Chasing Rainbows // Zach Herron

Chapter 18

"Zach, be safe" Bella said kissing Zach's lips. Zach and the four other boys were going to Florida for two days. They were leaving Bella, Christina, Rosey, and Charles home with each other. "I'll be fine, you be safe though" zach said rubbing her back. Bella smiled and closed the door after saying bye to the rest of the boys. Bella sighed once she realized she was at Zach, Jacks, Jonah's, and Daniels house alone.

They all told Bella that she could stay in that house with Zach's kids while they're gone. She smiled at the thought but realized that Christina had them for the first day. Bella observed the boy's house and realized what a mess it was. She decided to clean it. Over the last week, Bella felt happy. She felt nothing could get in the way of her happiness.

Bella jumped at the sound of the front door opening. When she turned her head, she saw Chloe, Jonah's girlfriend of one month, standing there. "Did they leave yet?" She said out of breath. "Yes, they did. You just missed them" Bella said annoyed. Chloe and Bella didn't get along and it didn't make Bella feel better knowing that she was going to be spending two days with her.

"Listen, I know we don't like each other-" Chloe began to say but was cut off by Bella. "I never said I didn't like you. We just don't get along" she said and smiled at her response. "Okay, well anyways. I was thinking, maybe we should go clubbing tonight. You know? Since we don't have the kids today." Chloe said excitedly sitting on the living-room couch. "Sure, why not" Bella said smiling.

Chloe squealed and grabbed Bella's hands. "Tonight will be our night. Be dressed by eight sharp." She said smiling. Bella nodded her head and looked at the clock. It was only four in the afternoon and she felt exhausted. "I'll just sleep until then" she said and began walking up to Zach's room.

Bella put on a red, tight skinned dress and glanced at her body in the mirror. She frowned and thought about changing. She quickly walked out of Zach's room, knocking on Jonah's door. Chloe opened it and looked star struck by Bella's dress. "It's beautiful, definitely wear it." She said and clapped. "You don't think that it's too tight?" Bella asked curiously.

"No, it's so pretty on you." Chloe replied. Bella thanked her and made her way back to Zach's room. She noticed the few missed calls from Zach and quickly clicked 'call back'. Within seconds, Zach's face appeared on the screen. "Woah, what are you getting ready for?" Zach said as his eyes widened. "Chloe thinks that we should go to the club together. She thinks it will help us bond." Bella said as Zach laughed. "Jonah's girl is crazy." He replied. "She's making me wear this dress." Bella said and flipping the camera.

She showed zach the dress and he was practically drooling over it. "Okay, okay I can tell you like it." She said and blushed. "You look beautiful. There's just one problem." Zach said seriously. "What?" She said raising her eyebrow. "Guys might be tempted to get with you. I'm not there to fight them away, Bella."

"Oh my god, shut up. I'm not going to cheat on you." She said and felt her cheeks heat up in anger. "Well, with you in that dress." He began. He suddenly stopped when Jack, from behind the phone, kept mouthing to stop. It caused Zach to be confused, but realized he was hurting Bella's feelings. "Whatever, I have to go. Bye Zach. Have fun." Bella said sounding upset while hanging up.

"Dumbass" Jack said towards Zach. "Well, what am I suppose to do? Let her go out in a dress like that" he said pointing to his phone. "You shouldn't be angry at her, it's not even hers. Plus, she loves you. She won't cheat on you, if that's what you are really worried about." Zach just sighed and threw his phone on the ground. "I'm such a dumb fuck." "We know" jack said and laid down on the bed.

After Bella was done getting ready, she met Chloe outside. "Ready?" She asked Bella as the Uber was pulling up. Bella nodded and cleared her mind. The thought of Zach not wanting her to go out in that dress slipped her mind. "We're going to have so much fun." Chloe practically screamed.
