A/N: Hey guys! So this one isn't really set during any specific timeframe other than set in some fantasy world where Zoe and Wade are back together because they decided to quit being so stubborn! Anyway I did something somewhat similar to this in a part of the last one but I promise it will be a bit different, it's based off of the song Fix You by Coldplay. I hope you all enjoy it and if you have any song requests just let me know, and as always reviews are extremely helpful!
Based on: Fix You by Coldplay
As the early morning sun shone in through the window, Wade sleepily opened his eyes and groaned as he realized that he did indeed have to get up and begin his day, and that yes it would most likely be a very long one.
He scrunched up his face in confusion for a moment when he realized that the spot next to him was empty and when the events from the previous night had dawned on him he let out a frustrated sigh, Zoe and Wade had had their first fight since getting back together.
The two of them fighting was definitely to be expected, in fact anything different from this would just be downright strange bordering on supernatural, but this fight was different. They didn't bicker about him using all of her shampoo, or about her wavering feelings for George Tucker (that she constantly assured him were non-existent), in fact he didn't even know what this fight was about. All he remembered was a lot of crying, and maybe some irrational threats.
Wade rubbed his hand over his face before standing up, and making his way over to his girlfriend's (who also happened to be his neighbor) house.
Once he got there he hesitantly knocked on her door not quite sure if the sight of his face would be a welcome one. After a few moments Zoe slowly opened the door.
"Hi." The petite brunette said in a small voice, daring to make eye contact with Wade.
Wade rubbed the back of his neck. "Uh hey Doc, I just thought that I'd stop by before work and make sure that you were okay. I don't remember much about last night, but I remember that it got pretty ugly."
Zoe nodded. "Well thank you for the thought, I can assure you that I'm perfectly okay but the sentiment is appreciated, I know that the whole thing last night just came out of nowhere."
"Yeah that's the other thing, what exactly was that last night? I like to think that I have a pretty good memory provided that I'm not wasted and I can't for the life of me figure out what that was even about last night."
Zoe waved her hand dismissively. "Don't worry about it Wade, I was just having a bad day, really I'm fine." Zoe said unconvincingly with a faltering smile.
Wade cocked an eyebrow. "You sure?"
Zoe nodded. "Absolutely, in fact I should probably be getting to work right now myself. I'll see you tonight." The brunette said quickly, giving Wade one last kiss on the cheek before sauntering off.
Wade was all for being lazy, but now that he and Zoe were back on track he really wanted to keep it that way and even he could tell that at this very moment things were far from okay. He knew just who to talk to about this, a person who probably loved the idea of Zoe and Wade together even more than Zoe and Wade themselves, Lavon. Lucky for Wade he was headed for the large man's kitchen anyway so it really was just convenient.
Once Wade walked into the kitchen he was assaulted with the aroma of several different breakfast dishes combined together. He never did understand why Lavon cooked so much when he was the only one living here, with the exception of Zoe and Wade of course who were living on his land as well.
At the sound of the door opening Lavon snapped his head Wade's direction and smiled. "Hey Wade! You and Zoe up for some breakfast? I made plenty so you can just help yourself."
"That sounds great Lavon, but actually, Zoe isn't with me I was sorta' hoping that I could talk to you about something."
Lavon nodded. "Lavon Hayes is listening."
Wade smirked. "Great, so uh here's the thing. Zoe and I got into this fight last night and-."
Lavon cut him off shaking his head violently. "No, no, no, no, I don't want to hear it. You two just got back together and it needs to stay that way."
Wade continued. "And hopefully it will, but as I was saying Zoe and I got into a fight and I'm honestly not even sure what's wrong, so I went to see her this morning to make sure she was okay and she was acting like everything was perfectly fine."
Lavon arched an eyebrow. "So what's the problem?"
Wade threw his arms in the air exasperatedly. "It's not fine, it's so obviously not fine, and I can tell that she's really upset about something but she won't tell me what it is, and it's killing me!"
"Calm down, maybe she's just having some difficulties easing back into the relationship, I mean things didn't exactly end smoothly last time."
"So what are you saying? That she still doesn't trust me or something?"
Lavon shrugged. "It's a possibility, for your guys' sake I really hope not, but it's a possibility."
Wade scoffed. "Great, that's really just great. You know Lavon, I've done everything right since I made that stupid mistake, every single damn thing."
Lavon sighed. "Look Wade I'm not saying this to hurt you, but you need to stop playing victim. Yes you've changed and you've done a lot to make Zoe know this too, yes she ran off to New York last year and came back with a new boyfriend, but let's not forget what you've done."
"Lavon-."
Lavon cut him off. "Uh uh Lavon Hayes isn't finished, now swallow your damn pride and listen. Obviously there's the whole cheating thing but as you've said you've worked to be better, but then there's always you dating her cousin. Zoe tried her best to be supportive because she knew that you were happy even though it was killing her, now it sounds to me that she needs to talk it out because it's all just been bottled up for so long and needs out."
Wade scrubbed his hand over his face. '"I guess you might be right, we never really talked it out, with us everything is just so physical and quick so the second that we got back together we were back in the sack."
Lavon's face scrunched up in disgust. "Ok I think that's enough, I really don't need to hear about your guys' relations."
