A blessing in disguise

Seventeen

Zach drove and drove and drove. I have no idea where he is going, but I didn't dare question him. The red mark on his face began to fade. I can tell it's going to leave a huge bruise on his face. I felt so guilty and ashamed. This is my fault. Zach would of never had gotten slapped if I didn't have a baby. If I didn't fall in love with him and agree to live with him while he was on tour.

Zach pulled up to a nice looking house. He honked the horn and signalled for me to get out of the car with him. I unbulked my seat belt and followed Zach to the front door of the house. I was relieved when Cameron answered the door. He gave Zach on look and didn't have to say anything. He took John from me and walked off into the kitchen. Zach grabbed my hand and walked upstairs. We entered a well put toghter room, from my guess it's a guest room. Zach and I sat on the edge of the bed. I ran his fingers over the palm of my hand multiple times before speaking.

"So I guess you're wondering what's going on."

I answered with a nod of my head.

"Well I went inside and sat my mother and father down to talk. I told my parents the entire story. When my mom asked how old you were she lost it. She was already upset about the baby, but she was furious to find out that you're a minor. She slapped me across the face and told me that I'm a failure. I got up to leave and she countinued to follow me out the door. That's when I drove us to Cameron's house. He assumed that something like this would happen. This room is our room for now and John has one across the hall. Cameron lives with his grandma, but she is currently on vacation and won't be back until after we leave for tour."

"I'm so sorry Zach." I said with tears in my eyes.

"Don't be. I want to be with you. I chose you over my parents."

I couldn't think of any words to describe what I feeling, so I sat there in silence for awhile. I decided to lighten up the mood abit.

"So we get to offically share a room, huh?" I said with the raise of one of my eyebrows.

"I guess so" He said with a smirk on his face.

The boys are going on two tours in the next year. The first one is a mini mall tour which will take a little under two weeks. Then we have five months to get ready for the big tour which will be broken in half. 20 shows and then we have 2 weeks off, then another 20. I'm not going on the mini mall tour simply because it would be pointless to carry around a 3 month old baby on a two week tour.

The boys leave tomorrow for their mall tour and Zach insist that we spend every second possible together.

"Zach you have to pack!" He was chasing me around our room tickling me.

"No, never!" He was laughing over his words.

I tripped and fell on the floor, Zach was still running and he fell on me. I flipped on my stomach and looked a Zach who was resting on his hands.

"Got you." He smiled and paused.

"Yeah you do." I leaned up and kissed him.

He kissed me back. He dropped his hands and rested on his elbows. This time my tongue entered his mouth. I wrapped my arms around his neck. This went on for a couple on minutes before Zach wrapped his arms around my waist and lifted me up. When he stood I wrapped my legs around his waist. He pinned me to the wall. I wanted more, I needed more. He was the one who pulled back.

"I can't, I'm sorry." He said with a worried look in his eyes.

I sighed.

"My mom?"

He nodded in response.

I wrapped my arms him and embraced him. My hug obviously surprised him a bit, he probably thought that I would be mad. But I wasn't mad, I was happy that he cared about us staying together and that he didn't want to take advantage of me. He hugged me back and dragged us both over to the bed. We cuddled for the remainder of the day. Cameron was the one who came in our room to get Zach. But not before snapping a picture of us.

"You guys are so cute." He was fangirling.

I held John and walked Zach to the door. The van was all loaded up with the boy's stuff.

Zach intertwined our fingers. He tucked my bangs behind my ear and gave me a kiss.

"I'm going to miss you a lot." He sighed, I can tell he was holding back tears.

This was hard for Zach because he was with John and I everyday for the past 3 months.

"I'll call you everyday."

"I'll answer" I said

He gave me one last kiss and hugged John goodbye.

I took John's hand and waved goodbye to the boys as they drove off.
