The First Text (A Why Don't We Fanfiction)

CHAPTER 28

{A DOUBLE UPDATE FOR YOU GUYS💛 Also, I'll hopefully finish at Chapter 30-34 which means just a couple chapters to go...enjoy!}

I wake up to my alarm clock. And as a habit, I turn on my phone.

A lot more notifications and messages from Freya and co.

As soon as I open the messages, I instantly regret it.

As if I couldn't handle more hate, they've seen the Snapchat. But it's not even that.

It was Amber's birthday yesterday.

I TOTALLY forgot.

I'm such an asshole.

I was so caught up with my own thoughts that I totally forgot about it.

I instantly feel horrible and I apologise, saying I'd give her a big hug and buy her lots of presents. Although they're all angry, she says it's okay and the others calm down a bit.

I explain the situation, not about my anxiety or anything but about the kiss and the whole thing with Mum and going home early and although they want to stay mad, they still want to know more.

Although, as soon as I tell them
'We'll speak later, I'm sorry. I've gotta meet Zach.', their moods change.

Amber sends an '😅', Freya sends a '🙄' and Olivia sends a '🤦🏼‍♂️'.

It's as if they planned it...way to make me feel great!

But it's time to move on for now and get ready. At crazy o'clock.

I'm ready in record time and Zach miracolously comes in time.

His hair is flat and down, he's wearing fluffy pajama bottoms, paired with a a hoodie and his black socks and Gucci shoes.

I pray to god no police will be around at this time.

I mean, Zach has illegally driven out in public for god's sake.

Zach eagerly waits for me to come in and as soon as I do, he almost speeds off.

I'm actually terrified that the police will come, judging by his speed but after arriving at the destination, they don't come and that's a relief.

"Sorry for speeding but we don't have much time."

I don't answer him.

There's silence all the way until we reach where he wanted to go to.

We silently climb out of the car and walk over a boulder that overlooks parts of LA.

It's beautiful at this time of day since the sun is still starting to wake up, so there's a slight orange hint in the sky, along with some blues.

I can see why Zach wanted to talk here. It's peaceful.

He leads me to a bench that is conveniently placed to overlook the view. He ushers for me to sit. I do as he says.

Weirdly, it's me who speaks first.

"It's been a weird 3 days to say the least. First, we meet. Then we have a moment. Then I go off with Jack. You become pissed and then we kiss. You admit you like me but then still get pissed and now you're back to liking me... what's the deal
Zach?"

Throughout this, Zach has been staring into the sunrise.

Until he blinks and speaks up.

"I agree. And when I was pissed, you were the person in my mind. I never truly was pissed with you, believe it or not. And I'm here to say sorry. After that kiss was the final straw that made me realise- shit, I really like you and losing you would be so so so shitty." he goes on and finally looks at me with his warm, brown eyes.
