Quin walked into Zoe's room as she sat up in her bed against the pillows on her bed, limply watching the television show on her wall.

"What are you watching?" He asked, sitting down next to her.

Zoe gave him a smile. "A Spanish soap opera."

"Ah, yes, something I'll never understand." Quin nodded.

Zoe giggled, taking his hand. "I'll teach you Spanish someday."

"I'm holding you to that." He leaned over and pecked her lips.

"Are you sure you'll be alright here alone today? I swear, I can stay home."

"Quin, you missed two days of school. Both you and Blayke have. You guys need to stop fussing over me and go back to school so people don't think we died or something." Zoe told him sternly.

"Please remember to tell Madison, and Rain that I don't want any visitors for a few days."

"I will." Quin sighed. "I'm don't want to leave you here alone, Zoe."

"My mom will be coming home on her lunch hour to check in on me." Zoe told him.

"My daddy will be calling all day long. I'm sure you'll be texting as well."

"Yes." Quin sighed and leaned over to kiss her cheek. "Text me if you need anything."

"I will, I will." Zoe reassured him. "Everything's going to be fine."

Blayke came in next. "Quin, my mom says we better get going or else we'll be late." He walked over and kissed Zoe's head.

"Love you, sis. Text us if you need anything and we'll be here in a heartbeat."

"I'll call mom or dad before I text you guys for something while you're in school." Zoe told him with a smile. "Love you too."

Quin pecked her lips again. "Love you so much, babygirl."

"Love you too, baby boy." Zoe watched as Quin and Blayke left the room slowly, waving goodbye to them as they went.

"No, Madison." Quin grumbled as he closed his locker and stood up, adjusting his backpack.

Madison had fire in her eyes. "First, you refuse to tell me what happened to Zoe, and then you tell me, but then add in that I can't go visit her? Oh, you have another thing coming!"

"Why do you care so much?" Quin asked, annoyed. "You don't give a crap about anyone."

"Zoe's my best friend, believe it or not." Madison growled.

Quin raised his eyebrows.

"Really? You've never had a best friend…someone's going soft."

"Shut up and just let me visit her today." Madison snapped as they began walking to class.

"I'll only be an hour, or two hours tops."

"No." Quin said sternly. "Zoe's too weak and will be for a couple of days. Visitors will wear her out."

"Oh quit being so overprotective of her and let me see her." Madison said as Quin opened the door to his class.

"Don't walk away from me…Quin…" She was gritting her teeth together as Quin threw her a smirk and then walked into class.

"Beck…come back here." She tapped her foot, waiting for Quin to come back out…he didn't.

"Quin…Quin…QUIN!"
