A new beginning, maybe? (Zack Foster x reader)

Y/n's day (before meeting Zack)

Y/n's pov:
My annoyingly loud alarm clock went off signalling that it was 8:30am, meaning it was time for me to get up. I turned of my alarm clock and headed down stairs for some breakfast. I greeted my dad when I got to the kitchen and grabbed some granola cereal and milk, it may be bland I know but just like me, my diet is simple. My phone began to ring, it was my mom just checking up on me as she usually does everyday. You see my parents separated about three years back but to be honest it was for the best, I mean they only spoke to each other when it was something regarding me, they weren't really, you know, intimate, I mean they even slept in separate bedrooms for fuck sake! I'm just relieved that they sorted all this divorce and custody stuff peacefully unlike most families. Anyways, I spoke to my mom for a little and ate my breakfast.

I decided that today would be a nice day for a walk, yeah it's kinda cold outside but that's what a coat is for, I just really want to get out and enjoy the scenery because it never fails to bring a smile to my face. Obviously my dad being the worrisome man he is, he just had to say all the are you sure it's a good idea stuff yet again but like always, I managed to reassure him so I can just get out of here and have some breathing space. I went and washed myself, put some clothes on and do something with my hair before saying goodbye to my dad and heading out the door.
After a 5 minute walk, I arrived at the woods. The birds were singing, the leaves were dancing in clusters on the trees, the waves that lie ahead were swishing, these things may be simple, daily actions but they're so peaceful and joyful, what's not to love?
Well, it sounds like someone is testing that theory. I could hear sobs and pleas, not like cries for help but like a need for something really depressing. My heart began pounding in fear and worry from what I was hearing. I walked a little further, ending up near the cliff edge and saw a young, bandaged man, crying his eyes out and shaking like a leaf. He's not gonna do what I think he is... Right? Oh shit! He set a foot over the edge and started to jump and that was it. I grabbed him by the shoulders, dragged him away from the cliff edge and threw him onto the grass surface. My hands shaking, my eyes watering, my breathing pattern worsening.
This boy began to cry more and yelled, "I WAS THIS CLOSE! WHY THE FUCK DID YOU THINK IT WAS A GOOD FUCKING IDEA TO DRAG ME AWAY FROM THERE YOU MAD BITCH!"
