BadZach-He Changed My Life

Chapter 4

*2 am*

I was in my bed comfortably, but then I heard a banging on my door. I was scared to answer it, so I gabbed the bat beside my bed that my mom had gave to be to protect myself.

I carefully walked downstairs and went to the door. I stretched to look out the peep hole (Im short. lol) I then saw it was just Zach, he had 3 bags with him and he had a black eye. 'What?' I say to myself in my head. I opened the door, "WHAT HAPPENED?!" I said, pulling him inside my house.

We sat on my couch "My mom!" he said angrily. "What the fuck? What did she do?" I asked, concerned. "She got mad that you stayed over too late, and then they whole argument turned into something else. " he began "We started talking about some things I did in the past, and I called he bad mother. As soon as those words left my mouth, I instantly regretted. Not because it's not true, but because I knew she would get extremely mad. She get a frying pan out of the cabinet and  and just straight up threw it at me." he said, looking down at the ground. "Oh my goodness! Are you okay?!" I asked patting his back, while getting closer to take a better look at the swollen eye. "Yeah" he said clearly not meaning "I just don't want to go back, so I was hoping I could stay here with you for a while?" he said. I smiled, "Yes, of course. Make yourself at home." his face lit up, "I was afraid you'd say no! Thank you so much!" "No problem." I replied getting up, "I'm going to back to bed, goodnight." I said.

"Goodnight!" I heard him say, before I walked upstairs.

7:00 that day

I got up, and got dressed. Just a casual adidas crop top and sweat pants. I walked downstairs to see Zach sitting at my kitchen island on his laptop.

"What's up?" I said, he immediately looked back. I saw tears streaming down his face, I looked on the lap top and saw he was looking at videos of him and his grandmother when he was younger. I shut his laptop for him and pulled him over to the couch. We sat down and I gave him a huge hug for comfort.

The reason for this hug is because I knew it would make him feel better. When I was depressed because of my mother being sick, I had no one to hold me like this. Because my mother was always throwing up, or in bed asleep. Plus, she always told me to be strong for her, so I would never let her see me depressed.

After a good ten minutes, of us cuddling (as friends) on the couch. I finally broke the silence. "Hey, want do go get some breakfast?" I asked him. "Sure!" He jumps up. "Damn, that's the most excited I've ever seen you!" I laugh. He shrugs "I like food." He states.

We arrive to IHOP, and as we were walking in, I spotted two girls looking at Zach. They were whispering and it almost looked like they were fangirling.

Confused I turned to Zach to ask him why the were so hype about seeing him. "Let's go!" He pulled my arm into ihop ask fast as he could.

We found a area to sit, all the way in the back, farthest from the doorway. We take our seats and started grabbing the menu as if nothing just happened.

"Um..?" I say, questioningly. He looked up from the menu, "yeah?" He says, sarcastically. "What the fuck was that?" I said, in a 'duh' voice. "Ugh.." He began " They're my - *cough* fans" He mumbled. " They're what?" I said with confusion. "Ugh- They're my fans" He said clearly this time.

I looked at him confused. "You see, until about a week ago, when my grandma died, I ran a YouTube channel, called BadZach." He began, "with over 1 million subscribers." My eyes widened. "No fucking way!" I said in excitement. "Why did you quit?" I asked him.

"They pain of the only person that I felt truly loved passing away was too much to handle. I got to where I couldn't even put on a fake face for the camera or anything. So I had to call it all off. I disabled my channel, my instagram, Twitter, YouNow, -everything." He said with a single tear rolling down is cheek. I grabbed his hand and looked him in the eye. "I am so, so sorry, Zach." I said.

After we got home from iHop, I decided to text my only other friend besides Zach, Alyson.

I decided to call this bitch .
I FaceTimed her and he answered in three rings. She was in bed and she had messy hair, she appeared to have no clothes on. "H-hey." She said out of breath. "W-why'd you call?" She asked with a guilty look on her face.
"Well, I was going to see if you could" - I got cut off by a guy in the back talking "Hey babe, are these.." she cut him off my talking over him. "SHH! Get out!" She said, loudly. The guy's voice sounded like my ex boyfriend, Mark. "What? Why?" He said, plopping down next her on her bed. I still couldn't make out who it was though. "OH SHIT!" He said getting up from her bed. I'm guessing he saw the phone. That is DEFINITELY 100% Mark.

My blood started to boil. "WHO THE FUCK IS THAT?!?" I questioned loudly. "What? What are you talking about? No one is here!?" She said even more guilty than the last sentence she said to me.

I felt a tear drop run down my face, "is that mark?" Asked as quietly and calmly as I possibly could.

He face turned red, then the called shut off. She hung up. At this point, I was broke down in tears.

I then heard Zach sit down next to me on my bed. He gently rubbed my back, "Are you okay?" He asked me. "I heard everything" he said, with sympathy in his voice.

I jumped up and gave him a huge hug, of course he hugged back. "The sad thing is, Mark and I were just on a 'Break'." The tears came down even harder, "it's okay, he spoke in my ear. You will be okay. You will find someone, so much better than him." He said rocking me back and fourth him is arm, trying to comfort me.

I thought to myself  'I think I already have.'

Am I started to catch feelings for Zach?!
