day 31
zach woke up and saw the messages from jack. his dad wasn't home so he could have his phone.
he read them and realized what had happened. jack has friends, he doesn't just have zach he has more people.
but zach only has jack.
he used to have other friends before he "lost" his phone but they didn't really matter. it was only some he met on social media that didn't even care.
zach

zach started to cry and put his phone in its hiding spot.
he fell asleep.
the next morning he was woken up by a smack to the face and a door being shut.
he raised up and touched his hand to his face and felt the hotness rush to it. he cried and stood up and walked down stairs to make breakfast for him and his dad.
he hated life.
he hated it more than ever.
he hated himself for pushing jack away when he knew he needed him
