Finding His Lost Love

Zack Martin was in love. He had been in love since the first time he had laid eyes on Maddie Fitzpatrick. He was 12 at them time, while she was 15. Three years might not seem like that big of a deal to you, but to Maddie, it was everything. It seemed like everytime Zack saw Maddie he just had to tell her he loved her. And her response was always the same. She was three years older than him and it would never work out. He was just a kid.

That was seven years ago. Zack was now 19 and about to start college. Yes, you heard right, Zack had gotten into college. It was just as much a shock for him as it was everyone else. His mother was so proud of him. As was his twin brother, Cody. Everyone knew Cody would get into college but when Zack's acceptance letter came, they were all shocked, in a good way.

So, Zack packed his things and left for college. He would be attending a college in the south, while Cody was going to one a little closer to home. Zack had always wanted to get out of Boston. Ever since Maddie left for college 3 years ago, he had felt more alone than ever. Even after all these years, what everyone told him was just a schoolboy crush had turned out to be much more. He was devastated when Maddie announced she was leaving for college. Zack was only a sophomore in high school when she left. Once she was gone, he was determined to get out of Boston.

So, here he was on a train to some out of the way, smaller country college. He was excited while at the same time scared. He had no idea what to expect. Once his mother had taken the job at the Tipton Hotel seven years ago, they had stopped traveling. He had never been to the south. Tennessee to be exact. He was going to a small college in Tennessee. It was still hard for him to believe. Zack had decided he would make the most out of whatever came his way. He had grown up dramatically in the past seven years. He was no longer than little boy playing pranks on hotel guests. Zack Martin had grown into a very well behaved young man. He had everything he could want. Except one thing. The love of his life. He was determined to find Maddie. Not long after she left for college, she lost all contact with everyone at the hotel. She stopped writing to London every week. She no longer emailed Mr. Mosbey asking how everything was at the Tipton. Something had happened to her and Zack knew he would find out what. There was just one problem. He had no idea where to look for her.

A/N: Ok, so here's the deal. For the past week or so, I have had an idea running through my head for a Zack/Maddie story. I decided to sit down tonight and start writing. This is just a small Intro chapter. If you like it, I will continue. I know pretty much where I want to take this story. So, if you like it, even just a tiny bit and want me to post more, please, leave a review and tell me. All feedback is welcome, the good and the bad. For now, Tootles:)