Neither Zoe nor Wade had ever been very good at talking about their feelings, especially the ones that actually needed to be expressed in order to save their relationship. This time though Wade was determined for that not to be true, they had to work this time.
When Zoe walked into the Rammer Jammer that afternoon he was determined to get to the bottom of it all and if he had to then he would corner her until he got her to tell him the damn truth.
The fact that when she walked in and walked to the farthest possible table from the bar did not go unnoticed by him, if she was hoping to avoid him all day then it was most certainly not her lucky day.
Wade sighed and cautiously began walking over to hr. "Hey Doc, you know there are some open spots at the bar and I'm sure that I could squeeze you in, especially since I own the bar." Wade added with a slight chuckle.
Zoe kept her head buried in her menu. "Oh no that's ok I like it back here."
Wade shrugged. "Ok well I'm due for a break now anyway, I can join ya'."
"No need I'm actually due at the practice I forgot that I have patients to see." Zoe said hurriedly.
Wade sighed and stood in front of her chair to block her from getting up. "Doc, please just talk to me. We got back together because we thought that we could handle it now and get through our obstacles, and that aint gonna happen if you don't talk to me when something's wrong."
Zoe smiled a weak smile. "I'm fine okay, I'm able to handle it on my own I just need some space."
Wade sighed dejectedly, knowing that he was fighting a losing battle. "Alright then, I'll see you tonight?"
Zoe nodded with the same weak smile donning her face. "Absolutely, I'll see you then." Zoe kissed his cheek lightly before she walked out of the Rammer Jammer.
The day couldn't have gotten over sooner for Wade, several girls had hit on him and he had to very politely yet firmly turn each of them down, then there were those constant critics who had a complaint about everything, but at last his day was over and he was headed home to most likely fight with his girlfriend.
Best case scenario was of course that she would just easily open up to him but he had a feeling that that was not going to happen, nothing was ever easy with her.
First thing he did was visit Zoe to go and get the fighting over with and hopefully end the night well. He eagerly knocked on the door and listened intently as her slow light footsteps approached. "Hey Wade, I thought that I was coming over to your house a little later."
"Look this just can't wait, I know that something is bothering you but I need to know what. Please Doc just tell me, I don't know if I did something or-or if it's something at work but you have to tell me." Wade said desperately.
Zoe began to smile the same unconvincing smile that she had been using for days. "There's nothing wrong-."
"Don't lie to me Doc." Wade said looking at her with an unwavering stare.
"I'm not over it." Zoe said softly in almost a whisper.
Wade arched an eyebrow. "Not over what exactly?"
Zoe shrugged half-heartedly and gestured for him to come inside.
Wade lightly gripped her shoulders so that she was facing him. "Zoe is this about what I did? When I you know cheated on you."
Zoe looked up so that she was looking him in the eye. "Wade listen to me, it's not that I don't trust you, it's not that at all, and it's definitely not that I haven't forgiven you because I did that a long time it's just that it really hurt me and I didn't realize just how much until you talked to me the other day about doing the battle of the bands this year and-."
Wade nodded understanding and finished her sentence. "And it scared you." Zoe nodded her confirmation. "Zoe I understand, I mean I guess we never really talked about it and last time I did it and lost I made the worst mistake of my life. Zoe you have to understand that I would never respond that way ever again, I mean I already own the bar so it's not like the money is what I'm after I'm just doing it to have fun."
Zoe shook her head. "No I know that, I'm not afraid that you'll do that again I just wanted to steer clear of you to make sure that I didn't put that kind of pressure on you again. I pushed you too far last time and I get that I just-." Zoe stopped mid-sentence as she let out a small sob.
Wade wrapped his arms around her. "Shh, it's okay Zoe it wasn't your fault you know that right?"
Another sob escaped from her body. "I'm the one who pushed you too hard, I should have just been supportive."
Wade let out a heavy sigh. "I really messed you up didn't I? Zoe you did nothing wrong, and it's time that we both move past this. That was over a year ago, we're both stronger now and starting over we can't constantly dwell over my stupid mistakes."
Zoe nodded and leaned farther into Wade's embrace. "You're right, I'm more than ready to move on from that, I thought that I already had but apparently not."
"Hey this isn't something that you need to do alone, I'm always here. I mean I know that I may not be the most ideal person to talk this particular problem out with, but I'm here."
Zoe smiled slightly. "You're the only person who I would trust to listen."
Wade grinned widely. "Well in that case, Doc is there any other unresolved issues that you'd like to hash out."
Zoe shrugged. "Well there's always the stuff with my parents but that's something for another day, in fact I'm more in the mood for an activity that I would rather not talk about my parents while doing." Zoe said with a suggestive arch of her eyebrow."
"I couldn't agree more Doc, why don't we carry this into the bedroom?" Wade asked with a smirk as he picked her up bridal style and she let out a surprised giggle.
"That sounds perfect."
A/N: I hope that you guys all liked it, I know that it took me a little while to post but hopefully you guys were still happy with it. I feel that Zoe and Wade have some unresolved issues that need talked out before they get back together so that's sort of what this was. Reviews are always very helpful and if you have any songs that you would like me to base these off of just let me know!
