Believe Me

Chapter 5

My Everything

My French class has about 15 people in it. I sit in the back and draw in the corner of my paper filled with notes.

Jack's kid is Zach. He is my best friend. Zach is sitting next to me and Jessica is on the other side. Jack is on the other side of Zach. Zach is so hot. He's got perfect abs and has the cutest smile ever. Him and I have been friends since the day I got here. And he was sent here for the same reason. His family didn't believe him when he said he could hear his little sister (who's dead) talking to him all the time.

My first day here they put me in my room, I was in my room crying my eyes out, my face shoved deep into the pillow on my bed, when I feel a hand on my back as someone sits on the edge of the bed next to me. Then we got to get to know each other, and we became really good friends. We both realized that because of each other, we know that we aren't alone. And that we have someone who actually understands what we are going through. We are each other's everything. My everything.

Class ends and it's time to go outside. We four go outside and sit under a big tree.

As we talk, Zach makes a comment about me that makes me blush, so I give a pout face and curl up into a ball and turn outside our little circle. Before I know it Zach's behind me tickling me on my sides. I'm screaming so he puts his hand over my mouth when people start to notice. He spins me around so I'm facing inside the circle and takes his hand away from my mouth.

"Are you done screaming?" He says laughing still.

"No!" I scream. Because of that he pins my body completely to the ground and puts his hand on top of my mouth again completely on top of me. I lay there not able to move and just look into his dark green eyes.

"Are you now?" He says with an even bigger smile on his face. Showing off his adorable dimples.

"Yes." I manage to mumble through his big hand. He gets off of me and flips over next to me. Then he sits me up so that I'm leaning back into his muscular chest with my body in between his legs. Zach and I are still laughing and because of our scene, Jessica and Jack are too.

"Are you two dating?" Jack says suddenly getting serious.

"No" I say, "we're just really good friends. He's my everything and I am his. We were brought here for the same reason. Our parents didn't believe us. We understand each other in a way that no one else ever will with me or him." Zach nods in agreement developing a defensive look on his face.

"Why did you want to know Jack?"

"I just wasn't sure what your label was with Kate, and I may have wanted to take her to dinner sometime soon. To get to know her." He says looking at me with a smile and desire in his eyes.

"That would be fun." I say with a smile coming back on my face after that serious moment. Zach gets fire in his eyes. His arms wrapped around my waist tighten. I can tell he's in protective mode. He does a big sigh calming himself down and just plays with my hair silently the rest of the time we are out side.
