Benji POV

I can't seem to get out of bed today. My bed doesn't bring me the comfort that I crave but it's better than what awaits me once I get away from its knowing feel.

I scroll through social media, observing how others my age are enjoying their summer vacation. I'm supposed to be in Australia this summer, but I really don't want to go.

My suitcase has been laying on the middle of my floor for more than a week now. My dad keeps telling me to start packing but I don't want to go.

Around this time, most summers, Zero and I would be spending every waking moment with each other. We get really clingy because we both know that I have to leave for Australia.

I got a notification last night on my phone. A memory of that same time last year, Zero and I impulsively decided to shave my hair. Okay, it was more of a dare and I didn't want to lose so I let him cut my hair.

He found it so funny, he laughed for hours. The picture was of him holding my hair laughing and me looking like I wanted to kill someone. Honestly, I wasn't even that angry, especially with how cute he looked when he laughed I couldn't be, but I didn't want him to know so I pretended to be mad.

I cried myself to sleep yesterday when I saw that picture. I started looking through all the pictures I had on my phone and almost every picture I had he was in.

I miss him so much it hurts. I feel like a piece of me has been ripped out of my heart. I regret that day more than anything. That day I told him we needed a break, I wasn't thinking properly.

I was angry with what I overheard him and Alex say in the bathroom. How could he kiss Alex back, why would he do that when he was dating me. I felt betrayed, I felt angry, so angry at him that I didn't even want to be in his presence.

He wanted to explain to me, but I didn't give him the chance to. I wish I did cause then none of this wouldn't be as bad as it is.

"So you're going to really tell me that you'll stop being friends with me if I accidentally kill your family."

"Yes, Anabela are you stupid, of course, I would stop being you're friend. You killed my family!"

My two idiot friends were arguing about some stupid thing again. They're always arguing about something, I swear two minutes ago they were arguing because my friend David told Anabela that all cats were girls and all dogs were boys. I honestly have no idea where they get their ideas from but it's honestly so interesting to hear them talk.

"Hey, Benji can I talk to you for a second." I snapped my head to see who the voice belong to.

My once relaxed presence was quick to become one of pure rage and anger. What the fuck those this bitch want.

He shifted uncomfortably once he noted my demeanor. "I know you don't like me but it's not about me, it's about Zero."

Zero. My heart sank just from hearing his name. How could he do that to me, with him? With this ugly bitch.

"What makes you think I care to hear anything you have to say about him."

"Please just five minutes that's all I need."

I looked at my friends, they were still deep in conversation. I sigh and walked out into the courtyard. I stood by a random tree with as few people around it.

"Three minutes, go," I instructed.

He sighed and then started talking, "Have you seen Zero. I'm worried about him, and I haven't seen him since the day-"
