overlooked; z. herron

𝔖𝔢𝔳𝔢𝔫

"i-i can explain." i stutter out.

"go ahead asshole." y/n yells at me.

"i used to date her and i saw her for the first time today. we exchanged numbers. i didn't know she'd send that. i'm sorry silly." i replied rethinking the whole situation.

i really love y/n.
i don't want to hurt her.
i don't even know why i did what i did.
y/n sits silently looking down.

"fine." she said softly getting outside the car and walking in the front door.

y/n's pov
i walk in the house and run up to my room.
we were changing zachs room to a guest room and we were still moving his stuff from room to room.
i close my door and flop on my bed.
i let out a sigh and cry a little bit.

zach's pov
i text back.

zach: how bout we just have hookups and not date? i have a girlfriend.

lea: alright.

zach: don't send anymore pictures unless i send first.

lea: ok daddy 😉

i put my phone in my pocket and grab all the bags of stuff we purchased today.
i walk inside and go upstairs.
i go into me and y/n's shared room.
i place the bags down.

y/n's pov
zach walks in and puts the bags of stuff down on the floor.

"what." i say shaky.

"baby i'm sorry." he says looking down.

"no sex for you." i frown and look away.

"i don't care about sex, i care about you silly." zach said softly.

"zach, please just let me be." i ask.

"ok." he said slightly louder than a whisper.

i watch as he walks out and closes the door.
i lay back down and cry.

~~

"y/n." i heard someone calling my name.

i look at the time.
it was our dinner time.
i walk downstairs and shuffle my feet towards the kitchen.
i grab a plate of the pasta and sigh.

"y/n?" i heard daniel softly say from next to me.

i look at him.

"i'm here if you need anything." he says squeezing my hand.

i nod and continue eating my pasta.
zach kept trying to talk to me.
i ignored him.
i soon finished my dinner and put my bowl in the dishwasher.
i run upstairs and go to my office to try to do some work.

~~

i look at the time on my computer and it said:1:24am
i turn off my computer and go to my room.
i see zach laying there like a baby.
slightly snoring.
i get in bed with him and he wraps his arms around my waist.
i smile and fall asleep.
