Disclaimer: I don't own Zac
Jackie laid on her side staring out the window. It had just started raining so she listened in the dark as the rain hit the glass. She turned her view towards her clock it was 3:30 in the morning and since 11:00 when she lied down in bed she couldn't get to sleep. She was heartbroken and crushed; she missed Zac and a lot.
She didn't even feel any sympathy for Steve after dumping him in front of the other people at the restaurant. In her head she rewound that whole night starting with her and Steve entering the restaurant and ending with Zac leaving her alone in his apartment. She didn't know how long he was going to be gone or if he would ever come back.
She felt dried up since she couldn't cry anymore and not like she had the effort anyways. She had only felt like this once in her life and that was when her first serious boyfriend back home had dumped her before he moved away to college and she had a feeling history was going to repeat itself. That whole week after she was dumped she lay in bed restless and tireless her mom even brought her food up to her in her room.
The rain was coming down harder making a sort of rhythmic sound against the apartment building making Jackie kind of doze off but she quickly awoke when she heard the slamming of a car door and then a few voices down below her window.
She didn't bother to get up and look to see who the hell was up at this time so she remained there soundless and motionless.
Zac walked down the dimly lighted hallway trying to see where he was going. He got in late so he was already exhausted and overwhelmed by what happened earlier with Jackie. He dropped his bags on the floor as he slowly made his way upstairs; he figured he would pick them up in the morning. He got to where he was headed and stopped in front of a door he had walked through before.
He raised his hand forming a fist about to knock when he stopped himself. What was he doing? He was being crazy to wake anybody up this early in the morning. He dropped his hand and sighed staring at the door but he spun around when he heard someone call up to him
"Hey kid you left something in the back" Zac looked down at the Taxi driver and nodded, it was horrible outside and he was already soaked so he knew it wouldn't make a difference in his appearance if he went out once more.
Jackie shot straight up in her bed trying to listen, she could have sworn she heard a voice outside her apartment and she had never at that moment felt so scared and alone in her life. She slowly got up and walked towards the window trying to see if anybody was outside but jumped back startled as a car alarm went off below in the parking lot.
Being the nosy person she was she was curious now as to who was waking her up even if she wasn't sleeping they were still disturbing her sulking period. She opened up her front door still in the clothes she wore out to dinner. The hallway smelled of baby powder and cologne for some weird reason and when she made her way down the stairs the smell of cologne grew stronger.
She heard the rain in all directions around her but she didn't care the rain always calmed her down for some reason so stepping out into it would make her feel better. She got outside feeling the breeze hit her and the rain came down like big heavy bullets soaking her hair and her shoulders.
The street lights were out so all she could see was an outline of somebody and then heard the closing of a car door. She jumped when she heard a beep and then watched as the car drove away splashing through a puddle sending a wave of water on to the street.
She could feel the rain dripping down her nose as she watched the figure walk up the stairs.
His hair was probably all over the place from the rain and so when he stopped at the top if the stairs all he could do was try and neaten it out "what are you doing?" He heard her ask as he looked up at her "I'm just going home" he said as she crossed her arms over her chest.
The rain had now soaked through every piece of clothing that she was wearing but she didn't feel cold or anything. Even in the dark she could see his muscles through his soaked shirt which made her melt inside. She watched as he stepped closer about to walk by her but she wasn't going to give up. "I thought you were leaving?" she asked
Just as he got his hand on the door he suddenly felt her hand grab on to his arm. Not wanting to deal with this all he spun around stepping down the stairs, he for some reason wanted coffee and there was a 24/7 Starbucks around the corner
Why he was trying to leave he didn't know because after all the reason he came back was for her.
"Zac will you just wait" Jackie said irritated but still hurt. She watched as he turned around now at the bottom of the stairs. The rain had lightened up but it didn't stop and Jackie started to feel the shiver as her inside's boiled with anger and frustration "why did you come back?" she asked maybe this time he'll answer she though.
Zac looked down at the puddle he was standing in not answering. "Was it because of me?" Jackie asked hoping to get an answer. Zac looked up shrugging "I don't know Jackie"
"What do you mean you don't know?" she was getting frustrated with his crap answers and now she just felt like she was wasting her time.
He felt the rain pick up now and heard the distant sound of thunder "If I say I came back to you are you just going to run away again" he said this calmer, he was trying to relax but he couldn't. He felt crazy because he just left a movie deal to make up with Jackie but by the looks of it she wasn't going to forgive him so easily.
Jackie took a deep breath shaking her head "I didn't mean too run…"
"Yeah but you did" he said cutting her off "and just as I was about to leave you change your mind and say you suddenly have feelings for me"
"I never changed my mind, my mind has always been made up" she said almost coldly as he just stared back "I mean what I said Zac and I'm not changing a word"
Jackie was being stubborn and she wasn't going to let this end. So when Zac started to walk away again she ran down the stairs jumping in front of him "you can't ignore this" she said pointing a finger at him.
Zac shoved his hands in his pockets feeling the rain now soak through his shoes. "I dumped my boyfriend for you and you left…I told you that I loved you and you still left" Jackie was talking quietly but even with the sound of the rain hitting the pavement he could hear her clearly. The words I love you hit him like a brick. He had realized what he had done and that's why he was back.
"Jackie I'm back now so can you just forgive me?" he said taking his hands out of his pocket "I'm back here because of you"
Jackie couldn't help but giggle "you really mean that?" she said her voice breaking.
Zac nodded feeling the rain drip down from his hair. He took her hand feeling that it was cold and watched as the rain dripped down her cheeks. He hesitated and all he could do was just look at her he felt like he couldn't move or even speak but he managed to get out "you're the only girl for me and you always will be"
Jackie could feel her face turn red but he probably didn't notice. He kissed the top of her head and then her forehead and then her lips. She didn't wait to kiss back this time as she wrapped her hands around his neck. He put one hand behind her head so this time she wouldn't back away and the other around her waist pulling her closer to him.
Jackie pulled away to take a breath as she wiped the hair out of his eyes "I love you" she said again before he kissed her again "I love you too" he whispered as she kissed him biting his lip teasing him now.
She squealed feeling her body being picked up off the ground making him laugh as he carried her inside and towards his apartment and trust me Jackie isn't the one to back down in any situation.
-End
