Hi. This is a new one-shot for my new fave show and couple I ship Disclaimer: I don't own How to Rock. Or songs in this!

In The Moment

Stevie's POV

It was a normal Friday after school. I wasn't really in the mood to go to gym class today so I skipped. It was my last class of the day so it was no big deal. It was about 1:20pm and I was lying under a tree in a special area I found while exploring with Zander in the beginning of High School. It seems like it was just yesterday when we found it.

*Flash Back*

Still Stevie's POV

"Come on I'm so bored. Let's just skip English. We don't really need to take it anyway." I said trying to convince Zander to come with me.

"No. I don't want to get in trouble by Mr. Murray again. He scares me." He said very pathetically.

"Ha. He's just an old lonely person. Nothing to be scared of." I said grabbing his hand and starting to walk.

"Ok. Ok. Let's go. We just can't be out too late."

"I know that. Plus it's only 1:30" I said looking at my watch.

"Fine. Lead the way." With that we took off on our little adventure. After about 10 minutes of walking we found a big bushed area with a huge tree in the middle of it.

"It's so pretty in here" I exclaimed to Zander.

"Yeah and it looks like no one has ever been here." He said looking around.

"Alright for now on this is our place. Nobody can know about it. Okay?" I asked him.

"Alright. If it's going to be our place then we have to make it." He said taking out a pocket knive and carving the letters 'S&Z' into the tree trunk.

*End of flash back*

I smiled just remembering the thought. I got scared when I heard rustling in the bushes.

"Hey, Stevie you in here?" He asked coming into the place.

"Uh. Yeah. I'm here." I said getting up.

"What are you doing here?" He asked.

"I was having a bad day." I explained to him.

"Well that's not good. Everybody missed you at practice today." He told me while laying down with me against the tree.

"Not at all. Man I forgot about practice today."

"Eh. It's fine, Kevin got sick so he had to leave so we really didn't do anything."

"Oh. How did you know I would be out here?" I asked him.

"Really Stevie? You are always out here after a hard day." He said.

"Right. I knew that."

'So what happened today?" He asked moving closer to me.

"Well first I was late for first period class so I got detention, then I failed my science test. And to end my horrible day my mom called." My mom was always a tough subject after she left.

"Really? Do you know what she wanted?" He asked.

"No. But probably money for weed or something." I said with a hint of anger in my voice.

"Don't say that."

"Why not it's true." I raised my voice. "Sorry for yelling at you."

"Hey it's fine." He said calmly. After that we fell into a comfortable silence for what seemed to be a year but in reality it was a half hour.

"We should get going." I said.

"Yeah the group must be worried. He grabbed my hand helping me up.

"Thanks." For the whole way home he held my hand.

"Hey guys where were you" Kasey asked us.

"At our place" I replied.

"So what's going on with the hand holding?" Nelson asked. Zander released my hand.

"Sorry"

"S'Cool" I said blushing. For the rest of the day we played gamed in our practice room and hung out. Today turned out to be better that it started.

FIN.
