4. Love is the Movement
Marco is sitting in his room thinking about the last year of his life. How much he's changed, and everything he's been through. He still hasn't come out to his dad, but so many other things have happened. His boyfriend cheated on him, he kissed his best straight friend, and he went to Africa on an AIDS Awareness program after he was denied the right to give blood because he answered yes to having sex with another male. Now he was focusing on Dylan. Should he really have said only me or no me at all? After all he did love Dylan and knew that he loved him. He was just at University now and needed a little freedom. Marco decides to call Dylan. He dials Dylan's number, but hangs up after two rings.
"I'm such a chicken," Marco says out loud to himself as the phone rings. He looks at the caller id and it says Dylan. Marco breathes in deeply before answering the phone.
"Hey" Marco says trying to sound confident.
"Hey, Did you want something?" Dylan asks.
"OH yeah, um do you want to maybe hang out at the mall with me today?" Marco asks his confidence slipping away with every word.
"Yeah, of course. Do you need a ride?" Dylan says happily.
"Great, um sure." Marco says confidently again.
"How about 2 o'clock?" Dylan asks.
"Sure, I'll see you later." Marco says
"Yeah, see you later," Dylan says hanging up.
Marco becomes really happy and starts signing and dancing around his room. He picks out a totally hot outfit; tight dark blue jeans, a tight green, white, and black stripped polo shirt, and his XYZ trucker hat. Marco goes outside to wait for Dylan, they haven't actually talked since the night at the party when the broke up. Dylan pulls up and Marco walks over and gets into the car. Dylan smiles at him.
"You look great," Dylan says kissing Marco.
"Thanks so do you," Marco says after the kiss that he was shocked to receive but enjoyed all the same.
"Shall we go?" Dylan asks smiling.
"Yeah, I guess we shall." Marco says with a bit of a laugh.
SCENE CHANGE
Hazel is sitting on her front porch listening to her I-pod and reading her latest Cosmo Girl. She looks up, and screams. A tall guy with short dark hair, and brown eyes was standing there watching her. She throws her magazine across the porch and takes her headphones off. She stands up and hugs the guy with a huge smile on her face.
"What are you doing here?" Hazel asks excitedly.
"We just moved here. My dad got transferred here finally." The guy says smiling at Hazel and her excitement of seeing him.
"I've missed you so much, Zach." Hazel says hugging him again.
"I've missed you too, Haze," Zach says lightly kissing her.
They go inside Hazel's house holding hands.
"Mom, look who is here." Hazel says going into the kitchen where her mom was.
"Zach, I was wondering when you'd come over here," Mrs. Aden says smiling and going over to hug him.
"You knew he was coming?" Hazel asks.
"Yeah, but he wanted to surprise you." Mrs. Aden says smiling.
"Well it worked," Hazel says smiling.
Hazel shows Zach around the house. The go into her room and are sitting on the bed.
"Are you dating anyone?" Zach asks.
"No, I was just dumped earlier this week actually." Hazel says.
"Oh, sorry." Zach says.
"It's ok he's changed since last year's accident. What about you?" Hazel asks.
"Nope," Zach says smiling at Hazel.
"When do you start school?" Hazel asks.
"Monday, do you want to maybe show me around this place today?" Zach asks.
"Of course." Hazel says smiling.
"It's a date then?" Zach asks in a sort of shy way.
"I see some things never change." Hazel says laughing at Zach.
"Yeah well you haven't changed much either." Zach says smiling at her.
"I love you." Hazel whispers before kissing Zach passionately.
They are lying on Hazel's bed making out. Zach pulls away.
"I've got to get back to my house, they'll send a search party soon. Do you want to come with me and then we can go out after that?" Zach asks.
"Sure" Hazel says sitting up sad that they had to stop what they were doing.
SCENE CHANGE
Marco and Dylan are now walking into the mall. Dylan hesitates to hold Marco hand, but then goes for it. Marco grips Dylan's hand tightly and looks up at Dylan and smiles.
"I've missed you so much." Marco says smiling at Dylan.
"I've missed you too. I'm sorry for hurting you." Dylan says stopping and pulling Marco into a very passionate kiss.
They decide to go see a movie first. Paige is working and screams when she sees them holding hands. Alex looks at her like she's crazy, but laughs anyways. Marco and Dylan are both laughing at Paige as well.
"Its about time." Paige says smiling at them as they come to the counter.
"Oh shut up," Dylan says but smiles at her.
They make out throughout the entire movie. After the movie they are walking out.
"That was a waste of money." Dylan says to Marco.
"Really, we'd have more fun at my house and we wouldn't have to waste anymore money. Not to mention my parents aren't home." Marco says with a little bit of a pout to Dylan.
"Of course," Dylan says taking Marco's hand and gripping it tightly as to say I don't ever want to lose you again.
They go back to Marco's house and up to his room. They are making out to begin with; Dylan takes Marco's shirt off of him and begins to caress him with open-mouthed kisses all over his neck. Marco does the same to Dylan. Dylan then begins to lightly bite Marco's neck just enough to leave a little mark. Marco undoes Dylan's pants. Before too long they are both in just their boxers with the rest of their clothes randomly scattered around the room and about to take off the boxers when they hear Marco's parents enter the house downstairs. They both freeze at first.
"Shit," Marco says getting up and quickly grabbing his clothes to get dressed. Dylan does the same, and just as they pull their shirts on someone knocks on Marco's door.
"Marco, are you in there?" Mrs. Del Rossi calls from the other side of the door.
"Yeah," Marco says opening the door. Dylan is sitting on the bed trying to look like nothing was going on.
"Oh, Hello Dylan, it's been awhile since you were over." Mrs. Del Rossi says smiling at them.
"Yeah it has." Dylan says smiling back at her.
"We just wanted to make sure you were home." Mrs. Del Rossi says to Marco before shutting the door.
SCENE CHANGE
Hazel and Zach go everywhere they can think of going. It is now around 9 o'clock at night and they are back at Hazel's house.
"Well do you want to come in and watch a movie or something?" Hazel asks hopefully.
"Sure," Zach says smiling and kissing her lightly on the cheek, "I wouldn't pass up a chance to spend more time with you."
They go into the house and watch a movie. They both end up falling asleep on the couch. The next morning Hazel's parents walk downstairs and decide to wake them up.
"Crap, I can't believe we fell asleep." Zach says looking up at Mr. and Mrs. Aden.
"Its ok at least we know where you were." Mrs. Aden says and hands him the phone to call his parents.
Weird way to end that Chapter but I'm out of Zach/Hazel ideas…keep reading and thanks to all my spiffy fans! Review PLEASE!
