Disclaimer:I own nothing.

Zoey went home that night after work and started to pack her things into boxes. Luckily, she had the next couple of days off. She knew that she could get a lot done in a couple of days. Her iphone buzzed to show that she had a text from Stefan saying that he couldn't meet in the park the next day. He was planning something for his girlfriend and he had work. He couldn't miss it. Zoey texted him back saying that she understood and that they could get together and play some other time. She walked over to the couch and sat down, taking out her phone again. She and Robert hadn't really talked in a while and she was starting to miss him a lot.

She then pulled up the contact and called him, putting the phone up to her ear as it rang. 'Hello?' She heard Robert say. Just his voice brought a smile to her face. "Hey sweetie, how are things in Michigan?"

"Things are great here. I'm still trying to finish up my master's degree, so nothing's new there. What about you babe?"

"Oh, that sounds good." She paused, listening to him. "I um. I actually have some good news. I found a place! No more living on my friends' couch!" She told him excitedly. She could barely contain herself.

"Really? That's great. I know how much you've been wanting to get out of there." He replied, sounding distracted.

"It really is. I'm sure that my friends will be happy to have me out of their way. I'm really excited. My roommate seems awesome too. Laid back."

"I'm sure that you aren't in their way. If I know you, you're probably taking up as little space as possible. Oh, cool. What's their name?" He asked, still distracted somewhat.

"Well, I don't want to be a hindrance to them..." She paused. "Jess. My roommate's name is Jess." She filled him in.

"Nice name. Hey babe. I've got to go. I have a test coming up and it's really important. I'll try to skype you tomorrow.."

"Yeah, it is. Oh, alright.. Talk to you later. I love yo-" Click

Zoey's face fell. It had been like this with them for a while. Ever since she had moved to Philly and he stayed in Michigan. They decided to try long distance to see if it was working. It worked great, until it didn't. She couldn't pinpoint when it started to go south but she kept hope that it was just because he was busy. Zoey looked up at the clock which read 12 a.m. She sighed and made up the couch. It wouldn't be long before she was in a bed again.

The next day

Zoey got up at what she felt to be an unreasonably early hour. She reached over to the sidetable and grabbed her phone. There was a text from her mom. Honey, your cousin is coming up to help you move into your new place. He should be there tomorrow. Love you! She looked at it and saw that it was dated for today which meant that he would be there tomorrow, or as she liked to call it, Saturday. The girl pulled out her phone and texted Jess. I should be over in the next hour with the first load. See you soon roomie. -Zoey.

Her phone soon buzzed. I'll be here. Don't forget your key, and don't call me roomie. -JM

Zoey smiled and shook her head. 'Yeah, like he's too cool for it or something..' She thought to herself. True to her word, she was at the building within the hour. She got out of the car and picked up the least heavy of the boxes and headed inside. A few flights of stairs later, she was out of breath. Why did it have to be on the third floor? The brunette fiddled with her key before putting it in the door and unlocking it, kicking it open with her foot. Jess was sitting in one of the chairs with his nose stuck in a book. "I'm home!" She said happily. "In case you were wondering, there's more downstairs.." She told him as she passed by him.

"Nope, I wasn't curious. But I guess that I could lend a pretty lady a helping hand." Jess shrugged as he got up, book going into his back pocket. Zoey put the box in her empty room and headed back out with Jess.

Hours Later

"That's all, right?" Jess inquired as he carried the last box up the stairs. "Yep. For right now. I have to go back in the morning to get more. My cousin will be here tomorrow to help me get things out of storage. So, that should be good." She explained as they entered the apartment. Jess took the box into Zoey's bedroom and put it on the floor next to the others. "Well then, I guess that you're all set." Jess said as he stood up straight, not noticing how close he had gotten to Zoey. Their faces inches apart, Zoey's back was against the doorframe. "..Y-yeah. I guess that I am.. Thanks for the help today." She studdered slightly as she managed to maneuver herself out of the doorway. Jess smirked. "I'll see you tomorrow then?"

"Yeah, definitely. Good night Jess. I'll let myself out." She said as she made her way to the front door, Jess following a couple of steps behind her. "Goodnight Zoey. Drive safe." He smiled. Zoey smiled and nodded at him before making her way out of the building and driving to her friends' place.

The Next Day

Zoey woke up to the sound of her phone's alarm going off telling her to get coffee. She got up and got dressed for the day. The brunette grabbed the essentials and the last box and told her friends goodbye and that they could visit her anytime. She had talked to her cousin last night after she left the apartment last night. He would be there in an hour. She had just told him to meet her at the apartment. He agreed and told her that he couldn't wait to see her.

Thirty minutes later, coffee was in Zoey's system and she felt more chipper. She sat at the shop for a few minutes trying to kill time before going back over to the apartment. Time passed by slowly and Zoey decided to just go to the apartment. The drive there was beginning to become more familiar and she loved it. She parked in the open spot and carried her box and leftover coffee up to the apartment. She tried to be as quiet as possible as to not wake Jess up. Zoey pushed the door closed and stepped lightly through the living room to the hallway.

"You're up early.." She heard Jess say from the kitchen, making her jump. "Gah! Just give me a heart attack why don't you?" She paused, waiting for her heart rate to slow down. "I was trying not to wake you up, but I guess that was useless since you're already up." Zoey looked back to see Jess shirtless and in flannel pajama pants. She tried not to stare as she turned back and started walking to her room. "Sorry for the heart attack." He called to her. "It's fine. If you need me, I'll be in my room sorting things." Jess nodded, taking a sip of coffee and walking into the living room.

It was maybe fifteen minutes later when the doorbell rang. "Can you get that? It's probably my cousin." Jess heard Zoey call out from her room. He sighed and walked over to the door. Opening it revealed a familiar tall figure, one that Jess didn't care for. "Dean."
