AN: woo hoo chapter 10, rolling right along!

Zack's POV

The sunlight coming in through the window eventually woke me up. I felt really warm and opened my eyes to see Lily lying next to me, curled up with her back against my chest. I looked down and brushed the hair from her face, admiring how beautiful she was.

Remembering last night made me really happy but not exactly for the reason most people would think. Yes, we had sex and it was great but it also brought our relationship to a new level. I realized how much I truly love Lily, how I would do anything for her and that I want to be with her for a very long time. The feelings I had for Lily were way beyond anything I had ever felt before. I was always the player who was thinking about the next girl while I was still with a girl. Now that was all gone and I couldn't imagine anyone else but Lily.

My deep thoughts were interrupted by Lily starting to stir next to me. She rolled over to face me and opened her eyes slowly.

"Good morning beautiful," I smiled.

"Good morning," She smiled sitting up next to me.

I had to laugh at how my shirt from last night looked on her. It was funny how a shirt on me was a mini dress on her. She wanted something to wear over just her underwear last night so I gave it to her. It looked good on her, but then again not much could look bad on Lily.

"Did you sleep well?" I asked.

"Very," She smiled then moved so she was straddling me again. "I always sleep well when you're close."

"Me too," I said giving her a quick kiss. "Can I ask you something?"

"Of course."

"You don't regret last night at all do you?" I needed to ask because I never wanted to rush Lily into sex in our relationship; I just needed to be sure.

"No not at all," She said seriously. "Why? Do you?"

"Of course not," I smiled running my hands up and down her legs. "It only made me realize it's possible to love you even more."

"I love you too Zack," She smiled then moved off the bed. "Well I'm going to go back to my room, have a shower."

"You can shower here," I teased getting up from the bed. "We could have one together."

"That would be lovely," She laughed. "But let's do a rain check; I have to call Nathan soon."

"Alright," I sighed sitting back down on the edge of my bed.

Lily walked around and gathered her clothes which were scattered across the floor. She then took off my shirt and handed it back to me.

"Thanks babe," She smiled proceeding to put her clothes back on.

In a way I felt bad for just watching her get dressed but my eyes could not be peeled away from her body, it was so incredibly gorgeous.

"Bye Zack," She said kissing me lightly. "I'll text you later."

"Sure thing," I said as I watched her leave. "See ya."

Lily's POV

I walked back quickly to my room I opened the door to find Cody and Bailey watching TV on Baileys bed.

"Hey guys," I said kind of awkwardly.

"Morning Lily," Bailey said normally. Maybe she didn't know? Either way I was just going to role with it.

"How's your foot this morning girl?" I asked gathering my shower things.

"It's fine," Bailey smiled. "It hurt a bit earlier when I got up but then I just took something for the pain"

"Glad to hear it," I said heading to the bathroom. "I'm gonna have a quick shower."

"Ok we're going to head to breakfast, do you want anything?" Cody asked.

"No thanks," I smiled. "You guys have fun."

I shut the door and jumped in to have a quick shower. I did my make-up and towel dried my hair. It was a beautiful day so I decided jut to let it air dry today. I felt too lazy to pick out an outfit so I just threw on a pair of beige shorts and a mint green v-neck t-shit.

I suddenly heard my phone start to ring, Nathan on time as usual. I was brushing my hair so I picked up the phone, put it on speaker and set it on my desk.

"Hey Nate," I greeted.

"Hey Lily," His voice sounded from my phone. "How are you?"

"I'm great," I answered. "How about you?"

"Doing pretty good, keeping busy."

"How's Jenna?"

"She's doing great," He laughed. "She was excited that I finally told you about her."

"Awesome," I laughed a bit nervously. "I can't wait to meet her."

"Me either, you will soon though. I know she can't wait to meet you ."

"Great,"

"So what have you been up to this weekend?" He asked. "Anything exciting?"

"Nothing really," I explained. "London came for a visit so that was pretty fun."

Nathan was in the middle of responding when my door opened and Travis and Woody came bounding in.

"Hey Lily," Woody smiled. "Have fun last night?"

Before I could respond or tell them I was on the phone Travis piped in.

"Yeah how was having sex with my roommate?" He laughed.

"YOU WHAT!?" Nathans voice yelled from my phone.

"oh shit," Travis whispered. "I'm so sorry Lily!"

"yeah yeah get out," I said forcing them to leave and I locked the door behind them.

I ran back over and took the phone off of speaker phone.

"Nathan," I warned trying to calm him.

"You had sex last night?!"

"Nathan, Travis was joking," I tried to lie.

"Lillian you're a horrible liar, I can tell that's not true even over the phone."

"Ok ok! It's true," I sighed in defeat.

"Oh my god," He whispered. "I think I'm going to throw up."

"Oh stop it Nathan."

"Lily how could you do this?" Nathan ranted. "You're too young for this."

"Oh really?!" I laughed slightly. "And how old were you when you first had sex?"

Nathan just stayed silent on the line for a minute.

"That's not the point!" He suddenly yelled back.

"Nathan I'm almost 18 years old, I'm not a child."

"Yeah…" He said quietly. "I guess you're right."

"Aren't I always," I laughed.

"Did you at least...you know…did you..ughh…were you…" Nathan struggled.

"Dear god Nathan," I said secretly laughing on the inside at how awkward this was for him.

"I just want to make sure you're being responsible," He said gently.

"I am," I assured him. "We used a condom and I've been on the pill since I was 16."

"Ughhhh," Nathan uttered as I spoke. Clearly uncomfortable hearing his baby sister tell him these things.

"Ok," He sighed once he composed himself. "I'm sorry Lily I'm just trying to look out for you."

"I know Nate," I smiled. "I love you for it."

