Zanes POV
What is this feeling, I feel so weird around Nolan... NO! It can't be love, He's taken, I wonder who. I could ask him later today, or maybe now. I don't know I want to talk to him but I'm worried he'll think I like him! Ah screw it, I'm going to call him!
Brrrr, Brrrr
N: Hey, Zane! what's up?
Z: Nothin' much, just wanted to ask you a question lol.
N: K, ask away!
Z: So, I was wondering, not in a weird way when I ask this, who are you dating anyways?
N: ...Why you ask..?
Z: Just curious
N: It's Noah, you remember him, right?
Z: YOU'RE DATING THE SCHOOL BULLY?!
N: Y-yeah...
Z: Damn, he must have a soft spot for you then, he doesn't usually date people for over 1 year.
N: Uhh, sure...?
Z: you okay?
N: Y-Yeah, I-I guess...
Z: You sure, you don't sound okay, you sound like you're about to cry.
N: I'm not okay.. Can I trust you to keep this a secret..?
Z: tell me, I wont tell anyone
N: he abuses me.. Mentally, and physically..
Z: WHAT?! OMG, I'M GOING TO KILL HIM, I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL HIM!
N: CHILL! It's fine, I promise, don't worry about it...
Z: chill? CHILL?! BUT HE'S FUCKING ABUSING YOU!
Noah: OH NOLAN, I'M HOME! COME GIVE ME A BACK RUB!
N: I got to go, sorry...!
Z: Wait-
BEEP, BEEP.
Z: - Don't... go
"DAMN IT!"
I yell as I punch the wall angerily. But then my hand starts bleeding, but it didn't hurt like it should have, the anger in me.. The anger in me was worse than the pain, my best friend is dating the school bully.. Gosh that's so gross, it makes me want to vomit just thinking about it..
-The next day at school-
I look around trying to find Nolan, but I can't seem to find him anywhere.. Until
-BRRR, BRRR-
I pull my phone out of my pocket and see a message from Nolan, my heart sinks seeing the message saying
'hey Zane, I can't go to school today :(. So don't look for me lol.'
I keep re-reading it my heart is aching in my chest my breathing starting to quicken as I start to get REALLY afraid, I'm not able to go to Nolans house due to his shitty parent...s, wait! No, they're never there anyways. They're always out gambling, and at stripclubs.. I can go there!
I push the buttons very fast on my phone to respond with
'Hey Nolan, stay there I'm coming over,
okay?'
I was left on read, but that's not the problem! I start running really fast out of the patio of the school as I through the crowd of other students walking to the school.
I continue running my shoes making a loud slapping sound on the sidewalk. I run faster, as I start losing my breath I couldn't care less. I care more about Nolans safety than my breathing. After 20 minutes of running I almost collapse but I make it to Nolans house, I immediately run inside, but what I'm met with when I walk into the house isn't what I thought it would be..
I walk in and I see a 5,11 foot guy with fluffy hair but a mullet type, and when they turn around I stand there unable to move my legs out of fear. It was Noah, I think my life may be over.. I see an object in Noahs hand, it's.. Nolans phone. No wonder I was left on read. I-I need to get to Nolan..!
"HEY, NOAH! MOVE NOW!"
I shout but to no ones suprise he charged at me and punched me.. And again to no ones suprise I fell down to the ground as my life flashes before my eyes, I start to regain my consciousness, my eyes flutter open, as I look around to see I'm tied to a chair, I look at the door there is a peice of paper that says
'Hello Zane, this door is locked :), so you're stuck here. And no one will find you, try and escape all you want, I'll be coming back soon ;)'
I start struggling trying to break free, but I can't. I start to tear up, I just want to save Nolan. I'm scared.. I just want him to be happy and safe.
I can feel my body giving up on me, my body feeling too heavy to lift. I refuse to give up. I musn't.. Not when nolan needs my help. I keep straning against the chair but then I realize the chair is shitty and wooden. I could break it just by flipping myself backwards.. It'll sting but it's worth it.
With one swift movement the chair crashes down my head hitting the floor causing a loud 'thud!' and 'crack!' to ring throughout the room for a second before the world around me gets all fuzzy and fades to black.
