The story is coming to an end I can feel it but I don't want it to stop but at the same time it needs to end. Thank you, readers who are still joining my ride with Zac and Evan so far.
Very important A/N: If I haven't mentioned it (I think I missed it) the baby is actually Zac's a DNA test proved it. Sorry for any inconvenience.
I was ready. Hair floofy, clothes on. Shoes on too. For the first time in forever, I was ready for school.
Zac and I slept in our respective rooms. After yesterday's draining episode, we all needed some space to recollect ourselves.
Zac's baby was in good hands with mom. "Zac's baby" is gonna be forever weird. I can't cope with it. The love of my life has a baby. A baby I didn't know what are we going to do about and I hated to think of it that way. We were all thinking of it like some sort of inanimate object that we didn't know where to put it or what to do with it. But it's a human soul we're talking about.
Personally, I never really liked babies. They cry a lot, they poop a lot, and all they do is drink milk, which mom went early morning to get some baby formula to feed him. And some diapers to go with the whole having a baby theme. She was good at taking care of lives. I, oh I, I was barely taking care of my cat.
But this baby was different. Not different as you may think. He's not gonna be an angelic peaceful uncrying unpooping pleasant baby just because it's Zac's. But here's the catch. It's Zac's. That small piece of human was a part of someone I loved more than anything. You see my inner struggle?
I did one last check on the mirror, fixed my collar as it was a little to the side, and stepped out of my room. Zac was supposed to be ready too.
I knocked on his door because I respected his privacy. But then he didn't answer me so I walked in.
"Have you no respect for privacy? What if I was doing something I didn't want you to see?" Zac grumbled. He wasn't much of a morning person but who am I to judge?
"Ok first, you don't do drugs," I paused for a second "I hope". He glared at me disapprovingly. "Second, if it's a dick thing, I've already seen it in full glory" there was the face palm I expected.
"Third and lastly, WHY ARE YOU NOT DRESSED YET"
"I'm scared to go"
"We've gone over this. There's nothing to be scared of, and nothing to be ashamed of. Plus you need to set an example for your child, and you can't do that if you don't set an example for yourself first."
"Who are you and what did you do to the asshat I call my lover"
"Awe you consider me as your lover" I gushed.
"Oh shut your face hole and come here" he opened up his arms for me. His mood literally shifted from grumpy to cute and cheesy in a jiffy. I felt proud and somewhat scared of how much I had an effect on him. But he would be much more scared if he knew that I would literally die for him.
He looked at me intensively, and brushed a stray lock of hair off my forehead. It was getting longer. He brushed the back of his hand upon my face.
"what did I do to deserve you in my life?" he asked. He looked at me in awe. He looked at me like I mattered.
"You're gonna lose me if you don't brush your teeth" I chuckled. He didn't really stink, but we didn't have time for his sappy romantic moments because we had school.
"You're horrible. And F Y I, my breath is never bad"
I kissed him. "Sure."
He got up to the bathroom, strutting his small round butt as he went. He was wearing blue boxers and I could swear he wore them blue on purpose just to tease me. To be honest I see him in underwear more than I care to admit.
He freshened up quicker than I had expected, and afterwards he went to his closet, in which I followed to help him pick something quick.
After going through tons of shirts (not really, they were like 4), he picked a hoodie instead, a crimson one with matching converse shoes, along with black jeans.
I noticed that Zac was slowly fading out of the bad boy persona. He doesn't wear leather anymore. I was more than grateful for that.
"Hey I forgot about this!" Zac was looking at something that I didn't see from my position behind him. He then ducked and picked the thing out of a pile of clothes. "This is the best apple juice in the whole damn world" he said and grabbed the cap to open it.
Horror filled my face as memories washed over me.
"DON'T DRINK THAT!" I screamed, snatching the bottle out of his hands before he could even screw it open
"What are you doing? Give it back!"
"No. This is not apple juice" I admitted and went straight to the trashcan in his bathroom.
