After Hannah Baker- Zach Dempsey's New Life

16: Favorite Hoodie

I woke up the next morning before Ryan. I slowly and quietly crawled out of bed then made my way to the bathroom. I took a shower quickly then walked back to my room with a towel wrapped around my waist.

I got dressed then looked at Ryan who stretched lightly. She smiled at me when I walked over and kissed her lightly. "Where's that hoodie you promised me?" she asked quietly.

"Close your eyes," I chuckled then sighed. She closed her eyes then put her hands over them. I smiled then walked over to my dresser and grabbed my favorite hoodie from back home then walked back over to Ryan. "Here," I smiled then laid the hoodie over her. She smiled then sat up and slowly put it on. "Do you like it?" I chuckled when she smiled at me after the fabric devoured her.

"It fits perfect," she giggled. I chuckled then leaned down and kissed her again.

"That's my favorite hoodie," I said then sat down.

"Now it's my favorite hoodie," she smiled then kissed me on the cheek.

"Are you hungry?" I asked slowly rubbing her leg.

"Not really," she shrugged then scooted closer to me.

"So what do you want to do today?" I asked when she put her head on my shoulder.

"What do you want to do?" she asked wrapping her arms around my waist slowly.

"I think we should go to your house and be alone for a little bit," I whispered just before my mom peaked into the room.

"What do you want for breakfast?" she asked.

"French toast," Ryan spoke up then looked at me when I looked at her confused. "I'm hungry now," she chuckled.

"Okay, want to come down and talk to me while I make it?" she asked. Ryan waited for me to answer slowly biting her lip.

"Sure," I sighed then looked at Ryan who slowly moved to stand up.

We followed my mom downstairs then sat down at the island. I sat down and put my hand on Ryan's thigh slowly. She smiled then slowly stroked my forearm.

"How many do you want?" Mom asked pulling out all the ingredients from the fridge.

"I'll take three," Ryan answered then looked at me.

"I'll take ten," I chuckled. Ryan slowly smacked my arm when Mom looked back at me, "I'm just kidding, I'll take five," I said then looked at Ryan who turned her stole slowly and put her legs on my lap.

"Are you comfortable?" I chuckled then smiled at her. She nodded then smiled slowly.

"I'll be right back" Ryan said after a few minutes then stood up and walked upstairs.

She came back down stairs with May a few minutes later. May looked crabby.

"What's up kid?" I asked when she sat next to me on Ryan's seat.

"I'm tired," she answered then laid her head on the counter.

"May, you can go back to bed, we aren't doing anything today," Mom looked back at May with a smile.

"I want French toast," she sighed. Ryan chuckled then stood behind me and slowly wrapped her arms around my neck.

"What did you go do?" I whispered in her ear.

"I went to the bathroom," she answered then slowly rested her head on mine.

"Oh," I smiled then looked at May slowly.

"Is that Zach's hoodie?" May asked Ryan.

"Yes," Ryan answered then smiled.

"Why?" May asked.
