Zach's P.O.V
(Back to the library, chapter 12)
... I met the eyes of Daniel, of course.

"What's up," I said not really caring what he had to say.

"What do you mean, 'What's up'? I tried to not push you to tell us what's really wrong; but now, as your best friend, I need you tell me what's going on. One day ago you came in to school with tear stains, blood shoot eyes, and black clothes on. And now come to school with the biggest smile on your face, and a matter of fact, you have A BOYFRIEND now and you didn't tell me!" Daniel said pouting.

"Well, Daniel, me and someone are having some... Problems, and I was a bit upset. And I was crying, so Brandon came and found me so he took me home, and boom; I became his boyfriend." I finished off boringly.

"First of all, who's Brandon? And second of all, who are having problems with?"

"Welp, Brandon is my boyfriend, who is absolutely amazing! And umm- I'm having problems with- umm-"

"Spit it out!" Daniel exclaimed.

"Jack" I whispered. Daniel gasped and his expression turned angry. I couldn't tell why but he just stormed off, leaving
me alone again.

Daniel's P.O.V
After what Zach just told me, I'm mad at Jack. He said he didn't know what was wrong with Zach turns out, he just lied.

I went to the gym to see if I could find Jack. Sure enough he was there, shooting baskets. He must've saw me because he stopped shooting baskets and looked my way.

"Hey," He said casually. I stopped in front of him crossing my arms, beginning to go off.

"Why did you lie to me?!" He gave me a confused face, "Why did you tell me that you didn't know what was wrong with Zach, when that was clearly a lie!" I said frustrated.

His face immediately paled, and he crossed his arms over his chest trying to play it off. "I- i don't k-know what your talking about."

"You stuttered. Which means your bitch face is lying. And don't telll me you don't know, because Zach just told me otherwise, and he wouldn't lie to me." Jack let out a longing sigh before mumbling "Maybe we are having some problems,"

I sighed before calming my mood, "Can you tell me so I can try an help?" He sniffled and nodded. He walked over to the bleachers and sat down, pulling his knees into his chest.

"It started at the party. I didn't know I was going to get as drunk as I did, but I did. I remember waking up at Zach's house, nothing before that. I, of course, got sick and after that we just stayed in all day watching movies. I fell asleep and woke up because my mom called me, she was upset that I hadn't seen her in 48 hours, and she was screaming at me which had made Zach laugh. He was just laughing and that makes me notice... He had hickeys on his neck. It may not seem like such a big deal, but it is to me. As you know me and Zach have been best friends forever. We've stuck with each other through it all, which leads to the fact that I know something that no else except Zach and I know. I'm not going to tell you because that's for Zach to tell you. But I've been protective over him ever since when it came to situations like this. So of course I freaked out and asked him where the hickeys were from. He just came at me acting as if I did something wrong. So I claimed he didn't need my help and I left, I don't know what when on with him because we weren't, and still aren't talking, I just don't understand." Jack finished off letting the tears on his cheeks fall freely.

I immediately felt sympathy for Jack, cause all he was trying to do was look out for Zach, for whatever reason. But I know that Zach gets defensive when he doesn't want to tell others something.

"Why don't you try and apologize?" I tried to make sense of the situation so everyone can go back to normal.

"But that's the thing, for starters; shouldn't he him apologizing? I mean he might be upset that I walked out on him, but he really hurt my feelings when he yelled at me the way he did, really hurt me. And I don't even know if he ever thought about this way, but did he ever wonder how I felt when he talked to me like that? And even if I did try to apologize why would he forgive me. Ugh I always mess shit up." Jack cried.

I know realize how oblivious we were being to Jack's feelings in this, so I pulled Jack into a hug letting him cry in my chest. And I'm now realizing how bad Jack actually feels, and how much he cares for Zach...

---

It's been at least 2 weeks now and everything wasn't that good.

Zach was still being distant from his friend group and hanging out with Brandon all the time.

Jack was never smiling anymore, he was always sad. He was also becoming distant from their friend group and failing some of his classes.

Daniel was upset that Zach was acting the way he was, and sad that Jack still hadn't tried to talk to Zach. Every time, he would back out. In addition to that, Corbyn was confusing with his feelings.

Jonah was mad at Daniel because he knew what was up with Zach and Jack and wouldn't tell, claiming, "it's for them to tell, not me". And he wasad at Corbyn because he was all over Daniel when Daniel was Jonah's boyfriend.

Corbyn was confused, the situation with Zach had everyone messed up. He was also confused about his feelings. He liked being close to Daniel, but he didn't know what that meant. He thought of it more as 'a friend crush', where you liked someone wanted to be generally close to them as friend.

Christina was upset because Corbyn was drifting away from her, though she wasn't upset for the right reasons. She was more upset because she didn't want to admit to herself that she was catching feelings for someone else. She more needed Corbyn to help convince herself that she was still 'in love' with Corbyn.

Gabbie was doing fine, she was trying to help the topic but nothing was working. She had a small crush on someone but knew they would never date her because they were straight.

Tate was jealous of Dani because he got Jonah, but was kinda happy because they were fighting a bit, which gave her more of an opportunity to get with Jonah.

Everyone was stuck in a mindset or situation, not knowing how to fix it.
