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

The place

Zack's Pov:
"Y/n?"
"What is it Zack?" Y/n asked with a sense of confusion in her voice.
"Can I take you somewhere nearby? There's a lot of shit that I need to get off my chest." My hands started to shake a little as I began to feel really fucking nervous about some of the shit that I going to tell Y/n. She eventually responded, "Of course you can, if it's going to help you or anything then it's absolutely fine. When do you want to take me to this place."
"Just to fucking calm me it would be best to go now if that's ok." My voice cracked in worry. Tension starts to build in my chest. "Sure, we can go now if it helps you." Her voice was so reassuring and sweet, so harmonic and so fucking beautiful. The tension in my chest unfolds a little, letting my shoulders relax slightly. "Ok then let's fucking go then."
Y/n's Pov:
As we were leaving the house for abit, I quickly dashed to my room to get dressed, sort out hygiene and all that crap and made my hair look presentable because at the end of the day, I can't really go out with a bee's nest on my head can I? As it was the first pair of footwear that I could find, I grabbed a pair of combat boots, shoved them on in a swift motion and headed out of my room ready for Zack to take me to wherever the hell he wanted to take me. I was kind of worried About what he wants to tell me because his tone of voice kept changing and cracking and his hands kept violently shaking. Zack started shaking me a little to get my attention, "You ready to go?" He asked concerned, almost as if he was worried that he was wasting my time. I nodded my head and hugged him, "You don't need to worry ok?"
The poor boy was so confused. "Worry?"
"Yeah. You've been on edge since speaking about wherever this place is."
"Oh yeah, well it just holds a lot of memories. Anyways it's a twenty minute walk, I hope that's not too fucking long, if it is then we don't have to go."
"Hey it's ok, we will go because you want to ok. Besides twenty minutes isn't really that long."
"Ok then let's go."
"Yeah."

Those twenty minutes flew by super efficiently and we were now standing outside a derelict building of some sort. "What is this place?" I asked Zack with a wave of curiosity and interest flowing in my voice.
Zack's Pov:
I took a few deep breaths to calm myself so I was ready to speak about this shitty place that were currently standing in front of. I turned to Y/n and began to explain, "This was the children's home that I grew up in."
"Children's home? I thought you lived with your mom and step dad, like how else would he have set you on fire? Wait sorry I shouldn't have brought that up." She started panicking slightly. I intertwined my fingers with hers and held her hand. "Hey you don't need to apologise for that shit, at the end of the day that happened to me so you don't need to apologise for anything. Anyways you're right about living with my parents because I was with them until after I was set alight, which was when I was sent to this fucking hellhole." I paused and took a deep breath so I could carry on. "My stupid ass self genuinely thought that I would get the fucking help, support and care that I needed at this place because the people running it would probably know what the fuck they're doing but I could not have been any more wrong. In fact being here was ten times worse than being at with my mom and step dad and I never thought those shitty disgusting words would ever come out of my fucking mouth." I paused again and squeezed Y/n's hand and tightened my grip but not enough to hurt her. I don't think I'd be able to fucking live with myself if I ever hurt her, even if it was only a small amount, I just wouldn't fucking be able to function properly. "The people that ran the home would make me bury dead bodies and all that shit, fuck knows who these deceased bastards were but either way I was forced to bury them, I never really wanted to do that shit but I was given no choice because all the other kids in the home were too pussy. Not that I blame them for being like that and shit, I mean they must've come from some fucked up childhood if they were to end up in that home like I did. Oh and not to mention that they were abusive also. Honestly the worst experiences of my life apart from being set on fire had taken place in that god damn home and the memories of it all still haunt me to this god damn fucking day!" I yelled out towards the end of what I was saying and began crying uncontrollably. Y/n scooped me into a tight hug.
Y/n's Pov:
I honestly can't believe what I just heard. These assholes seriously did this to Zack despite the fact that he was only a FUCKING CHILD. I gathered my thoughts and shoved my anger for these people into the back of my head and comforted Zack, who was sobbing in my arms. "Hey, I'm so fucking sorry that these assholes of human beings had out you through all of that nasty shit when you were younger. Just remember that it's over now and that they can't get to you anymore. I know that it still frightens you but that's ok, stuff like this usually stays with people for the rest of their lives so you've got nothing to be ashamed of ok." I rubbed his back and wiped his tears away. "Can we go back to yours and just chill and eat shit and all that?" He asked in a gentle tone of voice. "Of course we can." I responded in a chirpy voice. He shot me a smile and we headed back to my house.
Zack's Pov:
She is my future.
