Zack gets recruited by Heather to a ride back to town

“Zachary!” Hannah chirped as she and her best friend’s little brother crossed paths by the lake. “You’ve slept there?”

“Yeah,” Zack scratched the back of his neck, still a little overwhelmed every time he talked to the older blonde. “My sister wanted to keep an eye on me.”

“Classic Taylor,” Hannah chuckled before she briefly squeezed his shoulder. “Don’t worry, everything’s gonna be fine.”

Zack raised an eyebrow. “I take you know all about what happened, then?”

Hannah nodded with a faint smile. “Oh yeah, Taylor sent me a text. Caused quite a stir back at your cabin actually,” She told him. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen that many ruffled feathers in one place before.”

At Zack’s look of confusion, the blue-eyed blonde elaborated. “Victoria started badmouthing you, then Heather came to your defense, and suffice to say, she totally shut Vicky up.”

“Wow,” Zack whispered, awed. “Heather really done that?”

“Oh yeah, buddy, never thought I’d see little Heather that way for a guy,” Hannah answered. “She has it bad for you, Zack, you should go for her before someone else does.”

Zack couldn’t help but chuckle at that. ”One more,” He thought. “Thanks, Hannah.”

“No problem,” She smiled warmly at him. “You’re the brother of my best friend, after all those years knowing you, I’ve became quite protective of you as well and I want you to be happy, okay?”

Zack nodded. “Likewise.” He said while returning her smile.

“Alright, we should go now,” Hannah said, making a shooing motion with her hands. “I have a shower to take and you, sir, have a hot brunette cheerleader to dazzle,” She walked a couple of steps before turning around. “Did I mentioned she has big tits?”

Zack laughed. “See you later, Hannah.” He waved to the older blonde as she turned back around and began walking towards her cabin. After he watched her toned ass swaying for a while, Zack turned towards Ravers’ Cabin.

”Here we go.”

He walked up the steps to the deck and entered the cabin shortly after. Just as he crossed the back door, Heather was coming from the hallway to the right. When their blue eyes caught each other, Zack was invaded by the same warm feeling he experienced when he saw the brunette after coming back from the forest the day before.

Zack wondered if it was wrong to feel so good when Victoria was feeling so bad at the same time because of him. ”But gods, I can’t help it!”

Heather smirked. “Zachary Bishop!” She sauntered over to him, wearing a black tank top and jean shorts. “Just the man I wanted to see.”

“Yeah?” He grinned at her. “Why is that?”

“You see, we’re missing a few supplies for the BBQ and I was in need of a nice, strong man who could drive me back to town to get it,” She answered him. “So, think you’re up to the task?”

Zack chuckled. “I most certainly am,” He replied while thinking that maybe getting away for a while in Heather’s company was just what he needed to relax from everything. “Can I take a quick shower first?”

“Sure, I need to change first as well,” Heather nodded. “Meet you back here in, let’s say, twenty minutes?”

“Deal.” Zack agreed.

The two of them waved to each other and then went to their respective bedrooms. Zack was amused to see Kurt was still sleeping like a log at their room as he got his towel and a change of clothes. Stepping back onto the hallway, he crossed the main section of the cabin on his way to the bathroom and was mildly surprised as Brandon got out of it just as he was about to open the door.

“Hey, Zack.” His athlete friend greeted him.

“Hey, man,” Zack replied. “Better now?”

Brandon half-smiled. “Told you I was ok before,” He said. “But yeah, I’m better.”

“That’s great, don’t let it get you down, you hear me?” Zack advised. “Listen, I’ve got to take a shower now, I’ll drive Heather back to town in about twenty minutes, so…”

“Sure, sure,” The football player waved him off to the bathroom. “Go ahead.”

Brandon then observed as his friend entered the bathroom and closed the door behind him. He turned around and walked the short way to his bedroom, the room that he occupied by himself now, after the break up with Ashley. However, as he opened the door, the dark brown-haired young man noticed the room wasn’t empty as he thought it would be.
