✔︎ Simple Beginnings || Zach Herron

<24>

"we need to talk," jack sternly said making me stiffen up immediately. I had no idea what was going on but from the tone of Jack's voice worried me, I looked at him right in the eyes showing my confusion which he brushed off. "you need to decide Paige." Jack bluntly stated causing me to squint my eyes even more. Jack sighed and explained the whole story to me.

"When you were cuddling or flirting with Jonah earlier Zach got upset; he stormed out of the room because you had just come back and thought he could work something out with you. Jonah thought something, not sure what and then Zach blew up on him. and that's what all the yelling was when you came downstairs." I physically 'o'ed at what happened, this was all my fault only because I was kinda flirty towards Jonah. Jack looked at me solemnly and patted me on the back, "you cant be flirty with both so just promise me you will pick soon?"

"Promise," I replied. With that, Jack and I walked back to the others who were still very tense with each other. as we all sat back down I couldn't get Jack's words out of my head, I have to pick one of them soon. Jack's right, but they're so awesome in their ways, Jonah is supporting, loving and so easy to get along with. Zach is sweet, caring, and a fantastic guy all around. As I sat in between Daniel and Jack, my mind went off somewhere else until I noticed jack waving his hand in front of my face. I laughed, brushing off how many things I had to think about over the next few days. As I looked around I saw Zach and Jonah glaring at each other from across the room, I sighed and walked upstairs to Daniel's place to sit.

I opened the door to w wave of cologne; I coughed there was so much and stepped inside to open up a window. I sat on Daniel's bed and started to contemplate everything. A few minutes I heard a knock at the door, in popped Zach's head and I laughed. He walked in and sat right next to me, I laid down and placed my head on his lap as he brushed through my hair with his fingertips calming me. It felt right being next to Zach, yet something was off. Probably my head because I was still very much lost in my decision.

"Did jack already tell you?"

"Yeah."

"Well, I'll always be here for you."

"Zach, you're still dating Aspen, you never broke up with her. How do I know you will?"

I sighed and got up from Zach's grasp; he looked at me with absolute passion in his eyes. I starred into his chocolate brown eyes once again lost in them, without noticing anything Zach and I have been getting closer and closer until our lips touched. There was so much emotion put in between our mouths as we moved in sync, it felt as if time had stopped for the five seconds we kissed. As Zach and I separated I starred into his eyes, oh his eyes; I could Get lost forever in them. He smirked as I realized it had been many minutes after, I blushed and hid my face with the sleeve of Zach's sweater. 

Suddenly Zach's phone buzzed, he immediately picked it up and answered pretty fast before placing it back into his pocket. I brushed it off and walked out of the room back to the guys once again.

The rain had settled, it was only spitting outside my favourite kind of weather! I sprinted towards the front entrance and snatched up my sneakers and jacket and ran outside. The rain felt cool on my cheeks as I looked up towards the grey clouds that hovered above all of LA. I could hear the boys all chuckling as they watched me dance in the rain; I looked right over at them and stuck my tongue out to prove how awesome this was. Jack rolled his eyes and followed Corbyn and Daniel back inside. 

A few minutes later the ran started seeping through my jacket, and I began to shiver, I walked towards the front door, but when I turned the doorknob to get inside, it was locked.
