Maddie's POV

As I walked away, crippled with embarrassment; I couldn't help but giggle. Something about Zac just made me giddy.

Whenever I heard his laugh, saw the cute dimples next to his eyes as his lips revealed his perfect smile, or even just thought about him, my body felt warm. It was like in my mind I knew I belonged with him. He was my home. It was like all the warmth in my body was pushed into my face; the uncontrollable blushing, my now permanent smile, was this true happiness?

I'm torn from my thoughts when Alice and Miki grab my arms.

"Maddie, we need to tell you something. You and Zac are getting.... too close and there is something you need to know." Alice's delicate features contorting into a concerned face, that was so unlike her. "We think you should sit down."

I sit on the couch where it seems like everyone, but Zac has gathered. They all wear the same concerned look. I can feel my heart's beat starting to pick up like the booming of fireworks in my ears. I look down at my hands and see they are shaking. What is going on? Is Zac not who I thought he was?

Zac's POV

As I step out of the shower, I grab my towel and start to dry off. All of a sudden, I hear ding after ding coming from my phone. Holy shit! I get service in here?! Hella chill!

As I glare down at the tiny screen in my hands, my skin starts to feel feverish as my breathing starts to become scarce. My heart goes into a rampage as I realize what I have done. How the fuck do I forget something as big as this?! The minute I saw Maddie, the world stopped turning, every memory my mind held of anyone else was wiped clean like a chalkboard as my world came to a screeching halt. Does this mean I'm a horrible person?

I have to tell Maddie. Fuck. My only goal in life since the moment I set my eyes on her was to keep her safe and let nothing ever hurt her. I am truly a monster.
