After my brother returned, he brought someone with him. I recognized him, it was Zach. I looked at him shocked and confused, 'if both he and Jake were here...what had happened to Zach's father?' I wondered.
Zach approached me, "ah, Josh, it's been a while hasn't it? Mind if I speak to you alone? With out your friends." He asked me.
"Oh um sure" I said quietly, Casey stepped away, watching us carefully. I looked at Zach, "you've changed" I said simply.
"So have you," he replied, "I never took you as the leader type" he said simply.
"Yeah well, I never took you to be the criminal type, guess we were both wrong" I said crossing my arms.
"Owch, come on don't be like that, you missed me didn't you?" He said rather cocky.
"Oh wow you've gotten cocky over the years? You used to be so quiet and nice" I said shaking my head, "what happened to you two?" I asked.
"Oh, lots of things...the Boss killed dad and I didn't really have a choice" Zach mumbled.
"So there is a higher authority..." I said quietly. "Well, I see you and Jake still get along" I said.
"Yeah, if you hadn't noticed, he took a liking to your friend Drew," Zach said and then looked at Drew, a sad look on his face.
"What's with that face?" I asked.
"Oh, I was in your friends head, he is in a lot of pain, mentally and physically...it's kind of sad" he said quietly.
I glanced at Drew, "I...I try to help" I said quietly.
"Do you still stutter when your nervous?" Zach asked smirking, stepping closer to me.
"I-I don't know w-what you mean" I said taking a step back, causing me to bump into the wall.
"Do you still have feelings for me?" He asked, getting even closer, leaving barely any space between us.
"I h-have a b-boyfriend you know" I said frowning.
Then he kissed me, firmly. I was shocked but I couldn't stop myself from kissing him back, I did still like him, not that I would admit it of course.
He stepped away, a smirk upon his face, "so you do?" He said quietly before walking away.
Casey walked up to me, "I'm sorry" I said, looking at the ground.
"Look, I get it, he kissed you. But you didn't try and push him away, and you kissed him back" Casey said shaking his head before walking away, towards Jordan.
I looked at the ground, feeling like I was going to cry, I took a few deep breaths and then walked away, I went over to Major, who had been standing with Axel, making out, like nothing else was happening, I shook my head at this. "Major," I said simply.
I saw the aggravation as he turned his head towards me, "what?" He said rudely.
"One, how many times do I have to tell you to drop the attitude, two, we need to have a conversation...with everyone, after they leave" I said pointing at Zach and Jakob.
"Whatever, can I get back to what I was doing?" He said frowning.
"Ugh" I said and walked away shaking my head.
Then the door opened, a female, looking to be around Jakob's age walked in, and over to Jakob. I heard her speak, "come on, your m-Boss, wants to speak with you, and the other boy you always have behind you Zach or whatever" she said and left.
Jakob said goodbye to Drew, and kissed drew before leaving, dragging Zach behind him.
