Victoria's POV
My best friend Zach and I have been best friends basically since birth, our moms were best friends and were pregnant at the same time. I'm only 5 hours and 22 minutes younger than Zach, but he still teases me about being younger. I live with Zach and his band, but his annoying girlfriend also lives here. Her name is Aspen (a/n no hate on Aspen, she's literally such an amazing person but I just need her to play a bad part for this) and she's always trying to take Zach away from me. I think Aspen knows I have a crush on Zach so she always brags when I'm around by kissing or cuddling with Zach. I hate her so much.
I watched as Aspen smirked at me then kissed Zach, I grunted at her and rolled my eyes.
I went back to looking at my phone and sighed, I don't have a chance with Zach.
"Hey babe, I'm going to go out to get a few things, I'll be back in an hour or so," Aspen told Zach.
"Ok, be safe, I love you," he said then pecked her lips. Aspen smirked at me as she left the house, I rolled my eyes.
I started to get up from the couch but Zach called my name.
"Yeah? What's up?" I asked as I faced Zach.
"Why are you such a bitch to Aspen?" he asked rudely.
"So I'm the bitch here? I'm not the one taking away someone's best friend and bragging in their face that they like me more," I said, a few tears forming.
"She doesn't take me from you and you know it," Zach said firmly.
"Then why haven't we hung out alone for the past 4 months? Why haven't we gone to the beach and gotten ice cream together like we used to? Why Zach?" I asked as a few tears fell. "Why have you been so distant?"
"I haven't been distant," he said loudly.
"Then why haven't you noticed that I fucking love you?" I asked.
"You what?" He whispered in shock.
"I love you Zach, but you've been to distracted with Aspen to realize," I said then ran upstairs crying.
I ran into my room and closed the door then I flopped onto my bed and sobbed into my pillow.
*1 hour later*
I was still crying into my pillow before I heard a knock on my door.
"Victoria?" Zach said quietly from the other side of the door.
"Go away Zach," I cried.
"Can I come in please?" he asked desperately.
"No," I answered. There was no response, then the door opened and Zach walked in. He sat on the bed beside me and rubbed my back gently.
"Victoria, I'm so sorry. I realize now that I've been distant, and I do realize that Aspen takes me away from you, I'm sorry," he said gently. I sat up and looked at him. "I don't expect you to forgive me, but I really am sorry."
I didn't say anything, I just hugged him tightly. He held me tightly and rubbed my back gently. "I'm so sorry," he whispered in my ear. I could tell he was crying.
"How can I stay mad at my best friend?" I asked with a small laugh. I hugged him tighter and laid my head on his shoulder.
A few minutes later I heard a gasp, I pulled away from the hug and looked at a shocked and mad Aspen.
"What the hell is this?" She shouted at Zach.
"It's a hug Aspen, get over it," I said bluntly.
"Why are YOU with MY boyfriend?" She asked.
"You know? You're not the only girl in the world, literally nothing evolves around you," I said with an evil smirk. Zach smiled proudly at me but then his smile disappeared when Aspen looked at him.
"You know what, we're over Zach, have fun," Aspen said madly then stormed out. I looked at Zach apologetically but he just smiled at me.
"Well that was easy," he said with a laugh.
"What?" I asked confused.
"Breaking up with her," he replied. I laughed and he smiled wider.
"Also, about the whole in love with you thing, could we just forget about it?" I asked awkwardly.
"No," he replied. I looked at him confused but he just smiled. "Because I love you too Victoria."
I smiled at him and he gently held my hands in his. "Will you be mine?"
"Of course," I answered. I hugged him tightly and put my head into his neck, he put his head into my neck and gently rubbed my back.
