Epilogue
He felt the snow crunch under his feet as he made his way out of the car the car door coming to a soft click behind him as it shut. He stared up at the large building before him as his breath came out in short whips in front of him.
Shoving his hands into the pocket of his brown jacket that he had wrapped around his body he slowly came around to the cleared sidewalk and towards the building. What he was doing here he wasn't sure, but he knew he couldn't ignore the fact that he wanted to be with Elena.
Pulling open the door of the building he smiled as the warm air hit him. It was a relief to his cold face and almost frozen fingers. It had been one hell of a car ride up here. The car that he had borrowed from a friend to come up here had no heater what so ever and when that blizzard hit he was sure that he was going to get frost bite.
Reaching a bank of elevators he pressed the button to call the elevator and returned his cold hands into his pockets. His fingers prickling to life caught his attention and then he realized that he was feeling something else in the pocket of his jacket. He pulled out the object and smiled. Reading the words over and over again he couldn't smile.
Elena,
You said you were always curious about me, well I could say the same about you, you never ceased to amaze me and everything about you was so wonderful that I found myself before I knew it falling for you. I would love another chance to get to know you and I'm sure that if you're willing to have me I'll be here for you always.
Love always,
Zick
The elevator dinged softly as he stepped inside and pressed the button for the fifth floor, and the elevator rose softly. Some part of him wanted to press the cancel button on the elevator return to the bottom floor and drive back home without a look back, however, the other half wanted to continue. He wanted to see Elena, and after the note that she left him, he had to do something.
The doors slid open and he walked down the hallway towards Elena's room coming to a stop in front of room 534 B, he pulled his hands out of his pocket and the flower as well and stood there. He hesitated for a moment before knocking on the door. His feet moved before he realized and he ducked into the doorway of another room. He heard her door slide open and there was a pause before he heard the door shut again. A small smile graced his lips as he realized that the flower that he had placed there was now gone.
Walking back over he smiled as he made his way back over to the door, and found himself knocking on the door again. After a minute the door was opened again and he felt a smile gracing his lips as he noticed Elena standing there in the doorway, looking more beautiful and happier then he had ever seen here.
"Hi Elena." Was all he was able to get out before she crushed him in a hug, the funny thing was though as he found himself wrapping his arms around her was that he wasn't cold anymore, not even a little bit. Not at all.
