Vivian was sitting on Wade's porch waiting for him to return. Harley was with Brando for the night. She had to know where Wade stood with Zoe. She knew they were friends but she had to know if he loved her. She had plenty of time to think about it. She was slowly falling for Wade but she didn't love him, yet. Falling in love after a divorce wasn't easy to do. Vivian hated to open her heart up to anyone but there was something different but yet refreshing about Wade. Part of her hoped that Wade didn't feel the same about Zoe but after witnessing them together at the Rammer Jammer Wade still had feelings for Zoe. She just wasn't sure how deep they went.

"What are you doing here, Vivian?" Wade asked seeing his girlfriend on the porch. He hadn't expected her to be waiting for him. He walked up to her giving her a kiss. "I'm happy just shocked," He clarified.

"I had an interesting talk with Zoe today. I know where she stands when it comes to you and I know she wont do anything to ruin what we have. But, Wade," Vivian sighed. She wasn't sure she really wanted to know the answer to any of her questions. She was afraid she already knew the answer. And it wasn't going to be good for her. "I need to know where you stand. Are you just friends with her? Do you love her? Are you in love with her?" Wade sighed rubbing his face. "Where does all of this leave us?"

"Friends? Yeah. Do I love her? I think I do. Am I in love with the Doc?" He was mostly asking the questions to himself. He wasn't sure if he was still in love with Zoe Hart. He cared deeply for her. He was happy with Vivian, everything was going good. He was supposed to be over Zoe a long time ago. But he really wasn't. He really didn't think he would be anytime soon either. It wasn't fair to Vivian. "I probably am. I'm sorry Vivian. I do enjoy our time together. It was special to me and I wont forget it. But my heart isn't in it. I don't think it really ever was, no matter how many times I tried to convince myself otherwise."

"I can't be mad at you or Zoe for this. I can't stop you from loving her. You loved her longer then we've been together. I've enjoyed our time together too, Wade. You've shown me that I can open my heart to the possibility of love again. Good-bye, Wade." Vivian kissed his cheek. Walking away now was for the best. She could have stayed and fought for Wade's love. She just didn't see the point. She didn't have a chance in winning his heart because Zoe already had it. It was a losing battle for her no matter how she looked at it. She found it easier to walk away now before she got any deeper with Wade.

"Bye Vivian. Make sure Harley doesn't celebrate too much when you tell him the news," Wade told her walking to his door. Vivian nodded with a laugh and left without saying another word. Wade walked to his fridge getting a beer out. He felt numb to the world. What had he expected? He couldn't have both of them. He loved Zoe more than in a friend way. He could honestly say that Zoe Hart was his first love. Vivian was special to him, he could have loved her one day if not sooner. But the question remained the same. He was in love with Doctor Hart and he could never be in love with Vivian. It was no secret that he was hurt and jealous when Zoe showed up with Joel. He was hurt over the letter saying she wasn't coming back but that was nothing compared to the hurt he felt seeing a new guy on her arm. She was all sorts of crazy but he couldn't refuse the love that coursed through his veins for her. He finished his beer and headed to bed. He was tired of thinking about love. He had to figure something out. Pushing all thoughts of Zoe and Vivian to the back of his mind sleep was easy to succumb too.

Wade walked through the door of Lavon's seeing Lavon sitting at the counter eating breakfast. Wade had thought that Zoe would have been there with him. He was relieved to see that Zoe wasn't there. He needed to talk to Lavon about Zoe.

"Morning, Lavon," Wade said getting a plate of food for himself. "Where's the doc?" Wade asked talking a seat at the counter.

"Morning, Wade," Lavon grumbled. "Out with her mother. Something about spending the day with her," Lavon replied. "Why do you care?"

"It's hard to explain. But Vivian broke up with me last night because she found out that Zoe still has the hots for me." Lavon chuckled shaking his head. IT didn't help that Wade had a smirk on his face.

"You're telling me that Vivian was insecure about Zoe's feelings towards you? Or is there more?"

"She was waiting for me last night. I couldn't lie about my feelings. I had to tell her the truth."

"What is the truth, Wade?" Lavon asked seeming more interested in Wade's life then in his food for the time being.

"I never stopped loving Zoe. She hurt me badly. I can forgive her because she has forgiven me for cheating." He didn't mean it the way it sounded. He wasn't just going to forgive Zoe because she had forgave him. He forgave her because he couldn't stay mad at her over something so childish. He was hurt because of it but hurt was only an emotion that could be replaced by happiness and that's what Zoe gave him. "But I really think that neither one of us has really got over that. I hurt her, she hurt me back out of spite. I think we can finally move past all of this and start over." Wade found it was easy to pour his heart out to Lavon. He needed to tell Zoe all of this, but he found that was a lot harder said then done.

"Wade it does you no good laying all this on the table with only me here. I'm not the one you're trying to win back. I'm all for you and Zoe to be together again but Wade, you need to figure out what it is you really want. Don't think about you cheating on her or about her sending a stupid e-mail about not coming back here. Or even about her showing up with Joel. Can you honestly start over with Zoe without any of that coming into play in the future?" Lavon asked leaving Wade to his thoughts. Wade sighed. Could he do that? Trust was going to be a huge step in being together, could Zoe fully trust him or was she only going to say it and still have doubts about his loyalties. He could move past the hurt they both had caused. But did Zoe want to start over with him?

Now that Wade and Vivian have broken up here, I wanna make it clear that it's going to be a few chapters before anything happens between Wade and Zoe. I don't wanna ruin what I have going here only to rush to get them back together. Good things come to those who wait! Or so they say! Thank you to everyone that has taken an interest in this story. I really do enjoy reading what everyone has to say.
