Okay, so this will be an ongoing fic starting at tomorrow's episode. What if there was no nurse there? What if max hadn't moved on? And Zoe and max from then on. Hope you enjoy, please give feedback.

Zoe had thought this through, what if max had moved on, realised that she was too old for him. Let's face it she wasn't exactly a skinny 20 something blonde nurse. Zoe quickly knocked these thoughts out of her head. At the end of the day she had to follow her own advice, zoe was many things but a hypocrite wasn't one of them.

She approached the store cupboard or 'office' as max would say with great apprehension. She hadn't been this nervous in a while and she knew why. She had fallen in love with a porter! And had just come to terms with that. Screw New Years resolutions, max is who she really wanted. Zoe hadn't acted her age her whole life so why start now?

She knocked on the door quiet enough to not draw attention to herself, but load enough for max to hear.

"Robyn, honestly I'm on my break so if this is some sort of lecture about stop being so depressed and get up and do something I'm not interested." Max moaned from the other side of the door. This sent a pang of guilt through Zoe's heart. She had broken him, made him feel like this, so depressed, so not... Max. She could never forgive herself for this, could he?

"Errm no it's Zoe." Zoe replied nervousness clearly shining through in her voice, Max had never heard her so fragile before.

"Oh right come in." Max said confused, their chat the week before and seeing her with Dylan had clearly told him where to go, so whatever this was about he thought it wasn't going to be good.

Zoe entered slowly, she emerged from the doorway in one of her tight royal blue dresses and signature black heels, her hair and make-up immaculate as ever. Max admired her in her full form but stopped himself as he remembered she would never be his and suddenly frowned. Zoe realised this and began to explain herself.

"I want to talk to you about something." Zoe started but was quickly interrupted by max who thought he knew where this was going.

"If it's about playing a game of golf, I'm really rubbish so you might wanna find another mate to go with." Max said his charm and cheekiness hidden by sadness and a hint of anger, but not much.

"See that's the thing your not my mate, you never will be my mate, and I don't want you to be, I've been stupid really stupid, I will totally get if u can't forgive me and want nothing to do with me." Zoe was now looking at the floor she couldn't look at him otherwise she would get lost in his good looks and it would hurt even more when he rejected her.

"Being a porter and all that I'm not the smartest, and I'm really confused right now, so I'm not your mate, is this you telling me you want nothing to do with me." Max said assuming the worst that Zoe wanted him out of her life forever. Surely he wasn't that bad.

Zoe suddenly looked up with hurt on her face that he would think that.

"No no no, never okay I love you, more than anything ever, I can't function properly without you, I can't sleep, I can't work I can't think. I need you in my life all the time!" Zoe said raising her voice looking into Max's eyes that lit up at the sound of what she just said

"You what?... Did you just say?..." Max found it hard to string a sentence together with the shock of what has just been revealed to him.

"I LOVE YOU!" Zoe happily declared smiling and staring into Max's equally smiling face. "I love your smile, I love your looks, I love your cheekiness, I love your cockiness, I love you in bed, I. LOVE. YOU." Zoe said shocking even herself at her declaration of love.

"That's good, because zoe hanna you are perfect in every single possible way, I've been lost without you, does this mean I have you back?" Max asked noticing that zoe hadn't actually mentioned if they were back together.

"If you will have me, I'm so sorry I've been such a cow." Zoe said as tears began to smudge her mascara. She pleaded for forgiveness.

"Oh don't be daft, I can't believe I've reduced YOU to tears, come here you could never be a cow!" Max consoled her as zoe walked up to him sat on his lap and gave him the most passionate kiss she has ever given anyone in her entire life.

"I've missed you!" She declared

"And I've missed you too." Max confirmed
