. 8 - Rain.

- Zak's POV -

I'll probably not be able to make it to my house in this rain.  I find a suitable tree and climb onto a branch.  I put my knees up to my chest as I feel I start to sob.

My wrong choice of words got our friendship ruined. 

How could I be so stupid? 

Maybe I deserved this,  honestly I didn't know anymore.

I waited out the storm,  my hair was dripping wet,  I tried to brush it with my fingers.  I picked up my backpack and rummaged through it for my phone,  I found it quickly as I opened it and turned straight to Darryl's contact.

I watched as my fingers typed a quick response,  before pressing enter I shook my head,  if I was going to apologize for what I've said, I at least needed to spell check myself. 

Darryl,  I'm so sorry for what I said.  I didn't mean to say it. <Me

I tapped my screen impatiently as I waited for a response.

Nothing.  He had left me on read, what happened to make him so mad?  I sighed as I feel tears running down my cheeks.  The rain has stopped,  so i put my phone back into my backpack.

I shove my backpack over my shoulder as I climb back from the tree,  I feel my leg slip as I miss a branch.

I tumble down,  getting hit by branches along the way.

I blinked a few times,  i heard a familiar ringing in my ears.  I haul myself up into a sitting position,  dusting a few branches and leaves away.  I look around for a few moments before I groan.

A headache begins to form,  I clutch my head as I use the tree as support to haul myself to my feet.  I feel leaves crunch beneath me as I pick up my backpack from the ground,  dusting off the dirt. 

I feel my eyes are puffy from sobbing up on a tree.  Sounds funny.  I begin to chuckle at my pityful self.  Crying up on a tree?  Well,  I better head home.

I walk down the sidewalk,  the road is more visible.  I see that I'm at the intersection where Darryl's road to his home,  and mine meet.  I walk down the road that leads to my home. 

I am met with the door of my house.  I reach for the handle and hesitate, was it worth to go in after everything that's happened?  Am I really worthy of having an apartment after everything I've done?

I clench my hand into a fist,  sudden anger burning through me as I kick the door open.

It wasn't fair!  After just a simple word?  He got this mad over a damn word? 

I shouldn't let my anger get the best of me like this. Being angry can make me irrational,  which I don't need anymore.  I've had enough of being irrational and ruining relationships with people.

Its stupid, I'M stupid. 

Why am i thinking like this? I close the door behind me,  sighing as I walk deeper into my cold home. 

I dropped my wet bag onto the floor,  it thudded onto the ground. 

I'm being selfish.  Right?

- Darryl's POV -

Why. 

Am I pathetic?  He's right. I am.
I want to,  so badly to just come back to my old ways.  But a part of me still believes he didn't mean it. 

Stupid hope.

What's the point of having it?

I bring my hand to my face as I feel tears
falling down my cheeks,  I wipe them away with my fingers. 

Buzz!

I jump,  my phone vibrated.  It was unexpected.  I opened my phone and realized it was a text from Zak.

I take a moment as I stare at my phone screen.  I feel anger build up inside of me.  I want to throw my phone so far away.

I sigh,  releasing my phone and putting it on my table.  I don't want to see or read anything that involves Zak. 

Oh my goodness,  am I bring foolish to push him away like this?  I have so many questions and not enough answers.

Think,  think!  Right.

Vincent must have answers.

-??????? POV -

I walked down the hall and pushed the school doors open,  walking down I sit on a bench to collect my thoughts. 

Who should I turn to anymore?  I sigh as I pick up my backpack,  and walk down the side walk.

Zak, why?

This is all so weird.  Should I be worried though.  Maybe just let it slide.  I'll meet him at the party tomorrow.

I look around,  I didn't find him at the school.  So he's not here. There's nowhere else he could have went. 

I kick some pebbles off the sidewalk with my black sneakers.  The trees are beautiful today.  The sun was setting,  very beautiful if you ask me. 

Suddenly I feel something harsh hit my back,  before I can respond,  I'm knocked out cold. 

So this is how it feels to be unconscious.
