The Risk You Take • Zach Herron/Why Don't We Fanfic

Chapter 2

*Zach POV*
I look my plate trying not to punch him. How could he say that to her? She is so skinny! And I couldn't stop him! Ugh! I feel a hand push my side. Jonah nods to Chase who is staring at me. I continue to eat and think of her. I look at everyone who didn't stand up for her. Six girls and seven boys. Who didn't even look up. They just let him hurt her. "Dinner is over!" Mrs Grith yells "Three minutes until lights out!" She walks away. Everyone leaves single file I walk at the back. Once everyone is in their rooms I run and grab three buns and run to my room. I hid the buns in Daniel guitar case when Jonah walks in. "The lights will be out in thirty seconds!" He flops on his bed as Danny walks in. "That Chase kid, I swear, I'm this close to killing him!" He gets onto his bed. "So what's going on with you and Brodie?" Daniel asks "What? Nothing! I mean! Yeah!" I get into bed "Lights out and silence!" Mrs Grith yells as the lights go off. I roll over and wait until I can hear snoring. Then I grab the buns and go to her room. The door is unlocked so I walk in.

*Brodie Pov*
I climb up onto the roof once I hear snoring. I look at the stars and sing Sometimes quietly. "Ooh let's be honest Baby, this is so unusual! Ooh I'm not tempted Baby, even if their beautiful! I used to be cautious, a little to reckless! Now all my emotions are all cause of you! I even think of leaving sometimes! I ain't think of letting go!" I hear a noise so I stop "No don't stop!" A voice whispers I stand up. Zach's head pops up from my window. He climbs up and sits next to me. "You sing amazingly!" He smiles I just stare at him. "I got you something!" He passes me a bread roll. I take it and look at it. "You can eat it! I promise I didn't poison it!" He laughs I giggle a little and take a bite. I lean back against the slanted roof and look at the stars.

*Zach POV*
I look at her and smile. The moonlight lighting up her face. I slowly move my hand to hers and hold it. She looks at me and I don't know if it was the moon or just her but her eyes shone. Suddenly she lets go and shoots over to the edge of the roof. She looks down and hangs over to edge of the roof. A light turns on. She jumps through her window and I run across the roof to my room window. I knock quietly until Jonah staggers over and opens the window. "Shh! Someone's coming!" I hiss from under the covers Jonah bolts into bed as there is a knock on the door. I stagger over and open the door like I was asleep "Yes?" I ask rubbing my eyes "Just checking you were in YOUR room!" Chase growls glancing at Brodie's door. She's standing behind the door looking out at us. "Yeah! I was sleeping like five seconds ago!" I yawn "Ok!" Chase walks away and goes back downstairs to his room. I smile and wave at Brodie. She nods and closes the door.
