I wanted to kiss her.

Imagine how I felt when her beautiful eyes stared up to mine as I spoke. But I couldn't kiss her. I had to stop myself from ruining my plans.

The plans that will fix my whole life.

Now what should I do? I need something that will make her believe me, leaving her without a doubt.

I need to call Zach. That's it.

I enter the guest room and walk to the nightstand where my phone was sitting at, charging.

Immediately, I dial Zach's phone number. Let's give my old friend a call.

"Hello?" He answered.

"Zach"

The line went quiet for a good minute. He recognized my voice.

I didn't know what to do so I hanged up. And at that moment, I got an idea.

I stood up and walked towards Ben's bedroom which down the hallway towards the right.

ZACH

Ring Ring

The noise of my ringtone going off awoke me from my sleep.

I sat up in my bed and rubbed my eyes, checking the time on my clock above the night stand; 2;26am.

Who could be calling at this time?

I reached to my left and turned on the lamp, then reached for my phone.

Without seeing who it was I swipe to the right and answered.

"Hello?" I answered.

"Zach" I recognized that voice. Luke.

I remained quiet, not knowing what bullshit he was going to say this time.

"W–" I was going to ask him but he had hanged up.

I furrowed my eyebrows wondering why in the world would Luke be calling me at this time and that's when I remebered–

Bella.

He was staying at her house. What if he did something to her, just the way he did with Reece–

My own thoughts got cut off when my phone went off again. This time I checked the caller name before answering.

Ben? Why would Ben be calling also? What if Bella was hurt?

Without thinking about it twice, I swipe to the right and answered.

"Ben?" I answered.

"Zach"

"Why are you calling at almost 3am? Is everything okay? Is Bella okay–" he cut me off.

Bella. My heart began beating double its pace.

"Calm down bud. Everything's fine. Well a little fine because Luke came in my room saying Bella–" he began saying but this time, I cut him off.
