Maddie POV.
I can't believe this is happening. I have no idea who did this and when I find out I'm gonna kill them. I know I'm not the only one here for Zack; Carey, London, Cody, Mr. Moseby, and Heather. There is just something about that girl that rubs me the wrong way, but I'm not going to say a thing. Maybe I'm just jealous, yes I'll admit I'm JEALOUS! I'm just so frustrated that we've been waiting here for the last half hour and still nothing. Plus I'm covered in Zack's blood, oh great now I'm crying again. I mean I couldn't imagine what Jason's feeling; he just met Zack and it will be horrible if Zack dies. God damn it why do I always have to be so negative?
I got up and walked off in a different direction and sat down in a chair and let all my tears pour out as they may. I heard someone come past me and sit in the chair next to me. I looked up to see Heather. I wiped away my tears and looked at her. "What do want?" I asked angrily. She looked at me as if she was concerned. "Well I saw you walk off and I was worried about you," she said. What the hell! I barely know the girl, in fact we never said two words to each other.
"Why? I barely know you and you barely know me." I said and I heard her sigh. "I know, but I'd like to get to know the girl Zack never stops talking about," she said and I looked up at her and she had a hopeful smile plastered on her face "He talks about me to you? His girlfirend?" I asked, I mean why would he talk about me to his girlfriend. My thoughts were interuptted by her laughing. I looked at her confused and she must have seen that.
"I'm not his girlfriend, I love him but not like that, more like a brother than anything. Is that the reason why you've hated me?" She asked. Now I feel bad because I thought those things about her and she's just a friend of his. "You know I met him three years ago. He was in a very...how'd you say vulnerable state. Drinking, doing drugs, getting into fights, things like that. I helped rechannel his stress by exercising, it really works. He told me why he started to go on the path he did; it was because he ruined the only thing that made him feel constant; and that was you," she explained. Great now I feel like it's even more my fault than before; man I feel like the biggest BITCH EVER!
I remember earlier today that Steve knew who she was now that I want to know about. "Heather, how did Steve know you?" I asked curiously. She looked down and sighed and back up at me with her baby blue eyes. "I met him at the gym about a month ago and he seemed like a nice guy and he asked me out on date. I went out with him and he bought a bottle of wine. We got drunk and...slept together. After two days I go back into the gym and I see him flirting with another girl, so I walked up to him and slapped him telling that it was over." She explained.
My jaw dropped and I almost cried, but I didn't because I heard someone scream my name from another direction. I pulled my head up to see both; Heather and I staring at the man that played us both at the same time. Heather pulled me to the side before I could say anything.
"I think Steve tried to kill Zack. He might have seen us at the gym, we took proof pictures and recorded him in the locker room with another girl. It's on Zack's phone, I'm telling you the truth, just be careful." Wow she does care about Zack more than I thought...maybe she even cares about me, but I won't get my hopes up. I nodded and she left in the direction of the waiting room.
I turned around to see Steve looking at me with a worried expression on his face. "How's Zack? I heard what happened and..." his voice trailed off when he saw the expression I was giving him; a very angry expression. "What's wrong?" He asked and I laughed. "You have the nerve to ask me what's wrong, when you know EXACTLY what's wrong!" I yelled, I swear he was pissing me off so much. If the case was that he hurt Zack, than I'll never forgive myself.
"I don't know what your talking about?" He said keeping his story. "Oh really where were you when Zack got stabbed?" I asked him crossing my arms. He scoffed "You think I did it? Please I have you do you think I need to kill him to get to you?" He asked scoffing again. Did he think I was a piece of property? I guess so."Explain how you knew Heather?" I asked knowing he was going to lie anyways.
"That I can explain. Yes I did date her, but it was before we were together," he said making hand gestures. I knew he was lying to me. "You know what I'm done. You're a fuckin' liar and you will go to jail, because when Zack wakes up and he says it's you, I won't help you," I said slipping the ring off my finger and dropping it on the hospital floor.
I began to walk and than I heard him yell from behind. "You know you're nothing with out me! If I didn't kill that asshole now, I'll come back and keep stabbing him until he dies!" When I heard that I turned around and he had a smirk on his face, but what he didn't know was that I was smirking at the people behind him.
"Seven Williams, you're under arrest for the attempt murder of Zackary Martin," the officer said from behind him, along side him was another officer that I'm guessing is him partner. Steve turned to me with his nostrils frailing because of the anger boiling up inside him. I walked over to him as he was being locked in handcuffs.
