ZACH
I was at a loss of words. To ever think that he actually liked me was stupid. I walked aimlessly down the sidewalk, tears dripping from my cheeks. Being the clumsy person I am, I almost ran into a pole I dodged it, but I tripped on a rock. I scraped my elbow and whined as I sat on the ground. How could anyone love? Noah was right, Jack should've just stayed away. "Zach? Is that you?" I hear a familiar voice call. I look up and see Corbyn running towards me. "Hey Zach! What're you doing out here alone?" He questions, sitting next to me.
I should be asking you the same question. Where's Christina or Jo or Dani?
"Answer my question first." He laughs.
Thinking I guess.
"Oh. That's cool. Now tell me the truth." He says with a completely serious face.
I just needed to get away for a bit. Jack started talking about this girl and I guess I got jealous in some form and, I don't know it's stupid.
"So you like Jack?" He smirks. Oh shoot I forgot I only told Daniel.
Y-yeah.
"I always knew. The way you act around him. He's so oblivious I swear." He chuckled.
Well it's not like he likes me anyways. He met this girl and he seems happier when he talks about her.
Tears start slipping down my cheeks again as I silently crying into my hands. "Oh Zachy." Corbyn consoles, pulling me towards his chest. "At least face him, okay?" He smiles. I nod and get up, signing him thank you and walking back to my house.
"You're back!" He shouts with a grin on his face, embracing me in a hug. I hugged him back before pulling away.
Jack?
"Yeah?"
Could you sing for me, like that one time you did when I was about to cry?
"Of course. Any song recommendations?" He questions while walking up to my room.
Happier, by Ed Sheeran
"Okay."
A/N: Play the song above if you don't know it now.
Walking down 29th and Park
I saw you in another's arms
Only a month we've been apart
You look happier
Saw you walk inside a bar
He said something to make you laugh
I saw that both your smiles were twice as wide as ours
Yeah, you look happier, you do
Ain't nobody hurt like I hurt you
But ain't nobody love you like I doo~
Promise that I will not take it personal, baby
If you're moving on with someone new
'Cause baby you look happier, you do
My friends told me one day I'll feel it too
And until then I'll smile and hide the truth
But I know I was happier with you
Sat in the corner of the room
Everything's reminding me of youu~
Nursing an empty bottlee~ and telling myself you're happier
Aren't you?
Ain't nobody hurt you like I hurt you
But ain't nobody need you like I do
I know that there's others that deserve you
But my darling, I am still in love with you
But I guess you look happier, you do
My friends told me one day I'll feel it too
I could try to smile to hide the truth
But I know I was happier with you
Baby, you look happier, you do
I knew one day you'd fall for someone new
But if he breaks your heart like lovers do
Just know I'll be waiting here for you
As he finished that last lyrics i closed my eyes.
Maybe he is happier with her. And if she ever breaks him, I'll be here waiting.
A/N: look I finally got the courage to update. Sorry for the short chapter though.
