Hugs and Butterfly Kiss
Chances
Wade Kinsella sat strumming his guitar, a cool beer next to him, on his old porch. Usually this would relax him, calm his troubled mind but not this time. Wade wondered why that was and then snorted at his thoughts. Who's the one person that would get him so angsty, so troubled. Dr Zoe Hart since the very first day had gotten under his skin. She was beautiful and he fell. Hard. Most of Bluebell would laugh at the very thought of their resident Casanova falling for the city slick New Yorker or even falling for anyone. It had all changed when he met her. She was crazy, stubborn, annoying but at the same time she was the most amazing person he had ever met. Smart, sarcastic and stunning, she knocked he of his feet. She could never see that though, never see how much he...loved her.
Lavon was the first to realise it and confronted him about it. At the time Wade thought he was joking or that he had gone crazy but after time Wade realised that Lavon was right but by then it was too late. Lavon has urged Wade to tell Zoe about his feelings for her but he had been in denial and too stubborn to admit it. Looking back on it, it really should have been obvious to him like how jealous he gotten of that vet Zoe had gone out with and of her friendship with George Tucker.
Wade stopped his strumming as he heard some approaching his porch, looking up he saw the last person he wanted to see. Lavon leaned on the rail of the porch and stared at Wade in a way that only Lavon could pull off. " Zoe said to say bye and give this to you" Lavon said holding out a folded piece of paper. Wade lifted his hand to reach out and grab the letter but Lavon stepped back, glaring at him. "She was sad you didn't go to see her off". "She didn't say it but you could see it in her eyes". Lavon uttered to him. "She missed her best friend" he continued disappointment and sadness laced his voice and Wade felt ashamed. "You're a coward, Wade Kinsella and I am ashamed to call you a friend cuz' no friend of Lavon Hayes would be such fool and a coward" Lavon stated calmly although it was clear he was anything but.
Wade felt like that he should defend himself in some way but decided against it because the angry expression on Lavon's face. "In some way I'm glad you didn't go because you don't deserve her Wade" and with that Lavon threw down Zoe letter and stalked away up the path, back to his house.
Wade stared at Lavon's retreating back, his mind reeling. Usually if someone said that to him he would have beat them to a pulp but for some reason what Lavon had said stuck with him and made him feel sick. Looking down at his feet, Wade saw Zoe's letter. Deciding to distract him from Lavon's nasty words, he picked it up, unfolded it and began to read;
Dear Wade,
I had a feeling you won't show up today specially after your reaction when I told I was leaving Bluebell. I just want to tell you that even though I'm sad, I understand. Wade, you and Lavon were there for me from the start and for that I thank you so much. I don't think I would have survived Bluebell without you guys. Your were my first real friends, you and Lavon even if I wanted to kill you sometimes because you liked to annoy me so much. I will miss you Wade and if your ever visiting New York give me a call. I don't think I'll ever go back to Bluebell but I hope to see you soon.
Love, Zoe
Wade reread each line again and again, taking in each detail from the way she looped her O's to the random dried tears that scattered the letter. Wade suddenly realise what a mistake he had made not going to the airport like nearly everyone else in Bluebell. If he had gone he could have maybe convinced her not to go, to stay at Bluebell and work at the practise and maybe give him a chance but he didn't because he didn't want to get hurt. Wade jumped up out of the chair, sending the now warm beer crashing down with his guitar and ran to his truck. Climbing in he prayed he would get there in time and that Zoe would stay because Wade wasn't afraid anymore. He was going to that airport and if Zoe was still there he was going to drag her back because Wade was selfish and head over heels in love with Zoe Hart and he be damned if he was going to let her slip away from him.
Lavon Hayes silently laughed as Wades red truck drove down the road at a neck breaking speed. He had been so angry at Wade and Zoe for not realising or admitting there attraction for each other. It was so obvious a blind man could see it. The whole town had been taking bets on how long it would take for them to get together but today Lavon had never been so disappointed in Wade Kinsella. The heartbreaking look that Zoe had given him when had told her Wade was coming to say goodbye to her nearly made him cry and Lavon Hayes does not cry. Lavon made a silent pray that Zoe's plane was still delayed by the time Wade got there because honestly he had never met to people more suited towards each other and Lavon Hayes was a hopeless romantic.
I know don't kill but I kinds made it a cliffie and I'm sure if Wade should get there in time or not so tell if wade should there in time or if I should just leave it like it is.
