"When I was little, I thought love was red roses and expensive dinners... But now, when I look at you, I realise that love is, just stumbling through life with your best friend."

The days went faster than ever and suddenly, the weekend was on the doorsteps.
"River, come on, wake up, we need to go." Faye shouted as she sat on the couch with Zach.
"That bastard is still sleeping... anyways, when are you both planning to return?" Zach asked, shoving a cinnamon roll inside his mouth that Faye had brought for them.
"Do not know. Whenever he wants to, I guess." She said, nodding to herself.
"Hopefully, after this, everything will go fine..." Zach breathed out, laying on the couch, making her nod silently.
"By the way, I need to ask you something." She said, turning to look at him.
"Yah?"
"Do you still like Mads?" She asked, her eyes full of hope.
The question made him look at her with wide eyes and, he gulped, looking away, "Things are never the way we want them Faye." He said, shaking his head.
"What's wrong?" She asked, squeezing his shoulder.
"I do not know Faye. I mean, why will she go out with a shithead like me?"
"Ugh... why do not you give it a chance?" She pushed.
He scoffed, "I do not deserve her. She is an angel and I am the devil."
"Are you serious?" She looked at him with disbelief.
"I really do not want to talk about this right now." He said in a small voice and Faye nodded, somewhere understanding.
"Don't think that I am letting go of this though. We will talk as soon as I will return." She declared, making him run his hand through his face.
"I will be going for surfing with Max and others today, along with that, I am failing Physics, I got myself a tutor, she is going to help me shove this shit inside my head, she is gonna be here tomorrow." Zach said after sometime.
"You got yourself a tutor?" Faye asked, arching an eyebrow.
"Yah, Isabella, the same one who is in the council. Ugh, I am gonna get doomed. I asked Mr. Owens to assign you and he said that you are tutoring River and Mads, so, I fucking got caught with that girl..." He groaned, grabbing his hair.
"There, there. She is not that bad, trust me, she is pretty cool. Do not worry too much." Faye patted his back, laughing.
"Whatever... I just need to pass my classes or I will not be graduating this year." And as she was going to say something, Zach's phone rang.
"Yah man, am coming." He hang up and turned towards Faye, "They are here Faye, I need to go, take care of yourself and my brother, yah?" And he gave her a warm hug.
"I will." Zach patted the top of her head before walking away from there.
As soon as he was gone, Faye made her way upstairs to wake River up.
"River, come on, its half past eleven, we need to leave." She banged on the door again and again, getting silence in response.
"River, I swear, I will open the door." She warned, glaring at the wooden surface.
