The Herron twins /// book 1 // completed

Chapter 24

Lauren's Pov
After zach came out to me I knew it was because of his feelings towards Jack.

I do ship them a lot, they look cute together.

But I am worried for Z

How will or is jack going to react and what will dad say?

I know mom will take it in her stride, that's the kind of thing she does, she's the best.
My dad on the other hand, who I do love dearly, he is very strict and has his set rules. He is religious which is why he doesn't like homosexuality. He says it's against the bible because 'it was Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve!'

I groan as i hear his voice yelling at us in my head. For now I need to brush it off and focus. This bed ain't gonna build itself

"Hey baby" Daniel said as he walked in smiling

"Hey dani" I smiled

"You need any help?" He laughed

"Umm Yeah" I smiled "please"

Together we managed to get it built within the hour, everything else we got too.

My room looked so good, I was genuinely so happy with how it turned out.

"Thanks for the help Daniel" I smiled hugging him

"You more than welcome" he said hugging me back

Daniel went downstairs to go do some school work with zach

I started hanging up some photos and I put my music on shuffle listening to all t feel good tunes, honestly I've been in such a good mood

I got a knock at my door, it was soft at first so I thought it was something falling but then i heard it again

"Someone there?" I asked Turing down my music

"Umm yeah, it's me...jack"

"Come in buddy, everything alright?"

"Well I was wondering if we could like talk...zach told me your an amazing person so talk to for advice and I've had something on my mind lately I wanna talk about"

"Awww Zach's the best, come over here" I said patting the bed next to me "what's up?"

"I mean this is crazy, I trust you, I met you less than a month ago but the way zach talks about you, I feel like I've always known you...sorry that was weird" he awkwardly smiled "Well basically, zach told me you helped him a lot like you gave him loads of advice and stuff" I nodded, it wand unusual for zach to ask my for help "well I was wondering if I could talk to you about something?" Jack repeated as if he thought I would change my mind

"Of course Jack, what's up" I smiled

"Well I don't know, and that's the problem, I've never..like ever really said this to anyone before but I can't sleep and I'm sick of it keeping me up every night and every day, I just...I.."

"It's okay bud take your time" I spoke softly

"Well last year, when I was 15 I had my first girlfriend, then after a couple weeks we broke up. I got another one and I just didn't feel anything at all, like I didn't really even crush on them. It just..it just happened, then I got in a pretty serious relationship and still didn't really feel a spark, but then I...i met this guy, he was amazing he was everything and I felt something....e-e-even tho there was nothing that happened I felt something and I just don't know. I'm scared Lauren, I'm scared" he laid back on my bed

"Jack I don't want to be the one to tell you this but I think your gay, and you know what that's amazing, your you and nothing can stop you" I looked over at him smiling

"I-I-I I cant be gay, I'm not...I just I can..can't" he started crying softly.

"Hey hey hey it's okay, look at me bud, it's okay" at this point he has sat up and I hugged him. And I hugged him hard

"Thank you Lauren" he said smiling

"It's no problem Jack it's really not" I smiled

We hugged again this time I yawned and slowly closed my eyes feeling everything fading away as I drifted into a deep slumber.

I was woken by laughing and he sound of people taking photos, I look up and see that it's my brother, Jonah, corbyn and Daniel, All stood over my bed with there phones. Daniel was glaring at me he looked destroyed I tried to get up to talk to him but jack had his arm around me and I couldn't move
"Daniel Wait" I said tears staring to form in my eyes
"Save it Lauren. Don't talk to me" he spat and ran out the room

Zach finally saw what he thought was the truth and suddenly glared at me and gave me that look.
He knows that I figured out he likes zach. I feel like the worst person ever.

"What am I doing up here?" Jack asked confused as the boys all suddenly started at me and leaving  "oh yeah I spoke to you last ni...please don't tell anyone" he begged in a whisper

"Jack don't worry it's safe with me, besides that's your place to tell them not me" I said crying but hiding it from jack as I got up and walked to wards my window

"thank you for understanding that I'm not ready to come out to the guys yet"  he said hugging me and walking out

I am the worst person ever.

How am I going to fix this.

Everyone is going to hate me unless I tell them what happened but I couldn't risk telling jack's secret plus, Daniel and Zach especially are not going to want to talk to me. 

I feel awful.
