Back To You (Sequel to Fly High // Zach Herron)

Chapter 27

30 minutes have already past and the operator has already reviewed the cctv but he told us he haven't seen Zara at all. We were all getting worried and we were rushing floor by floor trying to check if Zara was around somewhere.

The pool area, garden, restaurant, casino, pool table, roof top we check everywhere but Zara was nowhere to be found. We went back to our own rooms to check if she was already there but she was not.

"Library. Zara loves to read books" Zach said as he approached a hotel staffs.

"Excuse me. Do you have library in this hotel?" Zach asked.

"Yes sir. It's on the 7th floor" The staff replied.

We all rushed through the elevator and clicking the number 7 button multiple times hoping it will fasten the process. We all ran towards the library and there we saw Zara sleeping with a book on her hand.

"This girl could seriously give me a heart attack" Daniel shake his head.

➰➰➰

It's been an hour but the sermon from the Why Don't We boys is still going on. I was sitting on the edge of the bed while they were walking back and forth in front of me.

"What were you thinking?!"

"What's got into you young lady!"

"You should have brought your phone or left a note!"

"Don't ever do that again, Zara!"

"You almost gave everyone a heart attack!"

"We have checked all corners of this hotel just to find you!"

"We almost called the police!"

"Are you not scared of what might happened to you after someone send you those letters?!"

"C'mon Zara we are trying to protect you!"

"Are you even listening to us?!"

On and on and on and on, it was a non stop session from the boys. I can't blame them, it was really my fault.

"Okay I get it. I'm sorry. I just couldn't sleep last night so I went to the library" I said.

Everyone sigh while giving me a sympathetic look. Daniel sat next to me and gave me hug while caressing my back.

"I hope you understand that we were trying to protect you. We just don't want anything to happen especially to you, you were our best friend and part of our family" Daniel said.

"I do understand and I'm really sorry. I won't do it again" I replied.

Everyone was now preparing for the concert tonight but Jonah was still very upset to me. He haven't talk to me nor approached me. I was guilty for making him felt that way, if only I'm not that stupid.

I tried to approach Jonah but he will just left me there hanging. The other boys already noticed and they were giving me an apologetic look.

"He'll come around. He cannot stand not talking to you. Just give him a time" Jack pats my shoulder.

The boys was now on stage singing their greatest hits. Everyone was screaming how happy they saw the boys. It content me seeing them like this, it was such a happy feeling.

12am and we are all back to the hotel exhausted. Jonah was still ignoring me but I can't handle it anymore. Once we step inside our shared hotel room I finally spoke.

"Look Jonah I'm really sorry. I know I made you upset on what happened earlier. I was stupid. I should've left you a note or took my phone with me. You're my big brother and I can't stand it when were both like this, ignoring one another. You're the only person I could trust and you knew that" I said.

He pulled me into a big bro hug and we stayed being like that for 2 minutes or so. I don't know, I was enjoying his comfortable hugs. He sigh and kissed my forehead before letting me go from the hug and holding my shoulders while looking at me.

"I'm sorry too, Zara. I was just worried about you. You know how much I love you and I can't handle it if I lose you. I hope you understand that, as your big brother I'm ready to do anything just to protect the one I love" He replied.

I finally gave in and cry in his arms. He rub my back rocking me back and forth.

"Shhh... there there it's okay. Now, do you wanna go eat ice cream?" He smiled.

I nod my head while I was rubbing my tears away. He chuckles on how I acted. He kept telling me I look like a kid being awarded by ice cream after being scolded.
