Wrong Number// Zach Herron

Chapter 16

Laken's POV

          I take my seat next to Zach on the plane. We bought business class this time so that we could be next to each other. The airline attendant goes through his spiel about safety. We are finally able to get our phones back out and unbuckle. I reach up into the carry on area and grab my bag. " Let's look at some pictures," I say, pulling them out of my bag. The row is just him and I, then an empty seat. The photo on top is a photo of me and Justin in the studio. Then there was a photo of me in the cave I took Zach too. We flip through a ton of photos of Gabbie, Justin, and I. We are nearing the back of the stack and we finally find a photo of Aaron and I. " Who's that?" Zach says looking at it, it a weird way. I smile thinking about the memories. 

Zach's POV

          " That's Aaron," she says, smiling. He ex boyfriend. She looks very happily at the picture, and it makes me feel something. I'm not jealous, I have no reason to be jealous, I just don't like how it makes me feel. She moves the photo to the back of the stack and continues to flip through them. Finally I see, at the very back of the stack, a photo of her and I. In the photo, we're in my room laying down, and she's cuddled up to my side. I'm taking the photo and kissing her on the forehead. I remember that day. " When did you have that printed?" I ask, grabbing the photo and smiling at it. " The first day we were up there, I printed it and put it on the ceiling with the rest of my photos," she beams. I hand her the photo back and she puts them all back in her bag. " I plan on hanging them back up in my new house," She says, laying her head over on my shoulder," So I need to get more of us." She takes her phone out and snaps a photo of us. " Send me that," I say. She does as I asked, and soon falls asleep. I decide I should take a nap so I won't be super tired when we get back. 

          I wake up as the plan in landing. Laken is still laid over on my, playing on her phone. " Good morning sleepyhead," she smiles over at me. I give her a cheeky grin and and a peck on the forehead. We finally land and I grab Laken and I's carry ons. I follow her off the plane and to the gate then into the airport. The luggage carousel  comes around with mine and Laken's bags and I grab them all. " I brought you a present," Laken says, starting to grab her bags. Before she has the chance I grab all of them and start walking," what is it?" I ask. " It wouldn't be a surprise if I told you," she laughs. I scoff at her then laugh, as we walk out to our Uber that I had waiting for us. I put all of our things in the back and we get in. " I had a lot of fun," Laken says, while she buckles up. " We should definitely go back again," I add. " You can meet Gabbie," She smiles. The car ride passes quickly and we return to the Why Don't We house. Laken and I get out, and I think the driver. We grab all of our things and I look at the house," Home sweet home." The boys rush out and help Laken with her bags. All except Jonah who follows them out. " Is she moving in or something?" He laughs. Jack looks at him like he is stupid," We told you yesterday, remember. She's staying with us until she finalizes the contract on her new house." Laken and I laugh. We put all of her things in the guest room and walk down stairs. It is 6 o' clock in LA so we decide to Postmates some food. While we are waiting, me, Laken, and the guys, minus Daniel, are sitting in the living room watching TV. " Best friend!" Laken says, laughing. " What?" Jack and I say in sequence. I give him a glare and ask Laken," I'm your best friend, right?" She shrugs and laughs," I can have more then one best friend, but I was talking to Jack." I roll my eyes and sit back. " Yes?" Jack says, laughing. Laken whispers something to him and he gets up and walks upstairs. 

Laken's POV

          " Can you go grab me the snow globe out of my pink suitcase?" I whisper. He nods and walks upstairs. " What was that about?" Zach asks. I smile at him while getting up and walking to the bottom of the stairs as Jack is walking down. " What's this for?" Jack asks me. " I grabbed it last minute for Zach," I respond, holding it carefully. " Zach can you come here?" I shout. I hug Jack," Thank you." He smiles and walks off as Zach walks over. " This is your present," I say, handing it to him. He grabs it carefully and shakes it around. " I bought it when I was 9," I start, sitting down on the stairs. Zach sits beside me as I continue," I bought it because, when  Justin was getting famous, and at the time Gabbie was living with her dad over 4 hours away, I felt really alone, but then I'd look at the snow globe, and see that the boy and girl were happily together, in this little glass world, I'd feel better. And now I don't need it, because I have you, and we live in our own, little glass world." Zach grabs my hand and holds it while shaking the globe. " That's us, you're the boy and I'm the girl." I smile at him and lay my head over on his should. After a few seconds Zach puts the globe in his room and we go back to the living room. Daniel walks in. " Looks like we're going to New York in a few days, Randy wants us to do a pop-up show, Monday for one day," He says, sitting on the couch. " That was out of nowhere," I laugh. " That's how it usually goes," Corbyn says, laughing and walking to the door to get the Post Mates. " Wanna come with us?" Zach asks me. " Yeah you definitely should," Jack adds. " Yeah do it!" Daniel and Jonah chime in. Corbyn walks back in with the food," I don't know what they're talking about but yeah do it! Whatever- it- is," he laughs. " Of course, I'd love to come with you guys!" I exclaim.
