You, Me, We, Us

Chapter 12

Hudson

After listening to Zoe I am happy she's sticking with her choices but that's kinda her she usually knows her mind well and I admire that about her. I know it's hypocritical of me not to want her to kiss him but I don't like him and she deserves better. We are all around the tables I said tables because we have a huge family even though not all of them are here. Zoe's met just about everyone but there are some she still hasn't met. Everyone makes plans for the day most of us are going to the lake. My girlfriend is meeting us there it will be great to see her. She get along great with Zoe. Zoe is so sweet the first time she met Molly she got her a gift. I know she was nervous to meet her because people always love her or hate her and I've never understood the hate her part she's literally one of the purest souls you'll meet she never has anterior motives and she shows kindness to everyone. We get to the lake and Zoe looks a bit upset I ask if she's ok she bites her lip oh s**t she's gonna cry I give her a hug then hold her hand and sit and say ok baby girl whats wrong. I don't want to swim she says. Why not you love swimming. She looks down because I'm literally the fattest person here. I hug her and say you are beautiful and who cares what anyone thinks besides it's mostly my family and none of them will be mean. Ok, I wipe her tears and hug her. I see Molly round the corner and she comes over and gives my arm a tug and says hey lets go swimming I ask Zoe if she's ok and she says yeah you go spend time with her.

Zoe

Part of my wishes Andy were here so it could be like a couple thing. I want Hudson to have fun he hasn't seen Molly in months and it's good for them to spend time together. I'm sitting on the shore giving them some time alone and my phone rings I hope its Andy but its not its Zack. I answer and say hey there Zack how are? I'm good he says I got to come home before shipping out to my permanent placement for the next year. I say wait your in North Carolina he says yes why? Because you nut I'm here for a week and although Hudson is here, he's occupied by his girlfriend and I would love if we could hang out. Sure thing beautiful where are you? I tell him where we are he says he's on his way. I get in the water for a while and swim over to Hudson and Molly and chat with them a while and she's nice but she seem agitated with me and I'm not sure why. Hudson tells Molly he's going to get a drink I say I will also be back. I ask Hudson if he told Molly I have a boyfriend he says yes I said did you tell her his name he? He said no he didn't then asks why I said Hudson I think it's for the best if she thinks Zack is my boyfriend oh yeah I forgot to tell you he will be here soon. But why do you need to lie to her. I look at him and say do I like to lie? No he says then just trust me. Ok? ok.
