you're still the one; zack

[selena marie stone]

Selena woke up in an extremely good mood for some reason. This never usually happened to her. Normally, she would wake up tired and grouchy as hell until at lease her second cup of coffee. But not today. Today she was refreshed. "Good morning" she chirped happily to her half awake fiancé. He stared at her like she was crazy. He wasn't expecting her to be in a good mood either. She just smiled and kissed him lightly before hopping out of bed to go take a shower and get ready for the day. After showering she decided to cook the two of them breakfast. They needed to shop so there wasn't much but at least they had eggs and stuff. She hummed happily while she cooked.

She didn't have any classes today so there was really nothing for her to do. She could lounge around her fiancé's apartment all day if she felt like it. Of course with her new found energy today she didn't feel like doing nothing. She felt like going somewhere. Finally after thinking about it for awhile she decided to go out and get some ice cream it was her favorite food after all. After telling her fiancé where she was going she headed out.

The line was long and it felt like she had been waiting for forever before it was finally her turn. She ordered the strawberry cheesecake flavored ice cream. When she turned to leave she caught a glimpse of the person in line behind her and nearly dropped her ice cream all over him. Her good mood instantly vanishing She couldn't believe it. It couldn't be. "Z-zack?" She whispered. She didn't want to believe it but there she was staring directly at him. It was crazy. He hadn't changed a bit since they were 16 and that was nearly three years ago.

[atrb=border,0,true] As Zackary’s alarm went off he mentally cursed himself for thinking morning classes were a good idea. He groaned and stayed in his spot while the alarm continued to get louder and louder, making sure to wake him up. Could it not see that he wanted to just skip class and sleep the hell in? Apparently not. He finally opened his eyes and looked at the time and groaned, seeing how early it was. “Ugh just five more minutes.” he told the alarm and then hit the snooze button. And with that he rolled over onto his side and closed his eyes. What was five minutes right? And hey, if he was five minutes late to class oh well, he would obviously live. It was just some stupid economic class anyways and it was not even for his major. So he would obviously live and life would be grand. And with that he felt himself falling back asleep and he was finally happy with the world. When five minutes went off he groaned once more but got up this time. Seriously those five minutes felt like five hours but he was still tired. It was probably because he went to bed kind of late while working on an essay for his forensics class. Why he needed to write an essay in that class was beyond him but hey who was he to bitch and moan? So he stood up and threw on a black shirt and a pair of light jeans and then shrugging on his sweater. It was not really freezing outside but it was cold enough to need something to cover him up. Then he ran a hand through his hair and brushed his teeth and with that he was ready for class. He could not wait until it was over. Once his class was over he needed a little pick me up. But he did not have any weed so he sighed and decided to just settle on ice cream since it sounded good. When he got in line he noticed a pretty girl in front of him and he wanted to say hi to her. Zackary had a weakness for pretty girls and this one was gorgeous he could tell. Although while he was contemplating on what to say to her she turned around and nearly toppled over him and when he finally got a glimpse of her face he gasped and almost fell to the floor. How was it possible that Selena was here? What the fuck? “Selena? What the fuck are you doing here? I must be seeing a ghost.” he tried to reason with himself as he rubbed his eyes. There was no way this could be here. She was dead, right? TAGGED selena ( amanda ) NOTES so excited for them omfg

Selena's good mood instantly vanished. She just stood there staring at him in shock for several minutes. Zack was the last person that she thought shed run into ever. All of the good old days started playing through her head. All the crazy shit they did together. All the times he made her laugh when she didn't even feel like smiling. And for a seconed she was happy to see him she had missed him after all. But then she thought about all the letters that she never got a response to and all the times she tried to get a hold of him and couldn't. How he had seemingly abandoned her when she needed him the most. And her shock and happiness quickly changed to hurt and anger. She was more angry than anything because if she wasn't angry then she would be crushed by the pain of it all.

She narrowed her eyes at him when he muttered something about a ghost. "What are you even talking about? Are you high? You know what? never mind I don't even care really" She should just leave now. Honestly she didn't know why she was still standing there. She was pissed as hell and wanted to get away from him but there was still a tiny part of her that had some hope that there was some kind of mistake and that he had missed her as much as she'd missed him. Even though she knew it couldn't be true and she was only setting herself up for more pain. She just couldn't seem to make herself walk away from him even if he had walked away first. She missed her best friend and, if she were being honest with herself (which she was trying very hard not to be) the guy she was in love with.

