Ava's and Maria's birthday passed in February with a joint birthday party at the Valenti-Deluca home. The guys teased Ava about robbing the cradle with Kyle because his birthday wasn't until April of this year.
"Whatever you guys say, I love the young ones", said Ava kissing Kyle. "I love the older ladies my friends", said Kyle as they were all sitting around Maria's house after the party that the whole school was invited to.
"You had fun?", asked Maria teasingly to her best-friend Liz. They all knew that Liz and Max had a quickie. "I can't believe you guys, you are worse then Zan and Serena over there", said Isabel rolling her eyes.
"Hey", said Serena and Zan at the same time looking offender.
"Don't lie you know it's true", said Ava laughing at them.
"Whatever, at least we didn't have a quickie", said Zan looking at his brother who was so interested in Liz that he didn't hear the comment.
"What huh?", asked Max finally when he saw everyone staring at him. Everyone laughd at Max's dazed look. "That party was awesome, thanks you guys", said Maria sitting on Michael's lap.
"No problem, it was fun, I can't believe the whole school showed up like this, it was the party of the century", said Alex.
"Yup it was, but May is going to be even bigger, because aren't the rest of your birthdays then", asked Serena sipping her coke.
"Yup, I had chose May 1st, when Kal had asked me", said Zan.
"Why was that?", asked Serena.
"I like the would, and Kal said it was spring, hapy times and what not", said Zan. Serena smiled at him.
"Mine is May 6th, but before it's Kyle on April 29th, then after me is Max on the 4th, Isabel why did you choose a different date for your birthday?", asked Liz.
"I like June, I don't know why", said Isabel.
"Mine is in June too it's the 2nd and Izzy's the 5th", said Alex.
"I'm the youngest it sucks", said Serena.
Zan just pulled her into his lap kissing her slowly.
"Man do we have to look at you making out all the time, it's hard enough with those two over there", said Kyle pointing to Max and Liz who was once again lost in each.
"Shut up Kyle", said Serena kissing Zan. Kyle rolled his eyes and kissed Ava too.
"If you can't beat them join them", said Maria kissing Michael.
"Hey you guys you can do this at home, we have to clean up", said Isabel getting up to get a trash bag.
Everyone nodded their heads and got to work. "This party was fun though, the whole school showed up and had a great time", said Maria after they had finish cleaning up.
"Yup it was fun, your band played great Alex", said Zan.
He had got up and did a very rounds with them too on the guitar that Serena gave him for Christmas.
"You too, the girls I believe wanted to throw their underwear at you", said Alex laughing.
"I know they love Zan", said Kyle smirking.
"They sigh when he walks into the room, they love all the Evan's actually, Isabel, and Max too", said Maria.
Max, Zan, and Isabel were red in the face. "It's true", said Serena smiling at her man blushing.
"Models, you should have been models", said Ava who was resting comfortably on Kyle's chest.
"I remember first meeting you and Ava, man I fell big time, I had the biggest crush on you, my mother had to shake me because I know I was staring", said Serena laughing.
Zan blushed at this. He only blushed, everyone noticed, when it had anything to do with Serena.
"I did to I even remember what you were wearing it was a t-shirt that said, "I'll knock you over you feet"", said Zan laughing.
"I remember you saw me and hugged me, I was surprised but it felt right, you have been my friend ever since", said Ava remembering that day as well.
It was the first time she felt like she had a family. "Yeah I remember I also remember the day that Serena gave me my first kiss", said Zan smirking.
"I thought you kissed Ava first", said Serena. "No that would be you", said Zan smiling.
"Man that was the best day of my life", said Zan looking at her.
Serena blushed.
"It was embarrassing", said Serena.
"I want to hear this", said Liz getting more comfortable on Max's lap who was stroking her still flat belly. She knew he was connecting to their son.
"Well", said Zan laughing.
"Zan", warned Serena. "Come on they family they have seen you at your worst", said Zan.
"No they haven't", mumbled Serena but they all heard her.
"What do you mean?", asked Michael looking at his sister.
"Man, umm I just had a hard time for a little bit back in the past nothing it's over now", said Serena.
"No tell us, we want to know", said Alex.
The girls knew about it because she confided in them.
"Yeah Serena we family you can tell us anything", said Max looking into her violet eyes.
"Umm why do you girls look like you already know", said Kyle.
"They do know", said Serena looking at the boy side of their little group.
Zan looked at her with concern.
"Umm look it was a long time ago, I just had a problem with alcohol and drugs", said Serena shocking the boys.