"It is apple juice I bought it myself"
"It is not apple juice I peed it myself." His horrified expression mirrored mine.
"Do I wanna know why you peed in my juice bottle that was in my closet in my own room?"
Possessive much?
"Trust me you don't wanna know. It's ancient history"
I turned to walk away to the middle of the room but what he said stopped me in my tracks.
"Were you pulling a mean prank on me or something? Did you hate me that much?"
I turned back to him, and he looked as broken as he sounded, oh my God.
"God no! I would never do such thing Zac" I grabbed his head and kissed it then gave him a brief summary of how I ended up peeing in a bottle in the closet.

"He's so hot, man" Lucas whispered to Zac. He was sitting on Zac's left, while Zac was behind me, as always.
"I know" Zac said, shocking me.
"You what?" I whispered to Zac without turning around, but I did push myself backwards a little.
"I mean, like, you know, well yeah he's hot"
"Please tell me you're not having a crush on him too"
"What, nooo. I have you." he paused for a moment, "but if I didn't-"
"Oh my God you guys are sick he's like 10 years older than you"
"Hotness doesn't know age" Lucas said.
I was surprised that Mr.Cliff hasn't hea-
"Something you'd like to share with the rest of the class gentlemen?" Mr. Cliff was looking at us.
No Mr.Cliff we were just discussing how Zac and Lucas think you're extremely hot, you know, the usual. I wanted to say that so bad but that would get us in way more trouble than we could handle.
"Uhh we were just discussing what you were saying about World War II" Lucas tried but everyone laughed.
They all laughed because "We're talking about ancient Egypt and the ruling of Pharaohs" Mr.Cliff explained. To be honest, I laughed too. "Pay attention or I'll send all three of you to the principal's office"
We all shut up after that.
I was proud of Zac. Even though he was hesitant about coming to school, he was coping really well.
For a starters, the whole school seemed to cool down on the whole Scarlet thing. Everyone knew she's a bitch and from what I've heard she always pulls off schemes like that when she wants something she can't have, or her boyfriend can't have. Actually she, herself, knew she was a bitch and she flaunted it.
My guess was that this new Matt wanted team captain, so I told Zac my assumption. He said that he knew that and he knew what he's going to do about it. I was low key scared of what he might do. I didn't want something bad to happen to him and I didn't want him to get involved with a Matt-Scarlet drama.
On a completely different note, my custody session was on Wednesday apparently (yes in the middle of the fucking week) and I was trying so hard not to think about it to keep my cool in front of Zac. He needed me the most right then and I couldn't break. I must not break.
Lunch break was now, but Zac wasn't at our table, again.
"Have you seen him?" I asked Rue, who was eating a salad again.
"Yes I have" she said between bites of lettuce. I waited and waited but she said nothing.
"Well? Are you gonna tell me where is he?"
"You didn't ask?" Rue was really something.
"Well Miss ask-to-be-answered, where is he"
"He had something to do at mom's office"
"Your mom works here?"
"Dude yes she's the vice principal" Lucas who just joined us said. That was some new information.
"SO THAT'S HOW HE SITS BEHIND ME IN EVERY CLASS" I realized way too loudly again. I was starting to feel like mom.
"Duh. I thought he was lame for doing that like please leave the Disney cliché romance on the side bruh" Rue said. She pulled out a hair tie out of nowhere and pulled her red hair in a perfect ponytail.
"Does your hair never rot and fall because of all that dye? Shouldn't it Dye? Get it?"
"Get the fuck out"
"Sorry I had to"
"Do it again and you're banned from sitting with us" something told me that Rue wasn't joking.
"Geez, tough crowd".
I dug into my sandwich, munching on it bite after bite. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw him and my whole body lit up. Every time I see Zac I just fall head over heels like I get the feeling that you get when you see the waiter coming with your food.
If that wasn't true love I don't know what is.
He took a seat next to me and I immediately saw it on his face.
"Oh dear who did this to you?"
