"Just stoooop!" I snapped at zach. Hes been following me all day, putting his hands on me. "Why should i?" He asked winking. I rolled my eyes.

"Because if you fucking dont, I'll punch you in the throat. Got it?" I asked. He shook his head violently.

"Good." I said turning around to look at the enclosure at the zoo were at. Were at the zoo and it looks like jonah isn't having it. He seems really agitated at zach. I am the youngest and hes like actually my brother but still. Hes never been like this.

About 10 minutes later, zach put his hand on my waist. I turned around to punch him but jonah caught my fist and put it down. He shoed me off and started talking to zach. I think he just said something about touching me.

When he finished, he walked right past me, not even making eye contact and left me with jonah by the fish. He stood by me and completely disregarded that I'm pissed off at zach and changed the subject.

"Isnt that fish ugly?" He asked. "Yeah... like zach." I said and he chuckled. "You're not wrong." He said. I saw jack on the other side, through the glass. It was hard to tell but it looked like he was sad.

We met eyes and it was like the first time we met, obvious but completely disregarded. I walked over and stood by him, leaving jonah.

"Hey." I said. "I'm sorry I ever lost you." He choked, tearing up already. "What do you mean?" I asked, wanting to see if he will really try or if hes just gonna take everything.

"Im sorry that I broke your heart. I realise now that you're everything i need, you were made for me. I need you, I want you, and I love you. I just want to be able to feel your hand in mine even though you hate it. I want to pop up out of nowhere and scare you.... but I want you back." He said crying.

"Jack calm down." I said, considering were at a zoo. "No, I'm not. I never will. I'm sorry." He said starting to walk away. Maybe he does love me still.

Thinking fast, i grabbed his jacket. "Jack stop. Come back please." I said quietly as I dragged him back over.

"What?" He asked looking back down at me. "I'm sorry too." I said. He looked at me funny. "I'm sorry. I've been treating you like an asshole." I said.

He didn't do anything, just kind of look at me. His hand on my shoulder rose to my face and he kissed me. If only you knew how long I've been waiting for that.
