"i'm not gonna leave.. until you say that you don't actually want a relationship with this freak of a human." the boy spat at him, "okay that's it."

jack punched the guy in the face. "no one talks about him that way you hear me? no one. ever. so walk away. now."

after the boy left, zach slid down the lockers and onto the floor, breaking down in tears. jack followed his actions and sat next to him. "zach.." "sc-scary side." was all zach whispered. "i'm sorry. i didn't mean to scare you."

"but you can't listen to him, okay? don't listen to a word he told you zach. none of what he said was true. i love you. i love you so fucking much it hurts." jack told him.

"you're gonna get suspended for punching him." zach sniffed, "i don't care. i would punch him a million times, if it meant that he would leave you alone."

"are you sure you don't want to skip now? we can call in sick, i'll take you home." "i c-can't.." "zach you are in no condition to learn about world history right now. i'm taking you home, and i'm not saying this as your boyfriend, but as your best friend who's known you your whole life, let's go."

it took a moment for zach to agree, but he did. jack texted daniel that they were leaving and he'll come pick daniel up afterward.

he drove them to jack's house and took him up to his bed. zach fell asleep shortly after jack put him down. just waking up around the time jack was to pick up daniel.

"baby.." jack whispered, looking down at his boyfriend who was slowly opening his eyes. "hey, baby... look i gotta go pick up dani, i'll be back in a few minutes okay?"

zach just groaned as he nodded, wanting to go back to sleep. "i love you." jack whispered again, placing a soft, lingering kiss to the boy's temple before getting off the bed.

he drove quite quickly to the school, surprised on how he didn't get a ticket. but was thankful that he didn't.

daniel had been waiting against the wall outside the school for jack to pull up. the two drove past a mcdonald's and decided on picking some food up for themselves and zach.

"how's he feeling?" "he's tired. can't blame him though. god i hate our school, everyone's a fucking jerk." jack hit his hand against the steering wheel in frustration.

"and majority of them are jerks that you've fucked," daniel pointed out. "i only hooked up with people to try and escape my own feelings." "your own feelings? toward what?"

"zach." "seriously?" daniel raised an eyebrow, "i always knew that i felt something for him, hardest part was choosing to admit that i was in love with my best friend. so when he told me that he loved me over the summer, i finally felt like i could admit that."

"but before, i just... i didn't want to face that so i turned to sex with other people, but every time.. i always wished it was zach that i was with. and now, i'm with him and no one can seem to let it go."

"jack... you've got to figure something out. they're tearing him apart. it's not okay anymore." daniel sighed, "i know it's not. god even his fucking father! josh is turning in to more and more of an asshole the longer zach and i are together and i want that to stop but i am never leaving zach so i don't know what to do!"

daniel felt bad for them, for some reason, those two just can't seem to have others support them. well, some do obviously, but not a lot. which can suck. "i don't think there's anything you can do about that jack. josh isn't going to turn things around like that," daniel snapped his fingers to make a point.

"i know. i just... what if i talked to him? do you think that'll help?" "if anything i think it'll make it worse. you talking to josh about how he's being a dick about you and zach will probably make him more pissed off about the whole thing."

"yeah, you're probably right." jack sighed sadly. "god- why zach? i-i mean.. he's the sweetest kid. why do people have to be so fucking cruel to him?"

"i think it's because they know that he's too sweet to do anything about it. they know that he won't say anything about it." "yeah i guess.. i just hate it. i wish i could change it, but–" "but you feel like it's too late, too much damage has been done."

jack stayed silent for a moment, just looking at daniel. "e-exactly." "can i tell you something?"

"of course dani, what's going on?" "i– okay i already talked to zach about this, i needed his help to make sense of what i was feeling... but, i think... i still want corbyn."

daniel sighed, closing his eyes. "and you want to have him back, but you think you've ruined it too much already."

"yeah... and even if i did want to try and get him back, i have no idea how i would go about doing that." "if it were me and zach... i think i would start by going to see him."
