The Herron twins /// book 1 // completed

Chapter 36

Lauren's Pov
We landed in Dallas and my Mom was there waiting for us, along with a small group of about 8 or 9 fans with a sign welcoming us home

I ran up to my mom and hugged her "I've missed you so much"

"I've missed you too" she hugged back

"hey mom" Zach smiled hugging her to

"Hey mrs Herron" Daniel smiled trying to shake my moms hand but instead she just hugged him too

"Please call me Myta'' she smiled

"Dork" I whispered as he walked back over to me, he gave me a playful punch on my shoulder as we walked over to say hey to the fans

As we got into the car my mom asked "so how's LA been?"

"It's been so fun" I smiled

"I really enjoy it" Jack spoke up

"Me too" I smiled

"Same here" Daniel added

"So when we get back I've made us some food we can all eat together, but first can we surprise Ryan and Reese? I never told them you were coming back home" she grinned

"Yes!! Obviously" I grinned getting excited

We pulled up onto the driveway and mom walked in first being greeted by Reese who said "hey mommy" and hugged her

"Do you mind if I bring some guests over?" My mom asked Reece who had just been joined by Ryan at the door

"No" they both shrugged

I nodded at Zach "not even if it's us" we said walking in together and immediately being attacked with hugs

"ZACHY! LOZZY!! YOUR HERE" Reese yelled as she started crying "I've missed you soooooo much" she cried into my shoulder as I picked her up and carried her in

"Who's that?" She said pointing at Daniel and Jack

"This is Jack" zach smiled stepping towards him and was about to grab his hand till he realised he better tell them first

"And this is Daniel" I smiled "he's my boyfriend" I whispered into Reese's ear

"Weally??" She grinned

"Mhm" I smiled

"Yayayayay" she grinned

We all walked into the house and put our bags upstairs while Myta put the finishing touches on the meal I walked into Zach's room, Well currently zach and Jack's room, they were sharing and so were me and Daniel "when do you plan on telling?" I asked

"Not tonight, I'll do it tomorrow or the day after, but right now I godda keep it lowkey and actually be able to talk to mom and dad before anything happens" he sighed

"Good idea" I said "you wanna go to that restaurant for that thingy tomorrow morning for breakfast?" I smiled trying to lighten the mood

"Sounds good to me" he smiled

"Guyssss food is weadyyy" Reese shouted up the stairs

***next day***

I woke up the the soft snores of my beautiful boyfriend, I tried to sit up but it rendered impossible due to his sturdy grip around my body

"Dani" I whispered "Danniii" I shook him lightly causing him to flutter his eyes

"Morning baby" I smiled as he say up beside me

"What time is it?" He questioned stretching his arms out

"5:27" I replied as I checked my phone

"Why are we up?" He groaned

"I'm always up this early" I shrugged

"Again why?" He laughed softly

"I usually go for a little run, if my trainers are still here I might today, you want to join or you wanna go back to sleep" I laughed standing up and going to look for my trainers

"I'll come with you, I enjoy running, it will help wake me up too I guess" he laughed standing up beside me and rooting through his case to find suitable clothing

"Ready?" I ask twenty or so minutes later

"Yep, let's go" he smiled

I placed a note on the table and off we went on out morning run

Jack's Pov
I'm not going to lie. I haven't been this scared in a long long time.
I didn't sleep at all last night, I was to scared of closing my eyes due to all the thinking I was doing.

This is for Zach, for zach. I had to keep repeating to myself

you can do this
no you can't
yes you can
are you stupid go home while you still can
No I'm staying, For Zach.
Your making a mistake
No I'm not
Whatever you say, but who has been right this whole time? Me that's who
Once now shut up, I am staying
Your a brave one Jacko
I know I am.

I was currently laying on my back staring at the ceiling as I heard soft noises of distress so I turned and looked over to see Zach tossing and turning, drenched in sweat.
Suddenly his eyes flew open and his body shot up and he stared shaking
I took hold of his rocking him back and forth in my arms
"Shhh shhh shh it's okay baby, it was just a dream, I'm here, I got you it's all alright" I whispered as I ran one hand through the top of his hair while I had the other firmly round his waist
His hard heavy breathing was staring to slow down but skyward still poured from his eyes
"It's okay bub I got you, I got you" I whispered kissing his cheek "th...tha...tha...thank y..yo...you j-jack" he stuttered out as he snuggled closer towards me
"You okay now buddy? What happened?" I asked handing him a glass of water "bad dream?"

"I dreamt that we told my..my d...dad about us" he said between sips of the water "and he was really awful to you...he tried to hi..hit yo...you but I jumped in the way then he be...beat me up" zach took a big beep breath

"I will not ever let anything bad happen to you, I promise you Zach, as long as you have me, nothing bad can ever effect you" I smiled

"Thank you buba" he said lying back down and snuggling into my chest

"Your welcome, I love you" I smiled as I looked down to see that he had fallen back asleep lying on my chest. This is how it should be
