Sweet As Sugar (BxB) [COMPLETED]

Chapter Twenty-nine:

Zach's POV:

Brian :heart emoji: "hey, can we talk? I can come and pick you up to school if you want"

This is the message I woke up to this morning.

Honestly, looking at it made me think I was still dreaming.

A month.

A whole month.

He hasn't been speaking to me for so long,

So what has changed?

Why is he so eager to talk to me?

Did he miss me as I missed him?

Olivia was right.

I can't let him in again so quickly.

Not after all he has done to me.

I'm not going through that ever again.

So I just ignored his message.

---------------------------------

"everything alright? You haven't touched your plate" Dad asked at breakfast.

"yep, I'm just tired" I moved my plate to the center of the table.

"I know you are, you've been working a lot more ever since Brian decided to take a break from the bakery. Is he doing well at school at least? That's why he wanted to the break"

How should I know how he's doing?

Why would I care anyway?

He fucked it up. Not me. I did nothing.

"knock knock, earth to Zach, are you still here?" Dad waved his hand in front of my face.

"what? Yeah, I'm still here... he's doing fine, I guess"

"you guess? I thought you two are best friends, did he took a break from you as well?"

"well, I guess you can call it a break"

"don't be mad. I'm sure it wasn't easy balancing school, work and being of the football team" Dad said in empathy.

I just nodded.

I don't care if he had a hard time.

I had it harder.

Brian :heart emoji "guess you're busy. Can we catch up later today? Maybe at lunch?"
