[ZAIRE POV]

I wanted to follow him  I wanted to follow him so bad. After everything he just ran out. I think he was.. crying.

I know I hurt him but still why won't he just listen. He yelled and fought and then ran.

Well I guess we're not gonna be friends again. I tried but I failed. I give up.

I'm done when Wren gets out in a couple days I can just be with him again we were without Atlas for a little while we can be without him again.

Yeah right I'm not giving up. Years of friendship are not being thrown down the drain whether Wren is here or not.

I'll talk to him in school tomorrow.

The next morning I walked into school.  Well I kinda ran into school. Which was not the best idea I couldn't sleep at all no matter how hard I tried.

I just needed to talk to Atlas about what happened. It was weird he got so mad talking about Wren I dont get why.

Whatever when I got to school he was at his locker. I feel like i need a pep talk.

'Cmon Z you got this you're a cool hot dude and Atlas was your best friend for a while you know he still loved you and he'll listen to what you have to say'

Yep that works okay cmon Zaire you got this.

"Hey Atlas can I talk to you?"

"I don't know can you." Hes so stupid, but cute I could hear him laughing at his own little joke.

"Yes I can now come on." I grabbed his arm pulling him away from his locker. Now I know its cliche but the only safe place to talk was the janitors closet so I took him in there.

"Wow the jainators closet what are we gonna do? Make out?" I know he was being sarcastic he always makes this face when he does. Not a gross face just this face it's so hard to describe. He always bites on his lip when he does it. Okay maybe it wasnt that hard to describe.

"Atlas just listen to me for a minute."

"Okay one minutes starting now." I saw him pull out his phone and start a timer for exactly one minute.

I sighed he take this shit so literally. "Okay well I just wanted to say I dont understand why you got so upset when I was talking about Wren I mean he was our friend and he just made a mistake but I like him he meant a lot to me he was my only friend for such a long time and then the three of us became friends and it was just perfect he was really going through something and he needed us and he thought that was the only way to get away from it and he didnt want to do it alone because he was scared-" He tried to interrupt me as his timer went off but I out my hand over his mouth. "You just need to see things from my point of view and for fucks sake Atlas think about him. He was so so scared and he first off didn't wanna do it alone and didn't want us to ever feel how he did. He thought he was doing what's best for us and just.. please Atlas.." We both stood there me trying to catch my breath I realized I wasnt breathing when a tear rolled down my cheek.

"I'm so sorry.." He should be. He didnt think about anyone other than himself. I turned around and left the closet wiping the tear from my face. Stupid feelings.

"Zaire wait!" I turned around and looked at him."Can we talk a little more.."

I smiled and we walked into some random empty classroom and just talked we never brought up Wren knowing it would start something I know his apology wasn't sincere he was just saying that cause I started crying.

We talked until a teacher came into the room and scolded us we gave eachother a small smile before splitting ways.

I went to my class and sat in the back with the kids on the football team. I was never friends with them but they were the closest thing I had to friends since Wren and Atlas.

They were talking about girls or some party and random stuff I didn't care about. All I could think about was Wren he was getting out soon and he would be going here. Atlas isn't going to react well at all.

Seeing how he reacted just bringing him up. Wrens mom and I have been talking and supposedly he's all better and been feeling really guilty about what he did.

Before I knew it class was over and I was back in the halls I walked to my locker cause i needed a book for my next class and Atlas was there.

"Do you know when he comes back?" I nodded. Honestly surprised he asked.

"Sooner than you'd think." I didn't have the guts to tell him the exact date he probabaly would be mad and I can't deal with that right now.

He had this look on his face. Like 'what does that mean'

I walked away leaving him confused and just let the rest of the day go not seeing or talking to him again.
