Always

Chapter 8

You can probably tell by the picture what's gonna happen in this chapter.

I couldn't hear myself think the music was so loud. I saw Zach's mouth moving but all I heard was, "You...to...where..." "What did you say?" I tried to be heard over the music. " I said.... Want.... Quiet?" He screamed. I still could not hear him. Then the song that was playing came to an end and before another song could start he asked, "Do you want to go somewhere quiet?" The music started up again so I nodded. He smiled and took my hand. We weaved our way through the crowd and went inside the house. "Are you sure we are aloud in here, I mean it's not even our house." "So? Other people are in here." He shrugged his shoulders. I looked around and saw people walking around, and heard random bursts of laughter. I smiled and nodded. "So much for not causing any trouble this year, huh?" I laughed and he blushed. "So, what were you drawing earlier anyway?" He asked. "Oh, umm, nothing. I was just doodling." "It looked very detailed to be a doodle." He laughed. "It was nothing." "Okay, whatever." He said sarcastically. Just then a bunch of drunk idiots burst through the door. It pained me to see people so young wasting there lives like my dad. "Want anything to drink? Beer? Wine? Champagne?" Zach asked. Obviously he hadn't seen the losers who had walked in. "Umm, no. I don't drink cause..." I trailed off. "Oh, sorry," he caught me starring at the drunk people. "You say that a lot." I laughed. "Do you want to go somewhere else?" He jerked his head toward the people. "Umm, yah." "Okay." We walked up the stairs and sat on a couch that was in the hallway.

We talked for hours. I laughed till I cried and he smiled his cute little smile and I let go, and I had fun for the first time since the crash. "So, do you know who owns this place? I mean they gotta be pretty rich. I don't hang out with rich people, cause they think they can buy your friendship. You know what I mean?" I looked at Zach. "Oh, yeah. Totally." I smiled. "You know I had a weird feeling about you. But, I guess I was wrong huh?" I blushed. "Yah, and I made a promise to myself that I was gonna stay away from girls. Then I met you. But your different! Your real. You know, your true. I have dated plenty girls and thought it was love but I was totally wrong!" "What do you mean?" I asked confused. "I know what love really is now." Zach blushed. "All those other girls try to be someone else. They are never them. Your different. Your smile makes me smile. I can't stop thinking about you, your beautiful and kind and funny and...I think I like you." He blurted out and then blushed. I was surprised. I had never had a boyfriend or anything close to one. I had never kissed anyone or fell in love. Just then Zach leaned in. I jerked away and the joy Zach had in his eyes went away. I really like Zach. I really do, but I was scared. I was scared we would loose everything. Just then I remembered everything that happened that day. Every bad moment and terrible thing. And how Zach was there to fix everything. The popular girls, the talk on the way home, the dress! I looked into his eyes and sighed. "I hope you will stay with me, no matter what." I whispered. I leaned in and before our lips touched he whispered something too. "Always." And all at once we were breathing the same air. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he put his hands around my waist. I could feel every breath he took and every thing he felt, I felt. Just then someone's voice was almost nipping at my ear. Zach pulled away. And looked at me. That was the best first kiss ever. It was like I was in a book. "I hate to interrupt," I heard Cassandra say. She looked at me. "Oh, so glad you made it." Then she turned to Zach. "Your moms looking for you, she says your sisters here and she needs you to come up on stage with the family." She smiled evily, but I was confused. "Your mom?Why would they need you up on stage with them?" I asked. "Oh, didn't you hear?" Cassandra asked. "This is Zach's house. His family is worth millions." I shook my head. No! "No... No! But I..." I looked at Zach. "Liv, I can explain..." He began. "Oops!" Cassandra snickered. "You, you little." My vision blurred as tears cascaded down my cheeks. "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?! I HATE YOU, I TRUSTED YOU! I TOLD YOU EVERYTHING!" I stood up, and so did he. "Liv, please, just let me explain." "NO! DON'T CALL ME LIV, AND THERE IS NOTHING TO EXPLAIN, I TRUSTED YOU BUT YOU WERE JUST F***ING WITH ME!" "Please," he reached out to grab my arm. "NO! NO,DONT YOU F***ING TOUCH ME. YOU, YOU, YOU LIEING PEICE OF SH*T!" "Common, Olivia. You got to hear me out." I started to walk away. "I never want to see your face again." I cried. "Common..." "GO TO HELL!" I screamed and ran out.

Zach's POV.

"GO TO HELL!" Olivia screamed and ran off. "Wait..." But it was too late, she was gone. "Well, now that's she's gone, you have to go see your sister and then maybe later you and I can have a drink." Cassandra winked. "Oh yah, I'll put that on my to do list right underneath ride a unicorn to the end of a rainbow and bathe in the pot of gold!" I rolled my eyes. "Playing hard to get?" Cassandra smiled. "Why do you gotta be a b*tch?" I asked shaking my head and walking away.

"How is my handsome brother doing?" My sister asked. "Kylie, why are you here? Last time I checked you were 'moving to L.A and never coming back to see your low life family that only care about themselves.'" "Oh, Zach. You know me, I say things I don't mean." Kylie laughed. "So do I. I am actually a very good liar. Watch... Oh Kylie! I'm so glad your home! I missed you so much. I mean I defiantly forgive you for what you did! Oh it's so great to have you back!" I frowned and walked away. "When are you going to grow up and get over that!?" Kylie yelled as I walked away. I marched right into he face and whispered. " I grew up! Now it's your turn!" And walked away. "Common Zach! Forgive me already and stop f***ing around!" "Never!"
