Fear. // Zach Mitchell {COMPLETED}

Epilogue part 2

I just chuckled, wiggled out of his grip and went to get my pasta. "Well, at least I can finally have lunch."

++++

After a damn long day of him showing me around his home town, we came home and I headed straight for the couch.

I was done. My legs hurt, I don't feel like walking another step, not even for a plate of food.

"Would you stop exaggarating please?" Zach chuckled from the other side of the room.

"I'm not, my legs feel like they're gonna fall off any second. I'm not used to this" I complained.

"How are you not used to this, you've lived in a park full of dinosaurs before, you ran all day long"

"I've gotten the stereo type, lazy and fat american I guess" I chuckled at my own joke.

We laid in bed for the rest of the afternoon, the both of us more tired than we thought we were. We watched a whole season of prison break on the while. Discussed on it, but eventually fell asleep.

We've gotten like one of these old couples who sleep at nine in the evening.

But that was exactly the point. I just couldn't fall asleep. I had no idea what it was that kept me awake, but something did. So there I laid, Zach's arm, lazily wrapped around my waist and feeling his steady breath on my neck. 

This was comfortable, I loved it. And yet it didnt let me fall asleep.

So I unwrapped myself from Zach and tiptoed down the kitchen, careful not to make any noise and wake anyone. I went into the kitchen, poured myself a glass of milk and sat down at the dark table. I didn't want to put the lights on, it would just wake me up even more. I hoped on falling asleep just here.

But that thought was pushed away as soon as I heard footsteps coming my way. I shrugged it off at first, thinking it was just someone needing the toilet, but my pulse started to rise again when they didn't stop. They kept on coming my way.

I decided to just hide myself in a corner, not making a sound and hoping they wouldn't turn the lights on.

But I immediately calmed down as soon as I saw the familiar messy head of curls.

"Couldn't sleep either huh?" I rasped out. I didnt think my voice would sound that bad, but it scratched my throat just talking. 

Thats also why I understood, Gray almost throwing his glass of milk at me. Some of it dropped on the floor and the both of us went to get a cloth to wash it away. We both knew his Mom would be pissed if she found out.

So there we two were, both sitting on the kitchen floor, rubbing the floor with a cloth.

"You almost scared me to death, Grace. Never do that again" He whisper screamed at me, throwing his hands around in the air like a maniac.

"You survived Jurassic World, you'll survive a girl in a kitchen, Gray" I chuckled out. My laugh died down and we rubbed the floor in silence before I asked again. "So, why couldn't you sleep?"

"Mom and Dad are gonna divorce. I can't stop thinking that it's somehow my fault. I thought, that after this, after both of their children almost died, they would sort things out, but that didn't help. They're gonna divorce. Zach sees the good, two homes, two birthdays, but I don't want two of that whole stuff. I just want them together Grace" He cried out.

I didnt even know what to say. I didn't know the feelings you had for parents. All I ever had was Owen.

"Look, This may be the shittiest reponse to something like that ever" he chuckled at my easyness. "You gotta believe them, maybe its for the best. I know it don't make sense the way things go. But, sometimes even Moms and Dads fall out of love. And maybe it's like Zach said, sometimes two homes are better than one."

"Zach's never right" Gray whined. 

"Maybe this time destiny will make an exception." I shrugged. "Everything will be okay in the end, Gray. But you'll always need to remember one thing for me okay?" I paused for a second and looked him in the eyes, making sure he was listening to me. "It is not your fault. You are not responsible for their happiness, cause you alone bring them happiness. And that's all you gotta do, be yourself and everything will turn out just the way it's supposed to be" 

"Thank you, Grace" He mumbled while sitting down and leaning against the kitchen counter. 

"Look, I know I'm not the best at giving advice, especially this this topic, cause I don't know my parents, but I'll always have a shoulder and a ear for you, okay?" I smiled at him. 

We just sat there for another while, talking about unimportant stuff. I told him a lot about what it was like living in Jurassic World, he told me a lot about living in a normal way. 

Gray and I never had a second where it was awkward silence. 

At the end we weren't even able to talk without laughing. Gray and I both learned something that night.

Everything is funny at 3am in the morning. 

And then, next thing I know, I woke up with a massive pain in my back and a head on my shoulder. I looked down, to see the familiar lock of curls laying on my shoulder and looking like a sleeping angel. 

Suddenly I heard someone taking big, heavy and loud steps towards the kitchen, they couldn't wake him up, now that he finally fell asleep. 

Zach's dad came around the corner whistling some song, that played in this earphones. He was in his gym clothes and probably on his way for the morning run. 

He came around the corner and immediately saw us sitting there. I showed him a shush sign with my left finger and he calmed down. He stopped whistling and tiptoed his way to the refrigerator. He smiled at the both of us one last time before turning around and leaving. 

I heard him whispering to be quiet when going into the kitchen to Zach and Karen sitting in the living room. 

I smiled at this. They could be one happy family if they wanted to be. 

Zach came around the corner. Curiosity taking its stroll on him, wanting to know why he had to be quiet. 

He looked at the scene in front of him and smiled at me. He looked me in the eyes and came to sit down right in front of me. 

"I wondered where you were, when I woke up, but now I see you had a long night huh?" He chuckled, carefully stroking his brothers hair. 

"It was good though. Finally had the chance to talk to him without your annoying ass being right next to me, commenting on everything either of us say" 

"Rude" He chuckled. "Rude but probably true" 

Zach stayed with me for a while until Gray woke up. He rubbed his eyes and went to his mother into the living room. 

"Finally" Zach whispered. "Couldn't have done this with him in the room" 

"Wh-" I started, but got my answer as soon as I felt his lips on mine. He steadied himself with his arms on both sides of me. 

I kissed back almost immediately, throwing my hands around this neck and pulling him closer to me. He took steps and was now in front of me. 

He broke the kiss before it could get to intense and leaned his forehead against mine. He started smiling widely, making me do the same 

"Im so glad you are mine"
