Rebel's Boy

Chapter 8

^Zachary's P.O.V.^

I walked to Katy's apartment. I went to open the door but it was locked. I should have realised it would be at like 4 in the morning.

I used the key she kept hidden. I walked in and all the lights were off but I heard something running.

I started turning on all the lights. I run to Katy's room see her carpet wet. I walked in her bathroom.

The bathroom floor was covered in about 3 inches of water. I ran over to her bathtub and it off.

I picked her out of the tub. She was drowning herself she looked asleep. She looked pink. She looked exhausted.

I did CPR after a few minutes of doing it she started to spit out water. I was so happy I got to life but I was still really sad that she was wanting to do it.

She looked up and saw me. She started looking around. "W-what are y-you doing-ing here?" She asked teeth chattering. "I snuck out to check on you you seemed upset." I said picking her up and laying her on her bed.

I got in her closet and picked up some sweats and a shirt. I took off my hoodie and gave it to her. I turned around bit not leaving because I was not leaving her alone.

"I a-am done." Katy calls I turn around and notice the hoodie is a bit to big for her but I smiled. "Come on we have to go to your living room. We will call your plumber tomorrow and landlord and you stay with me." I say

She nods not talking much. I look down at her seeing that she was staring off in space thinking. "Katy can you tell me why you did that?" I asked

She looked up at me and nodded. We took a seat on her couch. I pulled her close to me. I was scared of her running off.

"I am sorry but this story might be long." She starts off and I nod. "I was 14 when my dad died of old age. It was not surprising but I was still a little upset. It was a week after his death. It was raining I had school. My siblings did not since we went to sprate schools because I was in middle school and they were younger. "

She took a deep breath trying not to cry I can see it. So I hold her tighter pul her in my lap doing so. She just lays her head on my chest.

"The funeral was that day my mom was taking them. She was a very very careful driver but it did not matter it was raining. And the other person was drunk driving a pick up truck. They crashed. My mom died instantly so did my brother they both were up front. My other two siblings were in critical condition."

She started crying she made no noise it looks like she done this before just sit their crying barely shaking and barely any emotion in her voice. I bring her closer and wipe her cheeks. I am really tempted to head but I feel I should not so I just hold her.

"It took a month before they actually died I was with them day after day. I sat there not moving unless it was to eat what the nurse brought me. The hospital had showers where they were staying I used them so I looked good for when they woke up. They never woke up." She says in one gulp of air.

I nod at what she said. "But that was only the beginning. When I went to school everyone ignored me. Ryder was the only person who stood by my side. I stayed in foster care for a year til' I was 15. My foster mother helped me. I still visit her often I love her she took care of everyone as their own child. She wanted everyone to have home. I told her I was pansexual and she just hugged me and smiled. She loved me and I loved her."

"She cannot have her own children because she has a wife which is adorable. Her wife deals with kids who were kicked out or ran away for being in the LGBTQ+ I love them."

"But that was when I turned 16 Derek and I started dating. At 16 and 1/2 I told I was pansexual. He started to abuse me that same day because I was at his house. When I left I came to school. At the house I told him to tell no one he did not. I went to school with the all the bruises showing every single one. He looked at me I walked up to him and beat his ass."

"Since I could not do it at his house I did at school not caring. I told him this 'Derek you did all these bruises telling me I was worthless whore a mistake and a slut that no one would love me. You never broke up with me thinking you could keep abusing me. I say laughing. Well I just broke up with your sorry ass. I said and walked away." Katy said I looked at her in amazement she been through so much and was here but she had just gave up.

"I am starting to believe what he said about no one loving me. He told everyone I am pansexual. Everyone hated me but Ryder. Ryder also had his secret told to the whole school." She said I look down at her I couldn't help it. It was a lie liked her maybe not love but I have feelings for her.

I turned her face up to me. I kissed her. I kissed very softly her lips are soft but cold. I pulled away and looked at her she stared at me in shock. I just looked away.

I knew I did something wrong I should have not kissed her damn it.

~Katy's P.O.V.~

He kissed me. He kissed me. I smiled he likes me. Why else would he kissed me. He looked away from me like he was ashamed. I must have gave him the wrong impression.

I want him to know I like him. I know something. So I kissed him. He looked at me in shock. He kissed me back. I smiled in the kiss.

We pulled apart. We smiled at each other. He had this look in his eye I did not know about. We started watching a movie.

I was cuddling in his lap til' I fell asleep.

^Zachary's P.O.V^

She likes me. I kept thinking. She was cuddling in my lap sleeping. I was waiting til' six o'clock so I can take to my house. I am really happy she likes me I will ask her out on date soon. I am just going to wait for Ryder. I smiled.
