Name: Everything you Want

Disclaimer: I don't own Zac

Jackie almost forgot to chew as she bit into her egg sandwich. She felt like she hadn't eaten since the beginning of time and she just couldn't help herself as she watched the waitress place the plate down in front of her.

Zac watched her with a raised eyebrow as she took a few gulps from her orange juice, seeing her made him suddenly loose his appetite as he stared down at his eggs and bacon.

"So I guess living on your own isn't working out for you?" he asked taking a sip from his coffee.

Jackie realized how disgusting she was being and stopped chewing to answer "yeah it's definitely not what I expected" she said sighing looking down at her plate.

The sandwich was almost gone and she was feeling a lot fuller. She looked up at him and smiled as he took a piece of bacon "thanks for taking me out this is all really nice of you"

She started to pick at her hash browns feeling embarrassed that she had just chow down like that. She looked up around the small diner. It was nice and quaint the first place Jackie had been to since moving out to LA.

Zac smiled "it's no problem I mean we might as well be friendly if we're going to be neighbors"

He took a bite out of his eggs letting the yolk make a puddle underneath his bacon. He wasn't paying much attention as she went on about school and her hometown, his mind was thinking about bigger things.

He missed Vanessa and all last night he couldn't sleep because of it. He wanted to drive over to her house to try to fix things but he had a feeling she was with him, the guy she left him for.

He hated her for that. For 8 months he thought things were going great, they were taking it slow and were starting to talk about the future then it all started to go down hill. She wouldn't call him for days and she always made up an excuse to not see him. Her cheating on him was the last thing on his mind until he saw them out on a date.

Zac remembers that night like it was yesterday but he didn't like to think about it.

Jackie frowned looking over at him watching him stare off in to the puddle of yolk.

"You want to talk about it?" she asked taking another bite of her sandwich waiting for him to answer back.

Zac looked up at her "nah I don't want to bore you with my life" he said with a weak smile. Jackie felt like listening to him she was always good at listening, she put her hand on his lightly as it sat limp on the table rubbing it.

She felt his hand tense up for a second before it relaxed back on the table "It's the least I can do, just let it out" she said making him chuckle.

He took a deep breath and explained the whole story in about ten minutes. Jackie would nod every once in awhile but he could tell that she was actually listening. Not a lot of people listened to what he had to say.

Once he was finished Jackie looked over at him wide eyed "that's awful I'm so sorry".

She had kept her hand on his throughout the whole story and now she took it back to her lap "just think of it this way, she doesn't deserve you" Jackie said now slapping her hand on the table

"Just forget about her, this is a big city with a lot of girls willing to date you" Zac nodded looking down at his plate "I thought I loved her…" he said trailing off. He was fiddling with a straw wrapper until the breeze from the door blew it off the table.

Jackie's heart ached for him but she knew there was nothing she could say to make him feel any better "Zac If I knew the right words to say I would say them but you have to heal yourself on your own terms, no one can make you feel any better even if they tried"

He looked up at her "that had to be the most useful information I have gotten today" he smiled as Jackie giggled "because I'm the first person you have talked to all day"

Zac shook his head smiling as he took another bite of his eggs.

Jackie dropped her fork on the plate making a clanging noise as she looked at her watch.

"Shoot I'm late for class, I really should go" she said standing up and grabbing her bag

"Thanks again I'll pay you back when I get my pay check today"

Zac shook his head "no don't worry about it, it's on me" Jackie put her hand on his shoulder as he cleared his throat "oh and thanks for listening, your right I needed to let it off my chest"

Jackie smiled as she let her hand slip off his shoulder before walking away. She felt bad because she didn't say goodbye but she was too busy running out the door towards school. Am I ever going to be on time for anything! She thought as she made her way down the street.

Zac got up from the table leaving some money behind. He walked towards the door still thinking about Vanessa by now he had a feeling he would never get over her.

Jackie walked through the glass door dropping her keys back in her bag. The sun had risen higher in the sky making her sweat as she walked home and when she walked in to the muggy apartment lobby it didn't help matters.

She looked over at Zac's door wondering what was going on with him. Ever since their little breakfast a week ago she hadn't seen or talked to him.

She was proud of herself as she made her way over towards the stairs. She had just cashed her second paycheck and she was planning on going grocery shopping a little later.

She had just made it to the foot of the stares when she heard someone call after her

"Excuse me?" the voice said sounding a little agitated and rushed. Jackie spun around seeing a girl about a couple feet away from her holding a box. Jackie raised an eyebrow "yes…?" she asked curiously as the girl stepped forward

"Do you happen to know the guy who lives in 2B?" she asked shifting the box to the other hip.

Jackie looked down the hall trying to see which door was 2B and when she spotted it she nodded

"Yeah I do actually why? Are you having trouble getting into the apartment or something?" Jackie asked as the girl laughed to herself.

"Oh no trust me I don't want to go in I just really need to drop this off and he's not answering so I was wondering" the girl hesitated repositioning the box again "if you could give this to him when you see him"

Jackie smiled and nodded seeing it as no big deal "yeah sure no problem" Jackie stepped forward taking the box. When she got a good grasp she asked "Uhm, who should I say this is from?"

The girl smiled and rolled her eyes 'Oh duh you need to know who I am. Just tell him it's Vanessa and there are all his things for him to take back" she was about to walk away when she turned around "almost forgot, tell him I want all my stuff back from his apartment I really need it" She smiled and waved goodbye "thanks you're a big help"

Jackie watched as she glided back across the lobby and out the door. "Vanessa…Vanessa why does that sound so familiar?" Jackie asked herself still standing there but after a second she didn't want to think anymore because the box was feeling heavy now.

She walked slowly up the stairs praying to go she wouldn't fall backwards and once she was up on the second floor she took a deep breath breaking a sweat now

"What is this thing filled with bricks and rocks?" she asked her self as she set it on the ground carefully.

If this was full of zac's stuff it had to be pricey and she didn't want to break it.
