Acceptance

Zayne isn't at school the next day, he technically isn't suspended because the school is afraid of a lawsuit, but the principal and his parents agreed he needs a few days away from the people at schoolI walk into Physics and am shocked to see Conrad and his bandaged nose sitting in his seat."What are you doing here?" I ask fighting the urge to hit him.

The Last Straw

I didn't hear from Zayne until late Sunday. He said that talking about everything made it all seem real and that finally acknowledging the pain out loud took some of it away. That night he had talked to his mom and dad, clearing the air. I was invited over Sunday night and came in to see and his dad at the table, eating together, laughing over something on TV.After he and his dad finished, Zayne pulled me into his room with a big grin. He still hurt and still was struggling, but slowly he was able to put some of the pieces back together.

Dark Thoughts and Dim Lights

I run to the park, hoping he's there since his parents said he wasn't home, but it's full of kids. I run to his apartment complex and search the parking area, the pool, nothing. I run up the stairs to his apartment and start banging on the door."Zayne! Zayne are you in there?" No answer, "Zayne come on. Your parents are worried about you, I'm worried about you, Arriana is worried about you. Arriana knew I wasn't going to hide anymore, she doesn't care what people say, she cares about me. She cares about you, about us."

Welcomed Healing

I've stopped sneaking out at night and hiding my texts. All week, everyday after school I go over to Zayne's house to bring him homework and notes. I end up staying for an hour or two helping him figure everything out before I go home.Arriana and I have had it a little rough this week, we definitely get dirty looks now that I'm out of the closet, but with Conrad gone, no one says anything.Caira hasn't spoken to Arriana all week, but Tempe couldn't really care less ab

Waves of Change

Come Monday morning I spend an extra thirty minutes on the phone with Zayne talking him down from an anxiety attack. Even with Conrad gone, he's scared to go to school after everything that's happened. He came over on Sunday to watch a movie with me and catch up on school work he didn't understand, he looked so stressed out. He woke me up an hour before my alarm when he called me."I promise it'll be ok, the whole week you were gone and no one said anything to me or Arri," I rub my eyes, "The most you'll see is some dirty looks."

Halloween

Walking into school and seeing all the costumes, I feel like a kid, except for all the girls in skimpy clothes. Tempe for once doesn't stand out compared to the other costumes, even though her tight, little crayon dress does show off.Arriana looks fabulous in her soft, flowing goddess dress and sparkling makeup. It takes a lot of me to not cover her with a jacket every time a guy looks at her. She looks great and is really happy, she has her hair curled perfectly and put on a body spray that makes her skin shimmer. She put a lot into this and it really paid off.

Let Go

I woke up Friday morning in bed and with Zayne gone. Our parents had come home and put us to bed while Zayne's family had gotten him home to do the same. We all spent Friday as slugs, Caira and Tempe even fell asleep in class at one point because they were too freaked out to sleep when they got home.Normally after school I would have hung out with Arriana or Zayne, but we all kind of had the same idea and ended up going to bed when we got home. None of us did anything until Saturday and even then only Zayne and I went out to do anything.

Retribution

My dad took mom and Arriana home so they could rest and get changed. He brings me fresh clothes while I stay with Zayne's parents to be here when he wakes up. It's almost three in the morning when he starts stirring.The three of us jump up as his eyes flutter open, his mom races to his side, "Momma?" his voice is raspy and dry."Oh my baby," she starts crying as she runs her hand over his head, "I thought I lost you."

"I can't find it!" Zayne's voice rings down the hall."I told you, you left it on the nightstand," I holler back at him as I adjust my tie, "We're going to be late."He runs down the hall to meet me in front of the mirror, "I'm coming. Stop fussing, your tie looks fine."I look over at the wall
