The BoyBand Project- Loving Zac

I Hate You Most

After we picked up Nic's clothes from his house and Lori's clothes from hers, we went to my house and settled down on the couch. We decided in the car what we'd do that night. I grabbed the tub of cookie dough ice cream I promised Nic while Lori and him picked out a bunch of scary movies. Like I wasn't already scared enough for one night. The first movie was Halloween, which basically gave me a heart attack. After watching a variety of movies that made us regret watching them, we laid out on the floor and turned the lights off and just talked.

"This is so weird sleeping over with two girls."

Me and Lori laughed at how we never thought about it. It does sound weird when you say it out loud.

"Something to tell your friends. I'm hot, Mira is hot, you'll get major cred."

"Exactly beast, this is an honor."

Even though it was dark in the room I had the sense that he rolled his eyes at us.

"Whatever. I'm only here because Mira wants to use me to find out about my brother."

I gasped dramatically and tried to hold back a laugh.

"Maybe I just like you faggot."

"And maybe you're pretty. Haha yeah, no."

I hate that kid and love him at the same time.

"Touché. So anyways, me and Zac are 'friends' now."

"Finally. I knew you couldn't hate him forever."

I laughed and so did Lori, he was right.

"Shut up fagg. Anyways, I need your help."

"I knew that's why I was here."

It was my turn to roll my eyes at him, kids.

"I'm totally rolling my eyes at you."

"Just tell me what you want to talk about ugly duckling."

I laughed, I couldn't help it. We were like real siblings, but better.

"Do you think I was wrong not to take him back?"

There was a slight pause as if he was in deep thought. I couldn't hear anything but everyone's breathing and the occasional ruffle of the blanket beneath us until Nic finally spoke up.

"Well. From a brothers point of view, I've never seen my brother so.. bummed. Just like when he was dating you, I'd never seen him so happy. You walking away was the worst thing to watch my brother go through. He was an ass though. But also if I was your brother and not Zac's, I'd want to kill him for what he did. But I don't know... If I could go back in time id take that camera and beat you with it Lori, no offense."

"None taken. Id do the same."

"My point is you weren't wrong.. the situation was wrong."

The room went silent and I could feel tension growing between Lori and Nic. He basically admitted he hated her. lori caught on after a few minutes.

"Okay, this is awkward, ima go take a shower and knock out in your bed babes."

"Okay goodnight love."

As Lori exited the room, I scooted closer to Nic until we weren't touching but I could feel the heat from his body bouncing off of me.

"So what now?"

I turned on my side and faced Nic, even though I couldn't see him in the darkness. I could hear the blanket ruffle as I switched positions but other than that, the silence had returned until Nic spoke up.
