I'm starting to worry a little.

Zak hasn't come out of his room since I last wrote. My parents called to inform the school that the two of us will be staying here in Mount Prospect until this whole thing with his girlfriend (who is still missing) is sorted out. It shouldn't be more than another week or so, I think.

I hope not, anyways. My friend Evan called last night and invited me to lunch when I get back to school, which will be refreshing after everything that's been going on (meaning, absolutely nothing. It's so dull here).

Yesterday, I tried to talk some sense into Zak, but I'm not sure I get through to him.

I went into his room and sat by the window, like usual, but he just laid there on the bed, staring up at the ceiling. He looked like he was spacing out, and every once in a while he'd mumble something that I couldn't quite make out. I tried to get him to talk, but nothing worked.

I don't know what I'm supposed to do. Maybe mom or dad can get through to him.