[atrb=border,0,true] Zackary could not believe his eyes. He did not want to even believe it. Why today of all days was he seeing the ghost of his best friend? She was dead. She had to be. That was what her parents had told him and you just don’t make shit like that up right? Maybe he was wrong. Maybe they had lied. Why would they do that? The last time he had even seen her she was telling him that she had cancer and they would have to move to get the best treatment possible. And then her parents had sent him a letter saying that she had died and there was nothing that they could have done. His head started to swim with confusion and anger and he just needed to sit down before he passed out or something. This was not going to well for him today. When she snapped at him he ran a hand through his short hair and then decided that he should word his words carefully. Clearly she had no idea what the hell was going on. He thought that maybe she did not want to talk to him at first, which was why she had her parents send that letter, and it broke his heart into a thousand pieces. He had been in love with her and as much as he tried to convince himself that he wasn’t, he still was. He had no idea how to react so maybe what he said was not a good thing but whatever, he was not sure how to even process this all. It was too much for him and his stoned mind, although right now he was about as sober as they come so maybe this was it. Maybe he was just too sober for the morning. “No I’m not high.” he told her, wishing that he was though. Maybe if he was he would have processed this a little better because he could tell that she was getting kind of pissed off at him, not that he blamed her. “You’re not supposed to be alive. I was told you were dead.” he said before poking her shoulder to make sure that she was real. And she was. So what the hell was going on then? Confusion started to take over his entire body and he just wanted answers but to be honest, he was not sure if he even wanted to know them at the same time. This whole thing was a giant head fuck and it was wearing him out already. TAGGED selena ( amanda ) NOTES so excited for them omfg

Selena knew that she should probably walk away now. He had already broken her heart once she shouldn't be standing there giving him the chance to do it again. But she stood there anyways giving him a chance to explain. But of course he had to lie to her face. you know you don't have to lie to me. why the hell would someone tell you I was dead? That doesn't even make sense she glared at him. She was getting pissed now. If he didn't want to talk to her he should of just said so. Not make up some crazy excuse. that shit only happened in the movies right? Surely no one she knew would do that to her. The only people who even knew she had cancer were Zack and her parents. She knew her parents they would never do that to her. Just the thought of it was crazy. i sent you letters though. What did you think you we're getting letters from a dead chick? she laughed humorlessly. This really sucked. if you don't want to talk to me quit making up insane excuses and tell me. I can leave she said turning to do just that. She wanted to scream and cry and hit him. So she was impressed that she managed to remain mostly calm. She wiped her eyes hoping he didn't notice her crying. She didn't want to leave but he was making it painfully obvious that he wanted her to. So she would be the one to walk away this time. And this time she wouldn't look back this time she wouldn't cry over him. He didn't deserve it. It was just way easier said than done and it was to late, she was already crying damn it.

[atrb=border,0,true] Zack was so confused right now. He honestly had no idea what he should believe in now or what was going on. It was obvious that Selena, the only girl he had truly loved, was still alive and kicking. In fact, she looked better than ever. She was still so damn beautiful that it nearly took his breath away. He was not sure what he wanted to do right now but something was telling him to run. Run as far away as he could right now since this was way too much for his brain to handle. And the words that he wanted to form just were not doing that and it was driving him crazy. And who said that she was going to believe him? What if she told him that he was crazy because when he finished saying what he had said he knew he did. This whole situation was just completely fucked up. He then blinked in surprise when she called him a liar. Why would he lie to her? What would be the purpose of lying to his once best friend? He did not understand so he furrowed his eyebrows together at her and then gave her a weird look. “Lying? Why would I lie to you?” he asked her, wondering if she had also turned bipolar since their last encounter. He doubted it since that was usually something that people had since they were born but maybe this whole thing had caused her to turn into a bipolar crazy person. Anything was capable right? He figured that was such. “I’m not lying, I was really told you were dead.” he told her, wishing that she would believe him, just this once. He would never lie to her, ever. That would be unthinkable and he wouldn’t want to hurt her, even if she had hurt him by telling everyone to tell him that she was dead. Then Zack blinked at her once more. “Letters? I never got letters. Not a single one. Once I was told you were dead that was it.” he explained, wondering what the hell was going on now. He was just so confused and he had no idea what to believe anymore. Then he shook his head at her next statement, wondering why she would even think such a thing. “I’m not lying. I was told you were dead and when nothing happened after that I just assumed the worst.” and that was the god honest truth. He had no idea what was going on but he wanted answers and he wanted them now. TAGGED selena ( amanda ) NOTES dun dun dun >D

[selena marie stone]

This whole situation just made no sense at all. Who the hell would tell Zack that she was dead? Her parents? No, she didn't want to believe that. Why the hell would they do something so cruel. She knew that her parents didn't exactly like Zack but surely they wouldn't stoop that low. After all she and her mom were close and she had confided in her when she first realized that she might like Zack as more than just friends. I don't understand she said quietly. She was starting to get a headache from this shit.

