It sucks so much and I only have 1 friend because almost everyone thinks i'm insane or is to scared to talk to me!. Woo hoo. But anyways, here is a new chapter fellow readers! Thank you so much for reading, commenting, & voting! It's greatly appreciated! You might have to read last chapter again to refresh your memory ;).

*Patrice's P.O.V.*
As I walk downstairs, I suddenly get attacked by hugs.
"Hey, guys. I need to breathe, ya' know." I say muffled into them.
"We're just so happy to see you!" The guys all say in unison. What the hell?
"So are you guys a choir now or something?" I ask jokingly. Then, they all stop hugging me. Whoa, what happened to the love?
"Hey, Patrice. Can I talk to you alone for a minute?" Zacky asks.
"Sure, let's go upstairs." I say taking the lead.
"Don't keep her for long, Zack! We wanna spend some time with her too!" Matt calls after us.
"Yeah, yeah. Be patient." Zacky replies back.
I lead Zack to Matt's room, walk in & close the door. A somewhat awkward silence falls upon us. But, I already know why.
"So, what did you need to talk to me about?" I ask turning around to face Zacky.
Zacky looks up at me with his emerald green eyes & says "Are you back together with Matt?"
I had a feeling this was something about emotional bullshit.
"No, I'm not interested in relationships right now. Why?" I ask bluntly.
"I was just wondering for fuck's sake." Zacky retaliates back.
I roll my eyes, getting annoyed and ask "Zack, what is this really about?"
"You know, after you left the face of the earth & all, I realized how much I missed you. I missed everything we used to do together. But, I know now that you're not interested in a relationship. So, there's no need to continue this conversation." Zacky says heading towards the door.
I stop him and stand in front of the door, blocking it.
"Patrice, can you please move? This conversation is over." Zacky says with deep emotion inside his eyes.
"Nope," I say raising an eyebrow. "You do realize that if we we're dating, that Matt would be heartbroken right? You couldn't do that to him. He's one of your best friends!"
"I understand that. But although he'd be angry, he would eventually have to get over it an- Wait! You turned me down, so you don't deserve an explanation! You don't even see what's really wrong with the big picture! Now, get the hell out my way before I loose it on you." Zacky says seriously.
"Fine." I say moving away from the door.
Zacky unlocks it, walks out the door, and slams it behind him. I guess his feelings are hurt. But, seriously, what did he expect me to do? Drop everything to be with him while I'm still madly in love with Matt? I don't think so. I wonder though, what the hell did he mean by "You don't even see what's wrong with the big picture"?
*Later*
"Dude, can you hand me the remote?" I ask Jeremy.
"Get it yourself!" Jeremy retaliates walking away to leave Zack & I in an awkward living room silence.
