"um justin, i'm going to go use the ladies restroom." i smiled and got up from my seat to go.

when i got to the restroom, i immediately called zion.

"wha-"

"okay first of y'all, him and i are hanging out at a cafe. second, i'm not obsessed with you. HE asked ME to come here. how could i be obsessed with such a low-life bitch? and last, how am i acting like a hoe? for one, you're the hoe who sleeps with girls left and right not giving a shit."

after i said that, there was silence on the line.

"just go back to texas god dammit. canada. or better, out of my life." "all i'm doing is breathing right now zion. i'm doing nothing but living my life, zion-free. why can't YOU just leave ME alone?" "are you blin- never mind. just- just leave me alone please." "hey, you're the one who texted me, don't forget that."

there was more silence before he hung up.

what am i doing that's bugging him so much?

after a couple of minutes, i got a text.

unknown
hey is this olivia?
if so, you need to listen to me.

zion's pov

i woke up from my nap to hear the boys talking loudly.

"what are y'all bickering about?" i asked.

"oh, hey zion. um, we were just talking about... what shirt you should wear today for the party," edwin said. "anyways, i think he should wear the black one." edwin continued.

"yeah, but zion can choose which shirt he wants too, it's not up to us to worry about what he wears." austin responded. "austin, we want him to look good, and feel good too." brandon said.

i looked at nick, who was sitting in the couch.

"in a black tee?" i sat up. "yes!" everyone synced. "suddenly, i'm not so sure that this is about a tee shirt.."

"austin, you're clearly not getting it." brandon put his hand in austin's shoulder. "yeah, clearly not." austin brushed it off and sat on the couch.

"i'm not in this." nick told me and crossed his arms, watching the "show".

"austin, this shirt could change his life, for the better!" "no it can't, it's just a shirt, that we haven't even seen before." "okay, what is going on?"

as brandon was about to explain, there was a knock on the door.

"i'll get it." edwin called and tripped on the way to the door.

before he opened the door, he looked and me. "i love you." he mouthed. what the hell is this all about. he prayed, and opened the door.

"olivia?" "zion?"
