Zach felt like he had all week - shit. He'd kept to himself at work, which had been made easier by all of Melinda's explosions. She wasn't in a good mood either, but honestly, Zach didn't give a shit what kind of mood she was in. It was hard to care about most things. And it was getting to feel more and more like a sane option to just go get his brains fucked out of him. That was a normal loss of brain function, not any of...whatever.
He was a horrible person, an ass. T didn't care, which was nice. And Ven liked him anyway. And Theo loved him of course. He'd known all of them for a long time, Theo forever it felt like. So it...felt right to him that they liked him anyway...or because of it as T had said. Whatever. But Colin was different. He was dating Colin, and he was a horrible boyfriend, but Zach was far too selfish to be able to dump him, even though that was probably the best thing he could do for him. Or something. Zach didn't like all the thinking this had made him do. He wasn't good at thinking things through.
But Lavender was coming over, despite his horrible company. The doorbell rang, and Zach went to it, looking out for once before opening. If it were someone else, he'd...he didn't know if he even had the energy to pull up a fake mask. But whatever. Zach opened the door. "Hullo, Ven," he greeted her.
