Sadness Is A Numbing Pain

PLAY THE SONG NOW—

ZACKS P.O.V—

"I said who are you Zack?" Yasmine asked me for the third time.
Shit!

"Erm I don't know what you mean." I started to stutter and I knew she knew I was lying.
"You knew what I meant when you told me the exact same explanation that my Dad gave me when he got that same tattoo."

I scoffed "It's a small world-"
"And yet you still Lie to me?" She interrupted me.

Maybe I should just come out and say it?

"Okay I'm sorry for lying to you but I'm ready to tell you the real truth....I'm your-"
"Yaz?" Ethan cut in and both of our heads turned to his direction.
I can't believe I'm saying this but...THANK YOU ETHAN.

"Yeah hold on Zacks just telling me something-"
"No Yasmine we're going." Ethan slightly raised his voice and Yasmine nodded.

"Go on, your Daddy awaits." I mumbled to her and she rolled her eyes at me before walking off with Ethan.

I watched them both go back to class and I was left alone in the hallways.
I completely forgot about the tattoos and that Yasmine's Dad, whose also my Dad has the same exact one as me. My mom showed me a picture of her and my Dad back in the day and I noticed his tattoo in the picture.

I always wanted it because it made me feel closer to my father even though I have no idea what he's like but Yasmine's gonna help me, she's gonna help me meet my father and I'm gonna let her meet her real mother.

After School—
ETHANS P.O.V—

"I don't get his problem, why can't he just leave Yasmine alone?!" I was ranting on to Grayson about Zack and he just sat on his bed, looking down at his phone screen.

"Can't you just learn to share Mrs Distraction?" Grayson chuckled.
"what No! I would never and stop calling her Mrs Distraction."

"Grayson!-"
"WHAT!" He shouted at me after I tried to get his attention.

"Who are you texting?" I asked.
"I'm not texting anyone."

I wondered what he was doing and I snatched Graysons phone out of his hands and I took a look.

It was a search online for someone. Zack.
"Please tell me you're not stalking Zack?" I huffed.
Grayson got up from the bed and took his phone.

"Yes research says he's not the new kid, Zacks been living in this town ever since he was little." He read out from his phone.
Then what school did Zack go to before?

"What else does it say?" I asked curiously.
"Erm lemme check, it says Zackary Cortez, mother Vanessa Hale and his Dads name is Henry Cortez."

When I heard that last name, it sounded really familiar.
"Henry Cortez?" I repeated and Grayson nodded.
That's Yasmine's Dads name.

"Ethan?" Grayson gave me a worried look.
"Henry's Yasmine's Dads name."

"So that means-"
"Zack is Yasmine's b-bro-brother." I finally said the words.

"Where's Yasmine now?" I asked.

"She's at Allison's, why what are you gonna do?"
"I'm gonna expose the fucker." I grinned.

I grabbed my black hoodie and ran out of the door.
When I got out of the house, I slipped on the hoodie and put the hood up.

Allison's house wasn't so far from Yasmines and when I reached there, I stood outside of the door and hesitated to knock.

I rang the doorbell and Allison's mom opened it.
When she saw it was me, she slightly closed the  door after getting startled.
Shit the hood!
