You Belong With Me (AFTR Book 2)

Bonus Chapter

Bonus Chapter - Zach's POV

"You have the worst beer," I said, as I stared into Jesse's refrigerator.

"You have the worst taste," he countered, reaching over me and grabbing a Coors Light.

"Who the fuck drinks this?"

He took a swig just to piss me off.

I angrily grabbed a coke, because I can't stand the taste of Coors, especially Coors Light. I pulled out the package of fresh grapes, tossing one in the air and catching it in my mouth.

"Do you just come over here to insult me and eat my food?" Jesse asked, now sitting on a bar stool at the kitchen counter.

"Pretty much," I agreed, tossing another grape into the air and catching it in my mouth. "How're things with you and Sydney?"

He sighed, taking another swig of beer.

"That bad, huh?'

"She's still at your house, isn't she?" he asked, quietly.

"Yeah," I agreed, taking a sip of my coke. "But I thought you guys started counseling."

"We did," he agreed, with a sigh. "This all just fucking sucks."

I shook my head, looking out the window.

I couldn't imagine losing Katelyn.

"Are you still coming with me on Friday?" I asked, looking back over at Jesse.

"Yeah," he agreed. "What better things do I have to do at 8 AM?"

I laughed, tossing another grape up into the air and catching it in my mouth.

"Have you told Katelyn about anything yet?" Jesse asked me.

I knew he was referring to what happened yesterday, and then my appointment with my Neurologist on Friday because of it.

"Not exactly."

He clicked his tongue, shaking his head at me.

"She has a lot on her plate right now," I defended, tossing another grape into the air and catching it. "With her starting spot on the team and Sydney and the other thing, I just thought I'd let things cool down."

"You mean the baby thing?"

I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, the baby thing."

"You guys still can't get pregnant?"

"It's not exactly that simple."

"Well it's not rocket science."

I threw a grape at his head.

"I'm joking," Jesse defended, holding up his hands in mock surrender as he laughed. "Did you try the thing?"

"I am not talking about this with you."

"Erectile dysfunction-"

This time I threw the entire bag of grapes at his head.

"Okay, okay," Jesse conceded, still laughing. "I'll stop."

Fuck Epilepsy and it's long-term side effects.

"But back to the other thing," Jesse said, taking a grap for himself. "You need to tell her about it before she hears it in the tabloids."

"Nobody believes the tabloids."

"I thought Katelyn was into that stuff."

"She stopped reading it after the whole Zach Is Dead thing."
