Rikki's POV

I hit Dean on the arm playfully as we strolled down Waverly Place. We had been hanging out the past two days.

"Alright Chadwick, I'll see you later," he said, stopping in front of the sub station.

I smiled. "Okay."

He walked away with a smirk on face and I walked into the sub shop.

"Had a good time?" Aunt Margret asked me with a sly smile.

I laughed. "Yeah, I did. We're hanging out again tomorrow."

"What about Zane?" she asked.

My smile faded. "What about him? It's not like that with Dean. We're just friends."

"Okay. Whatever you say."

"Wipe that smile off your face!" I laughed.

Zane's POV

I had been researching mermaids the past two days; I was convinced that that thing I had seen was one. As I scrolled down the page of a mermaid website I heard the doorbell ring.

"Oh, Alex," I said upon opening the door. She didn't look happy. "What's up?"

"Why have you been blowing me off? I've tried to call you a gazillion times!" she said.

"A gazillion? Don't you think you're exaggerating a little," I said, flashing her a smile.

She returned it a little resentfully. "Maybe just a little. But don't change the subject."

I sighed, and moved out of the way. She walked in, arms crossed. I moved over and sat on the arm of the chair. I moved my cell phone out from underneath me after I accidentally sat on it.

Rikki's POV

I picked up my phone as it rang and looked at who was calling. Zane! "Hello?" I said eagerly. I heard Alex's voice saying something. "Hello?" I repeated.

"Alex, I've just been busy," I heard Zane say.

"Yeah, busy doing what?" she said. He mumbled something I couldn't hear.

"What?" she said. Looks like she hadn't heard it either.

"I've just been doing some researching," he said.

"On what?" she asked.

"Sea creatures," he replied. There was a moments silence before Alex resumed.

"Zane," she sighed. "You know I like you…."

"Alex-" he started, and my heart beat faster.

"Don't you feel anything for me Zane? Anything at all?" she said.

"I-" he started.

"Zane," I heard her say quietly, closer to the phone. Then silence…

"I, I should go," she said, after a minute. "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that."

I heard feet scuffling and then a door slam. Zane sighed; it was like I could see the expression on his face. And now he'd be running a hand through his hair. Just like when we kissed the first time…

I hung up the phone. There was only one word to explain how I felt: Heartbroken.

I buried my face in a pillow as tears started pouring from my eyes. I thought I could trust him, but I was wrong.
