How did we end up here??
Face the past
I woke Zack up around noon after I had been up for a few hours. I took me awhile to even get out of bed because the thought of untangling myself from him killed me. I felt really comfortable in his arms and I would stay there forever if I could.
he groaned as i shoved him in his side. he rolled over and smiled at me with his eyes half shut. what a crazy kid i was dating. "Hey, get up loser. it's noon and we have to get aaron in a little over an hour." his face got more serious as if he forgot our plans for the day. he got up and started getting ready. I sat on the side of the bed and watched him walk around and get ready. i started to think about how today would really go. my 29 year old boyfriend meeting my old time best friend. i was about to turn 21 in a month and i didnt even know what i wanted to do for it. i knew i didnt want to get wasted it was never my type of lifestyle.
Zack finished getting ready and we headed over to aarons work. he still worked at his college and was going into his senior year. i was actually really proud of him for staying on track and working so hard this entire time. i knew he could do it but i worried because he basically is the laziest person i know.
I stood outside of the passenger door and i saw aaron walking up to me on his phone. tears immediately started welling up in my eyes. "AARON!!!" i screamed and ran and hugged him basically tackling him and knocking his phone out of his hands.
"THE FUCK AMY!! YOU COULD HAVE SHATTERED MY DAMN PHONE!!" he loved his phone more than anything else he owned lmao.
"UH, nice to see you too asswipe." I said laughing as he gave me a proper hug. his stare immediately shifted behind me and i knew he saw Zack. His eyes widened and me looked at me and smiled. He already approved I knew he did.
"hey, i'm aaron. i like your band a lot. amy was the one who introduced me to you guys. she was hardcore obssesed for as long as ive known her." i immediately hit him and started blushing. zack knew i liked his band but he didnt know i was a hardcore fan back in the day.
"yeah? well i'm glad she has some type of decent music taste." He said grinning at me. he always made fun of my music taste even though he liked a lot of the stuff i do. aaron and him would get along well i knew it. we went and got coffee and then we went back to my apartment.
"wow amy, you have a lot of crap you need to clean up. not that i'm surprised haha." I was always really messy i haven been my entire life. but my house wasn't even that messy!!
"A lot of the mess is mine." Zack said shrugging. he wasn't lying. once we got here we didn't really put our stuff away. especially him. we had only been home for a day anyways.
"you know, i listen to your album all the time. and so does your mom." I got really tense just hearing him bring up my mom. i forgot aaron and my mom had a really good relationship. he was basically her fourth kid. "she really misses you, amy." I glared at him
"well she has a fucked up way of showing it." he started to say something but i immediately cut him off. "You wanna know the last thing she said to me? How could i have a daughter with as fucked up intentions as you. I havent said anything to her since that. She doesnt support my decisions and i wont support her. she hasn't even attempted to contact me. so i honestly don't give a shit. if she really missed me, she would talk to me."
he just shrugged and gave up. he knew me, when i made up my mind he was done. he looked at me and then at zack. shit. i knew where this was going.
"What all does he know?"
"Aaron..." i didn't want his to happen not now. not here. not like this. zack looked at me wiht a really confused look.
"Okay. I get it. you want to wait. its okay. just know that luke has been talking about you a lot. he apparently is really into your music and wants to go to a show. so watch out." i looked at him and he dropped it.
we spent the rest of our time together bullshitting and him getting along with zack perfectly. it was wonderful knowing someone so important to me approved of the person i was really infatuated with.
