So I had written one HoD one shot and I really enjoyed writing it and this idea kept bugging me over the weekend and tada here it is. This is an AU story! I hope everyone enjoys it and feedback would be wonderful and I'm still not sure where I'm going with it, I just know it will be a Zade story, even if at times it doesn't seem like it. Ok enough rambling from me.


Zoe stepped off the plane in Mobile, Alabama wanting to be back in New York. She got her suitcase looking around to see if she could see the man who was her father. Harley Wilkes. She's known from a young age that Ethan Hart wasn't her father. He had pulled away taking off to be the best surgeon in Europe. It was then that her mother sat her down and explained that Harley was her father. He would come up for a couple of weeks every summer and a few weeks every now and again but now that she was 18 and done with High School she was keeping her promise that she would visit Bluebell, Alabama before she started college in the fall. She had to be the best. She wanted Ethan to be proud of her. It was her way of saying that she wanted to be like him. She wanted to be the best surgeon their ever was. She had no desire to be a GP like Harley was. There weren't a lot of people at the airport and she hadn't forgotten what her father looked like in just a few short weeks. Her eyes settled on Harley.

"Zoe it's great to see you dear." Harley exclaimed hugging her. She graciously hugged backed.

"It's good to see you to Harley." Even though he was her father she couldn't call him dad. She wasn't comfortable enough for that yet. She held walls up around her, she had every right too. After everything she's learned about her screwed up life. They got Zoe's things in his car and they headed off to Bluebell. They caught up as they went. Zoe had promised to help out at the practice during her time in Bluebell. Harley had told her it would only help her when it was time. Zoe didn't press him on what it meant. She just nodded her head moving on from it. Zoe sighed to herself as she saw what was Bluebell. Harley had ranted on about the best places to go and that Fancies was the only nice restaurant in town for a real romantic date. Zoe had rolled her eyes at that. She didn't come to Bluebell for some summer romance. No she was banning off all guys for the summer. She was putting Zoe Hart first like has for years now. It was what needed to be done.

Zoe climbed outta the car the sun shining above. Zoe wanted to be where it was cool at. Harley had got her luggage and she slowly followed behind him. She walked up the stairs seeing Harley put her bags in the first room on the left.

"It's not much but you can do as you please with it Zoe." Zoe smiled at him walking into the room. There was a closet that would be home to her clothes for 90 days. 90 long days. The bed was ok, Zoe wasn't keen on the flower pattern on the blanket but it would suffice for now. There was a small dresser by the closet and a vanity mirror off in the corner of the room. Zoe sat on the bed not wanting to unpack. She watched the townspeople out her bedroom window. Going on as there was no care in the world. The three people who caught her interest the most. They were about her age, the young women was wearing a white dress with a yellow design mixed in with it. She had blonde hair that was pulled into a bun. She was holding hands with a handsome guy with dark brown hair, he had muscle and the third was yet another guy with darker blond hair. Zoe watched as they goofed off as they walked out of her sight. Zoe pushed herself off her bed and walked downstairs. "Zoe dear I'm sorry but I'm needed at the practice."

"It's ok Harley. I'm gonna go explore Bluebell." Zoe told him with fake excitement laced through her voice. Harley just looked at her before leaving. Zoe took a deep breath and walked out the door. She looked around trying to figure out where all the kids her age hung out at. Or more importantly what did they do for fun? Zoe started to walk in a random direction turning a corner running smack dab into something hard. It wasn't until she looked up that she realized that it was a guy who she assumed was close in age to her. He had a darker skin tone then she had. "I'm sorry about that." She told him giving the man a small smile.

"That's ok. I'm Lavon Hayes. You are?" He asked eying her. He spent his life in this town and he had yet to meet her.

"Zoe Hart." She responded.

"You're Dr. Wilkes daughter from New York." He rattled off. Great she was already the town's gossip. Things just weren't looking better for her. Zoe couldn't think of a comeback before he spoke again. "I'm meeting some friends at the Rammer Jammer. You should come with."

"I don't know about that." Zoe spoke not sure she really wanted to run around and make friends already. She didn't wanna disappoint them the day she left and never came back here. Bluebell wasn't for her. She would make it through the next 3 months but she wouldn't return. That she knew.

"Lavon will not take no for an answer." He swung his arm around Zoe's shoulders and made her walk with him to the Rammer Jammer. She found it appalling to learn that the Rammer Jammer was nothing more than a bar. And it was ok for teenagers to hang out there.

"Hey Lavon who's your new friend?" Zoe looked up at the gruffy southern accent meeting the most charming blue eyes she has ever seen. She blushed slightly realizing that he was one of the three she had seen earlier outside her bedroom window. She glanced to see that the other two were with him as well.

"This here is Zoe Hart."

"Dr. Wilkes daughter from New York?" Lemon bit out amused by it as she studied Zoe.

"This here is Lemon Breeland, her beau George Tucker and this is Wade Kinsella." Lavon spoke up pointing to each of them. Zoe smiled at them all well except for Lemon that was.

"Look Lavon it was nice of you to do this for me, but I gotta go." Zoe told him. She turned to the other three. "It was nice to meet you all." Zoe turned on her heel and walked out wrapping her arms around her. What was she thinking? There was no way she could make it 3 months, 90 whole days in this town.

"Yo Zoe wait up." Zoe looked behind her as kept on walking to see that blue-eyed, blond hair guy running to catch up to her.

"I don't chase after girls, they chase me." He smirked finally catching up to her. Zoe rolled her eyes.

"Your little lines won't work on me. Now what was it you needed?" Zoe shot at him as she walked.

"You know forget it. Just because you're from New York doesn't make you better than the rest of us Zoe Hart." He snapped turning to walk off. She wanted to run after him and tell him off but Zoe Hart did not chase after any guy. It's not like she cared what Wade and his friends thought of her anyways. Even if it did she wouldn't admit it to herself.
