Zach's POV
October 9, 2016
It's been a week since the boys and I recorded our song "Taking You". Charlotte and I have gotten closer and that scares me. I believe I am growing feelings too fast and those are causing me to be attached to her. I haven't really been in relationships.
Unless you count one time in kindergarten this girl asked me if I wanted a cookie and she said that if I took it then I had to be her boyfriend.
Besides that, I've had no dating experience what-so-ever.
What if she hurts me one day and I'll never get over it. I'll only have myself to blame for getting too attached. What if me and Charlotte stay best friends and nothing ends up happening between us?
I want a relationship with Charlotte ,but I believe she thinks I am going to end up hurting her. I would never intentionally hurt her, I could never forgive myself if I did. If there's someone waiting for me but I'm too caught up in Charlotte's web to notice then I can't escape.
But I do want to do something nice for her because she makes me happy and I want her happy. I then thought of how excited she was at the park last week.
Flashback///
We all were taking a walk in the park when we all saw Charlotte's eyes widen and run to something. Looking up we saw her in front of an old woman with a puppy. She said something but we couldn't make out the words her lips were forming. Eventually, she gestured to the dog and the old woman nodded.
Charlotte bent down to the animal's level and started speaking to the animal. The puppy wagged it's tail and pounced on Charlotte having her laugh and pet him. The both of them engaged in occasional laughter while smiling as Charlotte played with the puppy.
The boys and I sat down on a nearby bench waiting for Charlotte to get done talking. At one point in their conversation, Charlotte pointed at all of us and made a funny face. The old lady chuckled and they went back to talking.
They talked for a while and soon Charlotte pet the puppy one last time before waving goodbye to the lady.
She walked over to us smiling with pride in her steps. "That old lady owns a bakery down the street across from our house. She is literally the sweetest and her puppy is so cute! I want a puppy." She rambled.
I have to admit, it was cute.
"Jonah could we pwetty pwease get a puppy?" she asked while pouting. "Hmmm..." he took a look at her puppy dog eyes and rolled his own. "Maybe." he grumbled not wanting to say no to her. "Yay!" she squealed leading the way. For some odd reason, Jonah doesn't really like dogs.
"I want a puppy so bad. Literally, whoever buys me a puppy I will love them forever." Charlotte said.
"Better get her a puppy." Daniel mouthed in my direction smirking at me. I swiftly held up the middle finger at him and we kept walking.
Flashback Over///
That's it!!
I'll get Charlotte a puppy. One that looks like the old lady had. That is the perfect gift. Yes, I will get Charlotte a puppy. Now I just have to ask Jonah if he is okay with a puppy in the house.
I made my way downstairs to see Charlotte, Jack, Jonah, Corbyn, and Daniel sprawled out on the couch engulfed in the TV. I looked at it to see them playing Call Of Duty: Black Ops 3.
