ZACH/GRASER10'S POV

Swallowing my sandwich, I got up and shoved the plate in the dishwasher. I poked my head in the bedroom to see if Shelby was awake and wanted lunch, and she was not. She was sleeping a lot lately, but being just over eight months pregnant, that was understandable.
I went to my office to record. I also had today's video to edit, so I had decided to edit them both after save time.
I was thirty minutes into a dropper map with Will, when I got a call.
"Hey, Will, H is calling me."
"Well answer it. If it's something funny we can keep it in, if it's not we can cut it out." He replied.
"Okay." I pressed green.

"Graser! Thanks for finally picking up!"
"Say hi to my video H!" I laughed.
He sighed. "Hello, Graser's video."
"Hello H!" Will piped up.
"Oh hi. Listen, can you come over to mine tomorrow, I need help on stuff."
"Hey, what about me?" asked Will, pretending to cry.
"Dude, you live in the UK. He lives in L.A.."
Will put on a big fake sigh. "Uhhh, I know. Me and Em have to move sometime."
"Nooooo!" I yelled. "Our British boy can't move to the US! He won't be British anymore!"
H sighed again. "Well Grase? Are you coming or what?"

So as it happened, the next morning, 7th April 2020, I was in the car to San Diego (apparently where H lives in 2020, idk), to find him wasted and asleep in his car.
"Dude, what the f*** have you been doing?" I asked him, once I'd got him awake.
He took a deep breath. "This is what I wanted to talk to you about. It's my girlfriend."
"You have a girlfriend?"
"Don't sound so surprised." He grumbled. It started to rain, so I got in his car. "She's absolutely gorgeous, but crazy. Literally takes me out every night to go clubbing, I end up high and drunk af, and..." he trailed off.
I stared at him. "Well why don't you dump her?"
"Don't you think I've tried? Every time I try to bring up the topic, she wraps me around her little finger again." He sighed.

We sat in the car in silence. Raindrops pattered on the roof. What situations my friends get in, I don't know.
He switched on his phone. "Look." He said, showing me his lock screen. It was a picture of him and some hot ass girl, with long ginger hair, lovely pale skin covered with freckles and bright green eyes framed with thick lashes.
"Wow."
"I know, right?"
More silence.
"What's her name?" I asked.
He smiled. "Lily. It's kinda funny, right?"
"Why's it funny?"
"Harry Potter's mom?" He told me.
"Oh yeah. Well, I th-" I was interrupted by my phone ringing.
I looked at the number. My heart stopped, I don't know why.
"Shelby." I breathed.
I pressed green.
"Zach?"
"Shelby, what's up?"
"I think the baby's coming."
