Depressed Texting ( Why Don't We )

Real Life (12)

"Zach?" Corbyn said loudly as the chocolate haired boy walked by him.

"No, Corbyn." Zach whispered, waving his hand in the air.

"Please-"

"If I talk to you, Connor will be upset. Okay? Just piss off." Zach said

Corbyn shook his head and softly grabbed onto Zach's hand. He guided Zach quickly down the hallway and into the boys bathroom.

"Zach- come on. We need to talk." Corbyn said referring to the text messages from their group chat last night.

"No, you said what you said." Zach puffed out his chest in anger and turned his face away from Corbyn.

"He's been hitting you, hasn't he?" Corbyn said softly.

Zach nodded his hand, rubbing his hands together.

"You don't think we've noticed the bruises?" Corbyn asked and shook his head in Zach's direction. "You're a silly boy, zach. We all care about you- Connors not right for you."

"You don't know anything about me." Zach said and pushed Corbyn. "You think everyone gets abused. Just because your daddy hits you doesn't mean everyone gets abused." Zach said and shoved Corbyn to the ground, leaving the faux blonde hopeless.

Zach grabbed his bag angrily and ran out of the bathroom. Corbyn's eyes widened and the though of the events that just happened. He was shocked, nervous for the younger boy.

Corbyn got up and walked slowly to class. He regret ever trying to help zach, maybe zach was right, abuse isn't a common thing in relationship. Maybe it was just all of the flashbacks and experience Corbyn suffers is clouding his mind and making him think that everyone is bad.

Corbyn let a tears glide down his face as he sat down in his physics class. He placed his head in his hands and began worrying even more for his friend.

"Hey, Corbs." He heard his best friend say. He looked up and smiled at Jack.

Jack quietly sat down next to the faux blonde and gave him a worried look. "Everything okay?"

"Yeah, of corse." Corbyn said putting on the fakest smile he's so use to using.

"No it's not. What happened?"

Corbyn took a deep breath and frowned. "Zach- I tried asking him about the abuse and he said 'just because your daddy hits you doesn't mean everyone else is abused'".

Jack's mouth hung opened and he gasped. "Zach didn't say that- did he really?"

Corbyn nodded his head and began to cry in the arms of the curly haired boy.

Zach Herron knew in his heart that what he said was wrong- but he couldn't help it. He couldn't let anyone know about it- according to connor.

Zach kisses Connor's cheek as he say down at the lunch table with his boyfriend. Connor smiled and wrapped his arms around the skinny waist of Zach.

Zach grabbed onto his chicken nugget but was stopped by Connor. "Don't you think that's a little too unhealthy for you?"

"No, you know I love chicken nuggets." Zach poured and placed it back on his school tray.

"I know, but maybe you should try to cut them out of your diet. You don't do sports or anything, I'm just helping you stay in shape- you know?" Connor said and ate one of the chicken nuggets.

Zach's eyebrows scrunched together at the words his boyfriend spoke. Was he fat shaming me, zach thought to himself.

"I- you're right. Well I'll go buy something else." Zach said getting up but was pulled down by the cold hands of Connor.

"No- just skip your lunch today, it'll be okay." Connor said and kissed Zach's lips. "I'm only saying this because I care."
