Zack went inside the inn to check on Matthew. The curly haired boy sat on the bed and looked out the window..

  "We're going to get it back...." Zack reassured. Matthew shook his head.

  "Forget about it....maybe it's not THAT important." His friend mumbled.

  "No, don't say that. It was your mother's!" He comforted, but Matthew ignored him.

  "What's the point?"

  Zack sighed sadly. How could all of this have gone so wrong. He remembered what Max said to him minutes ago...

  WOULD he have kept his word if Zack just went by himself?

  Was he being truthful?

  Zack sat in the bed next to Matthew and leaned on his elbows on his knees.

  "This is my fault..." Zack admitted. Matthew turned to him like he was batshit crazy. The blond continued. "I should've just went to the party by myself."

  Matthew shook his head. "Nah, it's not your fault. It's Max's for being a dipshit!"

  But Zack pondered on what would've been. He thought of the drunken boy, and sighed heavily to himself about the situation. Then he made up his mind.

  "I'm going to get Max...."

  Matthew threw his arms out. "WHAT'S THE POINT? He's too full of himself to listen!"

  Zack wished he could say something, but couldn't find words. He got up and walked back outside of the inn, and noticed Max sitting on a stool, draining his booze. Then he looked at the ocean.

  Zack folded his arms as he looked down at this drunken shell of a man. He sighed.

  "Get up Max......we're going to get it back."

  Max scoffed. "GOING WHERE? IT'S OVER! FINISHED!"

  Zack suddenly found himself pushing Max off his stool. The drunken boy shot up furiously. "WHAT THE FUCK!"

  Zack then snarled. "You told us that you would help!" Max wheezed.

  "That's what you think."

  Zack clenched his fists. "Thats what you told us!"

  "No, I said I was going to come with you, I didn't SAY that I was going to help!"

  Zack growled. "BULLSHIT!" He then scoffed. "Why would I even care....you're a difficult piece of shit."
