It's the next day and Zach still feels guilty.

He has to tell someone but who.

After he lays Julia down in Daniels bed he walks quietly to Corbyn's room

"Corbyn" he whispers

Corbyn wakes up with a groan and stares at Zach

"What! I'm trying to sleep"

"I need to talk to you"

"Wait a few minutes"

"No I have to leave in ten minutes and I need to talk now"

"Ugh" Corbyn sits up and points across from him to where he wants Zach to sit

He sits down and sighs

"So what did you do"

"I-I cheated" he whispers

"What was that"

"I cheated"

"ZACHARY DEAN HERRON! What is wrong with you"

"I don't know! I'm an idiot"

"You really are. She is in love with you and you do that."

"Well what do i do"

"You have to tell her"

"But how"

"Just rip off the bandaid you can't keep it from her. The longer you hide it the more hurt she'll get when she finds out"

"She's going to be devastated"

"Well yeah her dick boyfriend cheated on her. Who was it with anyways"

"Nicole" he whispers

"HER BEST FRIEND"

"Shh"

"You need to get evaluated.  Seriously you are helpless. Cheating is one thing but with her ex best friend is a whole other sort of evil."

"Corbyn! You aren't helping me"

"You know I don't think I want to help you. You don't deserve anyone's help"

"Whatever I'm leaving"

"Hey don't be upset at me. I've never cheated on anyone with their best friend"

"Goodbye Corbyn"

"Goodbye dickhead"

Zach rolls his eyes and heads to school
-
"Hey Zach we need to talk" Nicole says when he gets to school

"I don't want to talk to you"

"Hey don't be mad at me"

"You made me cheat on my girlfriend"

"You came over my house knowing exactly what you were doing"

"You could've stopped me"

"I told you yesterday that it was my only chance with you"

"And you were right it is"

"Maybe if Julia breaks up with you we can date"

"Not gonna happen"
-
Back at home Julia just woke up and is trying to wake up Daniel cause she's bored

"Stop poking me" Daniel groans pushing her away

"But Dani I'm boooooored"

"Go on your phone I'm trying to sleep"

"Ugh you're no fun" she says rolling her eyes and going on her phone

She immediately goes to messages and texts Zach

J- I'm booooored

Z- hi

J- talk to meeee

Z- I can't I'm at school

J- but Zach I'm bored

Z- sorry

J- are you mad at me

Z- no

J- you're only giving me one word answers

Z- oh my god I'm not mad Stop

J- you're being mean again

Z- whatever just stop texting me

J- what did I do????

Z- just stop I'm going to school bye

J- bye 😕

She frowns at how mean he's being and Daniel wakes up

"What's wrong?" He asks her seeing her frown

"He's being mean to me again"

"I'm going to talk to him when he gets home about this"

"Dani no"

"Yes I don't like how mean he's becoming"

"He's just stressed with school"

"So he still can't be mean to you. Plus he's making you upset"

"I'm fine Dani seriously stop"

"Fine but if he's mean to you again I'm talking to him"

"Okay you do that"

They get out of bed and go downstairs for breakfast

Corbyn sees them in the kitchen and decides he has to tell Daniel about what Zach did

He just learned this information and it's eating him alive

"Daniel... I need to talk to you. Now!" Corbyn says coming into the kitchen

"Um okay then"
