This is just an idea I had when I heard that Michael French is leaving EastEnders it is a Zick and Zax fanfic, I am naming it as a one-shot now but only cause I am not sure if I should continue or not so please tell me via twitter, PM or through a review, please reviewJ

It was a normal day in the ED noel and Louise were fighting, Caleb was trying but failing to pull lily and max was going around dropping zoe cheeky winks and smiles which zoe of course didn't respond too as she would die if anyone found out about their relationship, if you could even call it that.

Zoe stood in the staffroom making herself a rather large coffee, it was her admin day the day that she was only to be disturbed if it was a emergency, the day that was filled with hours of paperwork and the day that max always popped in to make her feel better.

Max came in to the staffroom with the usual cheeky smile on his face which meant that he was up to something, he purposely brushed past Zoe who immediately smiled as she was on her way to her office.

When it was her admin day max would always leave zoe flowers on her desk and sometimes a note with a cheesy saying on it that would cheer her up or make her laugh and today was no exception as zoe walked into her office to find a bunch of roses that must have cost max a fortune.

Zoe smiled and put them in a vase that was full of water, then she sat down knowing that on her admin day, the day that she was not to be disturbed there was always a major accident that somehow kept zoe in rhesus all day which meant that she couldn't get most of her admin work done and as zoe predicted this happened.

Zoe arrived back from rhesus 3 hours later, 3 hours she had been stuck in the same room but as soon as Zoe opened her office door she smiled as a note had been left on her desk in the same place as it usually was but today the note said something different, something that Zoe wasn't expecting.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
I've never found someone as beautiful
As you

Roses are red
Violets are blue
You know I'll always be sorry
that I hurt you

Roses are red
Violets are blue
If I could
I'd turn back time to when it first kissed you

Roses are red
Violets are blue
If you don't believe me
Then I will show you

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Baby no one knows me
As much as you

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Believe me,

I'll do anything
To get you

Roses are red
Violets are blue
You might not know
But I love you

Roses are red
Violets are blue
If I could pick anyone
I would pick you

Roses are red
Violets are blue
The first day I saw you
That's when I knew

Roses are red
Violets are blue
No one will ever love you
As much as I do

Roses are red
Violets are blue
My heart skips a beat
When I'm laying next to you

zoe read the note over and over again, it was like it had been specially adjusted to fit in with her love life as that's how it had always ended with the men zoe loved, in heartbreak.

Zoe knew that max would never have written this as he probably didn't even know about Zoe's past and only someone what knew her inside and out could have written that.

Zoe would never share her private life with her staff but for this she needed help and she knew that she would get it from Tess.

Zoe walked to the reception desk where Tess was having a conversation with max, Charlie, noel and Louise.

"Are you ok" said Tess when she first saw Zoe

Noel, Louise, Charlie and max turned around, Zoe's face was pale and she just shook her head at Tess before handing her the note which Tess decided to read out loud.

Once Tess had read the note everyone gasped and Zoe's theory about max not sending it was pretty much confirmed by his face.

"Who's that from" said Tess handing the note back to Zoe

"Not a clue" said Zoe shaking her head

"Is it true" was all the Louise could say

Tess and Zoe shot Louise a look which was giving her an answer but at the same time telling her not to ask the question.

"He is full of passion" said Charlie

"I know" said Zoe "that's what worries me"

"Worries you?" said a voice from behind Zoe

Zoe recognised the voice and Tess, Zoe, Louise, Charlie, noel and max shot around to see nick standing in front of them, all 6 of them stood there with their mouths open and Charlie turned around to Tess.

"Pinch me" said Charlie who couldn't believe what he was seeing

Tess smiled and took the operturnaty to forcefully nudge Charlie

"Tess" said Charlie "I didn't mean literally"

Tess just laughed before looking seriously at nick wondering why on earth he was here

"n-n-nick?" said Zoe

"Hello Dr Hanna" said nick winking at Zoe as he usually did

"Well I guess we know who sent Zoe that note now" said Tess leaning over the desk talking to noel and Louise

Nick looked at Tess as it was as if her whole personality had changed and she was still friendly but she wasn't the nurse she used to be who wouldn't take risks, wouldn't speak out and wouldn't say a word wrong, there was something different, it was like she was happier.

"N-nick what are you doing here" said Zoe

"I came here to do something that I should have done a long time ago" said nick

Zoe looked over at Tess who just shrugged as nick put his arm around Zoe's waist pulling her towards him before placing a gental kiss on her lips, hoping that she would respond.
