Chapter 8

Nick POV

It's been six months after everything had happened, me with Zen then Maddie. Zen had finally opened up to me and forgave me. I'm glad that he did or else I would have done something to make him forgive me, I chuckled. But those six months were a constant battle with me and his friends. His friend thought I was the same Nick, but after much convincing they trust me except Claire. It took Claire about the six months and two weeks to trust me. The days I had spent with Zen, made me realised how stupid I was for ruining his life. I constantly felt guilty for everything when I saw how Zen was a cool guy. Not only that, but boy he has a nice body, those abs, I wonder how he got them? Shit, what am I thinking? I should stop thinking about this gay dude. Nick, stop!

I broke my circle of thought and bring back myself to reality. I was now in Zen's house, hanging out since I was bored. Today was Saturday, no school. I'm currently lying on the couch looking at Zen who was wearing a light blue shirt with a denim shorts. Hate to admit but he looks quite cute. I shook my head and ignored that thought.

"The fuck is that shit?" I said at Zen who was now frowning and showed me a fucked up doll. I looked at him and shrugged my shoulder; he rolled his eyes and smiled at me.

"That's a doll, Maddie made."

"Oh, shit," I looked at him with a smile lingering on my face, shrugging my shoulder; I got up and snatched the doll and placed it in front of the television. That way, many people could see the doll she made, even though it's fucking scary.

"So, where is Maddie by the way?"

"She's in school," I nod in understating. Last month, Mc Floy thought it was a good idea if Maddie went to school and study like any normal kids would do. I was hesitant but Zen approved of it. I couldn't say anything because if it makes Zen happy then so be it. Shit, what am I thinking? I shook that thought again and rested my head on the couch, looking up the ceiling, I sighed. I guess Zen had guessed something's wrong because the next thing happened, he sat next to me.

"Nick?"

"mmm," I hummed, not interested in talking at all right now.

"Everything okay?"

"yeah."

"You don't sound like one."

"Zen, I'm fine, really."

"Okay, if you say so."

"Thank you," I sighed and concentrate on the wall, Zen was about to say something but his phone started ringing. He got up and answered it; I looked to Zen who was now sitting on the couch across from me, looking all confused. He closed his phone and looked at me, he stared at me for five minutes then he got up and started to panic.

"Shit, shit!"

"What's wrong?"

"She's in trouble," he sounded worried, I looked at him, grabbed him by the arm and stared at him.

"Who's in trouble?" I asked him; Zen looked at me and said the words I wasn't ready to hear.

"Maddie," he said.

"Let's go, I drive and you tell me the details later," I said, releasing him and reaching for my car keys at the back of my pocket.

"Alright," he nodded and followed behind me, we immediately reached to my car. I started my car and exited the drive way and drive to her school. Her school was near to Zen's and my house, so it'll take about ten minutes to arrive there.

I stopped on the red light and turned to Zen who was typing frantically, I grabbed my right hand and touch his hand and the minute I touch his hand, I felt electric shoot right through my vein. I guess Zen felt it too, I quickly let go his hand and acted all normal. My heart was beating very fast; I could feel the blood pumping through my veins. Shit! Focus Nick!

"Zen, calm down, now tell me the details."

"The school headmaster called, he said Maddie hasn't returned to class after she went to toilet. So he thought maybe we took her, since he heard a young guy came and asked about her, so he thought it might be me, but once I told her it wasn't, he panicked and told me, he would call the police," Zen said while staring at the window, praying she would be alright. If I was in Zen shoes, I would exactly do the same thing; pray to god she would be okay. I grit my teeth and clutched the steering wheel tightly till my knuckles turned to white.

We reached school after some dodging the cars and passing through the red light with full speed. I barely care if I go to prison because of this. I and Zen ran towards the hall, straight to the headmaster office. Zen was about to go to the assistant but instead I went straight to the headmaster's door and burst it opened without even knocking. I saw an old man probably in his mid-fifties, short, balled, blue eyes, big stomach like Santa Claus wearing a red pocket dot shirt and a dark blue pants with some classic vintage shoes.

The headmaster got up and was about to say something, but I interrupt him.

"Is this how you handle your school?!"

"Excuse me?" the headmaster was taken aback with my sudden burst, even Zen did.

"You heard me," I walked straight to him and grabbed by his collar and made him face me.

"Let—let me go, you have no rights to do this," he said, I chuckled and gripped his collar tighter which made him gasped for air. I barely care if he dies right this moment.

"What rights I have? I have every single fucking rights! You let my child go out with some random stranger thinking it was me or him," I paused and nod my head towards Zen who look scared at my reaction but I don't have the time to console him, "and then you tell us that our child is missing!"

My grip on his collar tightened by the minutes, Zen noticed how the principle turned from white to blue; Zen immediately went and released my grip on his collar. The principle started coughing violently. I was about to grip him again when Zen turned and gave me a stern look.

"Who took her?" Zen said to the headmaster who looked frightened, hah! Now that I take a better look at him, I bet his in mid-forties, brown hair, chocolate eyes, stripped shirt with blue pants and classic shoes.

"I don't know, the worker said it was two young guys, one was short, brown hair and another was tall fit and has blonde hair."

"Thank you; I know who exactly it is. Thank you and sorry," Zen said apologetically.

Zen grabbed me by the arm, I swear the minute he touch my hand, electrich shoot right through me. I looked at him and saw Zen looking angry by the minute. I shoved that thought and went back to my car.I started the engine and drive out form the school; I looked at Zen and saw he was gripping his phone tightly.

"Zen?"

"Drive to 22 Alboy Street, that's where she is!"

"How do you know that?"

"Just fucking drive! I'll tell you later."
