Broken hope

chapter 13

I Stand up quickly meeting the  beautiful hazel eyes that stare at me, the same way they used to. His gentle soft hands wipe my silent tears away, and he engulfs me in a tight, over due, breath taking hug. I thought i would never lay my eyes on him again. I thought that was the very last goodbye we ever said to each other when we were 14, when he left and i watched him get on the plane. All i can do right now is hug him back as tight as i can, never wanting to let go taking in his smell, how tall he's gotten, how his big arms warp so perfectly around me. At that moment everything thats just happened i forget about, all i can think about is him, how he's here, how he's holding me. We stay hugging for about 5 minuets and once we let go it doest feel like it was long enough.

I look him in the face, he still looks like Zach, just a bit older. He still had his same brown shaggy hair that i loved, his eyes didn't change at all. Although his voice got so much deeper.

"what are you doing here?" He asks

" I think i should be asking you that question." I smirk at him.

"touche." he laughs, " I came back. I graduated early, i turned 18 and all i could think about was you and how i needed to come back. My parents understood, told me I'm grown up and to go. So here i am."

"I missed you so much." I cry out. He embraces me in another hug. his gentle deep voice whispers in my ear, " I missed you like crazy" Then he pulls away and looks at me. " You're even more beautiful than i remember, your hair has gotten so long. Your eyes are gorgeous." He tells me touching my hair then my cheek, which makes my cheeks go warm and i blush. Then i finally see his breath taking smile. I automatically smile back. 

"I thought you forgot about me and this place." I tell him.

"How could i? I would have dreams of the past memories. So many things reminded me of you, you never left my head."

"Oh... So what made you come to the park?" I ask.

"well right as i started driving down your street, i saw a girl with a troubled looking face, dash across the road heading towards the park, and decided to follow." He explains. It's weird to see him, to hear him. He's right in front of me, he's so close yet it feels so unreal. But I'm so happy. I can't believe he's here I cant comprehend it. " So what made you run here so fast?" He finally asks. Then the scene comes flashing back to me. Zane's kiss, the feelings, my mom, the stinging slap, then the moment Zane punched her, finally when i ran out. I look up at Zach, placing my hand on my cheek where my mother struck, wondering if it was red. I begin to open my mouth to explain, but all that comes out are tears and sobs. Zach just holds me, tightly. Whispering its okay.

" Do you wanna go for a drive?" he asks. I nod my head. He grabs my hand and leads me to his car. An old mustang. It definitely fits his personality i think to myself. As he turns on the engine, he looks over to me and smiles, "where to?" I glance out the window. " Anywhere but here." I tell him, we start moving going to who knows where.

I keep my eyes out the window and all i can think about is Zane. I feel terribly guilty. I left him there right in the middle of that. My mom. The kiss he gave me. The kiss, i left him right after that, i just ran out. What if he's looking for me? What did he do after i ran? Is he okay?

" We have to go back!" i shout.

" What? are you okay? why?" Zach spits out all at once.

" I left Zane there in the middle of everything, i ran out i cant just leave him like that, he might be looking for me." I try to explain although i dont know if it makes much sense, because Zach wasnt there and has no clue what im talking about.

"Zane?" He asks

"Yes my friend. I left him in the middle of something horrible with my mother." I say. And Zach looks at me as if he understands. Because he knows my mom, he's experienced it and been through it with me. So he turns around and we head towards my house.
