Summary
I sit up and we blink at each-other. Water droplets are caught in his dark lashes, his eyes wide and sad just like Chloe's. Fuck. I shut my eyes and drop back on my elbows, tilting my head back.
"This is like the second time I've almost died when hanging out with you this semester, man." he finally says.
"Yeah, but it's also the second time I've saved you." I point out.
I expect him to shoot some barb back about how I wouldn't've have had to save him if I hadn't put him in danger in the first place, but he doesn't.
"More times than that." He says softly.

Summary
When Zach has a suicide attempt,will his family and freinds be there for him when he needs them the most??? Warning mentions of suicide attempt. Step one: you say we need to talk
He walks, you say sit down, it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you,
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along
In the bitterness and
I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you
Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along
In the bitterness and
I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life -

My tumblr secret santa for @chiara-writes-zalex
~^~
Their relationship is something they’re still figuring out. Not just them, either, but those around them—their friends, their families, everyone at school. It’s something everyone is still getting used to, something the boys are still trying to adjust to themselves. It had made them nervous in the beginning, but they quickly stopped caring about what anyone thought when they realised how right it felt to them.

Summary
Here were the many ways that Alex had viewed Zach over the last two years:
At first, as a shallow jock. One who enabled his friends and who may not have actively tortured people, but who certainly didn’t do anything to stop it.
Then as a brother-in-arms, shoved together by the circumstances of being mentioned on Hannah’s tapes.
Then, Alex was pretty sure he was using him as his personal penance. Why else would he have spent every afternoon with Alex, helping him with physical therapy? Alex had resented him and adored him in turn.
Finally, he became home to Alex. The first person who didn’t treat him like he was cracked porcelain. Alex loved him for it.
