CHAPTER ONE

Zoe took a deep breath as she got out of her car, staring at the ED before her. It was the first time she had been back since the whole baby thing, and to say she was nervous about seeing Nick again was an understatement.

On the other side of the car park she saw Nick arrive and quickly pretended she was looking at her make-up in her mirror. Just seeing him made Zoe's eyes well up with tears. After he had gone inside, she quickly wiped them away and walked into the ED, her head held high. Zoe was NOT going to give him the satisfaction of seeing her upset.

When she got in, Nick had disappeared thankfully.

"Good morning Dr. Hanna." said Noel cheerfully.

"Morning Noel." replied Zoe

As she walked to her office, Zoe's stomach twisted. Nick was coming her way. She picked up speed, her heels clicking on the hard floor. Zoe felt Nick's arm gently brush hers, which sent a small shiver down her spine. Entering her office, she shut the door and sat at her desk. Realising she had a left a small photo on it, Zoe quickly threw it in the bin before she started crying again. She started to type out an email, her resignation letter. Zoe couldn't stay here any longer, it hurt too much. She couldn't bare to see him everyday after the terrible thing she had done. She had broke his heart, and it was time to start afresh. It hurt, but she had to leave.

Suddenly there was a sharp knocking at her door. For one moment Zoe thought it might be Nick and froze, bet realising he would probably never speak to her again, except when they were working, Zoe relaxed and said "Come in."

Adam entered with a strange smile on his face, like he was forcing it. It wasn't the way he usually smiled.

"H h hi Zoe, I just wondered how you were."

"I'm fine Adam." Zoe said, forcing a smile.

"Oh ok, ummm you know Zoe, if you ever need anyone to talk to I'm here ok?" Adam said, scratching the back of his head.

"Adam really, I am absolutely fine!" Zoe said, a slightly annoyed tone to her voice.

"I just want some time alone, after what I've b been through." As she said this her eyes pricked and a tear escaped her eye.

"Zoe…." Adam said worriedly. He shut the door and knelt down so he was level with her. "You are not fine! I know it's hard having to go to work with Nick here, but you can get through this."

"I can't Adam, I'm leaving."

"What? What the hell Zoe?"

"Adam, please understand, I need to start afresh, it's the best thing for both me and Nick, he breaks my heart every time I see him, and I probably do the same to him."

"But…"

"No buts Adam, I'm leaving, and nothing you say or do is going to change my mind."

Adam sighed, There was no point in arguing with her. He nodded.

"Ok Zoe, I understand, but I'm really gonna miss you, you know."

"Oh come here." Zoe said, giving him a hug. "I'm gonna miss you too, but don't tell Nick ok?" It hurt to say his name.

"Sure."

"And don't make a big fuss when you tell the rest of the staff ok?"

"Yes of course Zoe."

"Thanks Adam." She smiled weakly.

Zoe's last day seemed to fly by. Before she knew it, it was time to leave. She packed her things into her bag. All Nick-related things were staying here. She wanted nothing to remind her of him. She sighed, opening her door, preparing to say her quick goodbyes before Nick noticed anything.

Meanwhile Nick was in his office, sorting patient notes. A knock sounded at the door.

"Come in." Nick said sharply.

"Hi Mr. J, just some more patient notes for ya."

"Thank you Noel."

"Are you gonna say goodbye to Zoe? She's off now, I have to admit I am gonna miss her."

"Sorry?" Nick said, not quite understanding.

"Well you knew she was leaving didn't ya? Off to make a fresh start apparently. Can't say I blame her, after everything she's been through" But Nick was out of the door before Noel had even finished the sentence.

Nick ran as fast as he could. Those few words had made him realise how much he loved Zoe, how much he needed her in his life.

"Where is she?" Nick said panicked.

"Oh Zoe?" Kirsty said, "she just left a minute ago."

Nick shot out the door like a cat. Kirsty looked at Adam, a confused look on her face.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Maybe he just wants to say goodbye."

Nick ran outside. It was pouring with rain. The raindrops trickled down his face as he looked around frantically for Zoe's car. Suddenly he saw it driving slowly away. He ran for it.

"Stop, STOP!" Nick shouted.

Zoe looked in her rearview mirror. She was gob smacked. There was the man she had loved, standing in the rain calling her name. She stepped out of her car.

"Nick? What the hell are you doing?"

"Zoe…..Zoe please don't go, Stay."

Zoe gazed at Nick's eyes, wide with relief that he hadn't lost her.

"Zoe I can't live without you, I…I love you…."

She stared at him, not quite believing it. Nick had one hand on each side of her head, gazing into her brown eyes. She closed them, and felt Nick's lips press against hers.

She wrapped her arms round his neck, one hand resting on the back of his head.

They kissed passionately, the rain falling around them, knowing they would be together forever.

And there ya go! A bit movie style, I know! But I hope you enjoyed it. Sorry if there are any mistakes. New chapter soon! x
