We can't hide; We let go. [Zack Merrick Love Story.]

Chapter three.

Chapter three!

*First person P.O.V.*

I work up to Zack shaking me awake.

"Hey, I made you some eggs and bacon for breakfast, do you want some?"

I was still sleepy and just nodded. Zack scooped me up and carried me to the kitchen where there were two plates set out.

"You're vegan?"

I nodded again, still a bit tired.

"I can tell, tofu bacon and fake eggs."

"Yeah, it was something I started back in high school, and it kinda stuck with me."

Zack took a big bite of the bacon and made a surprised face.

"Wow, this actually isn't as bad as I thought."

"Thanks." I said, with a smile.

We ate in silence, and as we drank some coffee, I told Zack, "Sorry about falling asleep on you last night."

He looked up and said,"Its fine. I stayed in your room until the party died down. You're really cute when you sleep."

He stayed in my room? For how long? Maybe he slept in the same bed.

"Thank you. Did you sleep here last night?"

"Yeah, on the couch. I kinda cleaned up a little, but I left a lot of it for Rian." He said, with a smirk and laugh at the end.

Of course. He only slept here because Alex or Jack told him to. It was just to keep an eye on me. I actually thought he genuinely cared. I can't make the mistake of trusting guys I hardly know. I always did that, and it always turned out badly. Stop it.

I finished breakfast and went to the living room.

"Its a mess in there, still." Zack called out behind me as he put our plates in the sink. I looked around. Stupid Jack and Alex, they just HAD to throw a party. Red cups everywhere, stains on the carpet, furniture all messed up. My living room looked terrible.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Around three in the afternoon, Rian and Kara showed up. Zack let them in while I was still sitting on  the couch. Rian handed me my mail, and I asked how he got my lock number for my mailbox in the lobby.

"Alex gave me the number, told me to bring the mail up for you." He said, smiling.

"Thanks." I told him, getting up to go throw what I guessed was pure junk mail. As I was shuffling towards the trashcan in the other room, a letter with bright red words stamped across the front caught my attention. It read: NOTICE OF EVICTION.

"Fuck me."

"Whats wrong?" I jumped, the voice was right behind me. I dropped the letter on floor, along with all the junk mail.

"N-nothing. Jesus, you scared me."

"Oh, my bad. Here, let me get those." Zack started to lean over to get them, but I quickly squated down, ignoring the pain in my chest, and grabbed the eviction letter behind my back and threw the rest in the trash.

"Its all junk mail."

"Okay, well I just wanted to tell you, I'm leaving, but tomorrow I'm gonna drive down to the beach, do you want to come with me?"

"Um, sure. But I don't know if Alex will let me because of me still recovering and all."

"Well, please try. I'd love for you to come."

"I will." I told him with a smile.

Maybe Zack did care.
