Robbyn went straight back home, running most of the way. She was breathless when she got there and had a bad stitch in her side, but she didn't care. She drank half a carton of milk from the fridge and dropped into a chair, forgetting she'd left the front door wide open.

"I'm an idiot." she told herself. "I'm an idiot for crashing the car, for getting involved with Zach and for thinking I could beat Stephanie."

She lay her head on the table and shut her eyes, regretting ever going to see Zach now. She hadn't helped matters at all, now he knew what she was like. Robbyn drifted off into her own thoughts and was snapped out of them by the door closing.

"Rob? What's up? Why aren't you in work? I went over there to see you, but Gina said you'd gone home."

Joe was now striding towards her and Robbyn didn't even care why he'd wanted to see her.

"I thought it would be a good idea to go talk to Zach. But it wasn't."

"What happened?"

She shrugged and Joe patted her on the arm.

"Look, Rob, you're my sister and I can't imagine why anyone in this world wouldn't love you."

"Because I'm not Stephanie."

"Fuck Stephanie."

"I think he did."

Robbyn sat up and ran a hand through her hair. "Sometimes I wish I'd never met him."

"Why?"

"Because I hate the way he makes me so unsure of how I feel about him."

"Maybe you should call Gina and do that girly thing with bitching and ice cream."

She shook her head. "No. I'll be alright. What did you want me for anyway?"

"To see if you'd ditch work to come see a movie with me. But I guess not. Want a drink?"

"I'm just going to lie down."

She left her coat draped over the kitchen chair and went to her room, throwing herself onto the bed from the doorway and pulling the covers around her. If she was in a fairytale she could sleep for a hundred years. Then again, if she was in a fairytale everything would work out fine. Princess didn't get involved with messes like this. But she wasn't a princess, far from it. She fell asleep and was woken by the sound of footsteps running up the stairs and Mrs. Moore shouting for Mr. Moore to turn down the television because Robbyn was asleep, which was ironic seeing as Mrs. Moore could of woken a dinosaur. The footsteps belonged to Joe, who was muttering to himself as he left the bathroom. For a few seconds she forgot why she was so upset, and when she remembered she groaned and rolled over. There was a sheet of paper attached to the back of the door in her mom' s handwriting. Gina had called about a hundred times according to the message. She was slightly disheartened that Zach hadn't called, but choose not to think about it and to go get something to eat. Mrs. Moore swooped down on Robbyn before she was even all the way down the stairs.

"Gina called." she said in a sing-song voice.

"I'll call her later."

"OK, dinner's on the table."

It was weird sitting down to a meal with her whole family, she was surprised Joe had even stayed, but figured he must of had a fight with his girlfriend Izzy. Robbyn had pulled her lasagne apart and was now messing with the remains. Nobody seemed to notice she wasn't eating and Robbyn didn't even hear the doorbell ring.

"Door Rob!"

"How many times do I have to tell you! Her name is Robbyn!"

She pushed past Joe in the small hall and stopped as soon as she saw Zach waiting outside.

"You ran off before." he said.

"I noticed that too." She replied stepping closer.

"About what you said before....."

"It was stupid and....."

"Don't you ever shut up?" Zach asked. "You know you're not the only person with something to say."

"Oh, alright."

She walked outside, closing the front door over behind her and leaning against the wall, just like Zach had done earlier that day.

"Why did you say all that?"

"Because it's true."

"To who?"

"Everyone. I'm not saying it's a bad thing...well, I suppose I am. "

"You know all those things you can't do don't matter. It's the things you can do."

"Such as?"

"Everything. You're an amazing person."

Robbyn rolled her eyes. "I'm no different from anyone else."

"You don't need to be." Zach told her. "Being you is good enough."

"Who for?"

"For me. I agree with what you said before. We could be more then friends, we could at least try."

Robbyn didn't move, or say anything for a couple of minuets. She just stared at Zach, unable to believe what he had just said and wondering about a million other things she shouldn't be.

"What did you want to tell me before?" she asked.

"That, I didn't know you where going to say the same thing, then run off." Zach said, with a laugh.

Ever since the crash, ever since Zach had saved her life, Robbyn hadn't been able to stop thinking about him. She'd spent hours thinking about him and worrying that they where always going to be just friends. There was no guarantee it was going to work out with him, there was nothing stopping everything falling apart tomorrow. But it was a start, and that was all she wanted.
