Chapter 6

Zach pov

Conner lead me to are old coffee house we went to all the time.

Walking in I was hit with the smell of fresh brewed coffee.

Conner lead me to a nearby couch by a large window.

We both collapse onto the couch Conner finally removeing his hand awkwardly.

My hand was craving his touch but I didn't want things to be awkward so I just sat quietly.

Conners face lightened with excitement and he rummaged through his sactual for a minite to pull out a digital camera.

He held the camera up above are heads and we both make a funny face before he hits the button.

He took out the picture and shook it.

"It will be a minite" he reassured

Grabbing the camera I point it at Conner.

"Pose for me darling" I say dramatically.

Conner smiled widely and stood up posing with a hand on his hip and made a duck face.

Snapping the picture I take out the picture and set it next to the other one.

Conner grabbed back the camera.

"Your turn!, strick a pose" he said excitedly

For my pose I cross my legs and rest my arm on my knee and look of dramatically pouting out my lip.

Conner hit the button glancing at him he was smiling widely.

Man was his smile contagious. I can't  help but to smile back.

After we took alot more dramatic photos Conner then shoved the camera back into his bag.

Grabbing the first photo I smile at how silly we look before putting the photo in  my back pocket.

"Where to next on are adventure?" I ask resting my hand on my face leaning on the back of the couch.

"What about a party?" Conner said raking a hand through his hair with a
cheeky smile.

Conner and me walked to the party Conner talked about.

The party was in the woods music echoing off the trees and people were dancing to the loud music alot of them had painted neon colors onto their bare skin.

Conner grabbed my hand again and pushed past people to get to the edge of the party.

"Stay here" he instructed before wandering off.

When Connor left a petitte girl walked over she had a neon yellow sun painted on her neck.

She smiled up at Connor and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear.

"What's your name?" She asked licking her dry lips.

"Zach"

"Well Zach do you want to get out of here?"

Connor returned with two beer bottles and the stranger took one opened it against a tree and chugged.

Conner handed me the other bottle a cheeky smile plastered on his face.

Grabbing Connors hand I could see in the bright lights that he was blushing.

Dragging him on the dance floor I let go of his hand and start to sway to the song.

Connor was awkardly standing looking at me for help.

"Your fine" I reassured

He nodded stiffly and started to sway.

After a couple of songs and drinks Conner disappeared somewhere In the crowd.

I decided to walk home but stopped remembering my mother's harsh words she shouted not knowing I was there.

What else would she say if she didn't get interrupted.

I start walking. Don't know where. Just started walking.

Mom left after dinner to be early for her plane.

Looking at the digital clock that was attached to the oven it read 9:30.

A knock on the door got my attention and I opened the door to see my best friend.

Zach pushed past me and walked in plopping on the couch.

"Zach, Where have you been you had me worried sick!" I spat

"Sorry" he replyed nonchalantly.

He was diffrent. Not the good kind either.

"Are you okay?" I ask plopping next to him.

"Never better" he huffed in a dreamlike state.

Then I smelled it alcohol covered his breath heavily.

"Are you drunk?"

"Nooo" he slurred.

That concluded my answer.

"Can I stay here for a few nights!" He shouted suddenly making my ear drums hurt.

"Sure" I muttered standing up to rummage the fridge.

Grabbing a water I walk back and hand it to Zach.

He gladly took it and chugged half the bottle and nearly throwing up.

"It's late" I stated

"Is it?"

"Yes, and you need your rest" I say in a motherly tone.

"Nunight"

"Night Zachary"

I turn off all the downstairs lights as Zach quickly fell asleep. Grabbing the nearest blanket I put it on Zach's unconscious body.

I walk upstairs in the dark and I rummage around and finally find my room.

Opening my dresser drawers I grab the first article of clothing in sight and put them on before falling onto my bed exhaustedly. Curling myself into the comforter I stare blankly at my dark room suddenly the room got darker and sleep consumes me.
