     hey!    Im currently re-writing the story if you would rather read that instead, (its the new chapters at the end of the book) This one is old and outdated and terribly written xD <3

                                                     -The Backstory-

  Zak was born in Chicago, IL. His family was not the richest to put it lightly, his father had a steady job while his mother was unemployed. Zak's house was a small 1000 square foot home with cracks in the walls and ceiling. It may be falling apart but they kept it clean, pictures hung from every wall. Most consisting of photos of his parents and relatives, but only a few photos of Zak when he was born because hes still pretty young, 1 to be exact. He didn't have his own room, although he was still sleeping in a crib so it didn't matter much.

  His dad recently got offered a higher position at his new job, but it would mean they would have to move to Florida. Zak's parents fought over it for about a week, the mother saying it was to early that Zak was to young. The father explaining that he would get paid more money and could live a better life so his son could grow up in a better home, "I don't like the idea of moving either! All of our family is here but I just want whats best for him!" After a week of arguing his mother finally agreed. 

  They packed up and moved to Florida, to a slightly nicer home that the company payed for. It was a 1500 square foot home with 2 bedrooms. One would be Zak's and the other for his parents. They set up the little ones room, putting the bed in the corner and hanging a few decorations on the wall.

  A few years has passed, Zak is now a goofy little 4 year old. He loves running around and playing pranks on people, although he was still pretty lonely. That all changed one day when his parents went to a get together with their friends.

                                                     ~Zak's POV~

  They walk into the home, the door being held open by an unfamiliar face, little Zak grasping at his mothers hand. He watches them talk to a few people but stays hidden behind his mothers leg still holding onto her tightly. His mother crouches down and says "Hey goof ball my friend has somebody shed like you to meet, would that be okay with you?" Zak just stares at his mother with a frightened look spread across his face. "Its gunna be alright buddy, i promise you will like him. C'mon let's go meet him!" She says while smiling. 

  Little Zak just lightly nods his head. His mother stands up and grabs her sons hand and guides him to the living room. "Alright now go say hi" He hesitates but eventually peeks his head around his mother. There he sees a young boy with dirty blonde hair and bright emerald green eyes playing with some toys on the floor. The young boy was taller than he was mumbling words he couldn't hear while playing with little cars. "Alright Zak I'm gunna go hang out with the other people here, are you going to be okay?" his mother says. He nods and watches as she walks away.

  Little Zak turns back to see the boy looking at him. "hi" the innocent boy says. Zak slowly walks over and says, "hi, I'm Zak." The other locks eyes with him, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips. "I'm Darryl, wanna play with me?" He nods and sits down next to the taller boy. This is only the beginning to a wonderful friendship that will soon blossom.

                                                       ~No POV~

  After that get together they have hung out almost every day. Within a month they become inseparable, the two went everywhere together. As years went on they grew closer and closer. Zak was a bit of a trouble maker, he didn't mean any harm but was a big prankster. Darryl on the other hand was very innocent and often stopped his best friend from doing things, hes the honest one.

  Its now middle school, a perfectly normal Friday. Zak's skipping down the hall humming a song, he was in a great mood. The raven haired boy slows down his pace and stops at a locker right next to Darryl. "Hey baldy" the shorter one says. "For the last time I'm not bald! Anyways ready for lunch?" Darryl says. "Yup, I'm super excited its pizza day!" he exclaims.

  The two besties stroll down the hall chatting about homework and what they were planning for the weekend. "Hey you should come over to my house tonight so we can play minecraft!" The raven haired boy said. "Definitely! I can't wait, I'll bring my laptop." The blonde exclaimed. The boys were big into gaming, mainly minecraft, they played with each other almost every night. 

  The two boys chatted at lunch while stuffing pizza into their mouths, occasionally busting a gut laughing at jokes. Its now 3pm, and the duo was anxiously waiting for the bell to ring. "3... 2... 1..." Zak mumbled, then the familiar ring echoed its way through the walls of the school. "Finally!" Darryl said while shoving his books into his backpack. They walk out of class together chatting up a storm. Soon the duo arrives in front of Zak's home. "Alright I'm gunna go home and get my laptop, I'll be back in about 30 min!" the taller boy says. "Mkay see you in a bit baldy." Zak turns on his heel and heads for the front door as the blonde walks away. Hes grinning from ear to ear excited about tonight, nothing could end the giddy mood he was in. Or so he thought, He could never be prepared for what hes about to see.

                                                     ~Zak's POV~

  The brown eyed boy puts his key into the door unlocking it. "Mom I'm home!" he shouts but gets no response. "Hm that's weird" Setting the heavy light blue backpack by the door he strolls into the kitchen. As he rounds the corner he stops in his tracks, freezing for a moment before yelling "MOM!!!"
