He heads to Melinda house and tells her she Hugs him and kisses him she tells him she proud of him.Zac starts his senior year off good him and Todd they start working at foot locker. One day Zac gets a call from Melinda crying and her dad screaming in the background Zac gets in the car and drives to Melinda house.

Zac: I know I'm trying to check on Melinda.
Auntie Martha: I know Zac but I work here.
Zac: I know that but that's the love of my life in there I'm not leaving her.
