Chapter Nineteen: Bad Dreams//Force of Habit

"Zach, what the fuck is that?" I asked, knowing the answer.

"Okay, I'm pretty sure you're not stupid, you know that that is." He said, standing up.

"Okay, now's not the time to be playing fucking games." I said, feeling all these emotions.

"Ha, funny you should say that because we went to the arcade today." He said, with a smug look on his face.

"Did you actually have sex?" I asked.

"I don't know, did I?" He said, raising his eyebrow.

"Zach, what has gotten into you?" I asked, my face becoming hot.

"Noah's dick." He said, as he walked upstairs.

"Okay, Zach, what the actual fuck? Come back here, now." I said, hearing him slam the door behind him.

Zach's P.O.V

I came upstairs and slammed my door before I could hear Trish say anything else. Trust me, I felt bad for what I said to her, but she kept prying. To cool off, I decided to text Noah.

Zach: i just had a huge fight with trish

I expected him to take a while to respond, but he responded right away.

Noah💖: what happened?

Zach: she found the wrapper and the unused one shes pretty pissed but she'll probably get over it soon. it made me pretty pissed too

Noah💖: aww im sorry are you ok?

Zach: uh i sorta wanna cut but idk

Noah💖: oh no dont do that, see i told you everything is my fault i ruin everything.

Zach: oh no no no no no its not your fault its just trish being a major bitch

Noah💖: she's just trying to look out for you..

Zach: so you agree with her? over me?

Noah💖: no, i just see where she's coming from. she just wants to help you, seeing that you're all shes got..

Zach: no you don't get to fucking say that, you dont know anything about my family.

Noah: no zach im sorry. thats not what i meant

Noah: zach? hello? please come back im sorry

I decided to not respond to Noah until I calmed down. What I said was mean, but it was somewhat true. I just wanted to start this day over. I laid in bed for what felt like hours and then finally drifted off to sleep. I would say 'peaceful sleep', but it wasn't. The nightmares were happening, but this time they were different.

'Zach.. Someone's here..' The demonic voices said.

'What are you talking about? Nobody else is supposed to be here.' I said, confused.

'Have a look for yourself.' It said, bringing a person inside. As the person came closer, I could see that it was Noah.

'What are you doing to him?' I asked, not being able to stand.

'Don't worry, little Noah is going bye-bye.' The voice said, just as a gun appeared mid-air.

'Stop!' I yelled. It was too late. Something pulled the trigger and Noah was dead.

I woke up in a cold sweat, looking around my room. It was pitch black. I knew it was a dream but decided to text Noah anyways.

Zach: hey are you ok? I glanced around my room, my eyes hitting the clock. It was 2:03 AM. Noah wouldn't be awake. But to my surprise, he was.

Noah: am i fucking ok? no im not fucking ok, your the one who said he wanted to cut and then just stopped texting me. ive been worried sick all night.

I didn't realize that'd he stayed up all night to just to make sure I was okay.

Zach: oh.. i fell asleep before i could respond

Lie.

Noah: how the fuck did you fall asleep while we were texting

Zach: after what you did to me i was exhausted so i just fell asleep. i slept good tho

Lie.

Noah: you didnt cut yourself right?

Zach: no

I thought about it.

Noah: thats good.

Zach: mhm

Zach: trish is dropping me off at your house tomrrow because she has a doctors appointment

Noah: sounds good

Zach: see ya then

Noah:  good night

Noah: love you

Zach: what?

Noah: sorry its a force of habit.

I felt my cheeks burn. I could tell they were red, even though it was dark and nobody was around.

Zach: anyways goodnight

Noah💖: gn

I smiled at my phone, re-reading our messages over and over. He didn't even mean to say it. What's wrong with me?

Noah's P.O.V

It wasn't force of habit.

A/N: sorry ive not been updating, i hit a bit of a wall, but im back and next chapter is gonna be great. have a nice day/night and remember that you're beautiful no matter what. 💙💙