"Great," He laughed. "So now that it's all cleared up can we pretend I never found out about this."

"Found out about what?" I laughed. "I'll talk to you soon Nate, I love you."

"Love you too Lily, bye."

Travis's point of view

After Woody and I left Lily's room Woody wanted to go get breakfast.

"You go on, I'll go get Zach and be there soon." I told him jogging off to my room.

When I got there Zach was coming out of the bathroom.

"Sup man," Zach asked as he threw some clothes in the hamper.

"Not much I'm going to breakfast you want to come?" I asked.

"Sure," He said grabbing his phone.

"So you have fun last night?" I teased as we headed for the door.

"Oh shut up, yes I did," He laughed.

"Yeah I bet," I smiled.

"Sorry about sexiling you dude," Zach said apologetically. "I would have warned you but it was unexpected."

"Don't worry Zach it's fine,"

Once we arrived to the cafeteria we sat down with everyone.

"Zach where is Lily?" Bailey asked.

"I thought she was in your room," He said confused.

"She was but I thought we would be down soon or went to find you."

Woody gave me a look, telling me maybe I should explain the situation.

"Ughhh she may be doing damage control with her brother," I said with a wince.

"What? why?" Cody asked.

"Becausewetoldhimaboutthemhavingsex," Woody grumbles all at once.

"Pardon?" Bailey asked, wanting to make sure she heard right. I sighed and came clean.

"We accidentally told Nathan about what you and Lily did last night," I said closing my eyes getting ready to be hit…and I was.

"What is wrong with you?!" Zack said as he smacked me in the back of the head. At the same time Cody did the same to Woody.

"It was an accident!" I said while rubbing the back of my head. "We went to tease her a bit and didn't realize she had Nathan on speaker phone."

"I'll go see if she's ok," Zach said getting up. "I know Nathans pretty protective."

"Sorry!" I yelled as he walked down the hall.

"Meet us in the game room later," Bailey called after him too.

Zach's point of view

I walked quickly down the hall and knocked on Lily's door.

"Come in," I heard her say from inside.

I opened the door and saw her sitting on her bed.

"You weren't at breakfast," I said as I sat on the edge of her bed.

"Yeah I'm not very hungry," She said with a small smile.

"Lils," I said in a stern voice. "Remember, you can't be skipping meals."

"Zack, it's been a weird morning," She said. "Can we not do this?"

"Yeah Travis told me what he did." I said. "Everything ok?"

"Yeah, bit of an awkward conversation but everything's ok." She assured me. "It just threw me for a loop, it was weird."

The way she was describing her emotions made sense but she just looked off, like something was bugging her.

"I bet," I said moving so I was sitting behind her, placing her in the middle of my lap.

"So why aren't you eating today?" I asked rubbing her arm.

"I don't know," She sighed. "I just don't feel hungry, but maybe I'm just tired, we didn't sleep very much last night."

"No we didn't," I said kissing the spot between her neck and her shoulder, just to calm her. "Do you want to take a nap?"

"No," She sighed. "I'll be fine."

I moved her to the side I little so I could face her easier.

"Ok so now are you going to tell me what's really the matter?" I asked softly.

"What do you mean?" She said confused.

"I know you well enough to know when something is wrong." I said kissing her forehead. "So what's up?"

She kept her head down, like she was examining her hands. I was about to push them away when she mumbled a response.

"It's stupid."

"Stupid or not its bothering you and I want to know what it is so I can help." I replied taking her hands in mine.

"Nathan has a girlfriend," She sighed looking up at me.

(AN: I know she already talked about this with Bailey, but from the phone call earlier and all that's happened I feel it would still bother her.)

"Oh yeah?" I said confused. "Aren't you happy about that?"

"I am I guess." She explained. "He seems really happy and I want him to be I'm just scared that I won't like her or she won't like me."

"I can't imagine anyone not liking you." I laughed.

"What if they want to move in together? Where will I go?" She suddenly broke into a rant. "He won't want to live with his girlfriend and his little sister!"

"Hey, hey, calm down," I said rubbing her back. "You're just anxious because you haven't met her yet."

"But what if?" She said as her eye slowly started to fill with tears.

I couldn't stand seeing her this sad. After Lily's dad passed away last year she felt really alone. With her mother more or less out of the picture and her brother working her dad was really all she had (besides her friends). Now she's just afraid Nathan will want to leave too.

"Lily," I shushed pulling her into my chest. "You are Nathans number one priority in life, he loves you and he would not let anyone into his world without thinking of you first."

"I feel like I'm ruining his life," She said starting to sob. "If I had just gone to live with mom he wouldn't have to take care of me."

"You're not ruining his life," I assured her as I rubbed her back. "He did not want you to go with your mother anymore than you did, it was his idea and he loves having you around."

She did say anything else, she just cried quietly for a few minutes. Then she looked up and wiped her face with her hands.

"Sorry," She laughed quietly. "That needed to happen."

"I know," I smiled. "This is what you've been so stressed out about the last few days?"

"Yeah," She confirmed. "You noticed that?"

"Of course," I said. "I meant to ask you sooner but there was so much going on."

"Yeah I'll say," She laughed.

"Don't worry about Nathan though," I said. "Everything will be fine, you'll meet this girl and I'm sure all your worry will be for nothing. Nathans pretty smart I'm sure he knows what he's doing."

"True," She smiled reaching over to hug me. "Thanks Zack"

"I love you babe," I smiled, kissing her as she pulled away.

"Love you too," She said then looked confused. "Where is everyone?"

"They went to the game room after breakfast," I explained. "Do you want to go meet up with them?"

"Yeah," She said climbing off her bed and putting on her shoes.

"Let's go," I said taking her hand as we headed for the door.
