✔︎ Simple Beginnings || Zach Herron

<23>

I swiftly got up from Jonah's lap as I saw Zach hiding in the corner angry, he stormed out of the room unexpectedly, and I just stood there looking at where Zach was stood. I was set back by Zach's emotions; he was still dating Aspen anyway why be mad at me? I spun around to see the boys all staring at me with confusion, I shrugged it off and went to sit by Jonah once again this time only leaning on his shoulder. Jonah was the one guy I haven't talked to this entire time but seemed the nicest so far; he helped me out with my surprise for Jack and was genuinely astounding. As I lay onto Jonah, he felt so comfortable, his shoulder perfectly fits my head, and as his head was on mine, it felt so calm and lovely. I smiled and rested my eyes until I fell right to sleep.

Jonah's Pov

Paige rested her head on my shoulder; a shiver went down my spine, not like I was scared but of something different. I placed my head on top of hers, and before I knew it, adorable snores came from her. I grinned and looked at Jack who was Aweing at the circumstances. Suddenly I remembered Zach, I'm somewhat now his brother, and I know how much he can care for a girl but knowing what he did to her, I think I deserve Paige, she's an angel made for me. I slowly got up holding Paige's head to make sure she wouldn't fall over and swiftly picked her up bridal style and shuffled to my room before placing her onto my bed and tucking her into the sheets. I stared at her in awe as she lay in my bed still.

As I walked downstairs to the rest of the boys I noticed Zach had stolen my seat, "um bro, that's where I was sitting."

"you steal something from me, ill steal whatever from you," Zach mumbled, which I could hear. Angering me even more, I stormed in front of the boy and picked him up by the collar of his shirt making direct eye contact. Zach kept looking around the room avoiding my gaze while the other boys were staring at us in confusion. "get off me!." he yelled, spitting in my face. I dropped the boy, Zach threw a punch my way. I was fuming at this point, getting ready to throw one back before I knew it I was pulled off Zach by Corbyn; I was struggling to get out of his grip when there was suddenly footsteps coming down the stairs.

Paige's Pov

I awoke no longer beside Jonah, but in someone's room, I looked around as I rubbed my eyes and recognized it was Jonah's. I slowly stood up from his bed hearing yelling from downstairs. I became curious knowing it most likely wasn't an intruder but someone may be fighting about chips. I looked around the corner when the yelling came to an abrupt stop; looking right at me was all the boys standing beside each other, I looked back at them confused and Daniel shrugged it off. Jack walked over to me and grabbed my arm pulling me to the kitchen away from the rest of the guys.

"we need to talk," jack sternly said making me stiffen up immediately.
