The Ultimate Choice

Chapter 17

Zach's POV:

I wake up in the hospital with tubes stuck to my body. I try to move but it hurts too much. I think back to the confrontation I had several minutes before getting hit by the car. I knew who did it and I knew why.

Ethan.

I still didn't understand how he figured out where I lived. I strictly hid everything or at least tried to. It just didn't make any sense. The way he approached me was so weird because I never expected to see my ex-best friend again.

Flashback

"Well, well, well."

I stop dead in my tracks not daring to turn around at the voice behind me. I knew who it was before even looking.

Ethan.

"How've you been, Zach." He walks in front of me to look at me.

"What do you want? How did you even find me." I ask fear rising in.

He laughs bitterly.

"That's for me to know, and you to never find out."

I try to side step him but he blocks my path.

"Where you going? To your little boy toy. What's his name?" He asks rubbing his chin. "Alex, right?"

My fear instantly turns to anger.

"How do you even know about him?" I ask bitterly.

"I have my ways. Now let's get to the point of why I'm here. Revenge. You ruined everything for me. You took what little happiness I had and destroyed it."

I look at him dumbfounded.

"What the fuck are you talking about, Ethan? Last time I checked I'm the one that was bullied and harassed for being who I am. And revenge. For what? Doing what I needed to do. I almost killed myself for what I did to you. You know what, I don't have time for this." I say pushing him out of the way and continued walking home.
