Secret Herron // Jack Avery

Pennsylvania

Zach's POV
_________

I'm in Pennsylvania and I just got an Uber to the hospital. It's my fault probably, she didn't tell anyone about it.

I run into the hospital and go to the lady at the front desk and say "Laura Herron" she looks up at me and says "there is no one in the hospital with that name"

She didn't use Herron. It's not her legal name. But I thought she would have "Laura May" I say breathing heavily.

"She is here. But only family aloud"

"I'm her brother"

"She is in surgery, but her family is in room 34"

I run up the stairs, cause I ain't using an elevator. I run up to where her room is. I walk in and I see there isn't a hospital bed just her sister and brother in law in the room, crying.

"Is she okay?"

They look up at me, with widen eyes. Kylie hugs me and I am shocked, but I hug back

"She has been miserable without you " She whispers.

We let go. I walk over and sit down "is she okay?" I ask once again.

"There has been a few complications but for all we know she is fine" Tyler says.

I nod and look down "it's all my fault" I mumble with a couple tears falling on my lap.

"What do you mean Zach" Kylie says.

"If I never said that bad thing to her, she would have never left."

"What did you say?" Tyler asks.

I look up and he nods

" I said I can't always worry about her. Because I actually have friends that I need to hang out with and I can't have it be my fault that she kills herself" I say in one breath.

They look at me "I'm sorry" I say breaking down. Kylie walks over and hugs me "don't stress yourself" she says.

"I should. I yelled at her because she cut" I say. Putting my head into my hands. "When I meant when I said you should have never came. If that she would haven't gotten hate and it would still be a secret"

She hugs me tighter. I have been so miserable without her and I'm risking my career because I lost Laura"

A little while later, they real her into the room and she isn't awake but she is here.

"She should wake up any moment. The surgery went well. A minor complication but we got that fixed up" the doctor says. We nod and he walks out.

Kylie and Tyler leave me in the room alone with her.

"Laura I am so sorry for what I said to you. I should have never said it. I got mad at you for cutting, when I really should have comforted you. You aren't wearing your bracelet, I get why. I'm sorry. I have been so miserable, they had to move the Why Don't We House out to Dallas because I didn't wanna leave home. I have been reminded of you so much by everything and my mom keeps telling me to talk to you, but I thought you would say you hate me. Which you probably do. But I'm sorry. I love you sis" I mumble the last part.

Tyler and Kylie come back in the room and I just sit there holding her hand, thinking about how much Worse I made this innocent girls life.

She moves around and I let go of her hand.

I move to the front of the door just Incase she wants me to leave. Because I don't want to make the situation worse. She opens her eyes and sees her family first and hugs them. She tries to get up but clutches her stomach

"Ow" She says.

"You got your appendix out. Don't move" her sister says kissing her forehead.

She looks around the room and then her eyes land on me. Her eyes become watery, she doesn't want me here.

I turn around and was about to walk out the door when I heard a small and weak

"Zach"

I turn around see waving me over. I walk over and look down, not wanted to look in my litter sisters hurt eyes.

"Look at me" she demands.

I look at her and she cries me. She hugs me and I hug back crying more. "I'm so sorry" I say into her shoulder.

"I know" she says. "I heard everything you said" I look at her and smile. "I love you too Idiot" she whispers.

I smile.

I got my other half back. Or did I?
