zach had been m.i.a. for almost two months. no posts on instagram, no tweets, and no contact with chloe.

"it just sucks that he's gone. i didn't even get to say goodbye," chloe rambled over group facetime.

"he probably wanted to say goodbye, but he didn't know how," corbyn suggested.

"yeah, but i miss him," chloe sighed.

"he's still kind of close, distance wise," stella pointed out.

"how about we get your mind off zach?" jonah recommended, "let's all go to the mall."

"yeah, we haven't gone in so long," sadie agreed.

"alright, i'm down," chloe declared, "meet you all there in twenty."

chloe, stella, sadie, violet, lake, jonah, corbyn, daniel, and jack all walked into the ford mall.

"the last time we were here, we didn't even know who we all were," stella mentioned.

"you're right," corbyn said, wrapping his arm around her, "i'm glad i know you now."

"yuck," lake gagged, "i'm too single for all of this."

oh, just you wait till valentine's day, lake, daniel thought.

jonah stopped in his steps.

"why'd you stop?" sadie asked.

"we need to go, now," jonah declared.

"why, what's wrong?" chloe inquired.

"whatever you do, don't look straight ahead," jonah commanded.

"the more you say that, the more i want to!" chloe whined.

she moved to a better angle, and looked forward. but, she saw something she didn't want to see.

zach was at the mall with his arm around another girl.
