Chapter 12
Little Zack
After we had the whole 'the demons comming' freak out, dad suggested that I go roller skating or something to clear my head. Tyler wanted to come so we gave him some of dads roller skates. While Tyler called Ash, Zack came in my room and sat on my bed. He didn't say a word, after I was done tying my skates I looked up at him.
"Whats up little guy?" I asked. He didn't say anything.
"Zack?" Then all of a sudden tears started to roll down his eyes. I didn't know why, but he just started ballin' I took him and gave him a small hug.
"Is dad-dy- oka-y?" He asked me. I tried to understand what he was saying it took me a while, but after three or four minuets of figuring it out, I got it.
"Ya, why wouldn't he be okay?" I asked him. If Zack noticed then something must be happening at home. It had to be noticable to, Sam was the kind of dad that would try and 'protect' his child. He said it affected them and took away there 'innocence.' Whatever.
"He fell to the ground the other day Laura." What?! Something wrong was really happening.
"Why is he falling? He's in a goo-d sh-a-ape." He started to loose it again.
"Is dad-dy die-ing?" He asked me. I just rubbed his back.
"No, he's not dying, he's just going through somethings, don't worry about him okay." He nodded his head.
"Can I- go- roller skating with you?" He asked me. It took me a while to think about it. It was only supposed to be Tyler and I. I wanted to talk about some hunting things. Sam hadn't really told Zack about what we do. Then Tyler popped his head in.
"Ready?" He asked me. I looked down at Zack.
"Do you have skates?" I asked him. His face became blank and then tears started to roll down his face again.
"He wants to go skating with us?" Tyler asked noticing the tears on his face. He came over to sit by him. He started to rub his back, trying to confort him.
"Ya. Please!" He started to beg. I really missed this guy. He was really innocent. His face- I just wanted to eat it up.
"Why don't you ask your dad, and then I'll carry you." Ahhh. He was good with kids, and he's strong. I'm in love.
"Okay!" Zack said while running out of the room to ask Uncle Sam.
"I didn't know you were good with kids." I told him.
"Ya well, I have a cousin." he told me.
"Ahhh... okay, that was sweet of you, but you don't have to carry him. He's a big kid." I stated.
"I know he thinks he's a big kid. I don't have to carry him, he's not going to want to be carried, he's just going to want to hold your hand." Thats true-- kids don't really like to be carried when there that age- plus Sam had been telling him he was becomming a 'big kid' to put the thought in his mind. Tyler was so smart.
"Okay, he said we can go." Zack said while running in the room. Tyler smiled at me and grabbed my hand. I grabbed Zacks hand and we walked outside. This was going to be fun- even if Zack was comming.
