worlds colliding ; zach herron

16

it was the day we left canada and when i woke up zach was completely shirtless and i was just in my underwear and bra. gosh please tell me what i think happened didn't happen. my head hurt so bad. i took the sheets off so zach can wake up but he didn't wake up!

"ZACH WAKE UP!" i said

"what?" he groaned

"we have to leave" i put sweatpants on

"i don't get a good morning kiss?" he said

"no later!" i said as i put on one of zach's shirts

"no i wanted to wear that shirt today!" he said

"cmon please let me wear it" i said

he pulled me in front of him and kissed my lips

"fine anything for you!" he said

i started packing everything into my suitcase and i got myself ready

unknown number: hey sarah

me; who is this?

unknown number: it's mom

me: what do you want?

me: i don't want to talk to you!

me: don't forget you never wanted me

stephanie: come on! it's been four years

me; it's been 17 years since you didn't want me

me: i have better things to do!

stephanie: let's talk!

me: seen

i went outside and everyone else was outside

"you guys could've kept it a little quieter!" jonah chuckled

"huh?" i said

"you guys were way too loud!" he said

"wait what?" i said

"oh it was drunk sarah! she's the one that did things with drunk zach" he said

"o my gosh. wait was it that loud?" i whispered

"uh yes" he said

"o my gosh" i leaned against a wall

"what?" jonah asked

"i had slept with zach! i'm 17!" i said

"cmon you can't get pregnant the first time!" he said

"you are right! what was i thinking about" i laughed

we all went downstairs where fans were crowded around the door. i was really tired and my head hurt so much. the fans saw me and zach come out of the hotel together and no one said anything because zach was smiling and as i got onto the car i went on instagram and twitter and everyone was saying how happy they were that zach was actually happy with me.

stephanie; please sarah let me apologize

me: apologize for what? hurting me? leaving me? you didn't want me! you never loved me! if you really did love me you would've brought me with you! i've spent almost 10 years with my dad and my step mom and guess what! they make me happy! i have a family! i don't have a toxic mom! i was 7 when you left me. you broke my heart! you broke the family up! dad didn't get into a relationship until i was 14! my step mom and dad are getting married next year! you left me and my two brothers and took my other 4 brothers to go and you married a man as quickly as possible! i wanted to visit you when i turned 18 but i wouldn't even bother going back to you! all the times you have hit me and said it was an accident i believed you! when you burned me with the straightener i have that scar! i was 6! you tried getting me into soccer and basketball just like my brothers. you never let me do volleyball or dance but guess who let me do volleyball and dance? dad let me! anna let me! they are the only supportive parents i have ever known. i wanted you to show up to my 15th birthday because dad always talked about never wanting to forget his hispanic heritage and he wanted me to have a 15th birthday with everyone! he even invited you and you said you would show up and i was excited but did you show up? no you didn't show up. was i hurt? yes. did i realize i didn't need you then? yes. i certainly don't need you now or anytime in the future.

stephanie: sarah! i absolutely love you! i've changed. i miss my daughter. i would do anything to have you back! i didn't show up on your 15th birthday because your little sister was born! i wanted to show up but i couldn't. i wanted to keep you in soccer because you ran faster! basketball it's been a dream of mine for my daughter to become a basketball player just like i did! volleyball? dance? i never wanted you to get hurt.

me: she's not my little sister! i don't want to talk to you! i know your tricks! on my 14th birthday we had this exact fight and guess what? you ended up a liar!

me: don't even bother texting me anymore

"hey you ok?" zach asked

"uh yea it's just that my mom she just tried to contact me" i said

"are you ok?" he asked

"no! she just wants to manipulate me" i said

"come on let's go onto the plane" he wrapped his arms around me

i sat on the plan and i was sitting with zach and i kept reading the text i sent my mom over and over, she thinks i wouldn't be hurt after all these years

me: hey dad

dad❤️: hey how's it going?

me: uh stephanie tried to apologize to me

dad❤️: how did your mom get your number?

me: uh i ran into jackson somewhere and he got my number and he gave it to mom

dad❤️: sweetie i'm sorry!

me; you have nothing to be sorry about

me: i put her into her place

dad❤️: good!

me: she told me i have a little sister

dad❤️; ohh

me: yea but i can't bare to even talk to mom

dad❤️: don't you think you should try and talk to her!

"hey uh how long are we in Vancouver?"i asked

"uh about a few days!" zach said

"oh ok" i said

i texted mom before the plane started going up and zach began to sleep and i tried to sleep but i couldn't because i was meeting my mom and her husband in a few days. i want zach to come with me but i can't bring him
