I looked between Zac and Austin for a good minute. I shook my head. "I.......I-I can't deal with this right now." I turn to go upstairs. Zac reaches out and grabs my hand. I shake my head again. "Zac...please-just-just go find Salvotor. Murder him. Thanks. Bye." I twist out of his grip and run up to my room. Call me coward. This was one problem I couldn't solve by facing it head-on. 

I avoid everyone for a week. I stay in my room. I only go out to get food. Even then, I leave when no one but me is in the house. After a week I decide I can't stand it anymore. I'm going crazy. I text Zac. Hey. Can u come over? im going crazy.  im not going to say pls. get ur ass over here. 

Well. I guess I should have looked at the name on my phone before I sent that. In case you're wondering, Zac decided to add my number to his phone. Well great. Now I had Tom, not shutting up, wondering why I wanted him over NOW.

What? im coming over. dont worry. but why are u going crazy? Ohhh shit. I quickly text back.

Nvrm. u dont need to. its ok. that was meant for someone else. Okay, maybe I shouldn't have added that last part. 

Sry. im still coming.  Ughhhh. I called Zac.

"Hi."

"Hey Zen. What's up?" 

"Come get me. Now." I pause then add, "Please." 

"I'm coming." I can hear the engine of a car being turned on. "Are you at your house? Can i ask you something?" 

"Yeah. And you just did."

"How are you so calm? How are you not freaking out right now?" I think for a good minute.

"You'll find out pretty soon. My amazing self control can't last forever."

" Can I ask why you want me to come over right now?" 

"Yes you can." I pause. "I'm crazy."

"Well I'm pretty sure I figured that out already." 

"Are you almost here? I don't want to wait much longer." I mutter. 

"Impatient aren't we." Zac says,  but I can tell he's pleased. 

"Not we. Just me. Oh! Is that you?"

"You're adorable when you're excited."

"Excuse me?"

"Don't worry about it. No I'm turning onto your street now."

"Dammit. Tom." I mumble.

"What?"

"I accidentally texted Tom telling him to come over." Well I actually to him to get his ass over to my house to pick me up. Meh. Same thing.

"You. Did.  What?"

"You've completed Grade 5 right?"

"...yeah?"

"Then you should know what I mean when I say 'I texted him by accident." 

"Right. Sorry love."

"What did you just call me?"

"I'm at your house now." Zac hangs up. I open my door.  Unfortunately I can hear Tom calling my name downstairs. I can also hear the door opening. I am downstairs in a flash. Tom is standing in the front hallway looking confused. 

"Hey." I say, before things escalate. They both look at me. 

"What are you doing here?" They asked each other at the same time.
