We stayed back in my room for quite a while, we both started to get hungry, that's when we realized it was time to get out.

As we headed to the kitchen, there wasn't anybody in sight, I felt kind of relieved, I thought I would have to deal with the pissed guests.

I looked through the fridge, while Shawn looked through the drawers, I really did need to go grocery shopping as soon as this storm is over, I'm running out of food.

"Bingo!" I shouted, once I finally found a box of kraft mac and cheese, it's not the most gourmet food item you'll get, but it'll do for now.

"What'd you find kiddo?" I tossed him the mac and cheese box. "A freaking miracle" he chuckled. "Why don't you go check on our guests while I stay here and cook my special dish" "can you handle it?" I asked, he gasped. "Excuse you, FYI, I actually can cook, pshh, you're extremely rude"

I raised my hands up in surrender. "My bad your highness, I'll get going" he waved me off. "Chop chop"

I didn't know where to start looking, I didn't want to disturb anybody in their room, so why not look in the living room.

Blake, Ethan and Zack were there, talking about who knows what, they didn't seem to notice I was there, so I just slowly walked deeper into the room.

"Hello my darlings" they looked at me. "Yo" "so Shawn is cooking up some mac and cheese, do you guys want some?" Ethan looked at Blake, who was also staring at him. "Would you like some B?" She nodded. "Sure" I looked at Zack, he shrugged.

"Okay, Zack, mind coming with me?" He shrugged and got up. I led him to the wash room, where nobody was in our sight.

"What's up with you? You've been acting all weird since you got here" he looked at me then at his hands. "Zack?"

He sighed. "It's just-" he paused. "It's just what? You know you can trust me" "it's Ethan, he's the problem" I creased my eyebrows, I don't know what his problem could possibly be.

"Ethan? What's with him?" I could see the anxious look on his eyes, as well as his rock like fists. "He's been all over Blake, ever since we got here, her eyes have been on him and only him"

"Why is that a problem?" I asked, starting to get curious. "I don't know" he groaned. "Do you like her?" "What? N-no! Of course not, that'd be insane!"

I looked at him with a 'tell me the truth already' look, he played with his hair and started biting his lip. "Okay fine, maybe I do like her" I kind of did see this coming, but it still is shocking.

"Zack, I-I don't know what to say.." he sat down on the floor and blankly stared at the wooden floor. "You don't have to say anything" he sighed.

"She's way too out of my league anyway, I kind of knew I didn't really have a chance with her" he rubbed his his eyes.

I understand where Zack is coming from, if I was him, I would honestly feel the same.

I saw him hardly chew on his light gray sweater, his palms were getting sweaty, I could hear his angry, depressed breaths all they way up here.

"I know I'll just have to move on" he pulled on his hair. "But there's something else that also concerns me"

"And what is that?" I took a seat right next to him, placing my hand on his knee, signaling him that he can trust me.

"What if Ethan is all nice to her and stuff right now, but ends up hurting her?" I furrowed my eyebrows and shook my head non stop.
