Worth it.

Chapter four

Kc's POV
Zion walked towards me. I was nervous. He's probably going to kick me out.
"Can we talk?" He says.
"Yeah, I think we should" I say following him up to his room.
"How much of that did you hear?" He asks me as we sit on his bed.
"Just that those guys think that you shouldn't have brought me home" I say looking down at my feet. Once again people don't want me. I was being rejected again, but what's new?
"Okay, I've got a lot of explaining to do" He gets comfortable next to me and begins. "Those guys are Brandon and Nick, they are 2 out of the 4 guys I live with. The other 2 are Austin and Edwin. We are in a boy band" I make a face at him. He laughs. "We'll talk about that later. Anyways I had to tell them that we hooked up because I thought you weren't comfortable with me telling them that I- um..." he looked uncomfortable saying it.
"Saved me?" I say. "Look what I did- or at least what I tried to do last night was something that I didn't mean to do. I was just trying to balance on the ledge and I almost fell" I lied. I didn't want to seem like a mentally insane person who would try to commit suicide. He looks at me, then gets up and closes the door.
"You don't have to lie. I know what you were trying to do, I get it, my aunt took her own life when I was younger so I understand it. You don't have to tell me what was going on or why you did it, but just know that I am here, you can stay here as long as you want. Okay?"
"Okay" I say looking at him. He gets up and starts to walk out the door.
"Zion" I say. He turns around. "You're right, and I'm thankful for you. I wouldn't be sitting here if It wasn't for you. Thank you, I truly cannot thank you enough" He walks back next to me.
"Just promise me" he said. "You won't go back there? No matter how hard it gets" He sticks out his pinky.
"I promise" I pinky promise him.
"Kc" I blurt out.
"What?" He replies.
"Kc. Thats my name"
"Kc. Pretty name" he said as he walked out. I laid down on the bed and I fall asleep.
Zion's POV
I left Kc's room and went down to the kitchen. I see Edwin making breakfast.
"You wanna talk?" He says mixing pancake batter in a bowl. "Zion, what happened? I saw how upset you were last night and now Nick is telling me you brought a girl home last night? This isn't like you Z" I look at him. Edwin is my best friend. I'm the closest to him out of all the boys.
"Edwin. I didn't hook up with her"
"What is she doing in your bed then Z?"
"I saved her" he puts down the bowl and looks at me confused. "Last night Sammi had came with her boyfriend. I was heartbroken, I told her how I felt and she rejected me. So I needed some time to think. I went to the roof of the building, you know the place you showed me?" He nods. "Someone was up there. She was going to jump, Edwin. I had to save her. She had no place to go, so I just thought she could stay here, but now Nick is making a really big deal about it"
Edwin gives me a shocked look.
"You did the right thing Z" a voice behind me said.
