convinced. It did sound like it would be fun, and I had talked to Tim and he said he'd be there with the guys, including Case.
