Maddie woke up from her slumber, stretching and a smile formed on her face as she remembered what happened last night. Today was the day of Cody and London's rehearsal dinner. Supposedly there was suppose to be a ton of food and over 100 of their closets friends there; well London's closets friends. It was rumored that Mr. Tipton would be there too, but no ones holding their breath, but Brandi was going to be there. London was amazed that her dad and Brandi stayed together this long, but she learned to accept her; she realized that she meant well.
Staring out at the rain, with a heavy heart
It's the end of the world in my mind
Then your voice pulls me back like a wake up call
I've been looking for the answer, somewhere
I couldn't see that it was right there
But now I know what I didn't know
Maddie checked the clock on the night table; it said 11 on the dot. She turned to her side and saw Zack in his old bed, which meant Maddie, was in Cody's old one. She slipped out of the bed and tried to stay as quiet as possible, but that didn't work. As she reached for the door knob, she felt someone grab her by her waist and pick her up, she screamed as they fell on the bed. Zack hopped on top of her and tickled her; she laughed moving her hands in the way of his so he couldn't tickle her anymore. He was really close to her so she leaned up to his lips and kissed them. It was short and sweet. Zack leaned down and kissed her again as she wrapped her arms around his neck as he held on to her waist. They continued this until someone opened the door "Mommy, Daddy are you…" Jason started as he came in, which caused them to pull apart except Zack fell backwards off the bed. Maddie turned to Zack on the floor "Are you okay?" she asked stiffening a laugh. He nodded and smiled, Maddie turned back to Jason in the doorway, "What were you saying?" She asked and Jason was still shocked at what he saw, but shook himself out of it "Uh Grandma wanted me to get you guys up," he said as Zack's head popped out from the other side of the bed.
Because you live, and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live girl, my world has twice as many stars in the sky
"Okay buddy tell her were awake," Zack said and Jason just nodded and shut the door. Maddie fell back on the bed and laid there with Zack's head right next to her. She turned to him and he had a smile on his face which caused her to laugh. "That was horrible," Maddie replied in between laughing and Zack began laughing too as he thought of the whole thing again. The laughing finally died down as Maddie stayed in the same spot she was in as before. Zack brushed a piece of blonde hair out of her face and began to stroke her cheek. He leaned down and kissed her with him still on the floor. Maddie began moving her hand up to his cheek and placed it there as they continued to kiss for a few minutes, being very careful of not being interrupted again.
It's all right I survived I'm alive again
Cuz of you made it through every storm
What is life what's the use if you're killing time
I'm so glad I found an angel, someone
Who was there when all my hopes fell
I wanna fly looking in your eyes
Maddie walked down to the lobby and saw someone she thought she'd never have to see again. He turned around and smiled "Maddie," he said walking over to her enveloping her into a hug. She was very confused as to why he was there and that's probably why she didn't pull away from him nor respond either. He pulled away from her "Aren't you glad to see me?" he asked and Maddie blinked "You broke up with me Steve, why are you here?" She asked wanting to know why the guy that broke up with her is back when everything was starting to fall into place. "Well I know what's like to have your ex come back in your life and than you question your feelings for your current spouse. So I came to apologize and give you another chance to be with me," he replied. Maddie had no idea what to say. The guy was extremely rich and he could support her and Jason for years and years, but Zack kept coming into her mind. "Maddie, will you take me back?" he asked rewording his question from before.
Because you live, and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live girl (you live) my world has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live, I live
Money means everything. It means support, shelter, food; it means life. Without it you have nothing. "Okay," she said quietly and Steve smiled at her "Great I'll see you at the rehearsal dinner than, I have to go to the gym okay?" He said giving her a kiss and slipped the ring back on her finger and gave her one last hug before disappearing out the entrance of the Tipton. She ran to the elevator and hit the button that said '23' on it.
Because you live, there's a reason why, I carry on when I lose the fight
I want to give what you've given me always
Because you live, and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help(when no one else can help)
Maddie walk through the hall and than suddenly felt someone grab her arm and before she knew it she was in the maid closet, against the wall. Someone was kissing her all the way down her neck; she knew who it was right away, but she knew she should tell him to stop, but it felt so good that she couldn't. She pulled him to her lips and that's when she knew for sure who it was; Zack. She pulled away and started to talk as Zack continued to kiss her neck. "Zack, please stop," she said as Zack continued to kiss her "Why?" he asked to her neck "Because if you don't stop I won't be able to stop either," she replied and Zack pulled away from her "What's wrong with that?" He asked, Maddie sighed looking down at the floor and than back up into his eyes "Steve came back and asked me to take him back and I did," she said fiddling with her fingers. Zack looked at her surprised and blinked a few times "What? Maddie I thought what we had was special, I mean last night this morning…." He said trailing off and Maddie pulled his face up to look up at her "It was special to me, but Steve has…..money," she said, saying the last part quietly.
Because you live girl, my world(my world) has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live, and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live girl,(cuz you live) my world has everything I need to survive
"Money? That's what it's about? God Maddie, I thought you loved me," Zack said frustrated as tears started to pile out of Maddie's eyes, "I do love you, but face it money is everything. Everyone needs it…I need it," she said as Zack calmed down. He tilted her face up to look at him, he pulled his hand up to her cheek and let his thumb wipe the tears away "Fine if that is what you really want. I'll be there for you as a friend and Jason's father, not as your 'lover'. But if something happens, no matter how late or early it is call me," he said looking her with sadness in his eyes. He could see she had sadness in hers as well, but he wasn't going to fight if this is what she really wants; to marry Steve. "That's all I ask," Maddie said to him and he nodded getting ready to open the door of the closet, but Maddie put her hand on his wrist. He turned to her wondering what else she wanted.
"Can I have one last kiss?" She asked with tears starting flow out of her eyes again and Zack nodded. He took his hand off the door knob and pulled her into one last passionate kiss that they wished could last forever. He pulled apart first and opened the door quickly and left, leaving Maddie there with tears flowing even more.
Because you live, I live
I live
On the other side of the door Zack was leaning against the wall with his head down. He ran his hand through his shaggy, blonde hair and lifted his head up with tears visible in his eyes. He finally shook it off and went to his mom's suite.
I know it's sad, but the drama will lead up to this and you'll see why I made her take him back. Please review and tell me what you think of this chapter. Weather you hate it or not, I can take critism.
