not your baby ; zach herron

eva shoves her way through the paparazzi as she enters the airport, scared that she'll miss her flight to new york. she's bombarded with questions involving zach and flashing cameras, taking photos of her every move. she remains silent, not looking at anyone. she keeps her head down, holding tightly onto her suitcase.

she sees the glass doors leading into the airport, sighing in relief. she quickly walks over to it but she feels a tug on her hair and falls back. she gasps for air once her back collides with the concrete. she lets out a yell and feels tears well up in her eyes.

"EVA IS IT TRUE ZACH IS YOUR BOYFRIEND?!" she rolls onto her stomach, grabbing her bags. "no it's not true"

she gets up, her hands gripping onto her bags, walking quickly into the airport. she avoids any type of interaction with people, flinching when the lady at the desk asks for her flight info. she looks around the crowded airport,  feeling lost and scared. she would be flying with jade but jade has been avoiding eva since the day teen vogue offered her a deal, which was exactly 2 weeks ago. eva stopped texting her, not seeing the point in bothering her anymore. she's been alone since that day. nobody made an effort to speak to her.

she walks over to the seats and sets her bags next to her. she pulls out her phone and sees no texts from jade. she knew jade was on her phone considering she has nothing else to do other than sleep.

she glances around the crowded room and notices a group of fans standing by the baggage. she takes notice in what they're wearing, why dont we merch. she stops staring once a few of them look at her. she looks at her lap, as if it's the most interesting thing.

she hasn't spoken to zach since the night of jade's party. she was tempted to ask christina for his number but she knew christina would tell all the other guys, which she didn't want to happen.

she looks up from her lap, regretting it immediately. she stares at the brunette, zach staring at her too. he feels his face getting warm, being grateful that his cheeks are naturally red. he looks away and starts to interact with the supporters around him.

he missed eva, he misses the way their hands intertwined, he misses her presence. he enjoyed her aura. being near her for that short time made him feel like a different person. he felt more happier and content.

he wanted to run to eva and hug her, but he knew the media would spread lies and ruin his reputation. his reputation. he cared too much about his ego. he would rather be single and alone than happy in a relationship. he would always worry about what the media would say. he needs their approval. it frustrates the guys, knowing they can barely do anything with zach because he always brings up the media. he wants to have the perfect singer reputation, not wanting anyone to ruin that, especially a relationship with someone who isn't famous.

zach glances at eva as she gathers her bags, heading towards the terminal. he looks up at the words above the door, "NEW YORK CITY." he began to wonder why she was going there. she was alone, with one suitcase, no one else in sight. he began to grow worried for her. she was going alone, to a big city, nobody to protect her.

if only i could protect her he thought, but he knew he could never protect her, let alone be with her.
