Friend

Thursday

The next day at school I was just in a hoodie and joggers.

I still wasn't feeling that well and I was still pretty stressed out.

"Hey jackyy how are you" Christina asks me as we stand next to the lockers

"I feel awful Chris" i say and she hugs me

"It'll be okay babe" Gabbie says to me

"I hope so" I say

Zach showed up in class slightly later than usual.

"Hey zay" i day

He just nods and smiles at me.

We didn't talk the rest of class.

At lunch I didn't eat or really speak to anyone.

"You okay jack you don't seem like yourself" corbyn says

"Yeah. Jack you know if you need to talk about anything I'm here for ya" Daniel says

"I'm fine" I say

"Jack I know something's up please if it's anything serious please tell us" Tate says

"Tate I swear I'm fine" I say and walk out

Zach didn't even follow.

3rd person

"Zach are you not gonna try and talk to him" Gabbie says

"I- Uh- he said he's fine" zach says and Jonah eye balls him

"Oh so if he says he's fine and just up and leaves. Don't eat anything nor speak your just gonna leave him alone." Jonah' says

"Zach if you don't get up and check on him then imma throw some hands" corbyn says

"Okay. I will" Zach says and goes to find jack

He goes to the bathroom and finds him in there.

"Hey jack." Zach says as he sets down beside him

"Hi" jack says

"Is everything okay" zach asks him

"No." Jack says

"What's wrong" he asks him

"It's a lot zay" he says back

"You know I'm here to listen jack" Zach says

"Yeah but I don't know if I should speak" he says

"Please Jay I don't want you to be hurting and me not knowing why so I can help" Zach says and jack let's a tear roll down his cheek

"Hey-hey don't cry" zach says trying to comfort the boy

"I can't help it" jack cries

"Im sorry if it was something I did" zach says

"No it's just a lot right now I don't even fully understand it myself" jack says and Zach nods

"Do you want to go back to the cafeteria" zach asks him

"No" jack says so they wait till after class

Zach's POV

I can't help but think that it's my fault for jacks state at the moment.

I feel like I should end things with him soon.

I talked to my mom the other night about homosexuals and she said she didn't have a problem with them. But she did if it was with one of us.

I don't know what to do.

I don't think I'm gay anymore.

I mean I don't think I love jack the way he needs to be loved.

Maybe I just love him as a friend type of way.

Yeah he's just a friend...
