The High School Dropout - Zach Herron

Chapter 30

When i walked in i froze. The bed was the same as the night we left it. The blood was still there.

My legs were too weak to hold myself and i fell on the floor. Zach probably heard me falling and ran up the stairs.

"Alexia? What happene- oh" He saw the bed too and sat next to me.

"I'll clean that up, and we'll get a new bed okay?" He hugged me.

"I can't be-believe we lo-lost our baby..." I cried.

"That we lost this one doesn't mean we will never have one. Whenever you're ready we can try to have a new baby." He said.

"I already had a name in my mind if it was a girl..." I said.

"Tell me." Zach said.

"Amber... I read it in a book once." I cried even harder.

"That's a beautiful name..." Zach started to cry too.

"Guys come here." We heard a voice behind us.

"We'll clean this up for you." We turned around and we saw Jonah, Jack, Corbyn, Daniel, Kay, Tate, Gabbie, Angi, Aliyah and Christina standing with a new mattress and other things for on the bed.

Christina and Kay helped me get up and Daniel and Jack helped Zach. They took us to the couch in the living room. And went back to our room. Zach and i were cuddling and crying on the couch.

"Are we ever gonna get over this?" I asked Zach.

"It doesn't seem like it at the moment, but i promise you we will." He answered.

After a while the boys and girls came downstairs.

"Daniel, Gabbie and i are gonna get fold for all of us, do you want something?" Angi asked.

"I would like a pizza." I said and looked at Zach.

"We'll share one pizza." He looked at me and i nodded in agreement. I'm too depressed to eat a whole pizza.

Angi nodded and walked away with Daniel and Gabbie.

Jack Sat on a chair, Jonah and Tate were cuddling on a chair, and Corbyn and Christina took a whole couch just like i did with Zach.

Angi, Daniel and Gabbie came back with plastic bags and pizza boxes.

Gabbie gave a chipotle bag to Jack, Tate, Jonah and Daniel. Angi gave a pizza to Christina, Corbyn, Kay, Aliyah, Zach, Gabbie and herself.

Zach gave a slice to me and grabbed one for himself. I took one bite, but i couldn't even swallow one bite.

"I'm sorry i can't do this." I put the slice back in the box and stood up. I walked to the garbage can and spit out the small piece of pizza i had in my mouth. Zach followed me.

"What's wrong?" He put his hand on my shoulder.

"I- i just can't do this." I cried.

"Can't do what?" Zach was confused.

"Anything. I'm gonna go to bed..." I kissed Zach on his cheek and walked away.

Zach went back to the living room. I heard him say something and he followed me to the bedroom.

"I'm not gonna leave you alone." He said while sitting on the bed.

"Zach please, i need some time alone." I said.

"I promised you i would always be there for you. I know you need me and i need you." He wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close to him. I sobbed in his chest.

After a while Zach fell asleep. I slowly unwrapped myself from him and stood up. The house was silent. I guess everybody went to bed. I sat on the couch and turned on the tv. After some random show the news came.

"Today we're going to talk about something we normally don't talk about. If you know the band Why Don't We this could be interesting for you." The news guy said. They showed a few pictures of the boys and then a few of Zach and me when i was pregnant.

"Some fans did a lot of research and came to us with it. Before we tell you what we think that is going on, we are NOT sure if this is real!" The guy said.

"A few fans saw Alexia rushing to the hospital with the boys. She was crying and so was Zach. The fans checked the hospital every day. After 2 days Alexia went back home. The fans noticed her belly was thinner then the day she came to the hospital. After that they did research. You can have a miscarriage under the 20th week. The fans think Alexia was pregnant for around the 16 and 17 weeks." The news guy showed pictures of me being a mess at the hospital. I can't believe they can show that without my permission.

"We think Alexia had a miscarriage..." The news guy said slowly.

Why would they say this. They aren't even sure. It's true but nobody knows that. Shouldn't they be telling things that are 100% sure?! And why are they even saying this in the middle of the night?

"ZACH!" I screamed.

"What?!" Zach ran downstairs with everybody else behind him.

I ran into his arms.

"Th- the news..." I pointed at the tv.

Everybody went to the tv. Zach put the news to the beginning.

While they were watching i was hiding my face in Zach's chest. I couldn't watch this again.

When it ended everybody was speechless.

"I'm gonna make some calls." Jonah stood up.

"Me too." Corbyn followed him.

"Alexia, everything's gonna be fine." Zach also started to cry.

"They can't do this!" I was mad and sad.

"Jonah and Corbyn are taking care of it. It's gonna be ok." Zach hugged me tight.

After Jonah and Corbyn made some calls they came back to the living room.

"We're going to the news studio in the morning. If you want you all can come." Jonah said.

"Let me come with you..." I said to Zach.

"Are you sure you can handle that?" Zach asked concerned.

"I'll be fine." I faked a smile.

Everybody went back to bed including me. I just looked at Zach while he was sleeping.
