Chapter 6
Professor Armstrong looks at Zak,"Do you feel better yet?" Zak nods," a little. But December is still going to be hard to handle." "Hey bud, you have an amazing step dad who cares deeply for you. If you ever need to talk just ask him. We have spent hours talking about you. Mike truly worries about you" Professor Armstrong says, smiling at Zak. "As do I" Britney says, walking over and wrapping Zak in a hug. Zak is too stunned to speak. Nico looks over at Zak and says sarcastically, "well he's broken now. Thanks for breaking my best friend!" "Uhhhh Zak?" Mike says, walking over to Zak and sitting on the floor in front of him. "I don't feel right?" Zak says, looking around for Mikey. "Z? What do you mean?" Nico says, gesturing for Britney to let go. "I don't know. But Zak's not here now. I can't find him.Are you Nico?" MK says, looking scared. "What do you mean you can't find Zak? Is he gone from your inner world? Who is fronting? Yes, I'm Nico" Nico says. "I- I'm MK. The trauma holder. Yes, Zak isn't anywhere in our inner world. I don't think I'm supposed to be fronting" MK responds. Nico looks at Sirius, "where's Mikey? Can you call him? This is bad. Very bad." "Mikey?" Sirius says, looking panicked. After Mikey fails to appear, Sirius looks at Nico and frowns. " MK, do you remember the last time you saw Mikey?" Nico asks, speaking softly so he doesn't startle MK. "MK? Where's Zak? Why are you fronting?" Mike says, looking confused. "I don't know anything. I was in my room one second, the next thing I know I'm fronting and Zak's gone" MK says, looking just as confused. Mike switches in to front, "we don't know where Zak is. We saw Mikey last night, we think? We can't remember. It's real blurry." "Mik?" Nico asks. Mike nods, looking like he's gonna cry. "Mik?" Sirius says. "I want Mikey" Mik says. "Hey, we're gonna find him. I promise" Mike says, pulling Mik into a hug. Mik blinks back a few tears. Mike rubs Mik's back in a calming manner. "HJ?!" Sirius says. With a loud pop HJ appears in front of Sirius. "Can you find Mikey? He's not responding. Please hurry" Sirius says, looking over at Mik.
