Zayn's P.O.V.

Ryder scratched at his wrist from his spot next to me as I gently laid my hand on his arm,

"Stop that.", I said gently but sharply. His pulse raced,

"I-I-I wasn't. I promise I wasn't Zayn. H-Honest."

"Hey, calm down Ry."

"I-I'm sorry I just- I wasn't."

"Kid, I believe you. Breathe."

"Y-You do?"

"Of course I do. Why'd you panic like that?"

"I just- it's been a really long week and I-I can't take you being upset with me, let alone hitting me. I-I just can't."

"C'mere. It's okay.", I said hugging him as he sniffled.

"This whole week has been really hard and-and I really wanted to but I-I didn't."

"I'm so proud of you Ry. You know that, right?" He nodded slightly,

"Y-Yeah.", his voice cracked.

"Hey, hey what is it? What's wrong?"

"I-I just really needed to hear that."

"It's alright kid. Calm down.", I whispered as he sobbed into my chest. "Ry, have you been taking your meds?"

"N-Not thus week. I-I'm sorry I just- they make me so tired and-and I had to study for finals."

"Kid you cannot miss those! Ever."

"I'm-I'm sorry I just- I'm sorry."

"It's okay just- no more okay?" He nodded,

"Promise."

Tony and Jake practically dragged Evana into the house.

"Where the hell have you been?"

"Out."

"Get the fuck upstairs Evana. I expect an explanation when I get up there." She stormed off as Starr came in, hugging Tony,

"Hi T."

"Hey Shiny."

"You guys know each other?", I asked.

"Yeah. We were-"

"No.", Starr cut him off, "I'm not ready for him to know about that part of my life yet." She looked to me, "I'll tell you eventually." I smiled softly,

"Okay love."

"So... you two are official?", Tony asked. We nodded. "Well just know if you hurt Shiny, I'll kill you. Boss or not."

"Boss?", Starr questioned.

"I'm... not ready to explain that part of my life either. But, eventually."

I walked into Evana's room, the full bags by her closet making my heart race. I stepped over the scattered papers on the floor,

"Evana-"

"I'll clean it up.", she whispered, falling to the floor to pick up the papers. I gently pulled her up and back to the bed,

"No, no we just need to talk." I sat next to her as she messed with her hands nervously,

"I'm sorry. I made a dumb choice. I'm a dumb gir-" She stopped, then broke down sobbing, "I-I don't even know what I am!"

"Hey, hey baby calm down. First of all, you are not dumb. Second, you are so much more than a boy or a girl. You're smart, you're creative and kind and funny and so, so many things love." I paused, "Why'd you pack?"