If he wasn't lying then this situation was even more fucked up than she originally thought. She didn't believe it though. but Zack had never led to her before so why would he start now? He wouldn't. She really had no choice but to believe him. She wanted to believe him. It would mean that maybe she could have her friend back again. i want to believe you. I do. But this makes no sense. The only people that even knew about the cancer were you and my parents. And they wouldn't do something so cruel they knew I was in love with you" shitshitshit she hadn't actually meant to say that out loud. She looked away not able to look him in the eye now. forget I just said that. In fact just forget I said anything at all she muttered. Her and her big mouth. Now she had ruined everything. Now even if he was telling the truth and they could be friends again everything would be awkward as hell. There was no chance that he felt the same so now it was all ruined. fuck she swore. And selena didn't usually swear. She was just saying all sorts of crazy shit lately it seemed.

[atrb=border,0,true] Zack was really confused right now. And he figured that Selena was just as confused as him. And the words that left her mouth had confirmed his suspicion. This whole thing was just plain confusing. He had really thought that his best friend was dead and it figured that now he was finally get over her, she would just waltz back in his life. This was unfair. Why would god just shove her right back in? He really hated this. And then he started to think differently. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise? Maybe they would go back to the way things were and god he hoped that they would. Of course this was probably wishful thinking. In fact, he knew this was wishful thinking. She was probably thinking that he was a big fat liar and he wasn't. It was the truth, what he told her. He had to make sure she knew that. And there she went, thinking he was a liar. He couldn't blame her, he probably would not believe him either if the roles were reversed. And he knew how it sounded but it really was the truth, he swore it. "It's the truth. Your parents are the ones who told me." Zack knew that was probably too brutal to put it but it was what it was. To be honest, he probably should have toned it down but he wanted her to know that he was not lying about this. Why would he do that? There would have been no gain out of it. Not a friend obviously and that was what he wanted. That was when she had let it slip that she loved him. he was not expecting that one, and that was huge. He choked on his own spit when she said that as well. Well that was attractive. "What? You loved me?" it was surreal to him. "You should have told me, I loved you too. Well, love I guess." he could not believe how easily that spilled out. It was a little concerning but it was the truth. And god damn he had wanted to say that for the longest time. And now that it was out he had to say that he felt pretty damn good. Nobody had known that he was in love with her and now that someone did know he felt so much better.

Selena stared at him like he'd lost his mind and didnt say anything for a long time. Her parents had told him? Why on earth would they be that cruel. It was hard to believe. Her parents loved her and you don't do that to someone you love. But then again they had always hated Zack. They didn't think that he was good enough for their baby girl. But did that mean that they would completely ruin her life just to make sure that she didn't end up with him? Thats exactly what it had done too, ruined her life, for a long time. she had been completely devastated. it had taken her /years/ to get over it. and seeing him now she realized that she still wasnt over it.That was just crazy. And her and Zack were just friends. It's not like they would of ever ended up together in the first place so there was no need to go through all that trouble. Zack didn't like her like that anyways. That was a fact that she was pretty sure of. Zack had never lied to her before. so why the hell would he start now? What could he possibly have to gain by making up this crazy ass story? Nothing. If she really thought about it she should probably believe him no matter how crazy he sounded. She took a breath. alright, I believe you she said finally. but there is still a lot to be explained. God this is so fucked up.

When he said he loved her too she stared at him again not saying anything, just letting the words sink in. For the second time that day she didn't believe him. This sounded crazier to her than the whole 'I thought you were dead' story. Just a second ago she had been convinced that he didn't like her like that and now here he was saying the complete opposite. And he had said love not loved This day was getting crazier by the second. Eventually she realized that she wasn't saying anything and was just gaping at him. Well the question was weather or not he was telling the truth or saying it to make her feel better. Well there was one way to figure that out. Without really thinking to much about what she was doing she leaned in and kissed him. If he was saying it to make her feel better he probably wouldn't kiss back so she prepared herself for the worst.

