Power Moves - Exodus

Chapter 10: You should distract me...before i go and hurt someone

"When.." Zach asked, his lips barely few millimeters away from hers,

"To-today?" she whispered, looking into his eyes with tears streaming down her face..she couldn't tear her eyes away from Justin, who lay there motionless. Zach leaned down further till he was close to her ears, "I'll come to pick you up at 6 o clock sharp, and im warning you don't be late.." he said, letting go of her roughly.

Zach whistled pointing to the other two boys who had tried to block Leila earlier "take him to the infirmary.., there's already an ambulance waiting to take him to the Williams Private hospital" he said, he took out a cigarette from his blazer, and then put the blazer back on, walking out of the cafeteria..

"What the hell was that ?" Nico said silently giving out a small whistle and shaking his head,

"Did you see that coming?" Taylor asked Xavier, but Xavier stood still in shock, while staring at the blood of Justin on the floor being cleaned by the cafeteria cleaners. Did Zach just manage to manipulate Leila to go live with him? And most importantly Zach and Xavier had a very big secret to hide..how in the world will Zach manage to hide that secret from Leila if she were to live with him...?

"Not exactly.." Xavier said , he looked around and could see the cafeteria was starting to talk again, everything went back to normal quickly as if nothing had happened. 

"but...that's just Zach Williams style.." he said getting up from the cafeteria, he walked out of the glass doors, through the grass field back into the main school building, frantically searching for him. He crossed the lockers, and saw Zach hanging out with Leon and Kyle from before, he was taking money out of his wallet while smoking. Xavier walked up to him and grabbed him roughly and shoved him into the locker

"Excuse us boys...we have something to discuss.." Xavier said dangerously, "so you better get the hell out of here.." he said staring at Kyle and Leon.

"What the hell do you think you are doing !" Zach asked, shoving him back into the locker on the opposite side of the wall

"Just what do you think YOU are doing Zach ! You know exactly what goes on in your house...why are you getting her involved in that !" Xavier asked

"I'm NOT going to get her involved!"

"Oh really ? And just how will you manage to hide it from her?" Xavier asked grabbing Zach roughly by the collar, his eyes livid with anger

"don't worry I've got it handled ! Now get your hands off me before I lose it.." Zach said angrily

"I hope you know what you're doing..if she finds out..there will be no way for you to protect her from me.." Xavier said as he pushed Zach roughly back into the locker

Zach looked at him smiling an inquisitive smile " 'protect her from me..' ? " Zach repeated Xavier's words in a whisper after him, smiling slyly "..which me are we talking about hmm? But this is so interesting..is this Xavier Johnston talking...or someone else..?" he asked raising his eyebrow in interest

"You figure it out.." Xavier said, walking away in seething in anger.

Leila was on the bus back home, exhausted, worried, and most of all terrified. Terrified because one, she didn't know how she was going to tell her Aunt Margot that she had to leave...and how long was she leaving for? A few days? A month? Indefinitely? She had no idea, what to tell her aunt. All Zach said was that she was going to "live with him" Wtf did that actually mean? She needed to have a strategy, and she better think fast she looked down at her watch, it was already 4pm.
