"Look at that girl over there, she's hot right?" Jonah asked, nudging me in the ribs as I looked up from my phone.  He sat on my right as I was watching a video on how a man saved a puppy from a storm drain but my attention was quickly focused on a petite, blonde girl who stood with her friends laughing, looking at songs available to play on the jukebox.

Sometimes I feel like he knew I had a crush on him and said shit like that to piss me off.

"She's pretty." I mumbled, annoyed that he felt that need to say that to me, when he could of said it to the four other boys that surrounded us. We sat at a retro diner, like ones you would see in the movies. This place had become a favorite of ours through our time being in LA.

"Who's pretty?" Zach peeped up from my left side, interrupting our conversation and gaining the attention of all the boys.

"That blonde girl over there. Should I go talk to her?" Jonah wondered, making the boys smile but made me roll my eyes. Corbyn watched my agitated behavior and let out a snicker. He was pretty much the only one who caught onto my crush on Jonah and constantly liked to fuck with me about it.

"What are you laughing about Corbyn?" Jack pressed, looking at Corbyn along with the other boys that sat at the large booth with us.

I shot Corbyn a look and he quickly caught on to what I was saying indirectly.

"Oh it's nothing... Christina just texted me something funny." He trailed off and the boys nodded, proceeding with the conversation about Jonah's recent interest in the blonde.

"I'll be right back, watch and learn boys." Jonah interjected, popping up out of the booth and slowly striding over to the group of girls near the front of the diner. Jealously flooded through my body and I wanted to leave the scene, not in the mood to watch Jonah flirt with some girl who would most likely fall for him on the spot.

"I bet you Jonah is gonna get her number." Zach mentioned to me, in which I let out an uninterested nod in respond, along with an eye roll. Jack and Daniel seemed to notice my weird behavior because they looked at me with a concerned.

"What's wrong Y/n? Are you okay?" Daniel asked me, looking into my eyes for any sign of sickness or pain.

"I'm fine." I mumbled, looking back towards the girl clutching onto Jonah's forearm with a smile. I felt an empty feeling in the pit of my stomach but I tried to push it away. Jonah was always like this, he flirted with girls any time he could've because he knew they would fall for him.

"No you're not. You're jealous because Jonah is over there trying to bone that girl." Zach snickered from beside me and anger filled my veins. Not in the mood to deal with Zach's bullshit anymore, I shoved him out of the booth aggressively. He landed on the floor with a dull thud and looked up at me with an angry look.

"Yo Y/n what the fuck!" Zach shouted, standing up off the floor, brushing off his jeans. I glanced at the table and saw the boys sitting there with their jaws dropped. I didn't appreciate Zach's disgusting comment and now my secret crush on Jonah had definitely been put out there.

"I'm gonna go..." I trailed off, grabbing my purse and standing up, ready to walk out of the diner.

It seemed as if Jonah had the perfect timing when he ran up to us all giddy. "I got her number guys! I'm the ma-, Zach why do you look pissed off?" Jonah asked, mildly confused, exchanging glances with the table for an answer.

Daniel and Corbyn looked out the window and Jack stared down at his milkshake. No one dared to answer Jonah until Zach was clearly fed up and spoke up, with agitation.

"I'll tell you why... Y/n wants you really bad. She's fucking jealous because you always flirt with other girls in front of her face. I don't know if you're clueless to it but you don't seem to notice she's literally in love with you."

This was probably the worst thing that could have happened, I felt my eyes widen and my throat become dry. Our friendship would be ruined forever.

"You're an asshole Z..." Corbyn mumbled, facepalming himself in disbelief.

I couldn't believe Zach had the balls to be so rude and expose me like that but clearly he didn't care. Zach had no place to say that but he just looked at me with no sign of regret.

I eyed the table and saw the glass of water sitting in front of Daniel. Without hesitation, I grabbed the glass and threw the water on Zach, his clothes instantly becoming drenched.

"Y/n! What are you doing?!" Jonah shouted at me, in which I winced. He had never yelled at me and it was definitely something I did not want to get used to. He was mad.

I went to say something, but no words came out of my mouth, I gulped and tried to come up with an apology or an excuse but everything Zach claimed was true.

"I...I'm sorry. I have to go." I stuttered out, ignoring the stares from people as I stormed out of the diner. I kept my head down just so the boys didn't notice the streams of tears running down my face.

