I woke up to me in Zach's grasp
And i was actually surprised Zach was actually stronger than i thought..

I slowly slide under his arms and get dressed.
I change into some Black leggings and a hoodie..with some black vans

I throw my hair in a tangled messy bun and put on some crystal clear lip gloss since im not 'all that'. Oh and i put on my black rim glasses since i didnt feel like putitng my contacts

"Zach" i say
"Mfmm"
"Wake up"
"We have to go back to L.A."

He rolls over and gets up.

He takes a quick shower than he changes into some black jeans and a black hoodie that say 'look alive' on it
And to top it all of he puts on the same shoes as me just his size.

"Ready?"
"Ready"

I nod as we walk downstairs to see everyone packed up and saying goodbye

"What the hell guys" i say looking at my watch's time

"Sorry we almost forgot about you guys" Daniel says giving us a nervous laugh..

"Yeah...sorry" Jack says

I just laugh

"Its fine trust me"

They all sigh in relief and walk to the van.

I sit next to Zach and Corbyn since Daniel called shot gun and Jack was already in the back back of the van.

{Skip time 'Back in L.A.}

Finally.. we were back in L.A.

We all unpack everything at our own houses.
Oh did i mention my family found a house down where my Aunt stays and they've told me to book a flight to live there but i decided not to.. and just live in my childhood house and stay with my friend's..
But i do promise to visit them every holiday and in the summer time.

Finally i was done unpacking so i went to Zach's house..

As i was walking i noticed something odd...

Zach's house wasn't down by all the other houses
It was gone..

I didn't see the pretty red flower in his garden no where i didnt see the soccer set up in the back yard
But most importantly i didn't see his house..

I started to get weirded out so i called Zach himself..
I dial his number as he answers

"Hello?"

"Hey Zach"

"Hey Zoey whats the matter?"

"Well i called wondering where your house was.."

It was silent for a second then he said something finally..

"Zoey...when i was at school..the other day my mom was cooking something.. and she wasnt really watching it so it caught on fire...she tried to cool it down but i became worst..my baby brother survied b-but she didnt.." he says as his voice became softer

"And im only 16.. S-so i cant take care of my brother until i turn 18.. so he's with my Aunt.. my mom's sister.." he says with a lump in his throat..

"Zach im so sorry.."

"Its not you're fault Zoey.."

"So basically the house is gone now" Zach says..
