RECAP:
That was a great day. I'll send her these notes and different types of flowers until, the final note, the most important day of our friendship, and her favorite type of flower. Oh, and directions.
END OF RECAP.
ABBY'S POV-
It's been a week or so since Zach texted me. I have to be honest here, I miss him. I miss him more than anything in the world. I would kill to be back in his arms again. The warmth, the safety, his smell. I love him, I love him like I've never loved anyone before. I love him so much it hurts. It hurts because he is gone, and about what he did. That dark awful day. I'll never forget what happened, I'll never forget the words he said to me..... I hear the sound of the doorbell ringing. I walk to the door and see the FedEx delivery man standing there in the snow with a box. I sign the clipboard and say thanks. This is weird, I haven't ordered anything. I run to my kitchen and grab a knife, ready for a snake to pop out and murder my face. I watch too many horror movies. I slowly open the box, ready to stab a chupacabra or some shiz, but it was just a bouquet of flowers. I pick the flowers up and drop my knife. They are roses. The look, and smell beautiful. Who did this? A note drops out of the flowers. I pick the note up and start to read it.
Dear Queen-
Hey, I know I screwed up but I truly love you. I love you so much. Do you really think what I did on September 28, 2016, was fake? Yeah, no. I loved that day, I hope you did too, just please forgive me.
-King-
September 28, 2016. How could I forget that it was the day that everything changed, I just don't know if it was a change for the better or for the worse.
~~~~FLASHBACK~~~~
ZACH'S POV-
I'm sooooo bored. Maybe I can get Abby to go somewhere with me. But where? Maybe get our nails done or go to the mall. All girls like that right? -(OUCH ZACH's IMAGINARY MIND, OUCH)- Nah, maybe she just wants to chill or go for a walk. THAT'S IT! A hike! I'll text her.
Zach- Hey, wanna go for a walk?
TheGirlNextDoor😍-Oh my gosh, is THE Zachary Herron asking me to go for a WALK?!?
Zach-If you want him to.😏😂
TheGirlNextDoor😍-I would be honored, Jacob!
Zach-Whatever🙄 Be there in 5.😂
.....end.....
Ohmygoodness this girl. She's cute and funny, and, and well,........perfect.
ABBY'S POV-
HOLY MOTHER OF CHICKEN NUGGETS I AM WEARING PJ'S AND I DO NOT MEAN THE CUTE KIND I REPEAT, NOT THE CUTE KIND. I have 5 fricking minutes.........HERE WE GO! I run to my dresser and find a cute outfit. I guess that'll do~
I throw my hair up in a messy bun, surprisingly cute on the first try. I don't usually wear makeup but something told me to throw some on. Okay, I think I'm ready. I look cute, I think. Just as I walk out of the bathroom the doorbell rings, OH NO, I have no shoes, nor my phone, or my keys. IM NOT READY. I try to sprint to my room to grab my phone and my keys but I'm wearing socks and I slide on my hardwood floor and fall on my butt. Ouch. Zach rings the doorbell one more time, but I can't stand up at the moment so I yell. "COME IN!" I'm in my room so I start butt scooching to the stairs. "Hello?" Zach says starting to look around. "I'm up here," I say as I see him walk towards the stairs. "Why are you on the ground?" He says staring at me as if I grew 3 heads. "Oh, I don't know, admiring the beautiful landscape?" I say with an extremely straight face. "Wow, I could cut the sarcasm in here with a knife." He says with a laugh as he reaches for my hand. I take his hand and he helps me up. "So where are we going on this walk?"I say. "You'll see, but it's more of a hike," he says walking down the stairs. "No, I won't," I say. "What do you mean?" he says stopping mid-staircase. "I mean, I met you like four days ago, you could be a psycho murderer about to kill me on our 'hike'," I say with wide eyes. He climbs back up the stairs to meet me at the top. He hasn't said anything. Just walked slowly without his eye contact straying away from mine. He is getting closer and closer, yep he is a psycho murderer, that I let in my house and now he is going to kill me. He wraps one of his arms around my waist pulling me closer than friends should be. Yep, he is going to kill me but in a completely different way. His other hand slowly cups my face. Zach slowly leans in. HOLY SH*T. I NEED HOLY WATER. I DON'T KNOW WHATS HAPPENING. Finally, his lips touch mine and he kisses me, at first I just sit there shocked but then Zach pulls me closer (if that is even possible) as if inviting me to kiss him back. I take his invitation and kiss back, Yep he's a murderer he just killed me.
ZACH'S POV-
I wrap one of my arms around Abby's waist pulling her closer, closer than I thought I'd ever get. I snake my hand up slowly and cup her face. I slowly lean in, hinting at what I'm about to do. Finally, my lips crash into hers. At first, she doesn't kiss back. Did I do something wrong? I pull her closer to me trying to hint towards the fact I want her to kiss back. She finally gets the gist and kisses back. We stand there kissing for a while until I pull away and say "Would a psycho murderer do that?" with a smirk. She grins back and says "Yes." "Way to ruin the moment," I say with an unreadable face. Faster than my mind could comprehend she grabs my face and pulls me back in. When we part the second time she says "And a flat-out psycho would do that." She flips her hair and walks back to her room leaving me leaning on her banister with the taste of her lips lingering on mine. When she walks out we get ready for our hike and leave. When we finally arrive at our destination and take cute pictures. When we arrive back at my house we hang out for a bit until she leaves, as she walks to the door she yells, "Bye Jacob!" so I yell "Bye Gail!". When we were hanging out today we talked, and got to know each other, I told her things I haven't even told the boys. She told me that everybody back home called her Gail and she hated it, she said it was an old lady name. "OUCH!" she screams back. When I hear the door shut I immediately fall on the couch, completely starstruck. Not from a celebrity, but from Abigail O'Neil. The girl next door.
~~~~END OF FLASHBACK~~~~
ABBY'S POV-
Uhg, this boy doesn't give up. That was a great day though. I can never forget about that. I don't want to ever forget about that. Sometimes I can still taste his lips, but maybe it's just my imagination. Maybe I should text him.
Abby-Hey, I got your flowers, nice try. I can't just let you back in like that.
My Favorite💙🤘💙-Not yet.
.....end.....
What does he mean by not yet? Whatever, I'm gonna go edit a video. Sometimes I think Zach got me youtube-famous, but I should stop thinking that. I'm talented, there is nothing more to it. I hope.