I'm not sure who that person even was out there. Why would I be so mean to Zach? He's like my brother and I felt genuinely guilty for doing such unkind acts to him.

As I was finally out of the diner, I realized I came here with Daniel, silently cursing myself for having no ride home.

I decided to sit on the bench outside of the diner and text my friend Nick for a ride home. The last thing I wanted to do was go in there and see Zach or Jonah, after all of the drama that had just occurred.

"What was that all about?" A male voice shouted, coming from behind me, laced with concern.

I turned towards the door of the diner only to find Jonah staring at me, his arms folded. I wiped the tears from my eyes, not wanting to look upset over him but he saw right through me.

"It's nothing Jonah. Let's just drop it." I spoke to him, sounding calm even though I felt otherwise.

"It's not nothing. I've never seen you so mad. Is what Zach said true?" He pressed, getting closer to me.

How was I supposed to answer that? I can't lie to him, it would just cause more problems.

“Yeah but listen, I didn’t want it to come out this way. I’m not trying to cause any problems and I don’t want our friendship ruined.” I pleaded, looking at him with despair painted across my face.

He frowned and pulled me in for a hug, grabbing my waist tightly. “Why would that ruin our friendship?”

“The feelings are clearly one sided and that’ll kill me to see you go around and mess with all these girls.” I sobbed, my tears leaking out of my eyes once again.

“Who said they’re one sided?” Jonah softly asked, grabbing my face with both of his hands and staring into my eyes.

“I just figured...” I began to explain why I had felt the feelings weren’t mutual but I was quickly cut off with a pair of lips upon my own. With no hesitation, I kissed back Jonah, a feeling of relief wash over me.

A few seconds later, we pulled away, and I couldn’t help but express a small smile at him.

“I’ll stop flirting with the girls. I just want you to see that I care about you and I want something out of this. You mean more to me than anything and I don’t want you to forget that. Now please, let’s leave so I can hear Zach stop bitching about his wet clothes.” Jonah spoke, a chuckle escaping his mouth at the end. He pulled me into his side and we walked back into the diner to get the rest of the boys.

I was happy that our relationship as friends could be something more now... but I was more happy that I didn’t have to hide my feelings anymore.

Jack's POV:

The boys accompanied me as we walked into the Zumiez in the mall in search of a new skateboard deck for myself.

Zach decided to be stupid and throw mine in the pool, completely damaging the board. It wasn't just randomly though, we had gotten into a fight because he said I had caused us to 'lose our duo in Fortnite', which is total bs.

As we strolled in, my eyes immediately scanned the wall of skateboard decks in the back of the store, walking away from my friends.

Jonah and Corbyn looked at the shoes on the wall and Daniel and Zach browsed through the Champion shirts folded on display.

I glanced up and down the rows of skateboard decks, seeing colorful decks and ornate patterns printed on the back of them.

"Do you need any help?" A soft voice interrupted my thoughts and I peered to where the noise was coming from. Turning around, I laid my eyes upon one of the most beautiful girls I had seen in my life.

She wore a white Thrasher sweatshirt with denim shorts and paired with pink vans. Her hair was down and she fumbled with the name tag on her which read, 'Y/n.'

I realized I was too busy staring at her and spat out an answer so I didn't seem like a weirdo, "U-uh I'm good. Thanks." I mumbled and she nodded with a smile. Jack, why do you sound like an idiot?

"Okay. Just let me know if I can help you with anything." She answered with a grin, strolling away back to her spot at the register to help a customer.

I got mad at myself considering I didn't make conversation with her whatsoever, which was pretty strange for me. I never had any trouble flirting with girls but today this one had me tongue tied.

"Jack, did you find a good one?" Zach asked, coming into my view from behind me. He had a red champion hoodie in his hands.

"No... I got distracted." I mumbled, instantly regretting it as the words came out of my mouth. Zach loved to instigate and embarrass me whenever he had the chance.

"Distracted by what? A girl?" Zach smirked nudging me in the rib cage and I rolled my eyes.

"No." My answer was frank and Z could clearly see right through me. I peered around the room for Y/n and saw her talking to Jonah with a smile. Of course she was talking to Jonah. I subconsciously let out a small frown.

"It's that girl that works here, isn't it?" Zach pestered, gesturing to the beautiful girl who chatted with my friend.

