I'm okay

Zac's POV

Since we've returned home Charlie has been asleep. We got home 16 hours ago. I can't sleep not knowing if she's okay or not. I'm scared. I don't know what's happening.

She moves now though, which is good. She tosses and kicks in her sleep again. I find it so adorable, she has always done this in her sleep, well since I've known her anyway.

I embrace her in my arms and try to calm myself down by telling myself she's getting better. But I don't know, I hate not knowing...

Charlie's POV

I open my eyes, but immediately close them again and squint instead to try and adjust to the bright sunlight. Once I've adjusted I sat up and looked around. I'm in Zac's bed but he isn't with me. I hear the shower running and know it's Zac because I can hear him singing.

My stomach growls so I slip out of bed and walk to the kitchen to eat some food. It's already 12:14 in the day, but it doesn't matter. Pancake time is any time. I love pancakes. I hear the water shut off as I stuff a pancake in my mouth. I'm soooo hungry.

I hear some noises in the bathroom, then the bedroom, and then Zac comes running into the kitchen in just a towel. He ran right up to me and hugged me tightly. I hugged him back, but I'm not sure why he ran all the way out here just to hug me. Haha

"Uhh.. Zac.. I love you and your hugs and all but what's up?" I say, confused.

"You've been out for 2 days." He explained.

"Oh... What happened?" I asked, I don't remember.

"You don't remember? What happened at school? What happened in the doctors office? Nothing?"

I sat there thinking. Trying hard to remember anything. Then it clicked. I reached up and felt my cheek where I had felt pain before while eating pancakes. Sure enough there was stitches. I remember Jenna, in the bathroom, she did this to me. And I went into a crazy hysteric panic mode which exhausted me and allowed me to sleep that long...

"Oh." Was all I managed to get out.

I looked up at Zac and smiled. He looked confused so I indicated with my finger for him to come closer. He bent down some so he was eye level with me. I grabbed the back of his neck and kissed him on the lips. He was shocked, but immediately kissed back, being careful not to touch my stitched up cheek.

We ended the kiss and just stayed there smiling like idiots until he realized he was still naked, only covered with a towel.. He blushed and left to put some clothes on. He is so sexy with and without clothes so I didn't really mind him being in just a towel.

Zac walked back out of the bedroom, fully clothed. "Hey.. Do you think I should start taking online courses instead?" I asked kinda scared of the idea of going back to school, "I mean I don't want to go back to school.. But I would miss you." To be honest I can't imagine not graduating with him, if I do online classes I wouldn't graduate at that high school..

"I'd miss you too, but whatever you think is best for you, I think you should go. I talked with the principle and had Jenna expelled. And I will be extra protective of you from now on, considering I didn't do so good at protecting you the first time.." He said looking down shamefully and upset with himself. I cupped his cheeks and lifted his face.

"Hey.. Don't beat yourself up over this. It's not your fault. I'm okay now" I said quietly to him, he cracked a small smile and pecked my lips.

"I love you"

"I love you too Zac, forever and always."
