Zacharias' POV:

She looked so amazed at my car. aha.

"You're car is so awesome Zacharias!" she told me while jumping up and down excitedly. She's so childish. The most childish 17-year old girl I ever met! i thought as I opened the door for her.

"Hey chill babe!" I told her and she stopped jumping. She looked down to her feet. Wait what?

"I'm sorry" she whispered sadly. I cupped her face and made her to look up at me in the eyes. "It's just because this was the first time I've seen a car like this. I didn't meant to overreact" she says with tears in her eyes. Damn it!

"You're so childish!" I told her and laughed. I planted a kissed on her forehead,  I just felt a connection between me and her that I've never had with any other girl before.

(Lea Laurence was actually my first kiss. Even though I'm already seventeen, I've never been involved in such relationships. Know why? Because I don't felt something special to any girl in this school even for Mitch Evans)

"Am not!" she yelled at me. Her cheeks turned more red. I opened the door for her smiling.

"Ok you're not. But get in the car" I gave up on starting n argument with her.

"Yes sir!" she saluted to me sarcastically, I just chuckled. then hopped in the car. She's really unique, special, different than any other girl EVER!..

"Are you really 17?" i asked her when I started the engine and started to drive.

"Not yet. I'm still 16, but I'm turning 17 this December. Why?" she questions.

"You act like a 5-year old" I told her and laughed. She stuck out her tongue at me like a 5 year old would.

"Told you I'm not!" she says cockily.

"Yes you are" I teased her. She's so cute whenever she's pissed off.

"I'm not! I don't wanna be-"

"Why?" I cut her there. Why doesn't she wants to? Maybe she's conscious to what other people think about her?

"I hate to be. Everything changes. I can't be childish forever. It just makes me more dependent to those who-" she stopped. Her face saddened. Her aura seems to change. I can't feel her joy right now. All I felt at the atmosphere was loneliness.

"But I like you being childish! Never grow up wil ya?" i told her and try to make my voice a little bit funny I didn't get a response of her. Instead she started to stare outside the window.

Five minutes of silence passed. I saw a playground half-emptied. I smiled to myself as a plan came to my mind.

"Let's go in the park! I missed going there!" i told her as I parked my car.

"I'll be late for work" she said simply.

"Please! Just five minutes! I just wanted to come so badly!" I pleaded and put on the puppy-dog eyes

"Fine but I'll stay for only five minutes"

"Yep promise! Thank you!" I hug her and I immediately got out of the car. I run at the nearest swing. Seriously, I missed going here. I've never been in this place since I was 9 or 11 years old? maybe even longer? .................

She took a sit at the swing beside me. I thought she's just staring above but I saw tears in her eyes. What is she doing? Does she think she can prevent her tears to fall down when she look up?

Some of the kids are already going home and there's only 3 kids left with their moms. I stared at her and we both didn't noticed the time. I wanted to tell her something but I don't have the courage to. I've just knew her personally today but I felt really attached to her.

I don't know how many minutes passed but the playground is now empty except for the two of us. Tears were still in her eyes, not yet falling to her face. That's when I decided to break the silent.

"Why don't you let those tears to fall?" I say playfully.

"I don't want to. I can't take the pain. I don't wanna feel alone" she answered not taking her eyes away at the sky. I stood up and walk towards her. I just stand there for a few seconds until i kneel down then hug her.

"I'm here. You wouldn't be alone anymore" I say but she didn't move.

"I promise that I'll never leave you. Now, let those tears fall down" that's just when she rest her head at my shoulder and cried quietly. You wouldn't hear any sobs from her. I just felt that my shoulder was wet.

"My parents died almost two years ago" she whispered. You can say that she's really hurt by the way her voice sounds. I wanna answer that it's ok but come to think of it, what's ok when your both parents died? Nothing, right? Instead, everyone will feel miserable.

"And I was bullied everyday of my life" she continued.

"Yeah I know and I'm sorry I didn't help you much earlier"

"Don't apologize. Its not your obligation to help me out. I should thank you, and I'm the one who should apologize. I got you into a big trouble. Could I tell you a secret?" she asked then looked at me. Her eyes bulged and the spark I see in it earlier were gone. She back up a little so I'm nit hugging her anymore.

"Of course. I promise I won't tell anyone" I answered and give her a reassuring smile

"I already commited suicide twice and my favorite hobby was to cut my arm" she said simply then put off her watch and bracelets in both of her arms. She showed me her scars. I became speechless. My brain is malfunctioning at that moment.

"You see. Now you know what kind of a girl you just helped" tears still falling down from her grayish blue eyes.

"It's not your fault" and I hug her again. Now I heard her sob. She didn't cry quietly this time.

I don't know what time is it but it's already dark and she's still crying. My knee kinda hurt. Thank goodness she stop then look above.

"Hey it's already dark! I didn't go to work! Sh*t!" she stand up immediately and pulled me with her

"Slow down Lea!" she tripped herself but I've got a nice working reflexes that's why I caught her just in time

"Thank you"

"I told you to slow down"

"I'm sorry" she said and straightening herself up. That's when I decided to carry her, bridal style

"Zacharias put me down"

"No"

"I'm heavy!"

"Nah, you're light as a feather"

"You're crazy" she let me to carry her to the car. I saw her pouting. I put her down to the seat and I've got into the car.

"Turn on the radio" she demanded. She's really bossy xD

"Yes ma'am"

The song 'Passenger Seat' was playing. It just started. I saw her listening and that's when in decided to sing along.

I look at her and have to smile

As we go driving for a while

Her hair blowing in the open window of my car

And as we go the traffic lights

Watch them glimmer in her eyes

In the darkness of the evening

And I’ve got all that I need

Right here in the passenger seat

Oh and I can’t keep my eyes on the road

Knowing that she’s inches from me

We stop to get something to drink

My mind clouds and I can’t think

Scared to death to say i love her

Then a moon peeks from the clouds

Hear my heart that beats so loud

Try to tell her simply

( She sing along with me. Now I see again those sparkles in her eyes )

That I’ve got all the I need

Right here in the passenger seat

Oh and I can’t keep my eyes on the road

Knowing that she’s inches from me

Oh and I’ve got all the I need

Right here in the passenger seat

Oh and I can’t keep my eyes on the road

Knowing that she’s inches from me

Oh and I know this love grow

Oh I’ve got all that I need

Right here in the passenger seat

Oh and I can’t keep my eyes on the road

Knowing that she’s inches from me

And I’ve got all that I need

Right here in the passenger seat

Oh and I can’t keep my eyes on the road

Knowing that she’s inches from me

And I’ve got all that I need

Right here in the passenger seat

Oh and I can’t keep my eyes on the road

Knowing that she’s inches from me

And I’ve got all that I need

Right here in the passenger seat

( Thse Song Ended )

"You have a beautiful voice Zacharias!" she looked shocked

"Call me Zac. Yeah I know. And so does you"

"Am not!"

"Why do you always deny who you are?"

"What do you mean?"

"Like you're denying you also have an amazing voice"

"Nah. I'm just being humble" she answered me and laughed hilariously.
