i put my phone down and kissed y/n's hand.

"what happened?" she asked.

"you got into an accident rushing here." i reply to her.

a nurse walks in.

"you're awake!" she exclaims and comes over to her and ask some questions.

i take this as a sign to leave.
i crutch out and back to the boys.

"how is she?" jack asked.

"she's awake." i say slightly smiling.

"what!" the four boys in front of me said.

i nod.

"why don't you seem happy about it?" jonah asked.

"i am!" i smile and look down.

"but?" daniel said.

"but nothing, i'm fine." i say playing with my fingers.

"is it cause you're fucking cheating." corbyn says angrily through clenched teeth.

"it. is. not. i'm not fucking cheating!" i say a bit loud.

"well i have fucking proof so stop." corbyn makes fists.

he gets up and walks to go see y/n.

~~

days pass and y/n finally gets released from the hospital.
corbyn helps her into her room and zach comes in.

"i got her from here." zach said to corbyn.

corbyn nodded and walked out, closing the door behind him.

"baby, how do you feel?" zach asked me.

"good, i'm just a bit tired." i reply resting my head on him.

"alright, go to sleep silly." he replies kissing my forehead.

i slowly drift off to sleep.

zach's pov
i should've never cheated on her.
but when or if y/n finds out, i'll have a backup chick.
ugh.
i hate myself.
i play with y/n's hair and play games on my phone to pass time.

~~

y/n's pov
i wake up at the right time.

"time for dinner." zach smiled at me.

i smile back and i get up.
i watch zach use his crutches to get up.
i walk over to him and stay by him.
we get to the stairs and we slide on our butts cause why not.
we go over to the kitchen to see daniels famous salad.
i smile at the yummy dish and grab a serving.
i put my food down and help zach with his.
we sit down in our spots and eat.

"so what's this cheating thing corbyn keeps talking about?" jack asks bluntly.

i shoot my head up from my bowl of deliciousness.
i bolt my eyes towards zach.

"i'm not cheating babe." he assured me.

i look over at corbyn.
he looks like he's about to KILL zach.
him and zach have intense eye contact and i guess talking through it which i don't know what they were saying.
i start eating my food again.

"hey y/n can i talk to you?" daniel says tapping my leg.

i nod and we get up.
he helps me over to another room so no one heard.

"hey, i also think zachs cheating, i don't wanna be that guy. but i just can tell by the way he acts around you and when corbyn's yelling at him while you're gone." he said.

my heart dropped.
i didn't believe he was cheating before.
but now that daniel said something means zachs probably cheating.
daniel doesn't lie.
only white lies.

"oh." i could barely say out.

daniel hugs me and helps me back to the kitchen.
i sit down and continue eating my food.
i ignore zach and everyone else.
i finish and clean up my spot.
i go back to my room.
i lie down and slowly drift off to sleep.

zach's pov
"bro if you don't tell her by dinner tomorrow, i'm showing her the video. so you better fucking tell her. i'm this close to fucking killing you." corbyn said putting his hand up having his fingers close together.

"i didn't cheat." i said.

"i know you did." corbyn angrily replied.

"fine, yes, i did. but i decided to not anymore." i replied feeling relieved in a way.

"but you still did it you asshole." corbyn said.

by now daniel, jack and jonah went to bed.

"i'm sorry man, i don't know what got into me." i sighed out of frustration.

"you. you got into her. that's the big problem. you know how bad y/n's trust issues are, and you fucking decide to play her just like every other girl. it's disgusting." corbyn stood up clenching his jaw.

"i know." i said grabbing my keys and crushing towards the front door.

"where are you going?" corbyn asked.

"i don't know. i just need some head space." i said. and with that, i left.
