Mistaken Window • Zach Herron Fan Fiction ✅

boys are confusing

Zach's pov: The door of Brandon's room opened and Kylie walked in.

"She wants to hear you out." Kylie said looking directly at me.

I stood up quickly then left Brandon's room closing the door behind me. I stopped right before her room and stared feeling nervous. I took a deep breath and exhaled before entering her room.

"Close the door." Elizabeth said.

I closed the door and sat down next to her on her bed.

"Explain." She commanded.

"Where do you want me to start?" I asked.

"The Grove, where you met her." She said.

My heart dropped when she said that. I hadn't realized she was there that day.

"Okay well the boys and me were just shopping and I noticed Rachel." I said.

"I thought she was pretty and decided why not just go talk to her for a bit and maybe see if I could get her number." I added.

"I got her number then her and me texted for a while and decided to go out on a date that night, we went to Chipotle." I continued.

"I know." She said.

"How?" I asked.

"I was there." She said.

"I didn't see you though, I did see Jack though." I said.

Then I put two and two together.

"You were with Jack?" I asked.

She nodded her head.

"Why?" I asked.

"I was in a bad mood and he was being a good friend." She said.

"Now continue." She added.

"Well after Chipotle, I just dropped her off home and the next day was the party I didn't originally plan on taking her, but she wanted to hang out so I invited her as my date." I said.

"Who was that guy you were with by the way?" I asked.

"A friend from school." She said.

"Okay so after the party I took Rachel home, then just drove to your house because I missed you and wanted to go on another adventure." I said.

"Why didn't you just take your girlfriend?" She asked rolling her eyes.

"She's not into those things and needs her sleep." I said shrugging.

"Listen, we just should stop talking." She said.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"I can't handle talking to you." She said.

"But E-" I started.

"Please don't call me that anymore, Zach." She said.

She stood up and walked to her door not opening it yet. I walked over to her.

"I need you in my life." I said.

"Goodbye, Zach." She said closing the door.

I stood there for a few moments just staring at the closed door. I opened the door and walked back in.

"E, hear me out." I said.

"Rachel isn't my girlfriend, I never asked her to be my girlfriend." I said before she could say anything else.

"Yes, I took her on a date then to that party, but it's not like her and me are even official." I continued.

"Plus I like you... I've liked you since the second I met you." I added.