[atrb=border,0,true] Zack did not like the stare that Selena was giving him. It was as if he had lost his mind and he really hadn’t. He knew that this was a lot to take in but everything he was saying was the truth, he would never lie to her. He liked her too much so it was whatever he supposed. He was holding his breath while she let everything he had said sink in and it felt like forever since she had said something. He bit down on his bottom lip and shoved his hands in his pockets, wondering if she was still not believing him or if she was considering that this could be the truth, and it was. He just wanted to know what she was thinking right now and he wished that he could read minds. This would be a useful skill to have. It felt like forever before she had spoken again. And the words that came out of her mouth had him in disbelief for a second. She believed him? Well thank god for that he thought she would have thought that he was crazy. And maybe he was crazy but that really was what had happened and he would not lie to her. That would be crazy talk. So then he grinned at her. “You believe me? That was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be.” he laughed a little since it was just not expected but hey, at least she believed him right? “I would ask your parents I guess. They’re the ones who put this all together.” he told her, wondering if that would be going too far or not. When he said that he loved her she had not said anything for a long time. He started to get nervous because he really did love her after all this time. And to be honest it was her fault as to why all of his relationships after failed. He was too busy comparing her to every other girl that he started to date and it was unfair to them. Maybe she did not believe him once again. But it was the honest to god truth and he was unsure of how to make her believe him. He supposed that he could just kiss her, then maybe she would believe him. Before he could even think about it, she leaned in and kissed him. He was shocked at first, unsure of how to go about this but after a couple seconds of just being a complete idiot he started to kiss her back, glad that finally, after all this time, he was able to kiss his best friend. What a crazy day this was. TAGGED selena ( amanda ) NOTES dun dun dun >D

[selena marie stone]

Selena thought that maybe /she/ was the one that was going crazy for believing him, she did believe him, but the whole thing was crazy as fuck. He was right. She needed to talk with her parents (who would probably deny everything) if she planned on getting anywhere. But not now. Right now she just wanted to enjoy having her best friend back in her life. Something she didn't think would ever happen again. god, I've missed you she muttered.

Never in a million years did selena think she'd even /see/ Zack again let alone be /kissing/ him now. This day was getting stranger and stranger by the second. At first when he didn't kiss back she started to panic. Of course he wasn't going to kiss her back. Of fucking course. She should of known that she was right from the beginning. Of course he had just said he loved her to make her feel better, he didn't mean it. She had just fucked everything up now. Instead of having her friend back like she could of, she had just made things awkward as hell and now she wouldn't even be able to look at him. But then he started to kiss back and she had never felt so relieved in her life. She melted into the kiss pulling him closer and running her hands through his hair. She had waited for this moment for...forever and she wasn't about to waste it. She pulled away grinning like an idiot.

But then her brain caught up with the rest of her and she realized what she was doing. fuck she muttered out loud. She had a fiancé she couldn't be here kissing another guy. Even if that other guy happened to be Zack. What kind of a person did that? Fuckfuckfuck. zack..I-I can't she said brokenly. She knew she had to explain she owed him that much at least. i'm getting married soon she announced. and he's a great guy and I can't oh my god I shouldn't of done this I'm sorry. she babbled

[atrb=border,0,true] When she said that she had missed him Zackary could not help but smile because he had missed her too. And it was weird to have someone miss you seeing as it was just him and his family all the time so that really did not count. He could say he missed his family but he was supposed to, they were all related to each other. If he did not miss his family then maybe something would have been wrong with him right? He figured that if he did not then that would mean that he and his family did not get along and that was not the case. Zack liked his family a lot, they were pretty nice to him when he was a completely douche sometimes and yet they still loved him so he had no choice but to like them. “I missed you too.” he told her back, meaning every little bit of it. He really did miss her it was crazy how much he missed her. If you would have told him a few hours ago that he would be here kissing his sort of ex best friend he probably would have laughed in your face. The idea was so farfetched that he could not even believe it now that he was actually doing it. But the thing was, he liked it. He liked it a lot. And he wanted to keep kissing her until he could not breathe anymore and it seemed like she felt the same way. But maybe he was wrong. Maybe she was just seeing something and she hated it? Oh god what if she did hate kissing him? He was not sure if he would feel bad or if he would feel humiliated. Honestly that would probably be the worst thing on the planet. And as he was mentally going back and forth with sorry she suddenly stopped and said she couldn’t do this anymore. What? Why not? Was it something he did to her? Did he kiss her weird? Oh god what if he did? Then she said that she was getting married and Zackary felt his heart get ripped out of his chest. She was getting married? What? Since when? He wasn’t sure if he couldn’t breathe or if he was just hyperventilating but it all amounted to the same thing really. “You’re getting married? To who?” he asked her, hurt. Maybe he was hurt because he was too late or maybe he was hurt because she was clearly choosing her fiancé over him who was her best friend. Whatever it was, he was still hurt and he hated this feeling. TAGGED selena ( amanda ) NOTES dun dun dun >D
