His lips gradually were off mine, and I just stood into Zack's eyes. Unable of response, I just chattered my teeth very silently. "I gotta go study for f...finals. Bye Zzzack." I stuttered as my teeth still chattered. I exited the suite, but he didn't stop me, he just stared at me as I left, feeling guilty. I took the first elevator down. and sighed deeply as I pondered in the capacious elevator. Did he REALLY just kiss me? Or is my mind playing games? Well if they are, I'm getting so bored with these "games". I felt it though, so it MUST of happened...

Ding.

My thoughts were interrupted by the elevator opening, and I quietly returned to the candy counter and got my stuff. I had my backpack on my shoulders and ready to go through the revolving door when Mr. Moesby stopped me.

"Where do you think you are going Madeline?" he curiously asked me. "Your shift doesn't end for 40 more minutes."

"I need to go home, I don't feel well." I partially told him the truth, since my brain was overwhelmed. "Just deduct it from my pay."

"Okay. Good night Maddie! Oh, I almost forgot," he said, not sure what he was talking about.

"You had a letter! I was looking for you, but you "didn't feel well." He mimicked, then gave me the letter as I was beginning to develop a headache. I pushed the revolving door as hard as I could, then walked to the staff parking lot. I entered my beaten up used car, which looked like it was about to die anyday. I took my hair out of my long, blonde ponytail, and it flowed down to my shoulders. As I had my hair undone in the front seat of my car, I started to think about everything that happened today. First the movies, the guitar, then the kiss. Why did he kiss me? As I pondered deeper into this situation, I wondered if I enjoyed it or not. I guess it felt really awkward, but my lips sparked up like fireworks when he kissed me. Did I enjoy it? I continued thinking about this, but then all of a sudden, I felt a sharp pain in my lower chest. I felt like I couldn't breathe, like something didn't want me to live anymore. I tried to look around to see what was happening, but my vision looked a little blurry. I heard cars honking and beeping, but then all I could see was darkness.

I woke up in a white, crisp-smelling room, and I could see beautiful flower arrangements on table. This isn't my room, where am I? Am I dreaming? I saw Zack walk in, eating a cup of frozen yogurt.

"Maddie?" he whispered in his breath, like he wasn't sure if he should of said it of not. "Mrs. Fitzpatrick! Look!" he practically screamed, and I saw my mom run in to the room.

"What is it Zack?" She asked, and then she saw me in utter confusion. She gaped in awe, but then came over to hug me. "Thank heavens your alright."

"Alright? What happened to me? Where am I?" I questioned my mother, then looking over my body, seeing bandages and gauzes all over my left leg.

"You were in a car accident." She hesitated. "You served off the road, and you got flung out on the dashboard and broke the glass. If you weren't wearing your seat belt, you would probably be dead. But luckily, but just cut up your leg pretty badly, and you're going to be in crutches for a while." She finished, and I was in total shock.

"So I'm in the hospital..." I concluded her story. "How long have I been in here?"

"You were in a coma for 42 hours. Your going to have to miss a couple days of school though, hon."

"But...I HAVE FINALS!!!!" I squealed anxiously, feeling like my hopes and dreams were stepped on.

"It's only a couple days, and don't worry, finals don't start until Thursday, and you'll be back at school by Wednesday."

"If it's for my own good, I guess so," I sighed, and sank into my pillow.

"We were all worried about you Maddie, especially Zack." She gestured him to me, and he walked up to my hospial bed, and fidgited with his fingers, not knowing what to say.

"Uh Mom, can me and Zack be alone? We need to talk privately." I commanded my mom, but still being suddle.

"Sure thing, honey." She warmly said, and walked out of the room.

"You got a lot of flowers today. Tons of people came over; Esteban, Mr. Moesby, London, Cody, Mom, and I, even..." he paused for a moment, with a grimace on his face. "Jordan."

"Jordan?' I said with shock. I looked around my gift table, and in plain sight, I saw a teddy bear that said "Jordan loves Maddie" on the stomach. "Ugh, I need to talk to him, so he'll stop bothering me once and for all."

"By the way, the ambulence said you had this in your car..." Zack handed me an envelope, and I glanced over it, and it was addressed to me by Yale. "You probably want to open it." He obviously pointed out, but I didn't care. I opened the letter rapidly, and pulled out the letter.

Dear Madeline Fitzpatrick,

We are pleased to tell you that Yale University

has indeed accepted you as a student to attend

the next school year's courses. We hope to see

you come and attend our wonderful university!

The Dean Of Advisory

"I..got into Yale!" I shouted, probably waking up the other patients.

"That's great!" he said, probably not knowing Yale was all the way in Conneticut. "Maddie, I have a question..." Zack continued, changing the subject.

"What is it, Zack?" I asked, knowing exactly what he was going to say.

"Did you crash the car...because you were mad I kissed you?" Zack asked, tears welding up in his eyes. Oh crap, what do I do? That was the reason, but I can't make a 15 year old boy feel miserable.

"Of course not. Finals just got me really stressed, and I wasn't concentrating." I lied, but he didn't seem to know.

"Okay. Are we still friends though?" he said with sorrow.

"We will always be friends. No matter what." I told him, and he smiled.

"No matter what." He repeated, and we stared into each other's eyes.

A/n: WHOA! SUSPENSE! LOL. Sorry the ending was kinda fluffy, I had to throw in some Zaddie somewhere in the chapter. LOL. Please review!
