Zack's pov (wow how rare)

"I'm leaving. You're in charge."

I stormed pass Jack, and out of the building. Today truly was an okay day up until this point. Gosh, I hate Vic.

Vic. The person I loved more than life itself for the past two years. The person that I would've dropped anything for. The person that I would've loved and supported, no matter what.

Too bad he wouldn't ever do the same.

I got into my car and started driving towards me and Vic's house, which was about fifteen minutes.

'Calm down, Zack. Don't break the wheel,' I thought to myself. Words can't express how both angry and sad I am. Vic is actually about to end what we had over a club.

Vic and I have only been together since June of the year before last. We met though our job, of course. He taught geography and history, while I, at the time, was only teaching physical science, which meant we both taught freshman classes. Vic was a new teacher, so I had to show him around everywhere since all of the other teachers were too 'busy' to do it. Me and Vic got close, one thing led to the next, and we're dating.

I've never been as happy in my entire life as I was with him. He was energetic, optimistic, hardworking, and attractive as hell. He was also extremely caring and kind. For my 26th birthday, he bought us tickets to Disney World.

But that's just the good things about him. The longer we were together, the more controlling he became. Ever since moving here, he's made a lot of new friends who weren't mentally good for him. They were extremely judgmental about Vic and I's relationship. Vic didn't do anything about them, but thought I was the problem instead. He became bossy and whiny, just because he wasn't acting the way his friends wanted me to act. He wasn't the Vic I fell in love with anymore, which leads to tonight.

When I got the offer to Buy out Rian's and own it, I was really happy about it. With me and Vic's relationship at the time being rough, and me almost losing my job as the biology teacher, I needed to make precautions. Accepting to buy out an illegal teenage club may seem ridiculous, but at the time I got it, I looked at it as a bright light on my dull life. It was the only place where I felt like myself, especially with Jack being around of all people.

Jack. Gosh, that name has been confusing my brain longer than I thought. In the past I hated when it popped up into my mind. I remember when he first took my physical science class three years ago. The rest of his class was loud and annoying, and he was a huge part into that, which caused him to get into a lot of trouble. His parents always had to come the school to settle things, and when they weren't available, his older sister would settle it herself. At that time, I hated him.

But things changed over time.

When the next school year rolled around, he completely changed. He wasn't annoying and conniving, he was more quiet and to himself. He went from having a lot of friends to only two. Though he didn't take any of my classes. I did happen to notice it, and it caused me to creepily watching him during lunch and break, and even through the door windows of some of his classes.

I wasn't trying to be stalker-like; I was just curious about what happened over that summer before he came back. So I talked to him, and he simply said that he didn't want to talk about it, which I was okay with. All I wanted was for him to be okay. I started find out about his nervous habits and thoughts on life without even having to talk to him, which caused me to grow a crush on him, which I still have till this day. I hate myself everyday for even thinking about a student like that.

It only got worse when I started teaching Biology for juniors, which meant Jack was going to be in my class. He was back to being himself again, except only around his friends. I had to separate them multiple times during lessons, even though they easily rendezvous somehow. Anyways, he only got more cuter and lovable from there. Especially when he started our daily routine of him being annoying by continuously flirting with me, and me brushing it off and acting like it doesn't effect me, even though it did. In more ways than one.

Unfortunately, I started liking him when me and Vic were just starting up our relationship. Of course I felt bad for it, but I the same time, I never acted upon my wishes. I loved Vic just as much, if not more, than I loved Jack at the time. Of course, things are different now. Vic is nothing but an extra in my life.

When I got home, I opened the door to see Vic hauling boxes. I didn't even want to ask what was going on, but of course my curiosity got the better of me.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"You said that we can't be together if I don't accept what you're doing, so, I'm moving out." He said through pants.

"Are you kidding me?" I yelled.

"No. I'm sick and tired of you disrespecting me, Zack. I told you that I'm not supporting this...this side job of yours! And this isn't the only reason I'm done with you," Vic started. Here we go.

"I'm sick and tired of you completely ignoring me as of late. This new job of yours has driven you to not be around me anymore! Last time I checked, I was your significant other! That that stupid pedophile job!" He shouted. At this point, I didn't care. I didn't care about anything he was saying, so I showed it by having a calm face expression.

"Anything else?" I added.

"Yes! You never listen to me! I put everything into this relationship and what do I get out of it? Completely nothing! How dare you not listen to me? I was supposed to be your everything! What happened to that?" He continued.

"Any final words?" I asked.

"You know what? Fuck you and your stupid job. Mike's picking me up. We're done."

He took a deep sigh and continued to move his boxes. Too bad he doesn't know Mike works as a drug dealer at my 'stupid pedophile job', but I'll keep that one to myself.

After a few minutes of him mumbling and getting his things together, Mike was outside.  He came in to help with Vic's belongings.

"I still can keep my job, right?" He asked when Vic went to get some things out of the closet. I laughed a bit and nodded before Vic came out of the closet.

"Lets go, Mike. Don't talk to that it." Vic snarled. I laughed under my breath. Someone's pissy.

"I'm assuming you're getting the rest of your stuff later this week?" I asked Vic before he left.

"Sure. Whatever," he mumbled before leaving. He really doesn't want to talk to me. I just shrugged and was planning on getting ready to go to bed, but Vic continued to talk. Great.

"You know what, Zack? I hope you have a terrible life head if you. I hope you go to hell!" He screamed outside the door, causing me to shrug again.

"Oh well, I guess I'll see you in hell then." I smirked while leaning on the door.

"Have fun with your stupid illegal job!" He said before getting into the car.

"Have fun living with your parents!" I shouted, which caused an annoying scream to come from Mike's car, which was obviously Vic. I smiled to myself, which didn't last for a while. All of that actually happened, and it's processing in my brain. I deeply sighed, closed the door, and attempted to go to bed. Unfortunately, all of the sad thoughts kick in when there's nothing around to distract me, which caused me to cry myself to sleep.
