A/N: I own nothing. Except for Hannah. Yay I'm going to see Joey's gig on Sunday.
Zack walked home alone after school to avoid Hannah. When he got home he was greeted with a surprise. His parents had decided to have a house- warming party or something like that. They had been making friends in the neighborhood all day long. There were seven other kids there his age. He didn't really get along with any of them. He snuck upstairs into his room and started playing his beloved Gibson Flying V.
Zack had just started playing the opening chords to a newer mainstream song, 'Love Song' by 311, when the doorbell rang.
"Oh perfect. More people to avoid," he thought to himself as he started over. Then there were footsteps on the stairs, "I hope nobody comes in," he added on in his mind.
As the door opened he didn't really take notice since he was so entranced in the song. He didn't look up until he heard the lyrics coming from the doorway. He smiled up at Hannah as she sat down next to him on his bed and continued to sing along to his playing...
"Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again
However far away,
I will always love you
However long I stay,
I will always love you
Whatever words I say,
I will always love you
I will always love you
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again
However far away,
I will always love you
However long I stay,
I will always love you
Whatever words I say,
I will always love you
I will always love you"
During the last chorus Zack joined in with her. They stared into each others eyes once the song had ended. Before Zack knew what he was doing he said, "I will always love you," and with that he kissed her on the lips. She returned the favor and Zack pulled away out of surprise.(A/N: I know very "original".)
"I'm sorry," he whispered and looked away, astonished at what he had just done.
"For what?" she asked a little hurt that he had pulled away.
"For doing that. I had no right," he spoke in little more than a whisper.
"But I kissed you back. Zack don't be sorry. I really like you Zack," she contradicted, He finally looked at her when she said that she liked him.
"Atleast I have one friend," he joked.
"Zack, I didn't mean I like you as a friend..." she spoke with a bit of amusement in her voice.
Zack's eyes widened in amazement. But nothing prepared him for what was about to happen. "Hannah, I meant it when I said that I will always love you. That song was for you...." He was cut short when Hannah pulled him to her and kissed him passionately.
