Clay's POV

"UGH WHERE THE HELL IS SHE?!" Zack yelled in frustration

Zack and I sat there on the couch feeling completely hopeless.

We've spent 3 days trying to figure out where y/n could have gone. We checked the school, back at the apartment, her favorite stores, her favorite cafes and found absolutely no trace of her.

It's almost as if she's been erased from the face of the earth.

When I told her to leave and never come back.. I didn't mean it like this... I really didn't even mean it at all..

"Okay calm down.. let's step back for a bit. There's no way she left the state right?" I asked Zack

"Yea.. she was going through some tough times financially. She got kicked out of her apartment a bit before you guys had your date. She was staying at a hotel during that time but I checked back there and she isn't there anymore." Zack explained

I took a second to understand what he was saying.

"Why didn't she tell me? I could've helped her, I could've offered her a place to stay." I asked already knowing the answer.

"She's not the type to ask for help when she needs it." He said

He said exactly what I had been thinking. Y/n has never asked for help. She's always been the one helping me. It's always been in her nature to help others which is why I love her so much. Her kind and caring personality is so under appreciated now a days. But it's a double edged sword, she helps so much that she forgets to help herself.

I looked over at Zack and asked a question I've been meaning to ask for a while now.

"Do you like y/n? Like.. romantically?" I asked him

It got very quiet all of a sudden.

He looked over at me.

"I did. A loooonngg time ago." He said simply

"What changed?" I asked him out of curiosity

"I don't know.. I just see her more as a friend now. And honestly I think I might be a bit gay." He said

"Oh.. ok.. cool." I said not really knowing how to respond.

"Im gonna go get a glass of water.. do you want any?" I asked as I started to get up

"No I'm good, thanks." He said

I got up and walked over to the kitchen.

As I entered I suddenly remembered the time where I dropped the glass and she helped me clean it up, I chuckled at the sweet memory.

She's always helping others.

I remember the time where she fainted from overworking so much.

And forgets about herself.

I stood there for a moment as I started to think.

She helps others, even if it means hurting herself.

I filled the cup I had with water as I remembered y/n's beautiful smile.

She helps others, even if it means hurting herself.

I started to slowly drink the water and remembered the kiss we shared after our date.
How warm and soft her lips were with mine. I could feel how much she loved me.

She helps others, even if it means hurting herself.

I immediately stopped drinking my water and set it down on the counter.

"H-hey Zack?" I asked from the kitchen

"Yea?" He replied

"What if that's why she left." I asked walking back into the living room.

"What do you mean?" He asked

"Like.. what if she left because she was trying to help us?" I asked knowing it sounded ridiculous

"Just hear me out..  She told me before she left that she "needed to do it." And to "trust her". So what if there was someone else or something forcing her from leaving?" I asked

"What if it's the guy in the photo that's forcing her to leave." I continued

I could see Zack starting to think about what I was saying.

After a while, he looked at me with distress.

"D-do you have the picture you were talking about? The one where she was with that guy?" He said

I quickly grabbed my phone and looked to see if Emma had sent me the photo. Which she had. I just had her blocked so I hadn't noticed.

I showed the picture to Zack and saw every ounce of color disappear from his face.

"Are you okay? Do you know him?" I asked him, clearly noticing his face.

"That's... H-how?"He choked out

"What? Who is he?" I asked starting to get nervous

"No wonder she left! That bastard is gonna pay for it. I SWEAR IF HE EVEN LAYS A FONGER ON HER-" Zack yelled starting to get angry

"Hey calm down! Who is this?" I asked him again

He looked at me and was silent for a moment.

"You're going to want to sit down for this. It's a long story."
