In Denial This is Zane and Rikkis point of view after they broke up. This takes place after season 3 and during the summer after they graduate.
Zanes p.o.v I look at the boarded up cafe because it was shut down shortley after the graduation party. There we go again I blew it again. First with Rikki and now with the cafe. Why is it so hard for me to let go of things. I can't get over Rikki leaving me and now I can't get over the cafe closing. What is it with me, it's not like me. I used to not care about anything and now look at me I care for everything. If my old self saw me I think he would just laugh at me. Every day I do the same thing. Get up, have breakfast, get dressed, go out to the shut down cafe, go to the beach and sit there until I go home. I never do anything anymore all my friends don't bother with me anymore. The only one who seems to like me is Sophie and we all know why. I sometimes think about stuff that I shouldn't think about. Like I always think about HER. Yes Rikki. Had her once, lost her and will never have her again. I always see her on her own. Since Bella and Will went to college together and Cleo went to America to Lewis she seems lonely these days. I often see her sitting on the beach and sometimes looking at the cafe named after her. We sometimes talk, well just say hi really. She spends all her time at Mako. She lost her friends and the cafe, just like me I lost my friends and the cafe but I also lost her. I wish we could just get back together as evertime I see her my heart skips a beat.
Rikkis p.o.v Ever since Cleo, Bella and Will went away to college I fell very alone I do is sit on the beach and think. Then go out to Mako which is no fun anymore because its only me on my own. So I just swim for hours instead. I then look at the cafe which was once particaly mine with Zane. I remember the night before it closed. Our graduation party. The night Zane told me to call him if I ever wanted company at Mako. I told him I would call anyone but him. I'm so stupid that I said that because now I'm all alone. I think about HIM all the time. I can't stop. I wish I could have him back but now he has Sophie. I sometimes see him at the shut down cafe just looking at it. He looks so lonely as his friends had given up on him. We sometimes say hi to eachother and when we do I still fell something for him. Something I shouldnt feel after what he did to me.
Then one day...
Zane was just sitting outside the cafe and Rikki was sitting nearby on the beach. Zane plucked up the confidience to ask her to sit with him. He thought that she would say no but she said yes. They sat together in silence just looking at the cafe. They still felt something for eachother but didnt wanna say so. Zane was first to talk. "Rikki I'm so sorry for hurting you if I could take it all back just to have you back I would but I can't and now I'v lost the one person I loved the most. You" "Zane I forgave you a long time ago but I can't trust you after what you did I still love you if that helps. They both just sat there looking at eachother for a long while. Zane took Rikki's hand in his. "Rikki I wish you could give me another chance and I promise not to hurt you again" "Zane I can't because I know that you will hurt me again and nothing will change my mind" Zane pulled her foreward and kissed her. "Did that change yourr mind?" But before she could answer he kissed her again. "Yea it did but this is your last chance if you screw up it's over ok?" "Fine by me just once i have you back" They kissed again and walked off hand in hand back together. Happy. Not in Denial.
