Mistaken Window • Zach Herron Fan Fiction ✅

yeah, i'm fine

Liz's pov: "Lizzie, everything is gonna be okay." Kylie said pulling me into a hug.

"How is everything gonna be okay, Ky?" I questioned pulling away from the hug.

"He literally broke up with me because he thought I was cheating on him with Freddy!" I exclaimed.

"And I just miss him a lot." I said wiping away my tears.

"I know you do." She said frowning.

"I just feel like I can't get back together with him if he doesn't trust me." I said sighing.

She nodded her head.

"He even compared me to Rachel." I said shaking my head disappointedly.

"He did what now!" She exclaimed.

I sighed once again as I pulled out my phone from my pocket and handed my phone to Kylie then showing her my recent text messages with him.

"You are nothing like Rachel." She said once she read the text messages.

"He should know that you would never hurt him." She continued as she handed me my phone back.

"How am I ever supposed to get over him?" I asked.

This time it was her turn to sigh.

"I don't know, but just give it time and everything will get better." She said.

"I feel like I can't even be friends with the other guys because they're practically his brothers so they might side with him." I said.

"Have you tried talking to them?" She asked.

I shook my head.

"No, but they've tried to get in contact with me." I said.

"I think you should try talking to them and if they ask your side of the story then just tell them." She said.

"I'm sure they won't even chose any sides." She added.

I slowly nodded my head.

"I think I'll just contact them later tonight." I said.

"Okay, good." She said giving me a small smile.

"You should probably get going because you have a date with my brother in like an hour." I said.

"Do you want to come over to help me get ready?" She asked.

"Yeah, sure." I said nodding my head.

We both stood up from my bed and headed out of my room then went downstairs. When I opened my front door I saw Zach standing there with his hand up -he was clearly getting ready to knock on the door- and I froze. I opened and closed my mouth not knowing what to say. All I wanted to do was hug Zach and tell him how much I've missed him, but I didn't because I couldn't. Kylie finally stepped in between Zach and me.

"What are you doing here?" Kylie asked him.

"Oh I um wanted to see Brandon." Zach said.

My heart dropped a little when I realized he wasn't even here to see me. Though that shouldn't be a big surprise to me.

"He probably still doesn't even believe me that I wasn't cheating on him." I thought to myself.

That thought that ran through my head only made me frown more than I already was. Zach glanced past Kylie and looked at me. I noticed a slight frown form on his face when he looked at me, but then he quickly looked away from me.

"Brandon and me have a date in an hour so there's no point in you hanging out with him." Kylie said.

"Oh uh well I only needed to talk to him about something for a bit, I won't stay here long." He said.

Kylie turned around and looked at me.

"You ready to leave, Lizzie?" She asked.

I quickly nodded my head, not looking at Zach.

"Okay let's go then." Kylie said linking her arms with him.

On our way out Kylie purposely bumped her shoulder into Zach's causing him to stumble back a bit. Kylie quickly rushed us over to her house and into her room.

"Are you okay?" She asked as she closed her door.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I lied.

"You sure?" She questioned.

I nodded and gave her a small smile to try and reassure her that I was fine, even though that was an obvious lie. I knew it and so did she. But since she's been my best friend for the longest time ever now, she knows not to push things. She knows that if I wanted to talk about something with her then I would. It just takes a little time.

"Let's just get you ready for your date, okay?" I asked.

She smiled and nodded.

"Okay." She said.

After helping Kylie get ready for her date with my brother, we both headed back to my house. As we were walking up to my porch, Zach walked out of the front door.

"Hey uh can we talk real quick, E?" Zach asked causing both Kylie and me to stop.

"You can talk to her in front of me." Kylie sneered.

"Ky, it's okay." I said.

She turned around and looked at me.

"Are you sure?" She asked raising her left eyebrow.

"I'm sure." I said.

"Okay, well I'll be right inside so yell if you need me." She said before walking into my house.

"So uh how've ya been, E?" Zach asked.

"You don't have the right to call me that anymore." I said shaking my head.

"I'm sorry." He mumbled.

"Can you just tell me what you wanted to talk about so I can just go inside and try to get some sleep?" I asked.

"It's only five o'clock." He said.

"Well I haven't been getting any sleep these past few weeks." I said quietly, even though I knew he could hear me.

"E, that's not healthy." He said sighing.

"Don't call me that." I said.

He stayed silent and just looked at me with sorrow in his eyes.

"Just tell me what you wanted to talk about already!" I exclaimed.

"The guys and me are throwing a party tomorrow and they want you there." He finally said.

"They want me there, but you don't?" I questioned.

"No, I do want you there," He stated, "but I figured you wouldn't want to go considering everything y'know?"

I scuffed.

"Stop with the fucking lies." I said.

"I've never once lied to you." He said.

I chuckled dryly.

"Zachary Dean Herron, I hope you realize you just lied right now." I said.

"Because I can assure you that every time you said you loved me was a lie." I continued.

"I never lied about loving you." He said.

"When someone loves someone they trust them and would never accuse them of doing anything." I said, "especially cheating on them."

"So therefore, you are a goddamn liar and I can't stand you." I added on.

I pushed pass Zach and entered my house -slamming my front door shut- before he could do anything.
