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

Chapter 3

I get into bed and stare at the roof. Finally sleep over comes me. I wake up to Mrs Grith throwing water over my head. "Get up!" She yells "And clean this water up!" She walks out and I walk to the bathroom to change. I put on a black hoodie with the words "Wait What?" printed in hot pink then I put on some ripped jeans. I go to my room and clean up the water and got to breakfast. Despite having the water dropped on my face I'm in a good mood. After breakfast I go back to my room and play Like It Like It dancing around my room like a crazy person.

*Zach POV*
I look out the window and see her dancing around, laughing like mad, I smile and continue watching. I was probably looking like a stalker but I couldn't help it! She is just so beautiful. "STOP STARING!" Daniel yells jumping on me "I wasn't!" I argue "Bro! I was sitting on my bed the whole time!" He rolls his eyes "Really?" I asked stunned Danny nods and sits on my bed "You either really like her or your just kinda creepy!" He smiles "Shut up!" I laugh looking at her. The song finishes and she walks out of her room. I run to the door "Dang! Bros go it bad!" Daniel laughs as I run downstairs.

*Brodie Pov*
"ASSEMBLY!!" Mrs Grith yells "Ok! Your camping to night! Get your stuff and get in the car!" Chase yells. I walk upstairs and see Daniel playing his guitar. He looks at me and pulls a funny face, I smile and walk into my room. I grab my pillow, phone, headphones and a blanket and put it in my bag. Walking downstairs I see Zach standing at the door. I walk past and look the other way. I hear him laugh and stat walking behind me. We all get on the bus and Mrs Grith yells more rules "Boys on the right! Girls on the left!" She points to the sides of the bus. I sit in my seat and put my headphones on. Daniel, Jonah and Zach sit across from me. Chase walks up "Move!" He points a Zach "You are going to move away from this seat!" Chase says Zach moves to the one behind that one. "Hey! You'll be sleeping in my tent to night!" Chase smirks rubbing my thigh. I move my leg away and look out the window. Chase growls and slaps me face. "I'm going to teach you a lesson now!" He yells walking to the front of the bus. I hold my face and try not to cry. A stubborn tear rolls down my cheek. I close my eyes and face away from Zach. I can feel his eyes in the back of my neck. I shake my head and stare out the window as we drive further into the woods. After an hour drive we get to the camp. "Boys and girls! We only have ONE building so the mean you will need to share! We will be putting down powder so we will know if you try and leave!" Mrs Girth yells as the bus doors open. We all walk out and over the the building silently. After we set up over beds. Boys on one side girls on the other. Chase comes and inspects us. "Nope you can't sleep there!" He points at me "Move away from that boy!" He points at Zach "No no Chase! If she wants to be punished then she will break the rules! She can stay!" Mrs Grith laughs I gulp and keep fixing my bed. We spent to rest of the day fishing for dinner . I get into my bed and roll over so my back is to Zach as the workers sprinkle the powder around our beds. Then the lights go out and silence falls. I'm scared of silence. My mind wanders when there is silence. I roll over and close my eyes. I open them to see Zach rolling over.

*Zach POV*
I can hear Brodie crying in her sleep so I roll over to look at her. She opens her eyes and looks at me. I smile and move closer.

*Brodie Pov*
He comes closer so I move back. He moves again so do I. If I move back again I'll fall off and the powder will be all over me, so I roll over. Then suddenly Zach puts his arm around my waist and pulls me into him. He is so warm. And I was freezing. I struggle at first but then give in and stay. He kisses my head and I know he felt me smile. "Goodnight Brodie! Sleep tight!" He whispers into my ear before kissing my cheek.
