A/N: Hey there everyone! This will be my first time publicly posting fanfiction so I'm sorry that I'm not a very prolific writer but I really am trying. If there's any horrific mistakes I'm really sorry, but I did proofread it so hopefully there isn't any! This begins after the first season concludes, so hopefully you guys have all seen it! (if you haven't seen the end, there are spoilers and the storyline won't make sense, so maybe watch that if you can!)

Obviously, all the characters in this belong to Johnathan M. Shiff and I own nothing at all. I am just a lowly fangirl, please don't sue!

CHAPTER ONE.

And I go crazy 'cause here isn't where I wanna be,
And satisfaction feels like a distant memory.

"Look, Evie, I just can't do this anymore" sighed Zac, plunking down on the seat next to his girlfriend in the house that he shared with his parents.

"You know that you'll always be special to me" he said while gently tucking a lock of Evie's soft hair behind her ear. "But I can't always be here for you anymore". He sighed again, looking dejectedly at his knees. "It's better if you find someone else that will always be with you, and I don't think I can be that person" he trailed off, looking out the window to the slow ripples the water was making in the afternoon sunlight.

Evie, however, knew that this was coming. She had known for quite a while that Zac was struggling with, well, everything in his life. He no longer turned up to classes at school anymore, and he was practically non-existent at the Ocean Café where they used to spend a lot of time together with their friends. Now that Cam had gone crazy with the whole trident thing, Zac just seemed to spend every waking minute of his life in the water or at Mrs. Santos' house doing whatever it is they do there. It was all a bit frustrating that she couldn't really be a part of it, even though she knew the secret. She looked up at him and kissed his turned cheek.

"It's okay Zac, I understand. It must be so hard for you and I can see that, and I know our relationship has been suffering, but at the very least, can we still be friends?" she asked as he turned his head to face her and his eyes became glassy, and she wasn't sure if he was crying or if it was just a trick of the light. She felt some wetness at the corner of her eye and she turned away from him, hugging her knees to her chest and breathing deeply. He stood up and crouched in front of her, holding her hands. She looked up at him, her face streaked with tears.

"Of course we can darling. Of course we can." He said and kissed her hair. She sniffled a little bit and then got up.

"Well, erm, if you don't mind, I'm, well, I'm going to just go" she said and with that she swiftly departed, leaving Zac standing in the room alone with a sad look on his features.
