Screaming In The Darkness - Chapter 13
There's nothing I can say to you
Nothing I could ever do to make you see
What you mean to me
All the pain the tears they cry
Still you never said goodbye and now I know how far you'd go
I know I let you down but it's now like that now
This time I'll never let you go
A week had gone by quickly and life had gone back to somewhat normal.
David and Starla didn't hang around much anymore, having to return to work. Dylan had gone back to school, too. Same happened with the Hudgens'.
Except for one.
Vanessa spent days with her boyfriend, making sure everything was alright and he wasn't bored or anything.
But after a week it was time to leave the hospital and go home.
The rest of the Efrons were there as well. It was the fact that Zac hadn't left the building for a week now and someone had leaked the word to press. So now there was like hundreds of paparazzies outside.
But thankfully they were at the front doors. Zac was going to use the backdoor where doctors and nurses came to work.
I will be all that you want and get myself together
Cause you keep me from falling apart
All my life I'll be with you forever
To get you through the day and make everything OK
Zac was walking down the hallway with his right hand around Vanessa. Starla and David were coming after them, holding their bags.
They got near the front door, hoping for the best.
Zac took a deep breath as Vanessa pushed the door open.
They walked quickly to the car, afraid someone would recognize them.
They got it and David drove away.
The Efrons were talking by the front door when the paparazzies showed up.
Starla and David left them and Zac and Vanessa got into her apartment and locked the door.
They went into the living room and went to sit on the couch, curling against each other.
After a while Vanessa looked up and found Zac staring at her.
''What?'' Vanessa asked.
''It's just...'' Zac started, trying to find the right words, ''for how long have we been dating?''
''A few years...'' Vanessa answered. ''Depends on who you're asking.''
''You,'' Zac said. ''But don't you think it's time to take another step forward?''
''A big step?'' Vanessa asked, wondering where this was going.
''A big step,'' Zac said. ''I'm already spending half my time in your house so why don't we just move in together?''
A smile rose on Vanessa's face.
''You know,'' Zac continued, ''ever since this whole thing happened I've been thinking that I want to live with you. I don't want to be alone in that big apartment. I wanna have someone to come home to.''
''And you will have,'' Vanessa said, kissing him. ''You will have.''
After a while they departed and gazed into each other's eyes.
''Now, how about we cook you something better than the crap you had at the hospital?'' Vanessa asked, getting up and heading for the kitchen.
''Sounds like a heaven,'' Zac smiled, following his girlfriend.
I thought that I had everything, I didn't know what life could bring
But now I see honestly
You're the one thing I got right
The only one I let inside
Now I can breathe 'cause you're here with me
And if I let you down I'll turn it all around
Cause I would never let you go
You think your life is picture perfect by the look of it.
Everyday there's some war going on in some far away place but it doesn't really affect you.
Every day you see the flowers blossom in the park and you think they are beautiful.
Everyday you see the clouds in the clear blue sky and you think they are there for a reason.
Everyday you see your loved ones and you can't thank God enough for sending them to you.
Everyday there's some bad guy after innocent people.
