But Why

Zach's POV

They both sat in the back seat, crying softly until they reached the school. Jack, followed by Zach, walked off the bus and headed towards the school's entrance. Both boys decided that they'd talk during lunch in the bathroom.

Zach, who was wiping his tears on his sleeves, couldn't stop sobbing as he walked to his locker. His eyes were puffy and red. Everyone who passed him in the hall, pointed fingers at him; some were sympathetic, and some were mocking.

In every morning class he had with Jack, they wouldn't talk, or even look at each other. Jack would try to speak with him but he felt that Zach needed space.

By the time lunch started, Zach was already in the bathroom, sitting in the corner farthest from the mirrors. Tears were starting to form and he didn't stop them from falling.

About five minutes passed and Jack walked in with two apples. He handed one to Zach, who refused it.

"Come on, you need to eat," he said encouragingly. Jack sat down next to Zach and took his hand, placed the apple in it and placed the hand back on Zach's lap.

"WHhy is this happening," Zach was now sobbing. He pulled his knees to his chest and buried his head on top of them. The apple dropped out of his hand and rolled away.

Jack scooted closer to Zach and wrapped an arm around him, attempting to comfort him. Zach lifted his head and looked at him with sad eyes.

"Please, let me help you," Jack opened his other arm for a hug, smiling faintly. His eyes watered and was starting to cry, "I want to help you." He dropped his arm, thinking he didn't want a hug.

Zach had stopped crying and wiped a few tears. "Why? Why would you want to help me?" He shifted so he was sitting across from him, face-to-face.

"I don't know, I don't understand what's going on. I don't know who's truly bullying you but, I do know that I want to help you. I know you need it, but you can't just keep running away from this. Let me help, please." Jack said this quickly and was out of breath. They were looking each other in the eyes for a few seconds until Zach couldn't take it anymore.

He lunged forward and wrapped his arms around Jack, knocking him over. He hugged him for what seemed like hours. Zach buried his face in Jack's neck and whisper-smiled."Thank you."

They fell asleep and slept on the bathroom floor until 5th period. When they woke up, they decided to skip the rest of the school day.

Hey, so sorry, it took a while for me to find the right kind of idea, so I broke it in half and that was part one. Hope you enjoyed and maybe you'll vote and subscribe. Totally your choice :3
