Addison's POV
We arrive at principal Lee's office. She sees us and looks concerned. At this point I was only standing near zed.
"What happened." She asks seriously seeing my tear stained face.
"We had an incident." Zed speaks up. Principle Lee looks surprised.
"Well What was it." She asked. A second later the chemistry teacher walk in with colt. He had his hand to his head from zeds punch.
"You should talk to this one for answers." The chemistry teacher said.
"Ms. Lynn thank you. Please go rally up kids that may be involved in this situation. I will sent in a sub for you." Principal Lee said. The teacher nodded and left.
"Now Addison lets talk while you two sit outside." She said looking at colt and zed. A security guard went with them. She gestures me to sit down.
"Why don't you tell me what has happened." She says understandingly.
"It's started about a week ago. At first it started small with continuous flirting. Then sometimes he would start touching my hair and my shoulders. It made me feel scared and upset." I tell her.
"I understand but why did you come to me today." She questions me.
"I thought maybe he would find another girls would fall for him and he'd leave me alone but it was the opposite." I told her.
"What did he do today." She asks.
"Today he forcefully kissed me and then pushed me against a wall while doing it. Zed has to physically hurt him to make him stop. If he handy I think that zed would have gotten hurt to. " I explain to her while tears run down my cheeks.
"Alright we will just ask some other people questions about him to see if this happened to any others." She told me.
"Ok." I tell her and I walk out. The rest of the day people were in and out of that room telling principle Lee what they knew. I saw Eliza and Bree go in. When they came out the talked to me for a while and hugged me. A lot of girls went in as well and, said the same thing but some worse. A lot of guys said that they knew but were afraid of physical violence if they told. In the end colt was expelled and accused of a crime for multiple forms of assault. He is being sent to court and possibly jail. Oddly enough I can't decide if I'm still horrified or relived.. Bucky told me not to go to Cheer this week and to just forget about everything. I'm now sitting with zed on a bench in the hallway.
"You know that principle Lee said that we can go home early right" he said comforting me.
"I don't want go home right now." I say emotionless
"Do you want to go somewhere." He asks.
"Yeah." I say. We stand up and leave the school. We then head to our favorite spot. The zombie light garden.

Zeds POV
Poor Addison. Everything is ok again and yet nothing's ok. She looks alive but dead. Human but not even really. She still Addison on the outside but not in the inside. She looks so sad and miserable.i get it. Something way worse could have happened to her. She's scarred, possibly forever. All he had to do was force her to leave school and then it could have affected for the rest of her life. I bet that's all she about right now. That one question must be circling her mind. That "What if" question. She doesn't deserve this. She such a good person and now she looks like she doesn't believe it good people. I just want all to disappear from her thought. I want her to know that it will never happen again. We arrive at the zombie light garden. She sits down near the light and says nothing.
"Are you ok?" I ask her again. I know she's not but I need to hear it from her.
"No. I feel nothing. I don't feel emotions right now. I'm not happy, or sad or scared. I don't feel brave, or even relief." She says with any type of emotion. I put my hand on hers. She doesn't react.
"I don't feel like myself." She says.
"Can I do anything." I ask.
"No. There isn't really anything you can do or say to make me feel normal again." She said with a single tear falling down her cheek. I can't stand watching her treat herself this way. It's over now. She should be relieved and happy and I want her to feel that way. I don't want feel bad for her but right she may just need me to supportive.
"I can't even imagine how you feel right now." I say with sorrow.
" I don't expect you to." She says blankly
"You know I'm here for you right." I say putting my hand on her shoulder. She shrugs it off. She never does that. Maybe she doesn't need me around. Maybe she just wanted to be here alone.
"Maybe I should go." I say sadly as I begin to walk away.

Addison's POV
"Maybe I should go." He said with hurt in voice. I don't want him.
"Zed Im...." I say while I stand up but he's already gone. I'm so stupid. Maybe instead of sulking I should have let him talk to me. All he wanted to do was be there for me and make sure that I wasn't scarred for life. I know I am. I should have told him that. I sit back down and bury my knees into my chest. He should be with someone else better then me. Wait what an I thinking. This isn't me. This isn't the cheery Addison. This is depressing Addison and I hate her. The real me would go after zed and tell him how much I value his affection and would apologize. That's exacting what I'm gonna do. I run outside and see him with his head dropped down. All of a sudden my confidence in myself drops. Maybe this is what he wanted. Maybe he left me alone so that I could think about everything. No. No excuses. I begin to run.
Zeds POV.
I shouldn't have left her alone. She probably thinks I hate her. That I don't care. I do so I should go back. I turn around to run but I bump into a body and it falls to the ground. Addison.
This chapter could have made me cry but I'm stone hearted unfortunately. I left you on a cliff hanger and don't hate me. Bye the time you read this I will probably already be done with the next chapter so don't you wait. THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR 5k. Love you guys. BYEEEE
