HIATUS It's been three months since Darryl has been in contact with his former best friend and roommate, Zak. After disappearing without a trace, the entire world believed that the beloved YouTuber was dead, especially after a body that closely resembled his was found. But in Darryl's mind, he knows that Zak isn't dead. His best friend is still out there- he has to be- and Darryl is determined to uncover the truth, even if he doesn't like what he finds.

in zak's imagination, anything was possible. even without a huge load of money standing beside his name, he found his own way of buying to happiness. zak's mindset was simple. he would live the way he wanted, act the way he wanted, and love whoever he wanted. he simply lived his own life the way he wanted to. it was a smooth rhythm and the chain had never been interrupted. that was until a converse wearing brunette boy from across the street thought - even with a charming smile and a terribly faked personality - that zak wasn't who he tried to be. 🏆 - #1 skephalo; january 12th 2020
