Chapter 11 - Problems

"Okay… so… this is how it happened," Aly said. "Ya'll know that we were on Phil of the Future together, right?"

"Of course," Zack said. "I love that show!"

"Okay… well… you saw the finale, right?" she asked. Everyone nodded, waiting for her to continue. "Before the finale, we had already hooked up. We've been together ever since."

"So it didn't bother you to kiss each other on set, then, did it?" Maddie asked with a slightly joking tone.

"Not at all," Raviv said with a mischievous smile at Aly. She smiled and gave him another kiss.

Zack groaned. "Get a room!" he exclaimed. "Tell us the rest of the story!"

"Oh," Alyson laughed. "Right."

Zack and Cody rolled their eyes. Alyson and Raviv ignored them and continued.

"When did you stop filming the show?" Maddie asked.

"About four or five months ago," he said. "We haven't seen each other since then."

"Wow," Cody said, speaking up for the first time. "That's… so… sad!" he exclaimed. Zack glared at them.

"You baby!" he yelled.

"What?" he asked Zack, glaring at him back. He didn't reply, shook his head, and turned his attention back to the two.

"Yeah… we've missed each other a lot," Alyson said.

"They were like… connected at the hip," AJ said. "It was a little over the top."

Aly and Raviv laughed. "Yeah… but love is strong. We couldn't help it."

"Correction. Your love was strong. It was abnormal love. It was creepy," AJ said. Alyson laughed along with Raviv.

"That may be true," Raviv said. "But we really couldn't help it."

"I'm so glad you hooked up in real life!" Maddie squealed. "I was hoping it would happen!"

"Yeah. It's like Phil and Keely lives on," Cody said, grinning.

As much as Zack hated to admit it, he had to agree. "Y-y-yeah," he said. Everyone looked at him, wide-eyed and unbelievably. "What?" he said, somewhat angrily. Everyone nervously and scarily looked away.

"So… when did you come here, Raviv?" Maddie asked.

"I live here now," he replied.

"Where's here? At the Tipton?" Maddie asked.

"No, in Boston."

"Where in Boston?"

"I live a long way away from here."

"Then how did you find us?" Alyson asked.

"I looked up your concert dates on the internet, and I saw you had a huge concert here, so I figured you'd be checking in at the Tipton."

"You're so smart," Aly said sweetly. Raviv grinned and kissed her again. "I'm so glad you came to find us. I've missed you."

"Not as much as I've missed you," he said, turning her face towards his for another kiss. They kissed for a while until Zack interrupted.

"Sweet Jesus! Stop it! That's sickening!" he said, pretending to gag.

"Oh, shut it, Zack," Maddie said. "It's not sickening, it's adorable!"

"Yeah… sure…" he mumbled.

"She's right, Zack," AJ said. "You'd be doing the same thing if you were in love with a girl."

"If I could ever get one that would stay with me and love me for who I actually am," he said. AJ, Maddie, and Alyson looked at him curiously as he looked down at his feet, playing with a stray rock that was trapped under his foot.

"What are you talking about, Zack?" Alyson asked.

"Every girl I get in the palm of my hands slips through without me doing anything about it," he said. "It's depressing."

Alyson got up out of Raviv's lap and kneeled down in front of Zack so that her face was level with hers. Then she said:

"Zack, are you talking about me and Maddie?" she asked. He slowly nodded his head.

Aly let out a small laugh. He looked up at her, his eyebrows somewhat arched, as if to say, "Excuse me?"

"We're too old for you, Zack," she said. "You need to find a cute girl that you'll love your own age."

"But I can't!" he said, a small, slow tear running down his face. "It's like nobody loves me."

"That's not true!" Maddie said, coming up behind him, her hand resting on his back comfortingly. "What about Maxx? Why don't you ask her out?"

"I like her, but… remember what happened last time?" he asked Maddie, referring to the dinner/basketball incident.

"Well, that was ages ago. I'm sure she'll give you another chance," Maddie said.

"What if she doesn't?" he asked, looking up at Maddie.

"It's worth a shot!" she said, a broad smile crawling across her face. He smiled back at her.

She was right, he thought. He shouldn't have given up in the first place if he loved her so much. Suddenly he felt stupid. He really, really liked Maxx, and that kind of love deserved a second chance. The only hard part was to make her think of it the same way.

"What if she still thinks I'm a jerk?" he asked worriedly.

"Zack, you're worrying too much," AJ said. "Just relax. You know what me and Aly do before a show when we're really nervous?"

"What?" he asked anxiously.

"We pray," Alyson said, answering for her sister. "We pray like there's no tomorrow."

"Yeah, and it always works," AJ said. "God can help you through anything."

"I'll remember that," Zack said, smiling. "Thanks so much. I just want love like you two have," he said, pointing to Raviv and Aly.

"You could," he said. "But you know how ours happened?"

"How?"

"I asked ma girl out," he said jokingly. "And look where we are now."

Zack smiled at the two as they kissed again. "I never knew love could hurt this much."

"Oh, Zack… love sucks big time. It gets worse as you get older."

He groaned.

"Just ask her out and see what happens. The worst thing that could happen was that she would say no. If she does, we're all here for you," AJ said happily, putting her arms around Cody, Maddie, Alyson, and Raviv.

"Thanks, guys… I'm so glad I have good friends like you," he said. "I'd be lost if I didn't. Thank you."

"You're welcome," AJ said, speaking for everyone.

"Well I guess we should be heading back to the suite now," Cody said. "It's like 3 a.m., and we're not allowed to be out here right now."

"Yeah, I guess you're right," Alyson said. "Raviv, do you want to sleep over with us tonight?"

"Well, yeah, since I kinda have nowhere else to go," he mumbled. Maddie sighed. Another person to take her place.

"Great! It'll be awesome! You can sleep with me," Aly said. Raviv nodded his head with a huge grin plastered across his face.

"Behave tonight, you two," AJ said jokingly. Maddie laughed out loud.

Raviv and Aly rolled their eyes and followed everyone else inside, hand in hand.
