~Zach's POV~

I was laying on the bed with Zoe. She stood up, I looked at her with a puzzled look.

"What's wrong?", I asked her and she shook her head nervously.

"Nothing...I have to go", Zoe said and picked up her phone from my nightstand, I took her arm and she looked back at me.

"Why? Why do you have to go?", I asked confused.

"I...just..have to go", she answered with hesitation, not keeping her eyes off of me.

"You can't tell me why?"

I was hurt, why is she keeping secrets from me? Wasn't I her 'love'? This is just too complicated...Zoe is too complicated...Maybe she just needs some space and she doesn't want to hurt me by saying that? She shook my hand off.

"See you later", Zoe said and stormed out of my room, leaving me speechless.

~Zoe's POV~

I was laying on the bed with Zach, when I remembered I told Mitch that I'd meet him later this day. I can't dissapoint him...but why did I care about that so much?

-------------

After I 'finished' my 'conversation' with Zach, I stormed out of the room. I just didn't want him to know that I'd hang out with Mitch, because I didn't know how he'd react, judging by the previous experience. I texted Mitch to come and pick me up from the hotel and he said that he'll be there in 10 minutes. I still had some problems with walking because I hurt my neck bad in the fall, but it was nothing to be concerned about. I made my way down the stairs and in the lobby, but Liam was there...why? Isn't he at Minecon? I came closer to him.

"Hey Liam", hearing that he looked at me.

"Hey Zoe", he said with a smile on his face.

"Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be at Minecon?", I asked out of curiosity and he shrugged.

"Zach called me", I froze when I heard his words. Zach called him? Why?

"Why?", I cleared my throat.

"I don't know, he said that it was urgent."

"Oh, okay", I said and frowned.

"Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be at Minecon?", Liam asked and raised his eyebrow.

"I was...but I am going now", I stuttered.

"I know something's up. Tell me", Liam demanded and took my hand.

"Nothing, nothing's up, really", I lied but realised something.

"Wait, aren't you supposed to go up there with Zach?"

"No, he said he'd come down", Liam shrugged and I widened my eyes.

"Okay, nice talking to you, bye", quickly said and stormed out of the hotel, not waiting for Liam's answer. I saw Mitch and he waved at me, I waved back and ran towards his car.

"Hey Mitch, let's go", I breathed out and he looked at me with a puzzled look.

"What's wrong? You told me that everything's complicated...what does that mean?"

"I told you that...pffft", I laughed nervously and he raised his eyebrow.

"You are not very good at lying, didn't anyone tell you that?", he chuckled, "tell me what happened", he demanded.

"I will, just let's get in the goddamn car already!", I pointed at the car, he nodded and we went inside. He pressed the pedal and we drove off.

"Can you tell me now?", he said and glared at me and then back at the road.

"Ugh, do I have to?", I groaned.

"Yes, you do", he smirked.

"I got in a fight with someone, is that enough?", I asked a bit rudely.

"Okay, okay. No need to be hostile", he giggled and I laughed. He just has a wierd effect on me, I can't explain it... Even if I am mad, he somehow manages to cheer me up. Mitch turned the radio on and my favourite song was playing, (Let Her Go - Passenger) I couldn't resist not to sing to it.

You only need the light when it's burning low,

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow,

Only know you love her when you let her go,

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low,

Only hate the road when you're missing home,

Only know you love her when you let her go,

And you let her go.

"Wow, you sing amazing Zoe!", Mitch interrupted me. I didn't even realise that I sang out loud so I blushed.

"I am not kidding", he chuckled.

"Thanks", I smiled, "you're the first to hear me sing".

"It was my pleasure doing so", he smiled.

"Sorry for yelling at you earlier", I apologised and Mitch shook his head.

"No, it's not your fault. I shouldn't have asked if it's a touchy subject for you", he said and turned to the left to the convention center.

"I just care for you, that's all", he looked me in the eyes and stopped the car. I got lost in those beautiful hazel eyes...ahh those hazel eyes..

"Zoe?", he snapped me out and giggled. I looked away blushing but felt his arm on my cheek turning me back to him.

"I don't mind you looking at me", he smiled and I felt the chills.

WAIT? What about Zach?! Zoe, get yourself togeather! I turned away awkwardly.

"We should go", I said and he nodded.

"Yeah", he sighed.
