(Saturday)

I was waiting in the living room for my Dad. I was nervous to talk to him. What if I accidentally tell him about Zach. About ten minutes later there was a knock on the door. I opened it and there he was, smiling.
"You ready?" He asked and I nodded. I followed my Dad to his car and prayed today would go well. My Dad drove to this cafe he'd take me to when I was little. I haven't been there in years. When we got in the cafe he ordered what we would usually ordered when we came here.
"So, how's things been?" My Dad asked.
"Good, I guess," I said.
"I heard you have a boyfriend," My Dad said.
"Well it's complicated," I said and my phone lit up. Zach texted me.

"Y/N?" My Dad questioned

"Y/N?" My Dad questioned.
"That was Alli, Im gonna go to the bathroom," I said and got up. I went to the bathroom and called Zach.
"Hello?" I heard Zach's voice, he was crying.
"Zach, what's wrong?" I asked in a calming voice.
"I did something,"Zach said in a raspy
Voice.
"What did you do?" I asked,very worried.
"It all happened so fast,Im sorry,"Zach said and my heart sped up.
"Zach?" I questioned.
"I love you,"Zach said before hanging up the phone. I was freaking out, I had to go to him. So I ran out the the bathroom and went to my Dad.
"Dad, I have to go," I frantically said.
"Why, what's wrong?" He asked and got up.
"I'll explain later,can you drive me somewhere," I asked.
"Yes, of course," My Dad said and we went to his Car. I showed him how to get to the apartment complex Zach lived at. As soom as we got there I ran upstairs to the apartment and unlocked the door.
"Zach?" I frantically called out. No answer. I ran to the bedroom and he wasn't in there. Then I went to the bathroom. I heard crying.
"Zach?" I questioned and knocked.
"Zach, open the door,"I said and the door unlocked.
"Zach, what happened?" I asked and hugged him. He hugged back then looked at me with tears flowing down his face.
"Y/N,Im so sorry," Zach cried and I felt tears form in my eyes.
"What happened?" I questioned and Zach showed me his arms. There was blood flowing down them. I started crying and grabbed a towel.
"C'mon, we have to go to the hospital," I said and he shook his head.
"No, I don't deserve to live, I've hurt to many people," Zach cried.
"Zach, that is not true, I love you and I don't think I could ever live without you, so can we please go to the hospital," I cried.
"No,"Zach said.
"Zachary Dean Herron we are going to the hospital and Im not taking no as answer," I demanded and he took a deep breath.
"Fine,"Zach said and I helped him downstairs and into the back of My Dad's car.
"Dad,can you drive to the hospital?" I said and held Zach.
"Ok," he said and I kept looking at the towel on Zach's arm. It had more blood on it everytime I looked at it. Zach cried the entire ride and so did I.

(Hours later)
I was sitting on Zach's bed watching him sleep and questioning why he did it. My mom and Josh were in the cafe, getting me something to eat. My Dad left once they got here. I cried slightly
And they walked back in the room.
"How is he?" Josh asked and passed me some food from the cafe.
"Resting," I said and put the bag on the side table.
"How are you?," My mom asked.
"Confused,"I said and looked at his stitches again.
"Did you tell Joey and Alli what was going on?" My mom asked and I shook my head.
"We aren't speaking,"I said and Zach moved closer to me.
"I just don't understand why he did it, he seemed fine," I said and he started waking up.
"Zach?" I questioned and he looked at me with a sorry look.
"I love you," Zach said and I gave him a weak smile.
"I love you too," I said and layed with him. I snuggled up in his chest and he looked over at our parents.
"We're gonna leave," Josh said before our parents left.
