Lizzy's POV
———————

Zach and I are home today. We aren't a couple but we are best friends, which is all that matters right now. We are surprising our families, only Zach's dad knows. "So Lizzy and I are here in Dallas and we are gonna surprise our moms" he smiles and ends the instagram the video.

He starts it again and we walk. "Hey" Zach and I say. Our moms get up and yell "WHAT!" They RUN over to us and my mom engulfs me in a hug "sweet heart you aren't suppose to be home for another month" I laugh "home early" she laughs too and we switch moms. They step back and take a look at us "friends?" We shake our heads, they frown "best friends" Zach says they smile and clap like teen girls.

My mom has been working night shifts still and there is nothing in my room at my house so I have to sleep at the Herron's. While I was unpacking I hear Zach question "do you want to go back to public school while we are here for 2 months?" I turn my head to the side "what about Jay?" I ask. He comes and sits next to me "he won't hurt you. I promised that. " he smiles and kisses my forehead.

Zach was in the bathroom and I was on instagram. "UGH" Zach groans. I get up and walk into the bathroom seeing Zach struggle with his hair "help" he says frowning. I laugh and jump up onto the counter and he stands between my legs. I take water and run it through his hair and than take gel and form his high hair. "Done" his eyes widen. He looks into the mirror "he my hair stylist" I shake my head "Naw" and I lick my finger and stick it in his ear. I run away cause I know I'm gonna get chased.

I was running down the stairs. "What's going on" Mrs. Herron's asks "ELIZABETH YOU GAVE ME A WET WILLIE" Zach yells and she starts laughing. I hide behind her and Zach asks "where is she mom?" I giggle a little, but he doesn't seem to notice. She shrugs "I'm not stupid. You love that girl more than I love her" my heart stops "what?" I ask sitting up. He looks down "n-nothing" he says trying to walk away. "No Zach tell me" I say and he looks up at me with a tear sliding down his cheek "I- I love you. I have since the day I met you when I made that promise. When we first kissed. When you slept over some many times and my mom treated you like family. When we were fighting I didn't know what I do if I didn't get you back. I still beat myself up about it every single day. You are beautiful in so many ways. I love you Elizabeth" He says. I smile and hug him. By this time Mrs. Herron left the room. "I love you too Zachary" he smiles and our faces are inches apart and sooner or later he closes the gap between us, making literal sparks fly

But why sparks?
