Closure (BxB) [sequel to SAS] *ON HIATUS*

Chapter thirty-eight:

Zach's POV:

I'm not gonna lie, this shit is way harder than I ever thought it will be.

And yes, I do 'having the time of my life' here, I learn a lot, this is really the best opportunity ever, and yet I feel so drained. Mentally and emotionally.

And physically. Especially physically.

The studies are like 12 hours straight. I wake up every morning at 5 AM and I return home only around 11 PM.

Like, starting at 6 AM, there's breakfast and lunch break, and we usually finish and 8 PM, and of course I can just buy McDonald's and return to my apartment but I'm in freaking Paris!

And my co-students feel the same, we usually all go out to dinner together, I've already tried so many amazing dishes here. Even some I was really not sure about at first. Like frog legs. I mean... it's creepy. But it tastes nice.

And I miss my friends so much. And Brian of course.

Olivia would be a great addition to my stay here. She loves all those fancy restaurants and food. The boys on the other hand will suffer for sure.

I also got to experience some real Paris experiences. I got pickpocketed on the metro.

Three times.

At this point, I should get a taxi to work.But that's not like there was anything to steal from me.Some cash, and keys. Thankfully I keep my phone in my hands all the time.

But I hate to get a new copy of my keys every time. I barely have time for this.

And the fashion is so great. Really, even the basic stores like Zara, it's like they keep all the good stuff for Europeans only! And the rest of the world gets its trash.

Olivia told me that Aaron was trying to hit on Brian again.

He's so lucky I can just that a week off and take a flight back to punch his ass.

I told Olivia that she and Fred better take care of it because I believe Brian is way too soft to tell Aaron to stay the fuck away from him.

Even though he can definitely punch him if he'd like. I already know this side of him.

And I think ever since Brian decided he didn't want to be a bully anymore, I fear he lost his ability to push people over. And in general. He's scared of being the bad guy again.

And I get him, I get it, but he needs to grow a pair. Before I'd grow a pair for him and go back home just to punch Aaron.

Ugh, I can't believe people are that desperate. Like, you know we're together, and happy. What makes you think you can change it?

---------------------------------

"Olivia..." I rolled my eyes to the phone.

"What?"

"I told you not to tell Zach anything"

"why thought? I would like to know"

"yeah, but now he's all stressed out about me. And I don't want him to be, because everything is alright. I'm on it. You're on it"

"true, but I'd still like to know"

"but there's nothing to know! Aaron is just being a little extra friendly. That's it. Nothing is going to happen"

"you don't know it. I don't trust this guy. He's weird"

"He's a theater kid, of course, he's weird".

"anyway, so here's what I was thinking..."

"no violence"

"of course not, don't be silly"

"Olivia..."

"how about a little violence?"

"no" I sighed out loud.

"fine, you're not fun"

"I know. So what are we gonna do?"

"We're going to play matchmaker" I could hear her smile through the phone.

"I just don't want him to get hurt, I just want him to stay away"

"I can't believe I'm saying it, but you're too nice Brian".

"Thanks, I guess"

"just let me take care of it"

"Sure" I rolled my eyes again.

This will be either the smartest thing I can do or the dumbest thing.There's no middle.But I trust Olivia.
