Zach's POV

when i got to my car i already knew she was asleep, so i slowly slid her off my back and put her down in the passengers side of the car, i buckled her up and walked around to the drivers side. i buckled up and began to drive. i dont know if i wanted to tell her yet, well i do but i dont know if im ready to commit you know?
after a 15minute drive i finally got to her house, i switched off the car and got out, i went around to her side and unbuckled her i picked her up and locked my car, i then went to open the front door, as usual it was unlocked
"hello?" i said as i stepped inside shutting the door behind me, someone came slowly walking out of the living room, it was her nana
"oh hello Zach" she said and yawned "how was he?"
"he was fine, i think he was talking to her before i came to get her, she didn't want to leave so my mom called me to get her home. she actually agreed then she fell asleep as i was giving her a piggy back to the car" i chuckled a bit at the last part
"okay dear" she said, i knew everyone was at the house, since the two kids are young but i just needed to check
"are the boys here?" i asked, she nodded "would you like me to lock up for you when i leave?" i asked
"yes please, i was on my way to bed" she sent a small smile as she waddled off to her room. then i carried jess to hers. when i opened the door the room was pitch black so i turned the light on and her room was a hot mess, her bed wasn't made, there were clothes everywhere and the blinds were closed. i trampled over everything and laid her down in the bed. i didn't want her sleeping in her jeans and t-shirt so i had to wake her up.

"Jess" i whispered, she didn't move
"Jessica" i shook her a little and she groaned. she slowly opened her eyes and looked at me
"get changed" i said and i bend down onto the ground, i went to pick up a t-shirt but it was wet... urh okay? i looked around and couldn't find anything. i groaned and looked around.. what do i do? then i remembered i was wearing two t-shirts... dont ask... so i took the top one off and handed it to her
"thank you" she lightly smiled at me and didn't get up, she just began to undress where she was, i quickly turned around to give her some privacy. i heard her throw heavy jeans on the floor so i looked back over, she looked hella cute in my t-shirt. she slipped under the sheets and shut her eyes once her head hit the pillow.

"ill come get you to take you to the hospital tomorrow okay?" i said and just looked at her
she sighed "Zach... will you stay, i um dont wanna be alone" she said
"yeah, sure" i said "ill be back in a second" she nodded and i walked out of her room and too her kitchen. i locked the front door then called my mom.

"hey Zach are you okay?" she asked
"im fine mom. but ive just dropped Jessica off but she doesn't want me to go, as she doesn't want to be alone. so its okay right?" i asked and shuffled my feet
"yes its fine" she said
"alright - ill bring her back to the hospital tomorrow" i said
"yeah okay hun. see you"
"bye" i hung up

then i made my way to her room again, as i walked in i saw she turned her lamp on so i turned the big light off. she was sat up on the bed playing with her phone
"jess, you know those shorts i have here, where did you put them?" i asked
"in the top drawer" she said, i nodded and walked to the dresser, i opened it and it was at the top so i took my jeans off and put them on. then i got into bed with her, i was laying down and she was still sat up
"jess your knackered, please sleep" i said
she yawned "im not tired"
i chucked a bit "of course not" i snatched her phone off her and put it on the night stand
"Zach" she groaned and looked down at me
"come on. lay down" i said, she sighed and laid down facing me "there we go"
she shook her head and smiled lightly. i noticed she couldn't get comfortable so i put my arm around her and patted my stomach
"come here" i said, she inched over and laid her head on my chest. i stroked her hair before turning the lamp off and the both of us fell asleep...
