MAD

~ Chapter 4 ~

Zach and Rebecca reached the boys right as they moved closer to the purple haired beauty. They where all calling for her, shaking her and trying to get her attention, but nothing seemed to be working.

"Everything alright, boys?" the overly sweet voice of Rebecca sounded as she tried to push her way between them to have a closer look at the girl, but they seemed to be too immersed in their attempts to catch the other girl's attention and ignored her, making her fume with anger, she hated being ignored.

Zach noticed how the girl reached for Josh's hand, taking it in her own and spoke something that got his full attention, making him nod before let her pull him across the hall.

The moment she turned, Zach's breath got caught in his throat, his eyes seemed to be playing tricks on him, he could not believe what he had just laid eyes upon. His hands started to shake, he started to sweat and he even considered it being a hallucination for a second, until Rebecca spoke and broke him out of the shock he had immersed himself on.

"Wow, se really is beautiful, no wonder they were all around her like that." She said, taking Zach's hand in hers, weaving her fingers through his.

"Yeah" he answered absentmindedly, not able to focus completely on the words he spoke.

He turned to her and softly asked her for a minute to speak with his friends, finding odd the way she acted offended.

"It will only be a minute, I promise. It's band stuff, you know how boring that is." He tried, giving his best reassuring smile.

"Fine." She agreed coldly, stomping away from the hall and going into the well arranged waiting area.

As soon as she left, he turned to the boys and glared.

"I can't believe you knew it was her and said nothing!" he raised his voice at them, looking something close to a parent scolding his small children.

"Look, honestly, what did you expect?" Nate stepped forward "We haven't seen her in a long time, don't you think we deserved to enjoy a few minutes with her?" he arched a brow at Zach, "Did you expect one of us to turn around to call you to come talk to the girl you pushed so far and hurt so badly she disappeared from our lives over night?!"

The boys looked at Nate in shock, it was rare the occasion they saw him so mad and revolted. Zach knew he was right, he knew it was his fault that Maddeline left them, but he couldn't help but to miss her too.

Somehow, Zach didn't seem capable of getting over the feelings he still had for her, and much as he tried, he could not forget the feeling of her body pressed to his as they laid in bed, the sound of her laugh when he told stupid jokes, the way her hair looked in the mornings, the sweet scent of her perfume as they hugged; and try as he may, he could not seem able to let go of her, even Rebecca, who he liked more than he did most people, did not come close to give him the feelings just one look at Madeline's face did.

He shook his head and looked at the trio in front of him, seeing the concern in their eyes for Maddeline. With a deep breath he gathered all his courage to ask the question that mattered the most at the moment.

"What happened to her just now?" concern laced his voice, and there was no way he could hide it.

"I don't know, she was fine one second and then it was like she shut down, she didn't seem able to hear us and she would not react to anything." Michael informed, eyeing him suspiciously.

"It was freaky..." Gabe added, as he hugged Nate, who ran his fingers through the boy's hair in a soothing motion.

A few minutes had passed when Rebecca returned to Zach's side, hugging him by the waist, while he laid his arms on her shoulders, trying to forget the sensations still running wild inside of him.

The door to Josh's office burst open, making all of them look at it in shock. There stood a furious looking Maddeline with her phone pressed to her ear.

"What do you mean you can't?" she demanded as she strode forward.

The five of them stared at her in awe, as she moved to the elevator not even sparing a glance to the side.

"You better listen to me carefully, you better have that ready and delivered by the time I get there, or you'll be looking for a job before dinner time." She roared before hanging up and stepping inside the elevator, dialing a new number and closing the doors.
