a/n: Here's Part 2 of Jack x Zach! Sorry it's a bit short!
Jacks POV
I hold my breath. I'm waiting. For what? For a time when I can be alone. Alone with my thoughts... with time to think about me. And about him.
I just can't fight it anymore! I know I want to be with him, but the world keeps us apart. Everywhere I go, I feel like I can't be myself in fear of judgement. Tears threaten to run down my face. No. I have to hold it in. Hold in my anger, sadness, joy, love. Glancing at Zach's face, I know that I have to have him. I can't stand it anymore. In the second I think that, I stand up and walk out of the room. I feel the others' eyes on me. They, of all people, can't know who I am. What I am.
I run down the hallway. I know I just ruined an interview, storming out in all, but at least it wasn't live. We can just re-do it another time.
Now I can hear someone coming up behind me.
"Wait!" a voice shouts. No. Not Zach. Of all the people to come to me right now. Not him. But when his hand lands on my shoulder, I turn around and show him the tears in my eyes. As much as I want to, I can't hide from him.
"Jack. Please. I need you. Just take my hand. Please!" he shouts. Oh no. People are staring. This is what I'm most scared of. The judgement, hatred, the hurt. It's all catching up to me. I can't outrun it anymore. I have to do this.
Now, even though I'm hesitant, I know that I need him in my life. So I grasp his hand. I hold it tight.
"Zach," I whisper. "Yes." I'll take his hand. I'll take his hand. I'll be strong through all this. For him.
Now his lips are inches from mine, and our intense stare is getting to be too much. I need to do this. I grab his face and pull him into a gentle kiss. This is us. This is who we are. What we are; we are together. And we'll stick together through whatever comes next. It may be hard at times, but Zach and I together feels like I can do anything. I love him.