"She's pretty right?" I beamed, staring at her dreamily and Zach burst out laughing.

"Yeah she's hot. Did you talk to her?" Zach wondered, also watching Jonah flirt with my crush.

"Barely. I don't think I can do this one Zach. Jonah's already on it." I sadly spoke, seeing how Jonah leaned over the counter speaking to her with a smirk on his face. She blushed as he spoke to her.

"What? Just cause Jonah is flirting with her doesn't mean anything, talk to her." Zach demanded, sounding baffled that I'd let Jonah keep talking her up.

"Nah dude, it's okay." I mumbled giving him a half smile. Secretly, I felt defeated. I never had problems with flirting with girls but for some reason I just felt insecure and not sure I would be able to face rejection from one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen.

Zach looked at me quizzically and shrugged, going back to the front of the store. My focus shifted back to the decks in front of me, searching for a nice one. A few moments went by before I felt a tap on my shoulder. I figured it was Zach being annoying about the whole situation so I turned around with an eye roll.

"Zach stop bugging me ab-" I quickly cut off what I was going to say when I saw Y/n in front of me smiling.

"Your friend told me you needed some help finding a new deck. Were you too scared to talk to me? I'm not mean I promise." She giggled looking back at Zach who watched the whole conversation with a smirk painted on his face.

"I-I'm not scared. You were busy." I mumbled, not sure exactly where to go with the conversation.

"Well looks like I'm not busy right now. What's your name?" She asked peering straight into my eyes with a smile on her face.

"It's Jack. Yours is Y/n?" I questioned, pointing down to her name tag so I didn't look like a stalker.

"That's me...Jack I have a question for you." She pondered, tilting her head to the side.

"What's your question?" I answered, confused thoughts filling my mind. What did I do?

"Do you- I was wondering if you wanna...exchange numbers?" She shyly asked, not making eye contact with me. Her cheeks turned pink and I could tell she was nervous.

"Yes." I may have answered too quickly but I didn't care. I can't believe someone like her would want my number.

"Great." She looked around the room to make sure her manager wasn't watching and she handed me her phone, as I gave her mine. We exchanged information and she took her phone back with ease.

"You're beautiful, I know that's kinda weird since we just met but I thought I would let you know." I nervously told her, feeling my palms sweat slightly. In the corner of my eye, Zach stood there with a stupid grin on his face, looking like he was up to something.

"That's so sweet of you, you're very cute too. I wouldn't usually ask an attractive guy for his number but your friend Zach over there told me you were interested in me." She confessed, her smile never leaving her face.

Zach. What a fucking dipshit.

"He's so stupid but I'm glad he did." I chuckled along with her.

"Yeah, No. Regrets." She spoke, emphasizing the word 'no.'

"Y/n can you get back to work and stop flirting with our customers!" Her manager, I assume, shouted out to her.

Y/n blushed profusely and nodded, quickly waving bye to me and running to the front of the store, helping a young girl.

After she was far enough away from me, Zach ran up to me with the same dumb look on his face.

"You're welcome Jack." He called out to me, raising an eyebrow. He patted himself on the back cockily.

"Normally, I would kill you for doing something like that but I'm so glad you did." I truthfully told him, thanking him.

"Yeah I know I know. I'm the best wingman ever." Zach spoke cracking his knuckles dramatically.

Request: 94 and Zach please?

This whole imagine is Zach's POV:

The rain pounded against my bedroom window. The room was dark and the blankets on my bed remained a mess. The house was pretty quiet, for once.

The guys had all went out for dinner but I stayed in for the night. Y/n hadn't talked to me all day which was super weird considering her and I were basically attached at the hip.

I left her a few calls and a few messages because I didn't wanna be that clingy boyfriend that spams their girlfriend's phone. I figured she was just at work or maybe was having fun with her friends.

My thoughts were quickly interrupted when I heard a faint knocking on my bedroom door.

"Zach?"

I know my girl's voice anywhere and there she was, awaiting outside my bedroom door.

I hopped out of my bed with a smile on my face and ran to my door.

"Hi baby." I peeped opening my door but my smile immediately faded when I saw the stream of tears running down Y/n's face. "What's wrong?" I asked grabbing her hands and leading her over to sit on my bed with me.

