Chapter Fifteen:

Zidane had finally taken Eiko home. . . at Garnet, his girlfriend's house. That sounded so funny to him. He closed his eyes, about to go to sleep. However, he bounced up when he heard the phone ring. Zidanes's hand slid over to the phone. As he put it up to his ear, he heard sniffling, sounding as if someone was crying. "Hello? Is anyone there?"

"Zidane?" A small voice whispered. It was Garnet. She sounded upset upon her first word, which made Zidane concerned.

"Garnet, what's wrong? Are you okay? What happened? Did you mom upset you?" He asked so many questions, trying to figure out the answer why she was so upset. He hated to hear that she was upset. It was not right. Even when they had drifted apart, he still cared about if she was okay. If she hurt, he hurt too. That was the way it was.

"Zidane, can you come pick me up. But not at my house. I want you to pick me up at the. . . bus stop," Garnet's voice was weak. She was obviously outside.

Zidane was in shock. Why did she want him to do this? What was going on? "Okay. But you have to tell me what's going on when I get there, okay?"

Garnet didn't say anything. Instead, she hung up the phone and left Zidane hanging.

Zidane cussed under his breath. He wanted to know so badly what was going on. She was outside. What happened with her and her mother. The two, of course, were never very close. But, what happened for her to call him that late and tell him to pick her up. That was a bit too weird. Without anymore delay, Zidane grabbed his shoes and grabbed his car keys. Then, he rushed out the door to get to the car. He knew his parents were not home yet. So, they probably would not be home for a while. Also, Leo and Mikoto finally came to a compromise. Leo promised to play a math game with her if Mikoto played an action game with him. So, they were occupied as well.

When Zidane reached the car, he was shivering, even with his jacket on. So, he was sure to turn the heater on. Next, he rushed to the bus stop as fast as he could, making sure that he got there before Garnet completely froze in an ice cube.

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Garnet shivered so harshly. She hoped that Zidane would bother with her, considering how late it was. In addition, he had recently taken out her cousin. So, that was kind of hard for Garnet to ask Zidane to pick her up. However, she was so relieved when she saw a car pull up next to the curb. It looked like Zidane's car and there was a person in the car that looked like Zidane. So, it was definitely Zidane. But, Zidane did not look the least bit mad. Instead, he looked just plain worried. Garnet smiled to herself, feeling comforted because of his care. It was a wonderful feeling knowing that someone cared for you.

"Garnet?" Zidane opened the door for her and rushed her into the car, not wanting her to freeze to death. "What is going on? Why are you out here?"

Garnet just stared down at her feet. She did not say anything. Then, she inhaled a deep breath. Letting it all out, she began, "Zidane, my mom and I, as you know aren't exactly on good terms. In fact, well. . . Zidane, can we just drive. I want to go somewhere. I want to go anywhere but back there."

Zidane looked at her. He did not want to mess things up with her and her mom. He just knew that the fight was about him. . . "Okay," he said. So, quietly, they began driving. Then, he turned on the radio. To his surprise, the song "Everytime" by Simple Plan was on. It had just started. So, he turned the radio up.

It was three AM when you woke me up
And we jumped in the car and drove as far as we could go
Just to get away
We talked about our lives
Until the sun came up
And now I'm thinking about
How I wish I could go back
Just for one more day
One more day with you

Zidane looked up at his girlfriend, Garnet, the one person that meant the world to him. He couldn't help but smile because she was just too beautiful. Then, he smiled even more when she looked back up at him and smiled. The two were both somehow upset. Zidane wished he could fix her sadness. However, he knew that he couldn't. He coulddn't fix her pain is she would not even tell him what was the matter. When he saw her earlier today, she was absolutely fine. However, now, she was acting weird. Now, Zidane concentrated on the road.

Everytime I see your face
Everytime you look my way
It's like it all falls into place
And everything feels right
Ever since you walked away
You left my life in disarray
All I want is one more day
All I need is one more day with you

Zidane's thoughts crowded his mind. He could not help but think about what his life would be like if he did not have Garnet to be with him 'It would probably be a mess,' Zidane thought. He did not really know what it would be like. However, he just knew that things would be completely different. Nothing would be the same. He would probably still be chasing any girl that crossed his path. Of course, he would have never settled down. If he did, it would have probably been with Bre. If he settled down with her, she still would not settle down with him. 'Wait! What am I thinking about? Why would I think about that? We are too young. They would never let the two kids get . .' .

When the car broke down
We just kept walkin along
Til we hit this town
There was nothing there at all
But that was all okay
We spent all our money on stupid things
But if I looked back now, I'd probably give it all away
Just for one more day
One more day with you

Garnet noticed Zidane looking as if he was thinking really intensely about something. Maybe she had troubled him. Maybe she shouldn't have troubled him with her problems. She was deeply concerned about Zidane. So, she wanted to try to calm him down. Garnet placed a hand on Zidane's leg. Then, she whipered, "I'm sorry." However, Zidane still did not look any more relaxed.

Everytime I see your face
Everytime you look my way
It's like it all falls into place
Everything feels right
Ever since you walked away
My life's been in disarray
All I need is one more day with you

Zidane's thoughts raced through his head. It was like they were going over a hundred miles per hour. He could not handle that much pressure. But, he loved her truly in his heart. He just knew it. Zidane had never cared for another girl in the same way.

Now I'm sittin here, like we used to do
I think about my life and how now there's nothing I wont do
Just for one more day
One more day with you

Time passed by so quickly and neither had said a word. It had been dead silence and no one was about to speak. Cars passed continually, leaving no trace when they passed them up, but a mere tire track that seemed to fade. Everything seemed so dead. Everybody was dead as they passed by in their cars. Zidane and Garnet had both blocked out all sound that was around them. If one spoke to the other, how could the other person know? Then, Zidane shook his head. He didn't want to be dead. It was too scary for him. . . He couldn't be like them. . . . without a feeling. . .

Everytime I see your face
Everytime you look my way
It's like it all falls into place
Everything feels right (Everything feels right)
Everytime I hear your name
Everytime I feel the same
It's like it all falls into place
Everything feels right

Zidane looked over at Garnet, away from the road. She was hanging on the edge of being just like those people. He didn't want her to become a life less being. He spoke to her, trying to wake her from the spell of silence, "Garnet. . ." However, suddenly, there was a clash of cars and Zidane's car rolled off the road. It all happened so fast. They were both numb with fright. Neither of them could move a single muscle.

One more day
Just one more day
It's all I need, just one more day with you

The two teens just sat in the car and they didn't move. What happened? Why did it happen? Zidane could feel his blood pounding as some bled from the back of his head. He could barely think. The things that he did think about just disappeared in a second, leaving him clueless. Then, as he looked over next to him, he remembered only one thing: His love. He could barely move. However, he moved enough to whisper three words. . . "I love you. . ." Then, he just fell asleep.
