I'm Waiting For You

Summary: Maddie kept her promise and went to Zach's prom right before leaving for college- and ended up enjoying it more than she expected. What pain did both go through waiting for the other?

Ch. 1 The Prom that Started it All

(Zach's POV)

Spinning you across the floor

My hands holding you by the waist

Seeing that look in your eyes

Gives me strength and confidence

Taller than you now, baby

More manly, more grown up

Deeper voice that shows I'm mature

But I haven't outgrown you, love

Loved you since I met you

Love you now as well

Love your long blonde hair flowing down

Love your happy smile

God, Maddie, when did you decide

You'd treat me as your equal

God, Maddie, when did you change

You'd know I love you more

My heart gives me away

I think I make you nervous

Sorry, Maddie, I can't help it

I love you more than life

This is amazing night is nearly over

The "time of my life" 's death near at hand

Let time slow down for a second

God I beg of thee

How long have I waited for this moment

To finally hold you in my arms

I wish to sing to you, baby

The love song of my heart

The prom's closing up now

Time to bring you home

And never see you again, love

For college you are bound

Don't leave me hanging Maddie

You loved this night too, I know

Give me something to hold onto

While I wait for you


(Maddie's POV)

When did you get tall, Zach?

When did you get so strong?

When did your voice deepen?

And when a man you became?

I love this rush of feeling

You continuously give me

I love you, I admit it now

Those feelings I hid so well

Yes, I loved you when you were12

When 13, 14, and now 15

I can't believe it, Zach

I was 15, 16, 17, and now 18

Such a difference, yes it's odd

But it doesn't seem to matter

You were right, now I see

Now I see the light

Intimidated by you, yes

Scared of what I'm willing to do

Now that I love you

I love you, Zach

Yes, I love you, Zachary Dylan Marin

Love you more than life

Yet fear you more than death

And mortal strife

You control me, I'm all yours

You "Little Blonde Peoples"

Cody- no, just you

(As Estabon would say)

You're not little now, though

God, the night's almost over

This night of revelation

The night before I leave

Damn you, Harvard!

Damn my future!

I love you, Zach

And now I must leave

Let this night be bittersweet

More sweet than bitter, please

Love, Love, Love

You

Prom's over, you're taking me home

Take me to your home

I do not wish to leave you

Now that I love you


(Bold is Zach, Italics is Maddie)

We're almost at your house now

I don't want to leave you

When to my great surprise

Baby, you invite me inside

Just say it, just say it

We're sitting on the couch

Just say it, just say it

I open my mouth nervously

"Zach, I loved tonight" she says

My heart pounds openly

"And I love you"

My eyes widen then

"Maddie… I love you… I always have"

Zach's words make me swoon

I lean up and kiss him

Gently on the lips

She kissed me, she kissed me!

We're kissing on the couch

My body flies ahead of me

My heart tells me what to do

I'll miss you, Zach, my love

I'll miss you, Maddie, my love
