I wake up with arms wrapped around me. Me and Zed must have fallen asleep last night, I'm not complaining though.

I shift around a bit but Zed doesn't wake up. He's so lazy. I roll on top of him and straddle his torso; I smirk to myself. I rest my head on his shoulder and then I start to leave a small trail of kisses up his neck, stopping at the corner of his mouth.

"Mhm" Zed groans as I stop

"Get up, lazy!" I tease

Zed opens his eyes to lock them with mine. His hair is all messed up and his eyes have bags of sleep under them. I giggle at the cute sight in front of me; his lips turning into a smile as he watches me laugh at his morning appearance.

"What's so funny?" Zed ask's with a smile

His morning voice is so hot

"You" I state, still giggling

"Listen, I wanted to ask—"

"Can we talk after I've got changed? I really want to be ready for school so i can spend time actually eating breakfast this morning" I say, sliding out of the covers and walking over to my wardrobe.

"Uhh huh, sure! I mean, I'll see you later" He hesitates

Zed climbs out of my bed and walks towards the door, trying to fix his hair in the process. I smile at him and he returns a smile before walking out of my room completely.

Well now I feel bad...

I turn around and pull out a basic two piece outfit; A black Flared skirt and a white crop top. I feel like I haven't worn a skirt in ages but it's only been a few days.

I grab my phone and school bag. I walk down the stairs and into the kitchen, sitting right next to Payton at the island. We exchange smiles before he continues eating his cereal.

"Good morning" I smile, brightly

"Good morning" Cole smiles back, making me a bowl of cereal

"I feel like today's going to be a good day" I claim

Cole turns and smiles at me, weirdly. I shrug it off and turn to look at Payton who is looking at me. Weird. He tilts his head and burrows his eyebrows.

"Didn't you faint yesterday?" Payton states, bluntly

"Well yes but—"

"I think Max is taking you to the doctors today" He cuts me off and continues

"What?" I gasp

"Payton, shut up!" Cole roll his eyes

"I'm just telling her" Payton shrugs

"Well you don't need too" Cole protests

"No go on, tell me!" I demand

"We all think you have something wrong with you" Payton admits

"Why do you think that?" I question

"Because you always pass out in bad situations" He explains

That's true. I've never been good in bad situations. But recently, I've been passing out a lot and my dizzy heads have been more frequent. I'm lucky someone's always been there to catch me, but I don't see why I have been light headed lately.

"Maddie?" Cole snaps me out of thought

"Yeah?" I meet his eyes

"Are you okay?" He asks

I thought today was going to be good. Me and Zed have finally worked things out, I feel amazing and I haven't got any problems to worry about for a change! Yeah, I'm not friends with Hazel or Walker and Chase is still out there... but life's great.

"I'm good" I nod my head to make it seem more convincing

We all turn to the door when we hear Zack walk into the room. His eyes widen when he sees me and then he immediately looks at the ground. Okay, what happened to him? And why is everyone on edge?

"Hey Zack" I greet him

"Hi" Zack hesitantly replies

"What's wrong?" I ask

This seems to catch his attention because Zack's head snaps up in my direction as he locks eyes with me, sharing a few glances with Cole and Payton before hand. Cole shakes his head towards Zack and Payton just shrugs. Are they reading each other's minds or something because they seem like they are talking to each other without a word being said.

"Can I talk to you?" Zack ask's me

"Of course" I reply

We stay quiet for a few minutes, not a word or movement. Just silence. Sort of weird for this house since somethings always happening; wether it's loud music, things breaking, shouting, someone on the phone, conversation or just straight up snoring. But it's never this quiet.

"Alone" Zack finally breaks the silence

I nod my head. I get off my high chair and follow Zack out is the kitchen, stopping at the side of the staircase. I stare at him blankly as his eyes fill with worry and concern. I've never seen him like this.

"What's going on?" I bluntly ask

"I want to tell you because Max refuses to tell you" He starts to explain

"Tell me what?" I hate all the secrets that have been going around this house.

There is always a secret that comes out at the worst possible time, ready to ruin your day by the slightest thing.

Why can't people just be honest?

"Your parents are coming here" Zack finally blurts out

"Here? As in.... the house!" I stutter

He nods

"Why? I thought they were in London" I question. The thought of my parents being here is kind of exciting but there is obviously a reason. They never do anything without a reason.

"They came to see you, and Max" he pauses between the words 'you' and 'Max'. Nothing is making any sense. Why would they want to see us? It's not as if they like Max and I'm not supposed to be in there care anymore.

"Do you know when? Or why?" I ask more questions. I don't want to be talking to them without knowing the reason they are here, it's too risky since I could end up falling in a trap like I did last time.

My parents caught me in a trap when they told me I was going into foster care. Long story short, I ended up wriggling out of the trap they set up to give me to an unstable relative who can be abusive and I ended up here, living with my brother and his gang.

My parents always loved uncle marlin and thought he could set me straight since I was "becoming my brother" in there words. I wasn't as bad as they thought I was but I didn't cause a little fight here and there in school. Not big fights, but they always found out when the parents got involved; Stupid parents.

"I don't know anything other than they are here in Los Angeles" Zack admits

This isn't good

"And Max knows?" I say, narrowing my eyes onto Zack's face

"Yes" is the only word Zack can get out before Zed walks down the stairs and stops at the bottom step.

"Hey guys?" Zed greets us

"Hey" Zack replies

"Aren't we going to school?" Zed ask's

I nod my head towards Zed to answer his question. He looks at me and smirks, why is he smirking? Don't do anything stupid Zed! Please, I'm begging!

"Zack, I think I heard Max calling you from his office" Zed claims

"Oh, okay" Zack says, turning and running up the stairs

I look back at Zed, his body is completely in front of mine now. How fast does he move? He grabs my waist and pins me to the wall next to the stairs. I let out a small gaps as my back hits the hard wall, my eyes never leaving Zed's.

His lips crash onto mine and I'm surprised but gradually kiss back with the same amount of passion. The kiss starts off gently but becomes rough and more passionate, like we need each other more than anything right now.

"Zed" I try to grab his attention but my word comes out more like a moan than a straight word.

My fingers run through Zed's hair while one of his hands slide down to my ass, squeezing it a little. A gasp leaves my lips as he squeezes my ass a little harder. He pulls away and smirks.

"Dumbass" I giggle

Zed steps away from me with the smirk still tugging his lips. My lipstick stained Zed's lips and neck but also faded on my lips, I think Zed is now wearing my lipstick. This makes me giggle even more.

"What's so funny?" Zed snaps me back to reality

"Your wearing my lipstick" I laugh out

Zed presses two fingers to his lips and then holds them out for him to see. A print of Pink lipstick shows on his fingers making his eyes widen. His eyes shoot up to meet mine, worry filling his eyes.

"What?" I ask

"someone might see this and think we made out" Zed explains

"Too late" A voice booms from the living room door

Me and Zed snap our heads to the Living room door, Shit! Someone saw us.