"Z-Zach." She cried out taking a deep breathe,

"Can you tell me something?" The mascara that she wore slightly ran down her face, and her eyebrows furrowed. I've never seen something so heartbreaking.

"What's wrong? Did someone hurt you?" I felt sick to my stomach as I questioned her, seeing her like this made me want to cry.

"Zach, do you love me?" She whispered, looking out my bedroom window, away from me.

Of course I do. I love you so much.

The words filled my mind but I felt myself not able to say them. As hard as I tried I couldn't help myself but to mumble, "No..."

She tried her hardest to choke back more sobs but slowly nodded standing up.

"But why? I love you so much Zach. Is there anything I can do? Why don't you love me?" She cried, grabbing my face and staring into my eyes.

I just wanted to kiss her and say "I love you." But for some reason the words didn't come out of my mouth.

"I don't know, just leave me alone Y/n." I spat out, gently pushing her off of me and looking away from her gaze.

Why the fuck was I acting like this? I didn't mean anything I said, snap out of it Zach.

"Okay Zach, I'm sorry I wasted your time." Y/n cried out, tears spilling down her face onto my Champion sweatshirt that she wore.

I could feel my heartbreaking, why was I acting like a dick? I would never say this shit to her ever, she was my girl through thick and thin.

•••

I woke up and felt my heart beating out of my chest. The nightmares had reoccurred all week.

I don't know why the dream was about me not being able to say "I love you" considering I constantly told her.

I wiped the sweat off my forehead with the collar of my sweatshirt, trying to calm my uneasy state.

My room remained silent, while downstairs I heard the guys laughing about something with Y/n.

I felt empty and just felt like she didn't know how much I loved her, which hurt me badly considering she was my world.

Anxiously slipping out of my room, I quietly walked down the stairs, the sounds of voices becoming louder and louder.

"Aw look! The baby is awake!" Jonah called out with a joking tone and earned laughs from the whole table of the guys and my girlfriend, Y/n.

"Ha ha very funny, Jonah." I mumbled with an eye roll, I was already in a bad mood and wasn't feeling any extra side comments coming my way.

"What's got your panties in a twist?" Corbyn joked, nudging me in the side with his elbow and I harshly shoved him off of me. He flew into the edge of our kitchen table, knocking a glass off the top. The colored glass fell to the floor with a crash and shards of glass scattered across the linoleum floor.

"Zach! Dude what the hell!?" Jack shouted, throwing his arms up glancing down at the floor and Corbyn rubbing his hip from hitting the corner of the table, he gave me a dirty look.

"Don't move, I'll clean up the glass." Y/n spoke, faintly moving around it but I quickly stopped her.

"No you don't move. I don't want you getting hurt." I softly spoke to her, walking around her going to get the dustpan and broom from the closet in the hallway.

As I distanced myself from the accident that just happened, I heard the soft conversation from the boys and my girlfriend.

"What was that all about?" Daniel asked, his voice laced with worry.

"I don't know. He's been so grumpy every time he wakes up, kid needs to fucking rest more." Corbyn groaned, obviously annoyed that I aggressively shoved him into our table.

"Go talk to your boyfriend. He seems like he needs someone." Jonah spoke to Y/n and then I heard footsteps approaching me.

"Zach, honey what's wrong?" Y/n asked with her eyebrows furrowed, she wrapped her arms around my waist, closing the space in between us.

I relaxed into her touch and looked at her,

" I had a bad dream again."

Y/n knew about my reoccurring nightmares but she never knew what they were about.

"Babe, why didn't you tell me sooner? Do you wanna talk about it?" She frowned, her eyes softening as her face remained a few inches from mine.

"I-... Well you were there and I know this sounds crazy but you asked me if I loved you. And for some reason I couldn't say it. But that's so false, so so false. I love you more than anything. It hurts me to think that you would ever believe that I didn't care about you or didn't love you. You mean so much to me and it  pains me that in my dreams you don't believe that." I spoke, stumbling over a few of my words with a shaky voice. I didn't even realize I was crying until a felt a tear run down my cheek.

She smiled but changed her reaction into a pout when she saw me crying.

"Baby, stop crying I'm gonna cry. I love you so so much and you know that." She said pulling me into a sentimental kiss. I didn't spend any time to hesitate and kissed her back with ease, resting my hands on her lower back.

I felt beyond relieved by her comment and it was nice to know that those bad dreams were nightmares that would never become reality.
