Zach❤️: Heather likes the video🥳

Edwin: She finally watched it????

Yes I did

Tay💗: Even I saw it before her and I'm in the hospital

Shut up Tay :/

Nick: Oh, Tay how are you doing by the way?

Tay💗: A lot better than I was, I get discharged tomorrow

Yayyyy we can all have a slumber party minus 3

Tay💗: I don't know if I will be able to do much because of my ankle, but I'm down for that

Zach❤️: And where will we sleep? Heather I know your mom likes me, but I'm sleeping in the guest room

I will talk to her about it

I hear a knock on my door and look up to see Zach. "Heather, where am I supposed to be when you talk to her?" He sits on my lounge chair on the other side of my room.

"Zach, it's literally a sleepover, I ask her and it's done," He doesn't reply and I try to read his facial expression to see what he's thinking, and it seems like he's going over 10 different scenarios in his head. "Zach, what are you doing? It's okay, are you still afraid of my mom?"

He sighed rather loudly which surprised me, he really is afraid of my mom. "I mean,—"

"Oh my gosh, you're still afraid of her, she has never done anything to you to make you afraid of her,"

"Yes, I know, but-" I cut him off because it doesn't make since why he is still afraid of my mom when everything has been good between them.

"She's been nothing short of good to you Zach,"

"Will you let me finish? She's your mom of course I'm afraid of her. She's your best friend, if I ever do anything wrong or unintentionally hurt your feelings, then I am instantly the bad guy and I don't want to be the bad guy, please understand that. Aren't you afraid to meet my mom?"

"Yeah, but that's because I don't know what she thinks of me, I have hurt you too many times and we've only been together for almost 3 months, and I didn't talk to you for a whole week, and I'm sure she could tell how bad I was hurting you, and oh my gosh the Luke thing," I wanted to cry so hard but I held it back the best I could. "She probably wanted to tell you what she felt, but she knew it would hurt your feelings so she didn't, I mean you shouldn't even be with me right now because," I watched his facial expression change drastically and he looks shocked. "I hurt you and then we're okay, then I hurt you again, it's a cycle and all of it is because of me," A tear rolled down my face and I wiped it away really fast in hopes I wouldn't break down. "And I don't know why you're still with me, because you don't deserve the way I'm treating you." More tears fell, but I wasn't going to give in and breakdown because I can't deal with that right now.

Zach got up and put his arm around me when he sat next to me. "Hey, I'm still with you because I love talking to you, our conversations are never dull, we can talk for 5 hours on the phone and we will always have something to talk about, you aren't boring and you never will be. I'm still with you because I love spending time with you, even if one of us is upset I still get to touch you, kiss you, hear your voice not through the phone and I am so thankful that I get that opportunity. Heather, I am still with you because I love you."
