LA

Laura's POV
___________

Zach goes back to LA today. I don't know what I am gonna do. He is the only one that can take me out of my panic attacks. I sit in my bed and cry.

I feel like I have been crying for hours, yet it's only been 5 minutes.

Someone knows on my door.

"Laura" they say. Zach.

I sniffle and wipe my eyes "yeah come on in" I say saying sitting up. He walks over to my bed and sits down "I'm sorry" he says. I look at him confused. "I am going to LA today and I know you don't want me to go" I sigh "h-how did you know?" I ask sadly. "Twin telepathy" He says tapping his head. I roll my eyes "I heard you crying" he admits.

I nod and just look down "You go I'll be fine here." I say. He looks at me "I made you come out here and leave your family and now I have to leave" he says guilty. I nod. "I just miss my nieces" I say looking at my picture of them. "Well I have a surprise" he says getting up. I sigh and roll over and just look out the window.

I hear little feet run into my room. Probably Reese. I hear babbling almost like a baby. I look over and I see my nieces. I gasped so loud and I start crying. They climb up onto the bed and hug me "hi babies!" I say hugging them "hi aunt Laura" I hear them say at different times.

I look up and I see Zach smiling. I let go of them and I jump off my bed and hug him "thank you" I whisper to him "you're welcome" he says. I let go of the hug and I have my day with my babies.

2 hours later

Zach leaves for the airport. I run downstairs and I see him at the door with his suitcases saying goodbye to everyone. He is done and looks at the staircase and is in almost tears. I run down to him and hug him. Crying. We both are. "Please" I say. He hugs me tighter "I'm sorry" he whisper. I go on my tippy toes more to hug him and he just lifts me up "I love you Laura" he whisper. That's the first time he said "I love you too Zach" I say smiling. He sniffles and puts me down.

He walks out of the house and waved goodbye.

Little did I know that's the last time I'd see my brother walk out of this house again...
