Lily came over with a bag of presents in her hand as she walked inside the house. I glanced at the bag. Obviously one of the presents was from Hot Topic by the logo of the box. For sure, Lily bought me something All Time Low related, like I would wear something affiliated to someone who betrayed me. She placed the presents under the Christmas tree while I sat on the couch and watched. Lily looked back at me.

"I also bought presents for your parents, too," she mentioned as she sat down on the recliner across from me. "Hopefully they like it."

"Why did you deflate my tire?" I asked, changing the subject because I knew Lily was trying to avoid the conversation from going to the incident at the mall. If Lily knew me well, I knew her well, too. I guess we were meant to be best friends.

Lily stuffed her hands in her pocket, feeling uncomfortable on the subject we were on. "So…you wouldn't escape from us?" she answered with an inflection.

I gave her a puzzled look. "Who's 'us' in this matter?"

"Jack, Alex, Rian and Matt," she listed off the names. No mention of Zack since I saw him at Guitar Center, but he must have known I was at the mall. Maybe he was just waiting there until these guys kidnapped me or something so they could have me and Zack meet up. That plan failed obviously and Zack was probably upset. Maybe Zack really did care for me, but why the hell did he say those things about me? "Hold on, how did you change your tire so quickly?" Lily interrupted my thoughts. "Did you call triple A or something?"

I shook my head. "I changed the tire. That's probably the only thing you don't know about me."

Lily's eyes widened. "Oh shit! No wonder you were out of there so quickly!" she shook her head. "That's crazy man. That's crazy. You're possibly the only girl who knows how to do that," she paused and gazed at me. "Just to shift the focus from me to you, why didn't you talk to Zack when you were at Guitar Center?"

My head shot up at her. "How did you know I was there?" Holy crap, did they have cameras or something following me to know my every move? Creepy.

"The guys from This Providence saw you. You went to the bass section then all of a sudden barged out of there like you saw a ghost or something," Lily explained. She tilted her head. "Do you know the phone conversation he had with Alex that morning was not about you at all? It was someone else."

My heart stopped. "What?" I spat out.

"I'm not sure who it was, but it was definitely not about you. Alex and Zack told me. I know they wouldn't lie about this, especially how much Zack lo…likes you," she corrected herself. "He does care for you. He talks about you all the freaking time."

I frowned as I remembered everything I wrote in the note, saying that last night was a mistake and what he told me was drunken lies. My pride took the best of me and now, it felt like I have been stabbed in the back. So much pain erupted in me because I felt so bad for what I've done.

Lily smiled. "You really like Zack, huh?" Lily almost seemed like she was reading me like a book. I didn't really have a good poker face so it was obvious.

"I do. I really do like Zack," I lowered my head. "He's like my favorite candy bar." When I was sad, I tend to make odd comments about things. This was no different.

"Snickers?" Lily asked as she chuckled. "I know you like Snickers."

I smiled. "Sure, he's my Snickers," I paused. "Wow. That sounded weird."

She laughed. "Well, I think it's cute," I looked up at her as she took something out of her pocket. It was a silver voice recorder. "And I think Zack will like to hear that."

My eyes widened. "Wait, you recorded the whole conversation we just had?" I was baffled. "Even the Snickers part?"

Lily grinned. "Yup, even the Snickers part." She was one sneaky little bastard.

I shot a look at Lily and at the tape recorder and at Lily again. "Please don't," I stood up and sprinted towards Lily. Lily, with her athletic abilities and coordination, managed to jump off the recliner and run to the front door. I chased her as she ran down the steps and head to…All Time Low's van? Blood drained out of me as I saw Lily running to the van with Jack waiting by the door. Jack gave me one of those "Gotcha" smirks and drove off, leaving me standing there. In a matter of minutes, Zack was going to her me say he was "my Snickers." I wasn't sure what to do now. That was probably the weirdest things I could say to a guy I like.

I walked back in my house in defeat. I went up to my room and buried myself in my bed sheets. My phone started vibrating beneath my pillows. I grabbed it and saw it was a text message…from Zack. Great, he probably thought I was a dork by saying that whole Snickers thing. I opened the message.

I knew you love me! You can't resist my sugary sweetness of my body! Haha…

Wow…

In the words of Paramore, "things are looking up, oh finally!" Yeah, yeah...I'm guessing you guys are happy that Jenny and Zack finally made up, but who was the person Zack and Alex were talking about during their phone conversation? Hmm...you'll soon find out. Stay tuned!
