I laugh darkly before pulling out my phone and texting the guy who could help me.

I smile as I turn off my phone. I leave the bathroom and make sure to keep this a secret from everyone.

Your POV

Z4 stormed off after our argument. I felt even more guilty than before. I hope he'll be fine.

I returned to my brother, who asked me about what happened. But I told him that I didn't want to talk about it.

After we ate, I headed back to class. "Y/N! Wait up!" I heard someone call out so I look behind me and see Cyrus running towards me.

"Y/N, I've been looking for ya." He said as he caught up to me. "Why?" I asked. "Um, do you have any plans for tonight?" He told me.

"Uh, no." I replied. Cyrus looked away and started mumbling stuff to himself before looking at me again.

"Wanna, um, go to the arcade with me later?" He asked shyly. "Like, just you and me-?" "Like a date?" I questioned.

"I- yeah something like that." Cyrus said with a blush on his face. "But its totally fine if you don't want to-" "I would love to go out with you!" I smiled.

"Wait, what? Really?" Cyrus stuttered. I nodded. "Yeah. We can leave whenever you're ready." I told him as I kiss his cheek before walking to the classroom.

After class, I decided to stay in my dorm first while waiting for the time to start preparing. But on my way, I saw Z4.

He didn't look upset or anything. In fact, he looked completely fine as if nothing happened. "Hey, Z4." I call out to him.

He looked at me. "Hey, Y/N." He replied. "Are you ok?" I asked him. "What do you mean?" "Like, you know, after the argument earlier?"

"Yeah, Im fine." He smiled. "Im over it now." "You sure?" I questioned, since it sounded like he was lying. "Yeah, all good!" He said as he went to his dorm.

I shrugged and continued on my way. Even if Z4 was lying, I'll let him be. Besides, he needs all the time to process our argument.

When I reached my dorm, I saw that Cyrus wasn't there so I just read a book while waiting for him.

Cruise POV

"What did you and my sister talk about?" I asked Z4 as he entered the dorm. He's been quiet all day since he asked to talk to Y/N privately.

"Nothing." Z4 answered. "Im pretty sure it wasn't nothing-" "IT WAS NOTHING!" Z4 yelled at me while I stare at him in shock.

"Oh, um, sorry. Almost lost it for a second. Hehe." Z4 said nervously. I stopped trying to ask him about what happened.

Z4 went to the bedroom but I still sat on the couch, wondering why Z4 was a bit moody all afternoon.

Maybe he just got into a fight with Cyrus? Or maybe he's impatient about waiting fot Y/N's decision? Either one would really put him in a bad mood.

But he's not the kind of person to be in a bad mood when stuff like that happen. Z4 is patient and I've never seen him yell at anyone in the 10 years I've known him.

Something happened but Z4 won't tell me so it must be serious. I sighed as I try to let it slide, but it never left my mind.

??? POV

"Im really having second thoughts about this." I told my brother. "Oh cmon, its for a friend." He replied.

"Yeah, but kidnapping a rich guy's sister just because Z4 is jealous of Cyrus isn't a good reason to assault someone." I said.

"Pfft, Im also doing this to get a win against brownie. Its always fun to laugh at my rival." My brother responded.

"Fine, but I hope you know what you're doing."
