Zach's p.o.v.

I sat there dismally as the drizzly rain pattered around us. The old, battered bus stop was the only thing keeping me and Jack sheltered from the miserable grey weather.

Jack glanced over at me, a sympathetic look etched on to his face. I glared at him, before glancing away. He sighed, scooting closer to me.

"Look Zach, I've said I'm sorry, I've even bought you chocolates!" I gripped the open heart shaped box of chocolates tight in my lap. As he extended his hand to reach in for one, I slapped it away. "Exactly, you bought them for me, not for you.

He rubbed his hand, giving me a pout and puppy dog eyes. I wouldn't let his tricks work on me! I was a strong independent male who didn't need no man in his life! Well, I guess I needed Jack... quite a lot, actually. With a sigh of defeat, I slid the box of chocolates over to him. He grinned, picking out one of the chocolates. I thought back to what had happened in an attempt to decide what to do next.

Me and Jack had got on to the wrong plane, and ended up god knows where. A dreary place in England, full of greenery and people with weird accents. My phone wasn't in my carry over bag, and was with the other guys. Jack's phone was dead, and he didn't have a charger. Thinking about this, I spoke up.

"Hold on a second, what kind of person doesn't pack a phone charger!?" Jack looked down, shyly. "Daniel always packs it for me, he knows I forget stuff.." I paused for a moment. Daniel? He best not be trying to take my mans.

Except for the fact Jack isn't mine....

And never will be. 

Stuffing the lid on my chocolates, i shoved them in to my bag. Jack had a look of confusion upon his face. "Alright, come on" I said, standing and grabbing his hand. "Where are we going?" He asked, stumbling to stand up and following behind me at my quick pace. Well, half following half being pulled.

"Anywhere that's forward".

Guyssss! I'm sorry I haven't uploaded in a hot minute but I've been a lil' busy. I just wanted to get a lil' bit of an update going cause I've been wayy too M.I.A. But I'm so excited that the book is finally going to really start 'taking off' (ehehehe am I punny yet? Cause of the last chapter's title? No? Ok....)

Anyways, I just wanted to say that no matter what I will never abandon this book until the very day it's completed. Many times I used to think about it, thinking it had no impact on anyone and that it was pointless but the thing that really keeps me going and motivates me is all your comments! I absolutely love reading your comments, they make my day and make me want to work harder. You guys make me feel so appreciated whilst doing something I really love! Love you all ❤
