Bus Stop||Zach Herron

18

Madison's POV *a week later*

I'm finally being released from the hospital today. Zach left a week ago and I have been absolutely miserable without him. I have messaged him, called him, left voice mails. Nothing back. I wouldn't be surprised if he blocked me. We are going up the road to the house when mom pulls into the Herron's driveway. "Mom why are we here" I ask, honestly about to burst into tears. Memories of the past year and a half flood back.

"Sweetheart you can't avoid them forever and maybe you can get some answers out of them" Mom says. Shes right I need answers but I can't go in there right now. I will break down. But mom drags me into the house anyway. There they are. Myta, Josh, Ryan, and Reese sitting on the couch. Reese runs over and hugs me bawling. Ryan eventually comes over and hugs me. Myta and Josh do too. "Have you heard from him?" Myta and I ask at the same time. He hasn't messaged his family either that is definitely not right. "No I haven't" I say. "I was hoping you had"

"No, none of us have" Myta says. Looking like shes about to burst into tears. Thats definitely not normal for him. We stay and talk to them for a bit before going home. I go to school the next day and everyone has questions but I ignore them all. And I become less and less like myself.

*TWO YEARS LATER*

Still Madison's POV

Over the past year a lot has changed. We got 2 more new students. Kylie and Emilee. They joined our friend group. I have become anti social and I am not myself at all. The Herron's got a hold of Zach who finished school online and I have not heard from him in a year. Myta, Josh, Ryan, and Reese moved to California to be with Zach a month after I got out of the hospital. Kassidy, Parker, and his friends were put in juvie for everything they did. I met Kayla and we became friends. I'm turning 18 in a 3 weeks. I'm a senior this year. Thats about all. Wait, also Zach and the boys blocked me on everything. So haven't talked to them. So yea, thats my life now.
