Zak POV
This was a mistake. I never should've came here. Now whenever Darryl looked at me, he looked at me with sympathy. He pitted me, that is the only reason why he's letting me stay.

Sometimes I like to pretend that he actually wants me to be here. It's a nice idea, but I know it will never happen, I'm unwanted everywhere.

To escape my thoughts I listen to music. Sometimes I could play it and listen for hours without realizing it. So it was one of those times again where I was staring at the wall while music played in my ears.

I heard the faint sound of my door opening and rolled over to face the door. I took out my earbuds and looked at Darryl expectantly.

"How've you been?" He asked me.

"Fine." I replied.

"Have you been eating well?" He asked.

"Yes."

"Have you been sleeping well?"

"Yes."

This went on for a while him asking me questions, then me just saying yes in reply. Finally he sighed and gave me that look. That look of sympathy that I despised.

Finally I snapped, "Can you stop doing that!"

He looked surprised by my outburst but I didn't care. "Stop doing what?" He asked.

"Stop looking at me like that! You look at me like at any second I'm gonna break. Like I can't handle anything on my own!" I yelled.

He looked shocked, I noticed tears building up in his eyes. I immediately regretted what I said.

"I'm sorry," I started, "I just need some time alone, okay?"

"Okay." He said, he gave me a weak smile before walking out.
