Fear •Zack Merrick•

Setting Sun ^04^

Elliott's POV;

I push my way through the doors of the store, making my way out into the chilly air.

Luckily, the attention has died down a bit, and I don't get stopped as much as I used to.

But between being a famous musicians girlfriend, and a famous serial killers daughter, a little is still a lot.

I shook my head to clear the thoughts, and opened my car door, climbing in and putting the bags in the back.

I'm honestly surprised Zack let me go alone. Well, technically he didn't think I was going alone. I may have lied to him a little bit, by saying Anna was going with me, and then asked Anna to cover for me if he asked.

She wasn't that big of a fan, but she understands. And she knows that my mom is behind bars, and that she wouldn't grab me in braud daylight in a crowded place.

I love him with all my heart, but ever since him and the rest of the guys rescued me, he's been refusing to leave my side, 24/7.

Sometimes I just want to be alone.

Not only that, him coming with me wouldn't be good, since I'm getting some last minute things for our date I planned tonight.

We leave in two weeks, so these next couple weeks are gonna be great. I'll make sure of that.

I pull into our driveway after about ten minutes, and notice Cass's car replacing Zack's in the driveway.

I grab the stuff from the back and speedwalk to the door.

She's sitting at our table, a bunch of folders and papers sitting in front of her.

"Cass, sweetie. Your wedding is in 6 months, do you really need to be planning it right now?"

She huffed. "Yes! There's just so much to get done! And everyone's getting taken from me for the next 4 months, and ugh!"

Tears started welling up in her eyes, and I dropped my stuff carefully, running over to her.

"Honey, shh.." I hold onto her while she sobs into my chest. "I know it's hard, love, but we're gonna get through this, alright? Lisa will still be here, and you can skype us pretty much any time, okay?"

She pulls back, and wipes her face, and suddenly there's a smile. Geez, her mood changed fast. Must be the wedding fever.

"You're right. Thanks, Elli. Did you get the stuff for tonight?"

I sigh, looking over at the bags. "I did. I'm just so shit at planning things like this, what if he hates it?"

"Oh hush, you're perfectly fine at it! And I'm sure he'll love it either way."

I glare at her playfully, before grabbing the bags and hiding them behind the couch.

I sit down next to her, just as Jack crashes through the front door.

"What's up, my wonderful ladies?"

Cass and I laugh, before he comes over, setting a hand on both of our shoulders, looking down at the wedding stuff with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Oh no, you better not be planning to propose to Ryan any time soon. There's already 2 weddings, and another proposal in the works, we don't need to add another." Cass spoke up.

"Another proposal? Who's proposing?" I ask. Nobody told me about this.

Her eyes widen slightly, and she stutters over her words for a few seconds, before speaking clearly.