"I thought we couldn't handle alcohol?", asked Max.
"You can't, I can, I'm alien just not like you", said Serena.
"Look I was depressed about a lot of things I was hanging with the wrong crowd, I met a guy that took my problems away, he wasn't really like a boyfriend or anything but he was an escape, I mean I thought I lost Zan, my dad was not there, neither was my mom, I just could handle it, so I drank", said Serena looking ashamed for her actions.
"No one noticed my mom didn't so I kept drinking", siad Serena hanging her head down in shame.
Zan looked at the woman sitting nxt to him and he felt his heart break. He tilted her head up and kissed her softly.
"I'm so ashamed", said Serena crying soflty.
SHe had gone off the deep end. She felt Zna leave her she didn't need Ava to tell her that he had died. She was already drinking badly by the time Ava came back into her life. Max looked at Serena, a woman who was so strong, but she had weakness and Zan was one of her biggest one. Ironically he was her strength as well.
"Serena it's alright, you fixed it apparently", siad Kyle.
Michael just stared. Serena has never looked so broken before. He knew it, the drinking started when she had to leave Zan, he never knew the extent of her feelings for Zan until this very moment.
"Mom did, she got me under control, I came home wasted on night and she was wating up for me, she told me that she got me a therapist and that she couldn't see me like this anymore", siad Serena.
"I didn't think she notices, but appearently her and Ava talked about it and decided the best way to help me", said Serena looking around the room.
Isabel gave her a smile and Ava nodded her head in understanding.
Max looked at her and cracked a smile, "Well if my first time with alcohol didn't make me stay away from it that stroy did", siad Max.
Serena cracked a smile and began laughing. Max's jokes were always so corny.
"Whatever Max", said Serena rolling her eyes at him.
"Hey we still didn't hear about this kiss that got Serena blushing", siad Liz.
She knew she had to change the subject. She knew how Serena felt sometimes, she knew if Max had died drinking would not solve anything but it probably would have been the first thing she ran too also.
"Umm you know Serena is always in heat", said Zan smirking.
"I'm not always in heat don't lie", siad Serena smaking his arm.
Kyle laughed at them. He would make sure that he and Serena spent more time together. he remembered that they were close in the other timeline at last that is what Serena showed him when they were in that dream thing.
"Well you were that day", sad Zan smirking at her blushing face.
God he could never get tired of that face. It was everything.
"WEll Serena and I were in her mom's house like we always were it seemed, the rest of them was upstairs while we were watching cartoons. Anyway she kept moving back and forth, making noise, I was such a jerk back then that I yelled at her for moving around so much", said Zan.
"Yeah I remeber, you yelled at me while I was trying to control myself around you", said Serena smiling at him.
He was so adorable sometimes.
"Yeah next thing I know she had me pinnned to the couch over me and kissing me like there was no tommorrow. I was in a word shocked you know, I couldn't believe it", said Zan.
His mind started to wonder to that day four years ago.
Flashback:
"Stop moving around, god", yelled Zan.
He didn't know why he yelled at her. He guessed it was like a defence mechnism in a sense, it helped him forget that she was the most beautiful girl in the whole world. God she was pretty. Serena looked at him and frowned.
"Sorry but I I", siad Serena not finishing her thought.
She was staring at him instead. God he was sexy. She wanted him. Her father had warned her that this biological trigger thing was going to come when she turned 13 which was last week. She couldn't handle him being angry at her and she was so horny now, so she did something that she never thought she would. She pushed him back on the coach and straddled his waist kissing him on the mouth. It was her first kiss but she was sure it wasn't his. He was with Ava at least that was what Ava told her. He was shocked she could tell but she couldn't stop. She needed him badly. She rubbed against him making him moan. He pulled her closer to his body making her gasp. He was aroused. SHe knew because she read about this before. It still surprised her though. She pulled back and looked at his read lips that were abused from her kiss. Zan looked at her and kissed her softy this time. Serena sighed into his mouth. Zan hugged her close to his body and looked into his eyes after they stop kissing. Serena was still feeling the affects of the trigger when she gasped. WHat had she done. This was the love of Ava's life and she kissed him.
"God Zan, Ava god what did I do to her", siad Serena moving away from him.
Zan looked at her and asked, "Do you regret it".
Serena looked at him once again and smiled and said, "No I don't, but Ava is your girlfriend and she is my friend I can't do this to her", siad Serena pacing back and forth in front of Zan.
He found it amusing really. She was waving her hand up and down and talking to herself. He smiled at her and said something that would shock her.
