CHAPTER 16// ZOE & JONNY

//ZOE//

2 weeks had passed since my mother's death, the burial of my mother's death was scheduled for today, but Zack said she was going to take me out to dinner afterwards. He said he had a special surprise for me, I just hope it was good.

*

Zack and I get ready and make our way to the burial, when we get there we see that Scott and Jonny are there also. The coffin starts to get lowered down into the ground. I place a red rose on top of it as it is lowered down. I don't feel any pain. Or any sadness. Only guilt, I wish that I could've helped my mother to become a better person. To stop drinking, to stop sleeping around with men, but it's too late. After the burial, we all head off to Jonny's place, he makes us some coffees and we sit around and talk.
"Are you going to miss her?" Scott asks.
"There will probably be some days where I will and some days where I won't. I defiantly won't miss getting beaten though, at least that is over," I say. We spend the rest of the afternoon just talking until it is 5:30pm.
"We would love to stay for longer, but Zoe and I have dinner plans tonight at Positano's." Zack says and stand up. "See you guys soon," and he shakes Scott and Jonny's hand.
"Bye guys," I say and hug them both.
"Good bye," they say as we walk out.
Once we are out of the apartment building, Zack drives us down to Positano's.

"This pizza is delicious," he says taking another bite.
"You have a little sauce on your cheek," I say grabbing the napkin and wiping it of him.
"How's your meal?" he asks.
"Great, everything is great. This whole turned out amazing, thankyou Zack," I say and he smiles.
The waitress comes and takes our food once we have finished, she then brings a bottle of wine.
"Courtesy of the chef," she says and walks off.
"Oo, looks nice," Zack says and opens it up, he pours two glasses and we each pick them up.
"Cheers," he says.
"Cheers," I say and we clink our glasses. But before I can take a sip of the wine, Zack stops me.
"WAIT!" he says. "There's something in your drink," He grabs a fork and gets out whatever was in my drink; I don't see what it as because it quickly cleans it in a napkin. Then all of a sudden he gets on one knee. My heart skips a beat.
"Zoe Parker, you are the love of my life and I ant to spend eternity with you. Will you marry me?" he proposes. I grab him by the waist and wrap my arms around his neck.
"Of course," I say and kiss him. He places the ring on my finger and we kiss again.
"We're getting married!" he screams out, I didn't realise everyone in the restaurant was watching us, they start clapping. Tears of joy come to my eyes.
"I love you so much," I say to him.
"I love you to," he says back.
We finish the night off with dessert and head home, once we get home we put on 'When Harry Met Sally' and spend the rest of the night watching that. Before the movie starts I text Jonny and tell him the good news.

TO: J BOY:

Hey guess what! Zack and I are getting married! He proposed at the restaurant and it was so romantic! Text back soon! Xx

I switch my phone off and lie on my now fiancé's chest, he presses play on the movie and enjoy the rest of the night watching it.

//JONNY//I hear my phone go off and stop my workout. I switch my phone on and go to the text messages, there is one from Zoe, my heart skips a beat. 

ZOE:

Hey guess what! Zack and I are getting married! He proposed at the restaurant and it was so romantic! Text back soon! Xx

I turn my phone off and place it on the table. I then turn to the punching bag and hit it as hard as I can. I keep hitting it and hitting it screaming.
How can this be happening?
I've loved her since I first laid eyes on her and now she is off marrying him! Zack, she's marrying Zack. I continue hitting the punching bag, until eventually I run out of energy. I crouch down and bury my head in my hands like a little child. The tears begin to fall down my cheeks. The sweat is dripping off of my forehead. I stand up and make my way out of the gym up to my bathroom. I strip down and step in the shower. The water pouring down the skin. I still can't believe she is getting married. And it isn't me. I don't know how I will be able to handle the wedding. I will just have to try stay strong, for her at least. After all, she is my best friend.
