How dare Zac text me and say he's going to be home late, as if it isn't already late enough. He's been gone for hours and he doesn't even bother to let me know how he is. He said I could invite over my girlfriend, Sam, but how could I when all I can think about is him. I need to know if he's okay. Should I wait for him to get home?
I have been so worried that I forgot to get dinner. I could order a pizza, but the campus has a curfew for outsiders. Now that I think about it Zac said he needed some stuff from the store. I also want to get so freshening plugs so that the place will be nice when he gets home. There is a Target not too far from here that I could go to. It has a food court in it that stays open till 2am, so I could grab a bite to eat while I shop.
I grab my wallet and hoodie then head to my room. In my room I get a sticky note and write a note to Zac in case he comes home before me. ~I'm at the store call if you need anything~ That should be good enough. I walk to the kitchen and set it on his sunglasses. He always looks so adorable when he wears them. I know he has his map turned on but there was a new update, and it tells you when someone checks yours. I don't want to piss him off any more than I already have.
It's really cold outside as I walk to the car. There are only a few people out here since it's so late. Mostly drunk students heading to the next party location to get even more drunk. I don't handle my booze very well. Despite his small figure, Zac has a great alcohol tolerance. I just recently learned that it's because he's quite the party animal. Going out to drink on a regular basis. I guess I don't know him as well as I thought.
As I get in the car, I get a notification from snap. It says that Zac is active. I'm really liking this new update, but it does make it difficult to check up on people. I sit staring at my phone for the longest time before he posts something on his story. It is picture of a restaurant. I thought he was going to a bar. Not a nice Italian restaurant with fancy lights and seating. Somethings off about that. I inspect the image further to make sure it's not a bar. As I'm looking at the screen it says, "30 minutes ago from camera roll".
Why is he just now posting it? Is he on his way home? I could always check the map, but I don't want to overstep. He wouldn't be mad if I did it for his safety, Right? Or maybe it's to make sure he doesn't need me to bring anything home for him. Yeah! That's what it is since I'm going to the store. I open his map with a newfound sense of assurance. He's by the airport which isn't too far. The only think around there is a car rental place, a target, and a hotel.
There's no reason he would be at the hotel. If I zoom in, he's going to be at the store. He might be getting a hoodie or some snacks. If I zoom in and he is at the hotel, how would I feel? I obviously wouldn't feel anything because he's my best friend. If I do feel something is just because he's my best friend. That's the only way to explain it properly. A sudden interruption shakes me out of my thoughts.
(Incoming call- Sammie) ~answer~
"Hey, what up Sam?" I say into the phone as I buckle up and turn on the car. I've been sitting in the car for 10 minutes staring at my phone. I didn't even turn the damn thing on. I shouldn't be so worried about what a grown man is doing with his own life.
"Luke, how come you didn't call me when you got to your place. I would've come over to see you and Zac. I heard that he's single and I know a guy that I went to school with who is also gay. We could set them up!" Sam doesn't even give me a chance to answer her question before she goes on ranting about nonsense. She gives me and absolute headache almost every time she opens her mouth.
"Sorry, I got into an argument with Zac, and I forgot to call." I laugh as I turn on the heat. I know she's gonna be pissed but she has a light spot when it comes to me and Zac fighting. That's the only time she listens to my problems. The rest of the time she is trying to get me to buy her fancy stuff and take her out for food. I bet Zac would be a better girlfriend than her.
"Well, you could have at least texted me. Would it kill you to think about someone other than yourself?" Sam remarks. Yeah right! I think she should be saying that to herself. I don't think she realizes that she's not the main character here. {Hehe}
"I have to go, Sam. I'll call you tomorrow." I hang up as soon as I say that. I need to hurry up and go to the store before it gets too late. I know it'll be open, but I want to be home in time to see Zac when he gets home.
I leave the campus and head the store. Since I've been in the area for a few days, I know my way around pretty well. I'll have to show Zac around this weekend since he has only visited a few times. I pull up to the Target before I even know it. When I park the car, I remember that I was going to check the exact location on the map. I pull out my phone and open his map. As soon I zoom in and click his location, my heart drops. I don't know why I would react like this. He's at the hotel. I shouldn't care about it this much. Did he go alone, or did someone take him?
