Yes, I have another story. You will probably see a lot from me over the summer hiatus. I really hope you like this one. Please tell me the truth.

Disclaimer: I still do not own Zoe or Wade or Hart of Dixie.


Zoe had 2 weeks left of her summer in New York. Her job at the hospital ended the day before and now she was just going to spend the next 2 weeks relaxing and hanging out with friends.

"I have missed shopping" Zoe said to her mom as they walked down 5th Ave

"I bet, are there even any good places to shop in all of Alabama?"

"There are some cute shops in Mobile. They're no Saks or Bendels though." she added

"Are you ready to go back there?"

"Yeah, I am. I think I have really cleared my head of the drama I left there and I'm ready to go back. Drama free."

"What are you going to do about Wade?"

Zoe sighed and rolled her eyes. "You have asked me that every other day this summer."

"And every other day you say the same thing, "I don't know". You just said you have cleared your head of the drama. So that must mean you know what you are going to do."

Zoe sighed again "I can't get back into a romantic relationship with him right away. I have forgiven but the trust is still not 100% back. He needs to earn that. So I hope we can do the friend thing for a while."

"But you love him?"

"Yes, I do"

"Will you tell him?"

"I'm.." Just then her phone started buzzing in her back pocket. "It's Lavon" she smiled "Hey Lavon!"

"Hey Big Z" he said. He wasn't as happy and cheerful as he usually is and Zoe had a feeling something was wrong.

"What's the matter?" she immediately asked

"Um well, I'm at the hospital and"

"Are you sick?"

"No, I'm fine. There was an accident at the Rammer Jammer. One of the beams we thought we secured when we first did the renovations fell and brought down a small chunk of the ceiling."

"Oh my gosh! Was anyone hurt? Can it be fixed again?"

"Yeah, it can get fixed when they get the money and bring in a professional this time. Thank god only a few people were in there at the time."

"You didn't answer if anyone got hurt? Who?" she asked just above a whisper

Lavon took a breath, this was the last thing he wanted to tell her "Wade was hit with the beam and everything else that came down with it."

Zoe gasped and her hand flew over her mouth "Is he ok?"

"He has a couple broken ribs which caused a punctured lung , his right ankle is fractured and his left arm is broken" he paused for a moment

"That's not all is it?"

"Zoe, he's in a coma. He was knocked in the head by something, most likely the beam and is unconscious and they haven't been able to wake him. They said his brain is slightly swelled but say it is under control."

Zoe was silent and still. A few tears have escaped her and they were becoming more and more as the seconds passed. Her mom was looking on in pure panic, she had no idea what has got her daughter so upset.

"Zoe?" Lavon asked

"I'll be there tonight" she choked out

"I'm sorry to have to call and tell you all this" he said

"Tell him I'm coming" she cried

"I will. Let me know your information and I'll pick you up"

"Ok" she said and hung up. She stared blankly at her mom wiping the tears away and trying to compose herself

"What's wrong sweetie?"

"Wade" was all she could say

Candice hailed a cab right away to take them back to her apartment. Zoe was silent the entire ride just staring at the blank screen of her phone. Once they got back to the apartment Zoe ran upstairs and frantically threw clothes in her suitcase. Candice walked in and sat on the bed.

"Honey, what happened?"

"Wade was, Wade was. The roof of the Rammer Jammer came down. He's in a coma. I have to go"

Candice pulled her into a hug. "Everything will be fine. He'll be fine"

"I can't lose him Mom." she started crying again

"You won't. I'm coming with you. You shouldn't be on plane by yourself right now. I'll go get us a flight."

2 hours later they were on the plane. Zoe still barely said a word. Candice hated seeing her daughter like this and she couldn't do anything about it. When they landed in Mobile Zoe was the first one off the plane and running to find Lavon. He was standing waiting for them by the entrance. He grabbed Zoe in a big bear hug. Again her tears began to fall.

"Everything is going to be ok" he whispered rubbing her back "The Doctors are very positive." Zoe just nodded against his chest

"Hey Lavon" Candice greeted "How's he doing?"

"Hi Mrs. Hart. He's the same, which they say is good for now."

"Good"

Zoe was again silent in the car. When they passed the exit to the hospital she spoke up for the first time. "Where are you going?"

"Home, visiting hours are long over" he simply stated

"No! I have to see him. I'm his doctor."

"Zoe, it's 11 o'clock at night. I promise we will go bright and early tomorrow." he reassured her

She became silent again. Once they got to the plantation Lavon dropped them off at the carriage house. He helped bring their bags in and gave Zoe another hug.

"It'll be fine Zo. Get some sleep, I'll see you in the morning" he kissed her head and walked out

"I'm going to go change" Candice said heading towards the bathroom

"I'm going for a walk" Zoe told her and stormed out the door

Candice knew she would be fine and let her go. She had a feeling she knew where she was headed anyway.

Zoe ran down the porch steps, passed the fuse box and Burt and right up Wade's porch. She turned the handle on his door and it opened. A slight chuckle escaped her at the thought of him never locking his door. She walked in and went straight to his bed. She curled up in the sheets, grabbing one of his shirts from off the floor and holding it close. She drifted off to sleep as the tears rolled down her cheeks.


I hope you guys enjoyed it. Please reaview and let me know :)
