Don't You Do That Again (Zack Merrick All Time Low)

Chapter 26

*Time Skip to the Day Before Zack Arrives*

*Larken's POV*

I haven't done much since Zack left. I have mostly have just watched Netflix and mope around. I know that isn't good for my health but oh well.

I have only self harmed about ten times. I know that's not good, but they are kind of deep.

The good news is that Zack will be home tomorrow and I will get to see him face to face instead of face to screen. I'm scared he is going to notice the mood change, or the cuts.

I don't want him to be angry with me. I know he will be. I'm so stupid. I should try to get my mind off of this. I could clean.

I put a random CD on and start the cleaning process. First our room and bathroom, then the kitchen and living room, and finally dusting every picture (which was a lot). It took me a long time but that's because I had to stop and sing the chorus of each song that came on.

I step back and admire my cleaning job. It's not that bad but it could be better. I guess this is the best i could do. I hope Zack likes a clean apartment.

It took me almost all day. I'm exhausted. Maybe I should go to bed so I can see Zack sooner.

*The Day Zack Arrives*

Zack is going to be home in a few hours. It doesn't seem real. Four months apart is all coming to an end less then a few hours. I can hug and kiss him. I can't wait.

I continue to pace and pace. My anxiety is starting up again. What if he is only coming back to tell me he doesn't love me anymore?

My thoughts are cut short when the front door swings open. The love of my life is standing there. I race toward him. I give him the biggest hug.

"I missed you so so much," Zack squeezes me, "I love you."

Tears comes to my eyes, "I can't believe you are finally home. I love you so so much."

Zack lets me go, "I've been thinking about this for a while and I've decided to do it."

I have no idea what he is talking about. What could it be? Is he leaving me?

Zack pulls something from his pocket and gets down on one knee.

"Lark, I know he haven't been together that long but I feel in my heart that you are the love of my life. You'd have to be. I have never felt this true feeling of love with anyone else. So, I'm asking if you will be my wife, my best friend forever, and put up with me for the rest of eternity. Will you marry me?"

I cry some more, "Of course I will."

He gets up and give me another hug. He slides the ring on my finger. It's absolutely gorgeous.
