Zach Herron and Jack Avery are a part of a band called Why Don't We but when word gets out that they are more than friends, things get a little...out of control.
I knew it would work. I'm really glad the other boys agreed to help me though. But I think they wanted us to get back together because it kinda made the atmosphere uncomfortable.
After the pool I went back up to our room and changed knowing Zach would probably come looking for me soon.
I know I didn't seem like it, but I really missed him. It was real hard to leave him in the pool but I knew I had too. It was part of the plan.
I went back downstairs and sat with my legs laid out put on the couch. I checked through Instagram to see what was happening.
It seemed like the worst of it had calmed down. People seemed to kinda just except it. Or maybe I just didn't see it, I don't know. I hadn't posted anything for awhile so I thought I'd post a picture.
I took a quick picture and posted it.

I wrote for the caption: Lots of changes.
I didn't really know what I meant. I wanted to tell the fans about me and Zach and I know a lot of them will be happy/accepting but it still scares me.
I don't know what might happen if I actually said we are dating.
But they already saw us making out in our pool. That's proof enough.
I'll ask Zach. I don't wanna say anything if he isn't ok with it.
Already I was getting a bunch of comments so I looked through them.
"Yah like making out with Zach." One said.
"I feel so bad for him and Zach they don't deserve all this hate." Said another.
"Gay."
"Changes???"
"My ship is sailing."
I sighed as I read through the comments. A lot of them were people feeling bad for me and Zach but also a lot were hate too. The hate mostly came from non fan accounts though which helped a little I guess. We still had our fans on our side.
Our fans.
I looked out the window to our front yard. I looked back at my phone then got up and walked out the house.
I didn't really think about it much but just kinda left. I really wanted to find a limelight.
I got to the town and looked around at people seeing if anyone was looking at me.
I skated around a bit but not before long I heard the typical high pinched squeal.
"JACK!"
I turned around and picked up my skate board. It was a two girls who were about the same age and height as me.
"Hi!" I said and hugged them both.
It was nice to see fans again.
"Is everything ok?" The shortest one asked, who had dark brown hair and greenish eyes that reminded me of Corbyn's.
I shrugged, surprised that she was getting straight to the point so quickly.
"It's awful, all that hate." The other one said. She had blond hair and brown eyes.
"There's nothing we can do about it. We'll get hate either way."
"Well if it means anything to you I think you are a cute couple." Said the blond haired girl.
"Me too." Said the other girl.
"What's your names?" I asked.
"Mady." Said the browned haired girl. "And this is Tiffany."
"I like those names."
"If you...you don't mind me asking, are you and Zach actually dating?" Said Tiffany.
I was kinda nervous to say but I thought I could trust these girls so I nodded.
"I've always shipped you two. I don't know how anyone doesn't. I always knew it was real." Said Tiffany.
"What are y'all gonna do about all the hate though?" Said Mady.
I shrugged. "We don't know. Nothing I guess. Zach isn't taking it well though and wouldn't kiss me-" I covered my mouth knowing I've said too much.
The looked really surprised.
"He won't kiss you?"
Too late now might as well tell them the whole story.
I sighed. "Not really. We broke up...kinda...for awhile because the hate was getting to Zach. I uh..."
I felt really awkward talking to fans about our relationship, but they had sympathetic looks on their faces so I continued.
"I kissed him a few hours ago and he kissed back so...I don't know what's gonna happen. I ran away."
"You ran away?" They both said in sync.
"I didn't really run away I can go where ever I want but I didn't tell anyone I was leaving. I hope Zach's not worrying about me...last time I went away without telling him he almost had a heart attack. Gosh that was scary. Not as scary as the time he was trampled by angry girls though."
They were looking at me wide eyed.
Am I saying too much? I just really want to see what the fans have to say about all this.
"That's awful. No one should have to go through that." Said Mady. Tiffany nodded in agreement.
They looked heartbroken. I felt bad. Maybe I shouldn't have said anything. But still, I feel like they are glad to know. Even if it's awful.
I nodded and a tear rolled down my cheek but I quickly wiped it away not wanting to act like that in front of the fans.
"Do y'all want a photo or something?" I asked taking in a deep breath.
"No." Said Mady.
"You don't?" That was a first.
"No. I don't. I want to help you. You and Zach. But I don't know how."
