Chapter 19 - Regret

_______________________________

After that, it was a moment of uncomfortable silence.

Both were lost in their thoughts and regrets.

Zak should have never used that plan,

It was one of his biggest fears.

Regret.

Zak finally broke the silence.

"We should probably get our stuff and put it in the car.."

"Y-yeah, I'm just gonna go to the bathroom real quick." Darryl said

Zak nodded and got his stuff.

Darryl went into the bathroom, listening for Zak to leave.

Once he heard the door close, he immediately broke down.

He thought he was finally helping Zak, that he would be able to help Zak find trust.

If only he hadn't asked that stupid question, as much as he wanted to talk about it, he was shut down by him.

Zak was pushing him away, the one thing he had a problem with.

He was losing him.

Darryl was lost in all these thoughts and tears.

He wanted to be able to have a chance, maybe if he hadn't found Zak that night, he would have never had these feelings.

But he couldn't help it, he loved him so much.

Darryl quickly wiped away his tears.

He put water on his face, and cleaned up.

Until he heard the door open again.

Zak knocked on the door.

"Darryl? Are you okay? You've been in there for a while.."

"Y-yeah, I'm just.... Feeling under the weather.."

"Do you have a fever? We can go get medicine real quick."

"No, I'll be fine."

Darryl opened the door, seeing a concerned look on Zak's face.

He used all his courage to muster up a small smile.

Zak nervously smiled back.

They heard a knock on the door.

"GUYSS ! LETS GOO." George yelled through the door.

Zak rolled his eyes.

"Here, I can take your luggage" Zak said, grabbing Darryl's bag.

"No, its fine." Darryl said, grabbing it from Zak.

"I insist." Zak said, pulling it away.

Darryl sighed and smiled gently.

He adored Zak's stubbornness, not that it mattered anymore.

"HURRY UP! CAN YOU GUYS STOP MAKING OUT?" Velvet yelled through the door.

Immediately, both their faces turned red.

Zak headed for the door and opened it.

He saw everybody giggling, turned to Velvet and punched him in the arm.

Velvet rubbed his arm after, glaring at Zak.

"Lets go guys, before Ant makes out with Velvet" Zak smirked and walked towards the elevator.

The group laughed again, this time at Ant and Velvet.

Darryl smiled and was about to catch up with Zak, but something pulled him away.