"I love you", siad Zan softly.
He didn't think she heard him but her pacing stopped and she looked at him. Her eyes piercing his. He looked into her violet eyes and he knew he would always love her.
"What did you say?", asked Serena.
"I love you", said Zan looking at her again.
He was waiting for her rejection. She always was angry with him. But she did something that shocked him this time. Serena walked up to him and kissed him softly. SHe pulled back and looked him the face.
"I love you too", said Serena softly.
Zan's eyes widen at that statement. He pulled her towards him and kissed her with a passion that he didn't know existed in him. Zna smiled at her. But frowned when he saw tears in her eyes.
"What's wrong Rena", asked Zan brushing her hair back from her face.
"Ava I can't hurt her like this Zan", siad Serena.
"I don't love Ava I never have, I love you, can we be together", said Zan pleadingly.
SHe didn't answer but instead kissed him.
End Flashback.
They were back to school adn everyone was talking about thier party that happened the during the weekend.
"Hey Alex your textbook for MAth is in my locker", siad Ava passing him his book.
"Thanks your a gem", siad Alex kissing her forehead.
Ava had so many people's books in her locker including hers. She knew the combo to all of thier locerks. She kept the math boks becasue her locker was closer to thier math class. Everyone had assigned books to hold in thier lockers. Zan walked over to Ava's locker and puled out his math book while handing her, her English book.
" Thanks I got English next, wish me luck that class is kicking my ass", siad Ava rolling her eyes.
Zan laughed and siad, "I know being a New Yorker and having bad grammer doesn't help me at all", said Zan walking in the opposite direction toward his Math class that he had with Alex, Serena, Liz, and Max.
He didn't get to see Serena this monring. he walked in and saw her and smiled. He also noticed his brother sitting with Liz and Alex and went ot sit behind them next to Serena.
"Hey baby", said Zan.
Serena gave him a coy smile.
"Hey baby how was your day so far?", asked Serena.
"You know how my day was putting your thong in my bookbag is not cool Serena", said Zan smiling at her.
He was shocked and aroused really when he saw them.
"That means one thing", siad Serena with her eyes twickling.
Zan looked at her confused. Serena pulled her chair closer to the desk and made him do the same. he was still confused until she took his hand and made it go under her dress that reached just above her knees. He gasped out loud. She wasn't wearing any underwear.
"God Serena", said Zan moaning.
Liz turned around at that and her and Serena shared a smile. They had decided together that they would tease Max and Zan. Both brothers were sporting large hard ons.
"You two planned this didn't you?", asked MAx looking at th smirking girls.
"Whatever do you mean", siad Liz innocently.
Max narrowed his eyes at Liz and smirked. He looked at Zan.
"WE are lucky huh two of the sexiest girls in the word, but they are huge teases", siad Max. "I know it's not right", siad Zan.
Serena just laughed at both boys.
"You guys are adorable when your horny", said Serena softly making sure no one hard their conversations. Alex was pretending like he wasn't listening but he was laughing at the boys.
"Whitman you think this is funny?", asked Zan narrowing his eyes at his brother-in-law.
Alex just put his head down but you could tell he was laughing by the shacking of his shoulders. While they wre laughing the teacher walked in and began his lesson plans.
"Man that was alot of homework", siad Zan opening Ava's locker and putitng thier Math textbooks in their.
Paulie walked by and said, "Hey Serena" looking at her body in her light blue dress.
"Hey", siad Serena polietly.
She knew that Paulie had a crush on her but she saw him as harmless. Zna growled next to her puling her closer to his body. Serena rolled her eyes at Zan's antics.
"Zan how many times do I have to tell you, that you have nothing to worry about", siad Serena.
"I know I just don't like him trying to hit on you he knows your my girl", said Zan looking at Paulie flirting with Pam Troy and crew.
Pam looked over at Serena and stared. She was still jealous of Serena. Pam looked once more at Zan and groaned. SHe wanted him badly. He was just sexy. Max was sexy too but Zan had this thing about him that couldn't be explained.
"I know you like Zan and I want Serena, so what do you say Pam help me get my girl and i will help you get your man", siad Paulie cutting into her thoughts.
Pam looked at him and said, "I don't think so I tried that already and it was bad then, I'm not going there" who was still looking at Serena and Zan laughing at something.
He was sexy and she wanted him but she wasn't going to go there, but she wouldn't stop Paulie in whatever he was going to do, maybe Zan would be with her when Serena wasn't around anymore.
