ZOEY

i haven't felt like this in days- possibly even weeks, but im almost fully aware the pollen situation isn't over.
"we should go out." corbyn slides over a plate with a small yet tall stack of floppy pancakes.

"to where?" jack inquires as he helps himself to grabbing two bare pancakes with his two bare yet hopefully washed hands. he bites into one before tossing them on his own separate plate and then drowning them in butter maple syrup. "It's not like we have any place to actually go."

corbyn shrugs off jack's blunt and unenthusiastic response as he butters his pancakes. "i mean we could go for a walk? we haven't did anything as friends in forever- i mean jack when is the last time me and you even picked up a controller?"

"corbyn's right, jack." i mumbled quietly trying my hardest not to stir the boiling pot even more.

"'corbyn's right' she says, yet did we forget you're the reason we're all like thi-"

"that's enough, jack."

jack stands down. "sorry."

"i should be the one apologizing." i state and right after i do the rest of the boys (who seemed to take up there time getting ready) walked down the steps and into the kitchen to the aroma of fresh pancakes and sizzling butter on a pan.

"what's up?" daniel takes a seat next to jack on the kitchens island. "ooo- pancakes? thanks." he too just like jack picked up a pancake with his bare hands.

hope you washed your hands

zach hits daniel's head with his whiteboard before taking a seat next to me.

nice movie you picked out last night

"yeah?" i smile assuringly.

he hums a 'yes'.

i scanned his eyes and for a split moment it felt like everyone and everything just froze into place. his eyes read everything about me, and i think he could say the same about mines- because he still had the same glossy spark whenever he looked at me.
so i had to say it,

"i miss your voice, zach." i whispered so softly and so closely to his face that im certain none of the others heard.
his face turns pink and in the silence his eyes move back and forth on mine, reading them for more answers- but in all honesty, i didnt have any answers. just pleads.
"i miss you."

what about pollen? You love him?

"i never did. i thought i had but i hadn't."

That's some good news for this bad week at least

"im sorry for all the bad news, zach." i quiver over my words and even with background noise of the boys chowing down pancakes and goofing off it still felt as if me and zach were alone again.

even in the bad news zoey, youre my only good news. knowing that youre okay.

"you're my good news too, zach."

he smiles,

Zoey I think we shou-

A loud bang is heard from the front door and the atmosphere of the room is quiet as a mouse. we all just stare at each other for a moment- just blank stares.

"Zoey i can hear you in there!"

Zach's eyes only widen and he just stares at me as if i know what to do.. newsflash i don't.

"fuck!" jack yells in a aggregated tone, "does this guy take 'no' for an answer, zoey?" i almost flinch at Jack's newest tone but it shouldn't be a surprise anymore to them. i zoey, am a human magnet attracting attention... bad attention.

"Zoey, please."

none of us utter a word. not even the smallest of peeps were uttered. nothing, as we noisily peek through the small curtains covering the open wide window.

he drops to his knees, his face buried in his knees, his chest expanded as he breaths heavily, pins of sweat, desperate, adrenaline.

"Zoey, you promised." , "You promised. Forever and always. —Dammit zoey you promised!"

He throws small pebbles at the windows, his sweat on his forehead becoming heavier, somehow my mind just cant keep the trigger of his sweat from occurring inside my brain. the way it drips, the way he breaths, the way he's demanding my presents. why did i promise?

"Zoey you fucking promised!" He yells.

You promised?

i cant shake the hurt in Zach's eyes.

"zach-"

"FOREVER AND ALWAYS... Zoey you fucking promised you bitch!"

N O T E ;
Pollens back and I'm finally updating? Wow.

I know I said I'd post like weeks and weeks ago but I'm losing the motivation to write books anymore, I'm getting older and my love for why don't we is still there but not as much as it used to be, you know? So again these updates will be slow, but I can assure everyone that after I finish up all the books that need to be finished I'm taking a forever long break.

Anywayssss, end of this chapter, what do you guys think?

How are you guys by the way it feels like I haven't asked you guys in like forever!

If you asked me- well I'm doing not to shabby, hopefully I can update quicker, but for now enjoy this:)

Alright! I'm gonna go and TRY to update, pray that I see you guys sooner than half a month later!!!

BYE

Love youz babes🙃.
