My phone rang ; it's my mother.
"Hey mom" i picked up
"Ester" she said happily "your father is out , he proved his innocence".
"What?".

Few days earlier:

My relationship with chase grew stronger and stronger each day we pass together. And it seems we have alot of those, i ignored the sense of guilt towards zack for a while and then i just started forgetting about him. He must've been busy with his friend problems he probably forgot about me too.

"Good morning ester" leela said while popping down the sofa next to me.

"Good morning for you too" i smiled. Grabbed ny cup of coffee and drank a sip while still lost in my thoughts.

"What's news with zack? He didn't show up for a while did you guys fought or break up?" She grabbed her cup of coffee as well and she seems in need for a talk no matter what it is.

"I don't know" i said "we didn't get in touch for a while because of Bryan's case he probably still invested in it."

"He's such a great a boy indeed" she whispered "you should come clear with him if u don't really want him after all".

I was surprised she said that,i mean it's must've been so obvious to everyone living here that i didn't want zack after all. They must've think i'm a horrible person for cheating on my boyfriend with chase, but she didn't say that or she didn't come clear about whether she knows or no.  So i asked.

"Come clear about what?" I turned around to face her.

"About you not wanting him" she shrugged her shoulders and i felt defensive. I hate the way she said that , she looks like she's trying to sugar coate it.

"And what gave me away?" I said holding in my anger.

"The indifference" she rolled her eyes.

I was about to say something when the door opened and the boys came in with food. They were joined with noen and damiar holding the pizza boxes and the bags.

"We're back" Atticus chanted happily and started putting down the food on the kitchen counter.

"Welcome babe" leela stood up and headed towards Atticus and kissed him on the mouth passionately. I felt discomfort because of damiar and i looked at him and his face indeed was pale as fuck and he looked away.

"Oh" i tried to distract him "what did you guys bring for dinner"

"Pizza" chase mumbled annoyingly at Atticus and leela too. At that Atticus cut the kiss off awkwardly and joined us on the table.

Chase brought my chair next to his and patted it secretly for me to sit. I smiled and sat myself next to him. My relationship with chase is perfect these days we would go on rides and icecream all the time , we would talk and cuddle, we would fuck until sunrise. It was perfect and i was happy. I kinda forgot about my pain for a while and i also forgot about my boyfriend that i still didn't confess too or broke up with him.

"The pizza is quite good" noen moaned on the cheesy pizza. It was crowded with various toppings from meat to pepperoni and garlic, cheese and olives ugh my mouth was watering looking at it only. (And the author is kinda hungry) .

"Are you joining the next race" Atticus said while chewing a big chunk of what he call the pizza comb which literally 4 pieces crowded on each other.

"Probably " chase answered after taking a sip of his coke. (Seriously the author is so hungry right now). "But i don't think it's gonna be done because of what happened last time".

I still remember what happened last time and how can i forget.

"Oh" leela sherped "i think Bryan is out tomorrow" at that my attention perked.

"For real" noen asked "i thought he'll never see the sun again" he laughed.

"Omg noen" Atticus spoke again with his mouth full "the dude got arrested because he smoked not because he killed someone".

I looked down to my finger and i don't feel like eating again, if Bryan is out zack will look for me and i finally need to tell him the truth , i'm nervous. He's been nothing but a kind guy and i was a bitch. I sighed and looked up to my lover who was indeed looking back at me with the same look.

"It's okay" he mumbled and i smiled. I tuned around and cought leela looking at us intensely. I don't know what she's been to these days and it doesn't feel like good.

To my surprise, zack didn't contact me after Bryan came out , nor the day after ,nor the week after. I did call him but he didn't pick up. I felt relief in his silent because i wouldn't have to deal with the idea of telling the truth but a part of me knew that it's not this easy and i should worry.

The day of the race is indeed today and i was touching up my makeup after a makeout session with chase Hudson because he said he was nervous and my kiss will ease him up. I kinda think he was bullshiting and all he wanted was to kiss me.

We drove towards another part of the city and we ended up under the bridge. And just like the dozens other time it was crowded and full of people my age and older enjoying their time , maybe a little bit more then what is recommended. Chase was next to me with the other boys noen and bikro, leela didn't want to join us today so i went alone. I guess i'll find other people to hang out with while the boys get ready.

After saying goodbye to chase i starlled through the place looking for a familiar face. But for no good , everyone here were not in our school so i stood my ground next to the track and waited.

The biker joined the start line few minutes later and i can clearly see chase with his black outfit lining up his bike. After that the other racers joined and i can finally see the red bike of zack. He didn't look at me and do anything, i didn't even see his face, he was already wearing his helmet and up on his bike when he lined up next to the others.

The race started after the bang and the bikes were out of sight in seconds, it's good take a while for them to be seen again and i was thirsty so i walked towards the little booth they made for booze and water. I looked around and everyone were hanging out near the track , i don't understand their obsession with bike racing, it's kinda dangerous at times.

"Hey babe" i heard a familiar voice and turned around to find zack standing behind me wearing his everyday clothes. I don't understand, if zack is in here who is driving his bike??

"Zack?" I was surprised "if you're here,who's racing" i asked.

"It doesn't matter" he said closing the gap between us and brought me so close to his chest " i missed you" he said and hugged me tight.

"Zack" i started but he didn't let me finish and he linked his lips to mine. I was choked but tried to push him away.

"Zack what are you doing" i asked. But he didn't care for my words and he tried again. At that  i harshly pushed him away for me and said the same thing but louder, maybe he didn't get the gesture at first but he gets it now because he stumbled few steps away looked at his feet and then back to me.

"I guess it's true" he mumbled and i barely got to hear him because of the sounds.

"What are you talking about?" My heart start beating like crazy knowing what is exactly he's talking about.

"You've never cared about me huh?" He screamed "all that time you were cheating on me behind my back with that dick".

"Zack" i tried to speak but he cut me off with his hand around my neck. My breath got short and i started to panic. What the fuck , why is he acting like this , i tried to stop him and get him away from but but i couldn't.

"All the time that i fucking tried to kiss you or fucking fuck you acted like a virgin bitch to go around me and fuck chase hudson" he screamed and his anger was terrifying, i've never seen zack this angry, i don't like it.

"L-let me g-go" my breath are so short right now it's insane, i started to feel dizzy "z-zack" i pleaded but after few seconds all i saw is black.
