the guy at the party

15.- leaving for Texas.

"Its five days Nick, chill." I said as I hugged him one last time before hoping in the car.
Zach sat in the drivers seat waiting for me to wrap things up.
"Nick, don't be a little bitch. Jk man I love you" Zach chuckled and Nick smirked at him. Nick opened his arms for one last hug.
I hugged Nick tight.
I pulled away, looked him in the eyes and said "dont miss me too much."
  Nick smiled as I hopped in the car, and stared blankly as we drove off.
"Ready?" Zach smiled over at me.
I smiled back.
"Always, baby" I said.
Zach was driving with one hand and holding mine in the other.
The radio was blasting throwback songs until we had reached the airport.
  We went through security and the usual airporty stuff and quickly found our seats.
"You sure about this?" Zach asked as he rested his head on my shoulder.
"Absolutely." I replied.
  We were on the plane for a good 5 hours,but I fell asleep so that's not much of a story to tell.
When he got off the plane, we found our exit and Apryl was already waiting for us.
"Oh my goodness, you're so beautiful!" She said as she pulled me into a big hug.
"Thanks mom, I try" Zach commented.
Apryl took my bags and walked
along side us to the car.
"You can put your bags in the back" She said as we hopped into the car.
  "So, Chloe, where are you from?" She asked as she turned a few corners.
"I'm originally from Miami, but I moved to L.A when I was 15. "I replied.
  We chatted amongst ourselves for the next 10 minutes until we pulled into their driveway.
We unloaded our bags and stored them in Zach's room.
Zach sat on the bed and motioned me to come sit by him.
  "What do you think so far?" He asked.
"Its amazing Zach. Really." I replied.
  Zach pulled me into a kiss.
Seconds later, Apryl appeared in the door way.
"Goodnight guys." She had said..
"Goodnight" we replied.
Zach shut the lights off and came to lay beside me. I cuddled up to his bare skin and I suddenly felt at home.
"Promise me something" I asked.
"Anything." Zach replied.
I smiled.
"That this is forever?" I asked.
"This is forever. I promise" Zach replied as he kissed my forehead..
