Zack Martin x Reader

Chapter 5

"Y/N, can I talk to you for a second?" Miss Tutweiller asked me. "Sure. What's up?" I asked. "It looks like you could use a little help in chemistry."She said. "I guess." I answered. I hate chemistry and I don't understand anything in it. "I asked Brendon if he would tutor you and he said yes. You're first lesson will be today at 4:30." Miss Tutweiller continued. Brendon is pretty much everyone's crush here, he's tall, cute and muscular. Not really my type tho. "Okay, thank you." I said leaving the classroom. Bailey was waiting for me in the hallway. "What did she want from you?" She asked excited. "Oh she just got me a tutor for chemistry." I explained, rolling my eyes. "Who is the lucky guy?" Bailey asked. "Brendon." I said, rolling my eyes again. "OMG you're so lucky, Brendon's like the most handsome guy I've ever met." She said dreamingly. "Yeah and probably the most arrogant one as well." I answered. I walked on the sky deck and started my shift, when Brendon walked by. "Hey, see you later." He said winking at me. "What does he mean?" Zack said, leaving the smoothie bar, coming to me. "Oh, Miss Tutweiller just asked him to tutor me." "Why? You're grades are fine." "Yeah, well looks like I'm failing chemistry." I  told him. "I could tutor you." He suggested. "Oh please, you don't even know what chemistry is." I said laughing and filling my tray with used glasses and plates. "It's the one with the shapes and that shit, right?" He asked. "That's geometry." I laughed, walking away.

Zack's POV

I walked back to my smoothie bar, when Bailey appeared. "Hi Zack." She greeted me. "Hi, can you believe Y/N? She has a tutor lesson this afternoon with Brendon." I said "Yes, she told me, but she didn't seem that eager about it either. She told me that she thinks, that he's arrogant and annoying." Bailey replied. "Oh really?" I asked skeptically. "Yeah, why do you care that much anyway?" "I don't! When is the lesson exactly?" I added quickly before Bailey could ask another question. "Here, at 4:30" She answered.  I ran over to Mr Moseby, leaving Bailey all by herself and asked:" Moseby, I want to work another shift!" "Wow, I thought I'd never hear these words coming from you. Maybe you're starting to mature a little." He replied shocked. "Yeah sure." I said sarcastically. "So can I?" I added. "Sure."

Y/N's POV

After I finished my shift I went back to my cabin to get changed. Maybe I should just give Brendon a chance. I put on my shirt dress and put my flannel around my waist. Then I left my cabin and walked to the sky deck. "Hey Zack. You're still working?" I asked him, because his shift was supposed to be over 2 hours ago. "Hi Y/N, yes, you know me I'm always hardworking." "Yeah right." I laughed. Then I sat down at a table nearby and put my chemistry books down. Brendon was already 5 minutes late, when Zack came over "Hey you want a smoothie? It's on me." He said, smiling. "Thank you, Zack." I said. After another 15 minutes Brendon finally appeared. "I've been waiting for the last 20 minutes. Where have you been?" I asked, kinda angry. "Sorry, but I'm hear now, am I not?" He answered. After a few minutes I could feel his hand on my knee...

Meanwhile Zack's POV

"I can't believe that jerk was 20 minutes late." I said angrily to Cody, who was sitting at the bar. "Why do you care so much anyway?" Cody asked me "I don't, it's just that- Oh my god no! He's not really doing that, is he?" "What do you mean?" He asked again. I didn't even answer him I just grabbed a smoothie and walked over to them. "Here's your smoothie Y/N." I said, putting the smoothie in front of Brendon. "Oh thanks, but I didn't even order one." Y/N said. "Oh sorry, you know me I'm kinda clumsy sometimes." When I finished this sentence I knocked the smoothie over and it spilled all over Brendon. "I'm so sorry." I said, grabbing the glass and walked away.

Y/N's POV

"Oh my god, I'm so sorry Brendon. I can't believe he just did that." I apologized. "Don't worry, let's just go somewhere else." He said grabbing my hand a little bit too tight. He led me away from all of the people, until it was just us. Then he started pushing me against the wall. "You don't know how long I've been waiting to do this." He said, whilst kissing me. "Please get off me." I cried, trying to push him away. "Never." He said kissing my jawline. I tried fighting him off, but it was impossible, he was just too strong. Just when he was about to unbuckle his pants, someone came and knocked him out with a blender. It was Zack. "Zack! I'm so glad to see you." I cried. He ran over and hugged me really tight. "He-he tried to-" I tried to explain, but I couldn't talk through the tears. "I know." Zack said letting go, to look at me and then started hugging me again. "I'm so glad you're okay." He added. "What happened here?" I heard my uncle saying. "Y/N are you okay?" He asked worried. "Ye-yes I'm fine thanks to Zack." I said still in his arms crying. Then Brendon got up. "What the fuck dude?" He asked pulling Zack away from me. They started fighting, Brendon punched Zack in the face and started beating him up really bad, I tried helping him but Uncle Marion held me back and called Kirby, the security guard. When he finally arrived he led Brendon away and I ran to Zack, who was laying on the ground, covering his eye. "Oh no! I'm so sorry Zack. It's all my fault!" I said, crying even more than before. A nurse came and we carried him to his cabin, in his bed. After they checked if we were okay they left and me and Zack were both in his room, he got a few bruises and a black eye. "Zack I can't tell you how thankful I am and how sorry I am this is all my fault. You're a hero, Zack. You're my hero" I cried. "It's okay." He said hugging me again. 

Then Mr Moseby came back and asked: "Oh my god, Y/N, Zack, are you okay?" "We're fine." Zack said, trying to smile. "Thank you so much Zack, that was very brave of you. I would have never forgiven myself if something would have happened to Y/N." He said, holding back his tears. "You can be really proud of yourself." He continued. "Okay, I think I should head back to my cabin. Goodnight." I said, smiling at Zack. When I arrived in my Cabin, the emptiness and silence started to freak me out. Then I got a text from Zack 

"Please don't feel bad because of me :(" 

"But you literally got beat up because of me"

"It was a pleasure getting beaten up for you. But how are you? Do you need someone to talk to?"

"Actually I think so. Yes, can you come over? :("

"Be there in 2 :)"

Then he finally opened the door and came in. "Hi." I said awkwardly. "Hey." He answered. "How are you doing?" He added. "I don't know I guess being alone is just freaking me out at the moment. Do you think you could sleep here tonight?" I asked. "Sure." He answered. 

The only way I could fall asleep was with his arms wrapped around me. It was the only place where I felt safe at the moment.
