"Tell me what happened?" I insisted and she began to cry out aloud.

"Emiii what's wrong?" I sat beside her and she buried her face into my arms. I hugged her tightly and calmed herself.

"What's going on here?" Eric stood before us with narrowed eyes and shook my head giving the sign not to speak up so he remained quiet.

Emily pulled back from the hug and rubbed her eyes.We both kept looking at her to utter a word about what has happened to make her cry.

"Can we have a moment?" Emily asked while wiping away her tears and I looked up at Eric so he left.( He got the sign yeah!)

"Okay now tell me" I insisted.

"Z..Zed" Emily uttered.

"What's with him? Did he say something bad?"

"No I saw him with....." She stopped as Zed came running towards us.

" Hey whatever you saw upstairs, it was nothing okay" he said while panting. He looked terrified.

"What happened upstairs?" I got up and yelled at them making both flinched.

"It was nothing!" Zed announced with a shaking voice.

"Well it seems like something" I remarked and I saw all our friends walking towards us.

"Bro why you look all ...." Tim asked making all our eyes narrowed at Zed.

"Explain Zed" I insisted. I know I'm being a little harsh on him but I worry really about Emily right now.

"So why don't you tell them?" Zed's eyes became watery and he walked out ignoring everything.

"What did you see Emily?" Noah asked breaking the silence and we all waited for an answer.

"I caught Zed kissing...." Eric cut her off with his gasping.

"Who? His cousin?" Josh asked.

"NO! Liam" As she announced the secret kisser of Zed , everyone's jaw dropped.

"Wait what!" Noah exclaimed with widened eyes.

"He's like gay or what?" Eric questioned and Emily nodded in yes. Woah woah! I never thought......seriously Zed? He has been hiding since when?

"Omg!! I think you guys should run after him, he looked upset" I asked the guys and they all nodded in agreement.

"Yeah we'll sort things out" Eric said.

"There's nothing to sort out just make sure he's okay" I insisted.

The boys ran out searching for Zed and I remained with Emily to calm her down. I know it's hard for Zed but Emily is more hurt. She loved him so much!

The homecoming night looked dull suddenly! Our friends went missing. Zed is embarrassed, Emily is hurt and all of us is worried . I felt like the happiness faded away.