I smirked at him "By the way I had sex with Zack when we were together and I moaned like you wouldn't believe. Oh and he is such a good kisser too, way better than you," I said smirking still and he was getting angier and angier by the second. "I'm glad I never slept with you, you're probably too small for me anyway," I said and finally turned away from him and walked off to the waiting room. "I'll get you, you bitch!" He yelled, but I didn't listen I just kept on walking.
I finally got to the waiting room and I saw Carey, Mr. Moseby, Heather, and Jason there. I wonder where London and Cody went. "Where did Cody and London go?" I asked and Mr. Moseby looked up at me, since Carey was still very emotional about this whole situation. "They went to get some coffee," he said sitting next to Carey trying to comfort her.
I sat down next to Heather with Jason on chair next to me. He slipped off the chair and motioned for me to pick him up, so I did. Heather smiled. "He does look like both you," she commented and I smiled at her and I agreed. "Although I think he looks more like Zack and thinks like him too," I said smiling and she laughed "Oh that's not good," she said and I laughed "Well some of it isn't, but it's okay," I said and I took a breath and let it out.
"So how did things go with Steve?" She asked. I turned to her and smiled. "He's gone. He admit it that he tried to kill him," I said and she smiled at me and nodded "With your help," she said and I nodded, but I shouldn't take all the credit. "Well you help too by telling me what was going on, thank you." I said giving her a hug and she actually hugged back and she muffled a 'your welcome'.
When we pulled away we heard the doctor come out. "Are you the family of Zackary Martin," he asked as Carey practically ran up to him. "Yes how's my son?" She asked wiping her tears away. "He did lose a lot of blood, so we did a transfusion and the good news is he's awake and you guys can see him, but only two at a time." he explained.
Carey looked at me and I smiled at her "Maybe you and Jason should go in first," she told me. I took a deep breath and let it out, but shook my head. I wasn't ready to see him. He probably hates me, I mean I wouldn't blame him if he did, I'm the reason he's here in the first place. "No you're his mom, you see him first. I want to see him last , I'm not ready to," I said starting to let tears form in my eyes again.
She walked over to me and gave a sympathic smile, she gave me a warm hug that I really needed so much. "Do you want me to bring Jason in?" she asked me as we pulled away. I sniffled and nodded. She nodded at me and took Jason's hand and went into the waiting room along with Mr. Moseby.
Everyone went into see Zack. Well everyone except me. I was just too scared to see him. I didn't want him to hate me for this; for everything that I've done. Carey took Jason back to the Tipton and Cody along with London went back also. They wanted to change the date of the wedding, but they didn't because Zack refused to let them 'stop their lives for him'.
Heather came down the hall; she just finished visiting Zack and comes up to me. "How is he?" I asked nervously. She smiled at me "Well for someone who's been stabbed he's much better than I expected. He asked about you and I told him you weren't ready to see him yet, so you let everyone else go in first," she said and gave me a pat on the shoulder "We could never hate you," she added and walked off to exit the hospital.
I took a deep breath, turned the door knob and opened the door to see Zack laying there wide a wake with his shirt off and large bandage wrapped around his stomach. He smiled as I walked in and I began to cry as I sat down by his bedside. He got out of the bed, wincing a little bit and stood in front of me as I sat in front of him. I was looking down the whole time and before I knew what he was doing he leaned down in front of me. He cuffed his hand under my chin.
"Don't think this your fault and about what happened three years ago, with the drinking and other stuff. This was defiently not your falut, you didn't stab me Steve did, which I heard you brought him to justice." he started I looked at him in his eyes with tears forming again and he wiped them away with his thumb. "You are the most bravest person I've ever met and I could never and I repeat never be mad at you...atleast not forever," That caused me to laugh a little and he smiled at me as I laughed.
All I could say or think was "I love you," I whispered and he smiled at me "I love you too, more than you'll ever know," he said leaning in to kiss me. I of course reacted. I'll ALWAYS react, till the day I die.
Okay tell me what you thought. I could never kill Zack because I love them together and I just can't really kill anyone from my favorite couple. I also created a Zack/Maddie video on youtube, so go into my profile and below everything the link to my profile is there, click on it and it'll take you to my videos. I hope you like it and this chapter.
