Perfect ◇ Why Don't We

Chapter 14

The bright light that was contained by the curtains was already too dazzling for Eliza causing her to squint for a few moments until her eyes adjusted.

She held her head from her hand because of the painful headache.

She turned her head and saw Zach sleeping next to her.

"Get up, sleepyhead." Eliza said, shaking Zach slightly.

"Good morning." Zach mumbled, still closing his eyes.

She then realized that Zach was shirtless making her jaw drop. "Oh my god. Oh my god."

"What happened?" Zach snapped open his eyes and sat down on the bed.

"What happened last night?" Eliza asked him.

"You were drunk." He answered.

"Anything else?" She asked him. "Why are you shirtless?"

"You're the one who took off my shirt last night." Zach chuckled.

"Did we-um-you know?" She asked mentally praying that she hadn't lost her virginity last night.

Zach smirked, making her groan and drifting into the bed.

"Nothing happened last night." Zach smirked, making her to sigh in relief before turning to him and starting to hit him playfully.

"Bastard." She said, making him chuckle.

"Can you remember the things you said to me last night?" Zach asked.

"Come on, Zach. I know that you want me so badly." He mimicked her, making her blush.

"I was drunk." She reasoned. "When people get drunk they ramble things without control."

"Oh really?" He asked her while smirking.

"Yeah." She nodded and smiled.

Jack, Corbyn, Jonah, Elsa, Zach and Eliza were in Myta's hospital room looking at her weak body. Myta was dealing with a cancer and she had hid it from others telling that it was just a small fever. So, the cancer has become worse.

The door opened and closed and everyone turned to the door to see a brunette in her twenties with a middle aged woman. The brunette looked familiar to Myta making Eliza assume that she was Zach's sister.

"Mom?" She said before she ran and sat beside Myta's bed and started to cry.

Zach hugged her, making her cry into his shoulder.

"She fell asleep. We couldn't wake her up. They said she slipped into a coma. They said they can make her comfortable." Zach said, stroking her hair.

"She's not comfortable. She's dying! I didn't get to say good-bye. I didn't get to say good-bye to my mom." Resse sobbed.

"What'd the doctors say?" Zach's aunt who looked like she was about to cry, asked.

"Oh, she's stable, but, you know." Jonah answered this time.

"How much longer?" Zach's aunt asked.

"Not long. The hospital says she has a DNR, so..." Jonah said as the EKG kept beeping.

Zach's aunt nodded, swiping the tear that slipped through her cheek before she left the room. "I think I need some air."

Jack, Corbyn, Jonah and Elsa walked out of the room leaving Zach, Reese and Eliza in the room with Myta.

"I should have been with her." Resse sobbed.

"You didn't know." Zach said.

"But I knew she was sick, and I knew it was bad." Resse said.
