#zach04

it’d been longer than a week since he’d last seen the boy. him and jeremy carried on, living their lives as they did. things were tense, that hellish morning was hardly the subject of any conversation they did have. but the hellish morning was the same that eli doesn’t stop thinking about. he’d played it over and over in his head, how he had everything that morning and managed to lose it all. his life, his mother... everything in between. his father, zach, and zach, and zach. the stupid vampire boy that plagued his memories and was solely the most important person in his life, even if eli didn’t consider him to be. 

eli was careful about where he went now, he was careful to never be in vampire territory; to steer clear of the woods and run at the sight of blood. he was careful about having no accidental run ins with the man who murdered his best friend’s parents. eli hadn’t known them, but if remy loved them, eli would too. he probably wouldn’t have known remy had they still been alive, but that was a selfish thought. eli couldn’t think selfish thoughts. but he was, in fact he was being really selfish but throwing everything aside and going into the woods for the first time in a while.
