Chapter 21: Best or worst day

Disclaimer: Don't own Zilch

~~~~~Zack's P.O.V. ~~~~~

      I woke up at like 7:30 in the morning and I didn't have to be at work like 9:00 so I decided to get up and take a shower. At first when I got up I noticed Margaret was wearing her clothes, then again I knew she would be cuz I felt her leave last night but I knew she came back. I wish so bad that I could know what Zane had said to her cuz even though she never said anything to me I could tell just by looking into her eyes that he said something very hurtful. I don't even think it's a good idea to go to work today but hey who am I to be afraid of my own brother. When I got done taking a shower I came into the bedroom and saw that Margaret wasn't there I called out her name a couple of times but there was no answer.

      So I walked into the living room and there she was sitting on the couch looking out the window and tears streaming down her face, I went over to her and just held her both of us knew that today would be the best or worst day of our lives.

~~~~~9 AM Zane's mechanic shop~~~~~

      When Zack walked into the shop Zander and Tony were already working and Zane was in the office so Zack headed in.

~~~~~Zane's office~~~~~

Zack: Zane we need to talk.

Zane (most of his anger subsided): Alright have seat what do you wanna talk 'bout?

Zack: I think you already know the answer to that.

Zane (signing): Ya I do. Why Zack? Why?

Zack (confused): What do you mean 'why'?

Zane: Of all the women in this world why my sister? Do you want to hurt her all over again? (Not waiting for an answer) I was there you know the day after her mothers' funeral when you broke her heart. She cried and cried until she just couldn't take it anymore. She might have told you otherwise but you broke her heart and even though she had a boyfriend after you left her heart was always with you she could never love anyone the way she loves you. I want her to be with you but if you leave her I don't think she can take it. I mean she already lost her family: our mother and father and her biological father I just don't think she can take it but I want her to be happy.

Zack: Zane I had no idea I had that much of an impact on her but I love her and I will never leave her. I only left her that time cuz I was scared I mean Manticore never really had classes on love. But I promise I won't ever leave her I can't bare it if I lost her but I think if you don't accept our relationship she will leave me so she won't lose you.

Zane (a little stunned at the last part): Look I know you say that now but along the road something can happen and boom you're leaving her.

Zack: NO! Not if I have anything to say about it and look if you think I'm getting out of line or whatever you can beat the shit out of me or whatever. Cuz if you don't accept our relationship she will leave me and that's worse then dieing. So please, PLEASE be happy for us and except us. (His eyes pleading).

Zane: Alright I will be happy for you and accept your relationship but I swear Zack---

Zack: Ya, ya I know you don't have to worry about that. Thank you so much.

Zane (smiling): Ya no prob now get back to work we have a lot of things to do today.

Zack: You're the boss.

      With that he left and Zane smiled and went back to his work.

~~~~~Jampony~~~~~

      Margaret walked into Jampony lookin' for Max she went to the desk with the guy wearing a headset behind it and asked....

Margaret: Excuse me? Is Max 'round?

Normal: And who are you?

Margaret (annoyed and not in the mood): A friend. Now where is she?

Normal (yelling out): Have any of you bums seen your co-worker Max?

Original Cindy: Ya she's on a run (finally notices Margaret) oh hey.

Margaret: Hey...um can you please tell Max I was here to see her?

Original Cindy: Ya sure.

Margaret: K thanx. I guess I'll see you later bye.

Original Cindy: Bye.

~~~~~Margaret's P.O.V. ~~~~~

      I was riding on my bike debating the fact if I should go and talk to Zane now or later but then my cell started to ring and I pulled over and answered it. Zack was so happy cuz I could tell through his voice and I was wondering why he was so happy and then he told me. Apparently Zane had accepted our relationship and that he was happy for us and right there and then it took every ounce of me not to scream into Zack's ear. Eventually I did scream but that was after I told Zack that I loved him and hung up. I knew after that everything was going to be okay.
