You Have My Heart, At Least For The Most Part

Zack's p.o.v

"Oh, it's him, isn't it?" I asked Alex. He looked at his phone, and then looked at me.

"I don't know..." He whispered. "I didn't add his number."

I sighed. "Just fucking answer."

"Zack, what's wrong with you?!"

"I just told you I like him!" I shouted. Alex looked scared. "You just answer him. I'm leaving. You just talk to him and have a happy ending. LIKE ALWAYS! LIKE ALWAYS I HAVE THE FUCKING BAD ENDING!" I exploted. What was wrong with me? I wasn't like this. But I was angry at Alex. Angry at him for liking the same person I liked. Angry at Mr. Barakat for being so perfect. Angry at the both of them for talking to each other. Angry at me for being angry. I hated this.

I looked at Alex. He was sitting on the floor, sobbing, no expression in his eyes. He was staring at the floor. I felt bad for him. This wasn't his fault. He realised his phone was still ringing, so he answered.

"A-Alex Gaskarth speaking..."

Pause.

His eyes lit up. It was him. "I hate you! Mr. Barakat and you! Both of you!" I shouted. I grabbed my bag and ran down the stairs. I pushed the door and rushed into the dark.

Suddenly, I stoped. What was I doing? Running away from my friend's house because he was talking to his crush? Who was my crush too, but... I sighed. This was the most stupid idea ever. Where was I going to stay now? What would happen when my parents called Alex and he would have to say "I don't know where Zack is, he run away. Funny story, uh?"

I tried to walk back, but I realised I didn't know where I was. Everything was dark, not a single light. I decided to keep on walking until I found a place with some light, and a very good person who would drive me to Alex's house. Then, I would apologise for being so stupid and everything would be fixed.

I found myself at a Pizza place. I decided to enter, ask for a pizza to share with Alex, and wait. I sat at a chair near the door, telling the waitress I wanted a pizza to take home.

"Merrick?" A voice asked from behind me. I turned around as my eyes opened widely. There he was. His tall, lanky body. His skunk hair, his fringe over his big eyebrows. His brown eyes were staring at me... he seemed.. relieved? "I can't believe I actually found you!"

"W-what?" I said, blushing. He walked to the table I was in, and looked at the other chair, asking me if it was okay if he sat down. I nodded, my eyes still on him.

"Your friend Alex called me. He was worried about you, he told me you ran away. I told him I was going to look for some pizza, so that, if I saw you, I would talk to you."

I was shocked, to say the least. My crush wanted to talk to me. And I would had to tell him that Alex and I fought... because of him? When he didn't even knew he was our crush?

"It's complicated. I'm more mad at myself than at Alex."

"Why did you left? Alex is worried."

"I know he is. I know! I-it's ju-ust that... I couldn't handle it anymore." I sighed. "You remember this girl, Lisa?" He nodded. "I like her, you know? She's just... perfect. But then there's this... this other person. I have a crush on this person since the first day I met with his eyes... and yesterday, I realised Alex had a crush on that person too. But his is bigger than mine, and I just... I think his crush may like him back. And not me."

"Why don't you just date Lisa? I can tell she likes you back. And maybe you should let Alex be happy with his crush?" He said. I looked at him. This dude didn't had any idea what he was talking about, right? Alex couldn't date his crush. It was ilegal.

"Alex can't date him. It's ilegal."

"Merrick, if you like this person, that doesn't mean it's-"

"No, no. I'm serious. It's really, really ilegal."

He frowned. "Is this person older than Alex?" I nodded. "From where do you both know him?"

I moved in my seat, a bit uncomfortable. How did I told him it was him without really telling him? "F-from sch-hool..." Great, Zack! You're brilliant!

"Is he a teacher?" I nodded in agreement. "That's complicated." I nodded again. "Do I know him? I mean... have you see me talking to him or something?"

I chuckled a little. "You see yourself everyday, Mr. Barakat."
