You, Me, We, Us

Chapter 23

June

That was so cool sneaking around helping him get those things for her. No one has really ever taken care of her that way and I'm so happy he is. It makes me sad though they won't get more than a week. I think that he could be the guy she would marry if he didn't have to leave.

It makes me sad that they won't have eachother. He treats her with care like my brother does only he likes her as a girlfriend. My brother insists he doesn't. She's the person that takes care of everyone else but forgets herself. She's sometimes rough around the edges. Mostly if she doesn't know you and that makes her alert. The thing is she's been hurt a lot. We all love her and think the world of her. My dad once told me she's good for him. She helps him stay ground. He makes better choices with her around. I really don't care for Molly. I don't she is a fake nice to your face horrible behind your back. She pretended to like Zoe, for my brother's sake. I know she never did. I once over heard her with her friends saying she would use s*x to get her way. I laughed and laughed that was the funniest thing I ever heard. See my brother and Zoe have an agreement about that. I know for a fact he doesn't want Zoe sleeping around. I also know my brother isn't ready. He talks a big game but he's not. My mom and dad are hilarious they make people think they have no idea whats going on but they actually do it's so funny.

After we hit a few more stores and Have lunch we decide it's time to go back. We have tonight and then tomorrow and that's it we go home.

We get home and Zoe's out I go to wake her and Zack says don't I'll carry her where's her room. I take him upstairs and he says oh that's right she shares with your brother. Yeah, but it's not like that you know. Yeah I know. Zack lays her down and she reaches out and says Zack don't leave me. I know she meant she wanted him to not leave the room but you could literally see the heartbreak in his eyes. He asks if it's ok. I say yeah I'll come wake y'all in an hour Zoe will be mad she slept at all.

Zack

She said don't leave me and my heart broke. I have started to fall for her and two years is a long time. I will not under any circumstances ask her at such an age to wait for me. I wish things were different I could have it all with her. Life is weird that way though I won't say I love her because I don't but given time I could and she's not the love of my life but give time I think she could be. I do care for her far more than I should a girl I've only been dating a week. She's special the guy she ends up with better treat her well or I'll kick his ass. Holding her, breathing her in is amazing. I finally fall asleep and wake up to someone staring at me. It's not Zoe it's Hudson and he looks reserved. Ok, what did I do? I wake up, Zoe is still asleep so I wisper what's with the look? I think your a good guy so I'm not going to assume I'm going to ask you didn't ? My eyes go wide no man. No, no I like her but I know she's never and I told you I wouldn't, I respect her. He visibly relaxes. I just wanted to make sure she already attached and I don't want her heart broke. I have a feeling if you did she would fall head over heels. I know then she'd be in real bad shape when you leave. I honestly I have never felt the way I feel about her, with anyone else. It's very likely if we did sleep together I too would be in the same boat. As we talk quietly. Then she wakes with a start looks at the clock she's lost 2 hours. What the heck you guys let me sleep. You know that's 2 less hours I have with you. I know but baby now we can stay up late and be with each other. Right now though I gotta run home and get changed for tonight. Zoe: ok I'll get ready what dress do you want me to wear? I want you to wear the white with your 2 piece then bring the teal one for after we swim. Ok I'll do that. I kiss her good bye and leave.
