A•DAY•AWAY

A/n the WiFi in my hotel is kind of bad, but I was able to get the chapter up. Hope you like it.

Jonah's POV

Today Zach and I are taking a day away from school to visit his dad and walk around town.

"Zachy? Zach. Baby you need to get up" I say softly shaking him to try and get him up.

"Noooooo" he drags out. He's not much of a morning person, but I find it cute but annoying.

"Zach get up, we need to go, visiting hours start in an hour." And with that, Zach becomes more awake. He stretches out his body letting out a squeak as he did so, I let out a quiet 'aw', and he blushed.

"I'm going to brush my teeth" he says tiredly walking to the bathroom.

"What do you want to wear today?!?" I shout from his closet.

"Anything!" he shouts back from the bathroom while brushing his teeth.

I walk to the very back of his closet to the area with all his girl clothes. I look around, and pick out a white cropped hoodie with ripped denim skinny jeans and Nike Airs, and panties.

When I walk out of the closet, Zach walks up to me and takes the clothes. He gives me a kiss on the cheek before walking away to the bathroom to change.

I sit in the beanbags and play a game on
my phone.

"BOO!" Zach yells and jumps next to me. I scream in fear while he laughs.

"Stop fucking doing that Zach" I say annoyed but trying to keep a straight face. I can't help it he's so adorable.

"Come on Jobear. I know you want to smile" he says squeezing my cheeks softly.

"Fine!" I say smiling.

"I knew it. You can't resist the urge to smile around me. I'm too fucken amazing" he says dramatically before getting up and running downstairs.

By the time I get downstairs, he already has the cereal in his hands pouring it in a cereal bowl.

"Damn. I'm missed the show" I say putting my hands on his waist. He jumped a little at my voice and touch.

"Well, next time try not to be a lazy ass and get down the stairs faster." He replies putting the milk back into the fridge before walking to the counter to eat.

"Yeah yeah whatever." I say sitting next to him.

"So, what do you want to do after we visit your dad?" I ask him.

"I don't know. Maybe walk around town. The mall. Park. Anywhere really." He says.

"Okay. Well now that you're done, let's go" I say taking his bowl and putting it in the sink.

I grab his hand and walk to my car. We get in and head to the hospital.

The ride was quiet, just like every time we go there. Zach becomes lost in his thoughts about his dad. I know he's thinking of his dad, because that sparkle in his eye he has when he talks to his dad, was there, but dull.

Zach's POV

When we got to the hospital, I took Jonah's hand and put it in mine. He made me feel safe, and I didn't feel safe here.

Yes it may be a place where they fix people, and make the better, but it could also be a place where people die. All I could think about is 'what if my dad dies?' Who would I stay with?

"Zay? We're here." Jonah says. I look up and see we're standing out side my dads door. I didn't even realize I went on the elevator.

I open the door and see my dad laying still. The tubes and wires still attached to him. His heart rate looks normal, but he isn't breathing in his own. They have something hooked up to him to help him breathe.

"Mr. Herron?" Someone says snapping me out of my thoughts. I turn around to be faced with a doctor.

"Yes?" I ask him. He looks over his papers in a clipboard.

"Your father can't breathe in his own, but other than that, he is stable. Our tests show that once he breathes on his own, that should be a sign he should wake up hopefully within the next few weeks after that." The doctor says.

"Okay thank you." I say with a smile on my face. He's going to be okay.

Him and Jonah exchange few words, and he leaves.

"Jo. He's going to be okay" I say smiling and crying.

"Why are you crying?" Jonah asks concern laced in his voice.

"They're happy tears. He's going to be okay" I say smiling more and laughing a little.

"Yeah. He's going to be just fine." Jonah says hugging me rocking back and forth.

We stay at the hospital for a hour or so longer before we head out.

"Did I ever tell you that you look so fucking sexy today?" He says grabbing my hand and I look into his beautiful eyes as we sat in the parked car.

I just smile and blush.

"Did I ever tell you that your so fucking hot everyday?" I say to him. I can see a faint blush rise to his face.

I lean in and so does he, and we kiss. It was slow but passionate. God, I love my lips on his.

We pull away from the kiss and he starts the car after he pecks me on the lips and gives me a smile.

"Where to princess?" he asks. I blush at the nickname.

"The park. The one by school. I want to hang out with the boys when they get out of school" I say.

"You're fine wearing that to school? You don't care?" He asks. I can tell he wants to make sure I'm fine with it, because after all I kept the girl clothes secret from everyone.

"Yeah, honestly I don't care anymore. I like wearing these clothes, and I want to wear them more often, and if that means getting teased and shit I'm fine with it. It's my body and my choice, so if they have a problem with it, they can go fuck themselves." I say.

"And this is why I love you" He says smiling. I can tell he wants to look at me, but he's staying focused on the road.

"I love you too Jobear" I say. I grab his right hand that was sitting on the arm rest, and intertwined out hands.

We shortly arrived at the school, and there was still like half an hour left in school.

"By the way, my dad called us both in sick." Jonah said to me. I just nodded my head signaling that I heard him. We got out of the car, and walked to the benches that were outside and to the side of the school.

Then, out of nowhere, Jonah grabs both of my hands and turns to face me, so I turn to face him.

"Listen, I'm not good at romantic gestures, but I love you so so much. I love how when you smile that amazing smile your dimples show, I love how you don't care what people will think of you. I love your spunky personality, how you are so lazy and then five seconds later you're hyper. I love you so much. I love you for you, and not your money. I don't care if you loose all your money because I'll still be by your side. I don't care if people give us weird looks in the halls or in public. I love you so so so much, so... will you Zachary Dean Herron be my boyfriend?" He says.

"Y-yes!" I say hugging him.

"I love you Jonah" I say muffled by his shirt because I'm hugging him.

"I love you too Zay. Always." He says. We pull apart and i peck him on the lips really quick.

"Just a peck really?" He asks.

"Wait for it..." I say. then, the bell rings along with students flooding out if the doors.
