Fake • Zach Herron

F O U R

My house is always cold so I decided I'd rap up a bit so this was hopefully good enough. then I went to go check on Elijah he was just sat on his bed

"you okay el?" I asked
he shot his head up "I dont know what to wear"
I laughed and opened his closet, I grabbed a pair of skinny jeans and a nice little top then handed it to him
"oh thank you!" he hugged me
"okay, your welcome, now get dressed" I tapped his head and walked out shutting the door behind me, I stood outside to wait for him to check on him. as I was Cooper walked out of him room in clothes he wouldn't normally never wear - normal jeans and a suit top

"does this look alright?" he spun around
"you look fine coop" I laughed
"okay, thanks, call me when they get here"
I nodded and turned to open Elijah's door so I could check on him but he opened it before I could. the outfit I picked look nice on him but his hair was a bit messy
"can you help me with my hair?" he asked
"of course" I went to grab the styling gel from the bathroom and then went back to him, I ran my fingers through his hair with out product then with, after a few tries I got a nice style

"there you go! perfect" I hugged him before sending him over to nana, I looked in the hallway mirror and saw my hair was a bit messy so I went to my room to sort it out. after I tidied it up I sat on my bed and just thought for a while... what do I get out of this fake relationship? Zach gets Alexis back, but then what will I get? a fake broken heart? - I really need to talk to Zach about this. anyway I stood up from my bed and ran my hand though my hair perfecting It, seconds later I heard the doorbell go off, so I ran to Coopers room
"coop, they are all here" I said then walked down the hall way and into the kitchen

"oh you look lovely Jessica" Myta said, I saw everyone hugging and stuff but then I saw Zach standing next to her smiling, with his hands in his pockets, his brown hair was like normal - kinda messy at the top of his head, he was wearing a nice t-shirts and some skinny jeans - I couldn't help but look at him.

"close your mouth before you catch flies" cooper said as he stood next to me hitting me
"oh shut it coop" I hissed as he laughed
"ey jess when did you get so tall? get in these arms" Josh, zachs dad said, I never really get to see him hes normally working, but I still went up to him and hugged him, after a while he held me out at arms length "ugh your so big now" he laughed
"thanks... I guess" I laughed, I spoke to him, mtya and Kristin for a while before jack waved me over to go talk to him ryan and cooper, I excused myself and went to talk to them - as we were talking Zach appeared next to me

"you look pretty" he smiled
"thanks" I smiled back "you look... somewhat good" I laughed
"oh come on you know I look good" he smirked, I didn't answer "you can admit it" he lightly pushed me with his elbow, I nodded my head no and stuck my tongue out at him, just as he was about to say something Josh came back around to us.
"you know I cant express enough how much these lot have grown over the years. come on look at these two" he was looking directly at me and Zach as Zach put his arm around me and flashed a cheeky smile
"wheres the girl who would tackle Zach into mud puddles" he laughed
"ah you can tackle me anywhere love. but i'd just prefer in bed" Zach winked at me and I elbowed him hard in the stomach
"ah she is still there... somewhere" Nana said
"oh I cant im going to cry they have all grown so much!" Kristin said
we laughed at her
"dont you think they'd be a good couple nana?" cooper asked, I glared at him and he smirked, trying not to laugh
"yes they would!" nana said and clapped her hands together
"ive never noticed but now you brought it up..." myta thought
Kristin snapped her out of it as she gathered all us kids together and took a picture of us all. before I could move away Zach held my arm down and passed his phone to Kristin
"you wouldn't mind taking a picture of us would you?" he asked
"no problem" she smiled and turned the camera on. Zach's arm wrapped around my waist and pulled me closer to him, I then wrapped my arms around him and posed for the picture. then Kristin awed at the picture making everyone but me and Zach gather around her
"they are so cute!" mtya cried out
"oh yeah its like they are in love or something" Jack said and looked at us
"right, Cooper.. Jack cut it out!" I snapped at them causing Zach to chuckle. Kristin handed him his phone back to him and we looked at the picture... it was actually really cute - like we looked like a real couple. when I looked back at his phone he had already set it as his wallpaper, I smiled lightly as he pulled me closer again making me lean my head on his chest - he was texting someone but I couldn't tell who it was. he then slipped his phone back in his pocket and wrapped both his arms around me. and yes he has done this so many times but now it feels different. it actually means something now, not just like a hug from my best friend.
"you want to go to your room?" he asked looking down at me
"eh" I shrugged and began to walk there with him
"i'll shout you" my nana said and I nodded. I let Zach go first because I knew cooper was behind us
"you say one more thing about us, I dare you" I hissed smiling
"ive always liked a good dare" he smirked
"cooper I said id tell, now back the hell off"
"okay fine - party pooper" he stuck his tongue out and walked back into the house . I then walked into my room to find Zach laid on my bed.
"so do you want to do that tackling thing now... or what...?" he smirked at me
"Zach..." I sighed "we need to talk about this" I pointed towards him and then me
"right... what about it?" he patted a spot next to him and I sat there facing him
"you get alexis back from this. what do I get?"
"well you get to make out with me.. no cost. that's and amazing deal" he shrugged
"no its bloody not" I rolled my eyes
"fine - when we are done i'll talk to Crawford for you"
"wait, wow you will?" I asked
"yep. hes always asking about you. bet he likes you" he winked, I wacked him with a pillow
"why didn't you tell me before?" I kept hitting him with the pillow, but he grabbed it from me and hit me back
"hey!" I gasped and grabbed another pillow to hit him. this time I hit him right in the face and laughed, I covered my mouth quickly. we both got off the bed and we hit eachother a few times before I tripped over a cable, knocking into him and falling on the floor.. on top of him. he started to laugh

"whats so funny?" I asked
"your face" he answered
"good one" I rolled my eyes. quickly I realised we were inches apart, he probably realised too. he was looking at my lips then he slowly leaned it. I started to lean it too, our lips were so close together, as we were about to kiss there was a knock at the door, I jumped quickly getting off Zach and sitting next to him

"dinner" josh said, opening and closing the door. Zach and I almost just kissed... like for real... not because of the deal... oh my god...
