third person.
                          
evie had decided against texting delilah because she felt that it would be rude to take away zach's chance at expressing his feelings for her. that's a joke, franny scolded her out of it saying those exact words. evie pouted for a good ten minutes until jack gave her a hug.
                          
it had been a full month since zach's admitted his feelings for delilah but neither of them had spoken since the fight in her apartment. zach still checks up on her through their friends and instagram and delilah does the exact same.
                          
they both miss each other but only zach will admit it. delilah keeps trying to convince herself she's over him by moving things along with jaden, who is clueless by the way. jaden's just another pretty boy in la but delilah tries to see more of him and force herself to like him.
                          
with the boys album release date coming closer the four plus franny, evie, and may have decided it's time to reconcile zach and delilah. so here they are giving hella déjà vu to the group of only a little while back. they were all at daniel's house, but instead of victoria, there was jaden, and zach was not happy.
                          
"why didn't you tell me that he was going to be here?" zach asked jack as the whole group watched delilah walk in with jaden with a look of disbelief on their faces.
                          
"dude i swear i didn't know she was bringing him" jack raised his hands in surrender.
                          
"well i'm out of here" zach said.
                          
"oh no you're not" daniel ran in front of him blocking his exit. "you are going to talk to dee and you are going to fix things"
                          
"no" 
                          
"what the fuck do you mean no?" jack furrowed his eyebrows.
                          
"i mean no, you wanna hear it in spanish? no" zach recited.
                          
"i'm so going to punch you right now" daniel stated. "and when did you start watching teen wolf the fuck?" 
                          
zach shrugged, "delilah made me watch it once or twice or ten times with her"
                          
"oh you fucking simp go talk to her now" daniel demanded.
                          
"i really can't do that" 
                          
"and why not?" 
                          
"i'm scared" 
                          
"oh my- zach look at me" jack told him making the boy face him. "stop being an idiot and go talk to her, it's just dee, the girl you never shut up about, and i can guarantee she never shuts up about you so go"
                          
"i hurt her feelings man, like really bad" zach shifted awkwardly looking at the girl laugh at a joke he couldn't hear, but just hearing her laugh gave him butterflies.
                          
"so apologize, i know she'll forgive you, but you've got to go over there and speak to her" jack pushed him over to her as the boy hesitantly made his way over.
                          
"h-hey" zach said as he made his way over to delilah who was sitting with the girls and jaden.
                          
"oh he-"
                          
"jaden" the boy introduced himself cutting delilah off as he stood to his feet holding his hand out for zach to shake.
                          
"zach" the boy looked at jaden's hand but shook his head. "sorry, i'm a germaphobe"
                          
"since when-"
                          
"dee can i talk to you for a minute?" zach interrupted may's question to turn to delilah.
                          
"yeah sure, you want to go outside?" zach nodded as the two made their way out.
                          
once they were outside they sat on some lounge chairs delilah then spoke up.
                          
"so what's up?" she asked.
                          
"i'm sorry" 
                          
delilah did a double take, "what?"
                          
"i'm sorry for blowing you off, for not being there for you when you talked to your parents, i'm sorry for being a total asshole about it too when i went to talk to you about it the first time. i'm just- i'm sorry for it all" zach looked right at her hoping she could tell it was genuine. "i miss you dee and seeing you all the time and talking to you, it sucks how attached i got to you fool"
                          
delilah laughed making zach relax and taking it as a good sign. "i miss you too z, and it's okay i forgive you. i'm also sorry though"
                          
"why are you sorry?" 
                          
"it's not like i was the best at talking to you about how i was feeling" delilah started.
                          
"it's okay though i wasn't either" zach shrugged.
                          
"but i also um— i took jaden to the park" she admitted making zach's heart stop for a second. even though he knew that, her admitting it hit him hard.
                          
"why uh- why?" zach stammered.
                          
"i actually don't know, i thought it would be a good distraction from you i guess? but it just made me feel worse" delilah sighed. "he wasn't you, i regretted taking him there immediately"
                          
"but isn't he like your boyfriend" zach tilted his head. "well i know he's not but you guys are together in a sense"
                          
"yeah but that's our spot and i shouldn't have taken him there, and for that i'm sorry" delilah told him.
                          
"our spot, i like that" zach smiled. "it's a step up from your spot" 
                          
delilah then flashed back to when they first met which made her laugh as she nudged his shoulder. "oh shut up"
                          
zach laughed with her for a while until they quieted down. "so... how's things with mr. model going?"
                          
"mr. model?" delilah questioned as a laugh escaped her lips.
                          
"is he not a model?" zach asked.
                          
"oh no he is i just didn't expect that name" she shook her head. "but things are going i guess"
                          
"you guess?" the boy perked up. "why aren't you sure?" 
                          
"i don't really seeing it going anywhere, i mean if it does and maybe it's too early to tell then we'll be together but right now i'm still waiting for my special someone" delilah told him.
                          
"so you think it could end soon?" zach pressed.
                          
"i do yeah" delilah said looking at him in his eyes not realizing how close they'd gotten to each other. "um we should get back inside"
                          
"yeah we should" zach said as they both stood walking in with smiles on their faces making their friends happy, but not jaden.
                          
zach didn't care about the glares he'd gotten from jaden that night, he'd gotten delilah back, and in delilah's eyes jaden was only temporary.
                          
which made zach patient, waiting for his turn except he knew he wouldn't be so temporary.
