Zaks pov:

Even tho it was midnight I dident care.
I knocked at darryl's bedroom window.
Daryl opens the window
"Zak!? What are you doing here" he whispered.
"Wanne hang out" I asked him.
He looked confused but agreed .
We played minecraft .

Until I realized something.
"Is that one of your little brothers fake guns?"
I said while pointing at a gun laying on the ground.
Darryl looked down.
"n,no.."
He started crying .
I quickly gave him a hug.
"What's wrong please tell me"
After a long time I let go of the hug and looked him the eyes "please..tel me what's wrong"

"M-my family...."
"T-they are..."
"They schoot..a-and stab people.."
Darryl started to explain how his family were criminals and had killed people.
It got silent for a while.

"I k-know you probably h-hate m-me now" he said crying.
"Ofcores not, you're not them " I said and hugged him again.
It hurted to see my crush,my best friend, the person I cared the most about so sad.
"Can I please stay here I hate to see you so sad"
I asked him
darryl nodded.

It was very late so we decided to sleep.
I slept on a mattress next to his bed .
After an hour darryl had fallen asleep.
Because he turned alot in his sleep his arm has dangling of the bed so I hold his hand.

In the morning I woke up to some heavy foot steps.
What if it was darryl's father .
He woud flip if he saw me here I quickly hide in a closet and waited .
After a few seconds I heard the door open
"Darryl wake up, and why is this mattress here?"
Darryl woke up.
"Sorry father I had a bad night and rolled of my bed the hole time ao i put a mattress down" he lied.
"Okay, wel mother and I are gone for the day, babysit you're little brother"
Darryl's father said as he left the room.
Then I heard darryl father leave the house.
"Zak are you okay?" Darryl asked worried

I came out of the closet
(😏😏😏)

"Yea I am okay"
"Wel now my father is gone wanne do something?"
"Hmm sure, what abouth shooting"
"But that takes alot of practice are you sure?"
"Yep"
"Okay then"
I followed darryl to his basement there were tick walls whit soundproof material, there was a doll whit a red circle on the place of his hart.
"Here,take this"
Darryl gave me gun whit 6 bullets in it.
"How do I schoot?"
"Dont you even know how a trigger works?"
"n-no" I said awkward

Darryl took my hand and placed it on the gun.
"Now ain't for the circle"
It was just like when we trew knifes.
I holded the gun and he hold my hand and helped me.

Bang

The bullet hit the wal but was not far of the doll.
"Wow that's good you were realy close" darryl said to me. I just giggled.
We tried again
And again
And again
And then I hit the circle.

"You did it" darryl said happily
"Yeay" I said while hugging darryl.
I looked at him he was red as an tomato.

Why did he turn red?

Maybe my mother was right.....








Maybe he did like me.
