Best friends: Zach Herron

Chapter twenty

Your POV
You know what your gonna do. You can just get over him. It's not like he's the sweetest most perfect guy ever, who has always been there for you and cuddles you every night and makes you feel special. Fuck. Could he not be amazing it would be so much easier. You texted Jonah but you didn't know if you could fully trust him. There's a high chance he would just tell Zach but would that be the worst thing? You didn't want to scare Zach away. What if you brought him to the roof and told him your confused. You don't have the guts to do that. Him not being here is giving you too much time to think. You know what, if you  just tell yourself your over him then you will be. Your over him, yes totally over him.

"Y/N. I'm back." You hear Zach yell causing your heart to melt. Damm it. "Zach." You say as you hug him. "Did you miss me?" He asks you. "Not at all, your annoying." You say sarcastically. He nudges you as he sits down. You sit down next to him and holds you close to him. "I saw you texted Jonah." Zach says to you with a smirk. Jonah are you kidding me. "Uh yes." You mumble. "You needed to talk to him about me." He says as his voice shakes. "Yes just a surprise umm, gift for you but you ruined it so no need to talk to him anymore." You say as your stomach gets uneasy. "Oh okay." He mumbles. "I missed you." He says as he pulls you closer to him. You feel your stomach feel weird but not in a gross way. Like a giddy way.

"Roof." You say quickly. "What? Oh yeah sure." Zach says. You get up and Zach wraps his arms around your waist. You walk with him wrapped around you and you climb up the ladder. When you both get up there you sit next to him. Your legs were intertwined and he pulled you closer to him. "Why are we up here?" He asks you. You feel yourself get nervous. "I have to tell you something." You whisper. "You can tell me anything." He says as his face fills with worry. "Promise you won't get mad." You say to him. "Yeah I won't." He says as he rests his hand on your thigh and rubs it back and forth.

Just tell him. He's looking at you. He's so cute, shut up and tell him. His hand is making me wanna die, stop rubbing my thigh Zach! You can't tell him! Go! "I uh like someone." You mumble. He shifts uncomfortably. "Who?" He asks you. Say it's him. Come on just tell him. "Jonah." You say without realizing what you said. You and Zach both look confused. Why the hell would you say that your too dumb? Why? "Jonah?" Zach asks you confused. "No. I don't know why I said that I'm just really confused." You mumble as you put your head in your hands. "Hey look at me it's okay." Zach says as he rubs your back. He pulls you closer to him and holds you close. This isn't helping you get over him. Just say it now! You can't.

Zach's POV
As I held the girl I loved in my arms my mind was racing. She said she was confused. She said she liked someone but who? Could it be me? No way, or could it. Now I'm confused. I don't wanna push her to say anything but I need to know. She looks so perfect when she's flustered. Her hair was all messy and her face scrunched up in confusion. She popped her head up and her eyes were red. "I." She begins to say but I pull her closer. "I got you." I whisper. Little did I know this was only confusing her more.
