Twenty-nine: 1, 2, 3

Zach's POV

"C'mon, Nikki. Answer the phone." I whisper inti the phone waiting fir her to answer

"What, Zach." She says blankly as she answers the phone

"Are you okay? I came in to check on you guy's, jack was beyond pissed and had no idea where you wen't. He thought you were still in the room. Where are you?" I ask in a bit of a panic

"I'm fine, i'm at Tessa's or whoever's with angel." She sighs as she speaks

"Look, Nikki. I know things suck right now, but he cares. He does. He just doesn't know how to show it. When we couldn't find you, he lost his shit. He freaked out. I know he won't say it, but he loves you. I've never seen him act like this towards anyone, yes he's confusing and crazy, but so are you. Trust me, Nikki. You guys belong together." I finish talking and and wait for my reply

"I love you, Zach. I do, but please. Just stop. Jack doesn't love me, and thats okay. I don't expect him to, but I expect you as my best friend, and as his, to just let whatever happens happen. Don't try to fix it. Don't put yourself in the middle of it. Just let it be, please." I try to talk, but she cuts me off

"Believe me, Nikki. He doesn't fight for people, he doesn't cry over girls, he doesn't put up with people's shit, but he did all of this for you. He put up with you. He cried for you. He fought for you. He loves you, nikki. He just needs a way to tell you." I try ti convince her but all she does is let out a sad laugh

"Zachy, thank you. Thank you for trying so much. But he doesn't love me, and thats okay with me. I get it, i do. But please, just stop. This isn't helping, if anything it's making it more complicated. I appreciate you doing this, but don't put yourself in the middle. You don't need it. I love you, zach. Goodnight." Before i can say anything she had already hung up leaving me with my thoughts

I flop on my bed and just stare at the ceiling.

I know what I'm talking about, i've been best friends with them both for years now, i know what they are like. I know how they feel. I can see it. They just need to...

I sit with my thoughts for a while before someone bursts into the room

"Zach, i have a plan."

I look up to see Corbyn standing in the doorway with a huge smile on his face

"Well don't just stand there! Tell me." I pat the bed next to me as he begins to talk

"Jack and I were talking, and he wants Nikki back. He started crying, he said he fucked up the best thing to ever happen to him. He lost his life, man. He lost her." Corbyn explains as he sits

"Well shit dude, i knew that. But what about it?" I ask

"Grab your guitar." Jack say's as he walks past the room

"Uh...?" I look to corbyn for answers

"You heard the man." He smiles and i just do as told

Nikki's POV

"Angelllll." I whine as i lay across her bed

"Get dressed, wear something hot. Were going out." She demands throwing clothes at me

"Noo." I pout and throw then back

"I wasn't asking." She laughs and throws them back

"Fine." I roll my eyes and get dressed

I wear a pair of black high waisted shorts with sheer black top and a black bra with a pair if black slightly platformed converse type shoes

"Where are we going?" I ask as we get in Tessa's car
