Never Meant To Fall • Zach Herron

39

Zach's P. O. V.

"David, can I please fly back home for like two days?" I asked.

"What? Why?"

"Tomorrow's October 7th. It's Liza's and my one year anniversary tomorrow."

"We have a meet up on the 9th."

"I know. I'll fly out tomorrow and then come back Saturday. Please."

"Okay, sure. I'll buy your ticket."

"Thank you so much!"

I went and packed a bag. I called Liza's dad to tell him I was coming.

"I wanna surprise Liza for our one year anniversary."

"Okay, what time will you get here?"

"I'm flying in tomorrow and my plane should land about four. My mom can come pick me up and I can surprise Liza when she gets home from rehearsal."

"Okay. I'll leave a key in the flower pot."

"Great. I'll see you tomorrow then."

"Okay. Oh, and congratulations on the song."

"Thank you, we're really proud of it."

"You should be. I was talking to Jonah earlier, it's really good."

"Thank you."

"I'll see you tomorrow."

"Okay. Bye."

"You're all set Zach," David said.

"Thanks David!"

I landed in the airport and found my way to the baggage claim.

"Zach Herron?" I turned and saw a girl, maybe 12 years old, standing behind me.

"Hi."

"Oh my gosh, hi. Can I get a picture?"

"Yeah of course." I smiled for a picture.

"I love you so much. And the guys. I've been following Corbyn since he was broadcasting."

"Aww, I love you too. And Corbyn would say the same if he was here."

"Can I get a video for my friend?"

"Yeah, sure. This is crazy." I laughed. I didn't think anyone would recognize me.

"Her name's Veronica."

"Hey Veronica! I love you so much, thank you for supporting the guys and I we really appreciate it. Yeah, I love you!"

"Ahh! Thank you so much." She hugged me, but then her mom called her name.

"Bye." I smiled and she walked away.

I grabbed my bag then walked outside. I called my mom and soon she pulled up in front.

"Hey," I said.

"Hi." She leaned across the seat and hugged me.

"I'm so proud of you."

"Thanks mom."

We talked while she drove me to Liza's house.

"I'll come home later, okay?"

"Okay. Reese and Ryan will be home later too."

"Great. Thanks mom."

"No problem. I love you."

"I love you too."
