"Why-why would you do that to yourself Zach" Daniel asked, his voice full of concern.
"That's what you don't get, yes the ones on my arms were me, but these weren't" I say tracing the J.
"Who did that then" Daniel says, his face shifting to a slightly scared look.
"My ex" I say, the words ex and thinking of the past memories made me feel as if I was going to puke.
"And who-"
"Go ask sue"
"She's known him longer"(Narrators pov)
Sue came by a few hours later to drop of Zach's siblings and in the brief moment Daniel pulled her aside.
"Hey sue can we talk"
"About"
"Zach..."
"What did you do?"
"Not what I did....what did his ex do?" Her face fell at the question. Her stomach turned at the memories. She called a quick goodbye to Zach, Reese, and Ryan then pulled Daniel outside of the apartment complex.
"Let's go somewhere". With that sue and Daniel crawl into sues car and head to god knows where.
"Zach said it's okay for us to talk about this right"
"Of course".
The entirety of the ride was quiet. Sue stressed about the story soon to come and Daniel nervous about the story as well. Sue ends up pulling up to a small cafe in the less populous part of Portland.
"I haven't been in this part of town in forever" Daniel says taking in the vintage shops and small stores.
"This is where I used to go antiquing with your person of interest, not Zach"
"J?"
"Yea".
They enter the dainty cafe, and a older lady looks up from behind the counter, and immediately when her eyes met sues, her face lit up.
"Susie, you're back" the two are embraced in a hug.
"Hey Lois"
"Lemme get you some drinks, Sue do you want the hazelnut coffee with two sugar cubes and a teaspoon of caramel creamer"
"You still remember after these years"
"Of course, you were my favorite costumer, now for the tall boy, what would you like"
"Just a water thank you" Lois then nodded her head, and went to the kitchen to make the drinks. Sue lead Daniel to a booth where they both sat, still stressed and nervous.
"So".
"Yea".
"Oh boy".
"I know".~back at the apartment~
(Zach's pov)
I look in the mirror, over looking the scar.
"I'm still beautiful....right"
"...right?"
"......wrong...." I say as tears blur my vision.
"I hated him and I hate me, I guess it works" though I want it over, I want it all over.(Jehsbsbsb, life's been difficult and I'm about to make a book just about rants and my life cuz there's so much and I can't just summarise it. Ily all💛)
