The next month, it got worse. Me and Zach were walking on the beach with Leigh when some fans came over. "Hi Zach!" One of them beamed. They took pictures and then asked who I was. "She's just a friend," Zach responded. I forced a smiled and waited for them to leave before I started walking ahead. "Now what's wrong?" He asked, sighing.
"Nothing. Let's just get home," I responded. When we got back, I went straight upstairs ignoring everyone. I decided to call Robin.
"What's up?" Robin questioned.
"Everything. Fans, Zach and life in general," I replied.
"Is it the fan thing again?"
"Yeah but I feel like it got worse. He called me just a friend," I explained.
"He's just keeping you safe," She commented. "No you don't get it. He thinks nothing is wrong and when he asks me what's wrong he's always annoyed or something," I commented.
"Talk to him and call me back. Tell me everything," She ordered. I agreed and ended the call. I went downstairs and Zach was playing on the PS4. "Zach, we need to talk," I demanded. Daniel and Jack sniggered. "Keep laughing you two. It's the funniest thing ever!" I laughed, sarcastically. Zach came upstairs with me and I shut the door.
"What's wrong?" Zach asked me.
"That's all you seem to ask me these days," I replied.
"Is this the fan thing again?" He questioned. "No just the fan thing. It's everything Zach," I sat down on the bed,"I want to continue my career but I can't."
"You can. No one is stopping you," He responded. "Something is! I'm scared that the microphone is gonna pick up your voice or you accidently come into the frame," I told him.
"Record at Robin's then."
"I feel bad on Robin. I go to her house everyday because I'm bored or I don't have to worry about being caught or anything!" I complained.
"You signed up to this though! You wanted to date me!" He argued.
"I did! I mean I still do! It's just hiding everything that stresses me out," I commented. "I don't know what to do if you won't tell me!" Zach shouted.
"Everything is wrong! Including this!" I screamed before storming out the room. As I ran downstairs, I saw Jack and Daniel looking at me. "Is everything-"
"No! Nothing is ok!"
The next month, I was sat upstairs when I heard Leigh crying downstairs and Zach was bothering. I groaned and got up to check her. When I got downstairs, Zach was just about to go check on her too. "You had one job, Zach," I sneered.
"We were outside!" He complained.
"Take her outside with you then," I told him as I picked her up. He went to say something but I took Leigh upstairs without a second glance.
Every now and again, we would have good days. "I love you so much," Zach smiled before kissing me. "I love you too," I smiled back. We would normally spend our days watching our favourite tv shows or with Leigh. "I'm glad we met," I commented. He kissed my cheek. "So am I. You and Leigh make me the happiest people alive," He replied. These days were the best. When we would just sit together and talk or plan the future. "You know I'm going to marry you, right?" Zach asked me.
"I want to marry you too," I responded. I was telling half the truth. I didn't want to marry him if we argued all the time, arguing sometimes was normal but we argued alot. I did want to marry him when he was like this. Caring, loving, honest and a good dad. He also apologized all the time for arguing and would promise to make things better. I loved him with all my heart but the arguing hurt me.
It was the month after that got to me. I came home to see Daniel and Zach were outside whilst Leigh was upstairs crying. I checked on her and went to see Zach. "Did you forget something?" I asked him. He left Daniel and came over to kiss me. "That's not it," I told him. He looked at me confused. "Does Leigh ring a bell?"
"I was just about to go check on her!" He lied. "Don't lie to me Zach. You were going to continue playing basketball or something with Daniel. You wanted to be a dad," I commented. "I do want to be a dad! But I'm still 18 and I have my whole life ahead of me still!" Zach shouted.
"All I wanted you to do was check on her every hour or so. Nothing to big!" I yelled. I saw Daniel looking uncomfortable. "I'm sorry Daniel that you have to witness this," I apologized. "I can take care of a baby! I'll go check on her right now!" Zach shouted. "No point now. She's already asleep. I need a break from all of this," I sighed.
"Go back to the UK then," He suggested. I looked at him shocked but decided that I would. "I hope you all have fun then. I might see you all later," I pretended to smile.
"I'm guessing we've broken up then?" Zach quizzed. "Maybe we should just take a break. See you all soon," I answered before going upstairs to pack.
