So i had some more spare time and this chapter happened :) Hope you enjoy!


Zack

As I waited outside the locker room for Alex my phone started to vibrate, I pulled it out of my pocket and saw it was from Izzy and I smiled, we'd exchanged numbers for part of the plan although she'd seemed pretty eager for me to have her number. If I didn't know any better I'd think she had a crush on me. I put in one of my earphones and answered the call.

"Do you have Alex with you?" she asked and I sighed.

"He should be out any minute now." I told her, glancing nervously at the door.

"He better hurry up."

"I'll force him out if I have to, don't worry." I assured her. "Are you with Becky?"

"Not yet, I wanted to wait until you were definitely with Alex." She said quietly and I frowned, why was she whispering?

"If you're not with Becky then why are you whispering?" I asked her and I heard her laugh, like her accent it was plain adorable.

"I'm round the corner to the green room, I don't want her to hear me."

"Oh because you have the loudest voice in the world." I teased, even talking to you one to one the girl was pretty quiet, I wondered if a drunken Izzy was much louder.

"True, but I wouldn't wanna steal your title." She said with a small giggle and I chuckled, she was certainly quick when it came to wit. I was about to reply when the locker room door opened and Alex stepped out.

"I'm ready." He said and I nodded.

"Certainly took your time." I said, hoping Izzy would realise that I was talking to Alex.

"Ok, start heading for the green room." She said and I nodded.

"What are you listening to?" Alex asked thinking my nodding was to my music and I just blurted out the first artist that came to mind.

"Justin Bieber." Alex chuckled and I heard Izzy chuckle on the other end of the phone, we were keeping the call going so that I knew where her conversation was going with Becky. We had to be close to the green room at a certain point.

"Hey, I um, think I left something in the green room earlier, will you come with and help me look for it?" I asked, scratching at the back of my neck, I really hoped this would work. The plan was for me and Alex to walk into the green room when Becky was confessing her 'Undying love' for him, to do this Izzy would keep the call going so I could hear the conversation but have mine and Alex's conversation on the lowest volume so that Becky wouldn't be able to hear us. The girl was pretty smart to have thought of this all by herself.

"Yeah, sure." Alex said with a smile. "Leave your Bieber doll in there?"

"Man shut up!" I said, shoving him lightly and he smirked.

"Hey you are obsessed with him." He said and I shook my head, this was gonna be a painful trip.


Becky

"Hey Isabel." I said, trying not to be bitter as she entered the green room. "What's up?" she told me she wanted to talk to me about something, I had a feeling it was to do with Alex.

"How you doing?" she asked, scuffling one converse covered shoe along the ground in front of her and I knew something was up.

"Fine, what about you?" I asked her, totally failing at sounding natural.

"I have a problem that I think you can help me with." She said, looking up at me and twirling a purple curl around her finger, I sighed, this was definitely about Alex. I could see it in those big blue eyes.

"What's the problem?"

"Well there's this guy I like, but I don't know how to get his attention without looking desperate." She said, her cheeks flushing and I put on a fake smile and tried my best to calm down, it wasn't her fault, it was mine for letting him go.

"Who's the lucky guy?" I asked her and she smiled, a far away look in her eyes.

"I know it's pretty silly," she said with a nervous laugh. "But its Zack." My eyes widened and I stared at her, she couldn't be serious could she?

"Seriously?" I asked, not needing to pretend to sound surprised and little Izzy went bright red.

"Yeah." She said softly and I smiled.

"It's not silly," I said, I knew she was telling the truth, no one would go that red in a matter of seconds if they were lying about who they had a crush on. "It's cute." I said with a small smile and she shrugged. "So why do you want my help?" I asked, coming back to her question, I didn't quite understand why she came to me for advice but I'd try my best to help her.

"Well you're close with him, you know what he likes."

"I think just about everyone knows what he likes." I said with a small chuckled and she nodded, her smile growing.

"Ok, so what do you think I should do?" she asked and I smiled.

"He's a pretty caring guy, why don't you just tell him?" I suggested. "See how things go from there." I shrugged, it would be nice for Zack to have a nice girlfriend and looking at her I thought Izzy fit the bill quite nicely.

"Ok." She said with a nod.

"Anything else?"

"About you and Alex…" she said slowly and I let out a sigh. "He's still head over heels for you," she said, turning to look behind her at the door before turning back to me. "And its clear you feel the same way about him, why don't you just tell him."

"I can't," I said, shaking my head. "I, I ended it, it would be too hard to tell him I want him back." Izzy gave me a sympathetic smile.

"He's a pretty caring guy, why don't you just tell him?" She said, repeating my words of advice and I chuckled lightly.

"Its not that easy Izz, how do you tell someone you've broken up with that you're still madly in love with them and hate every second that you're not with them, or in their arms?" The door, which hadn't been shut all the way suddenly burst open to reveal Alex, and I took a step back, turning to Izzy who had the biggest grin on her face.

"Like this." Alex said breathlessly, rushing over to me and cupping my face and crushing his lips against mine.


Zack

I grinned stupidly at the sight of Alex and Becky together before gesturing for Izzy to come join me in the hallway. I couldn't believe it had actually worked, but before we could celebrate there was one little thing I needed to clear up.

"I can't believe that worked!" Izzy said happily, pulling me into a hug. "Thank you so much!" she said before pulling away and smiling up at me, her blue eyes twinkling brightly.

"Yeah," I said softly and she frowned at me.

"What's up?" she asked and I smiled.

"Were you telling the truth back there?" I asked and she stared at me before her eyes widened and her cheeks went scarlet.

"Um, what part do you mean?" she asked nervously, looking at her feet which she was scuffling along the ground.

"You know what part I mean." I said softly, lifting up her chin so she was looking at me and even though I didn't think it possible her cheeks went a darker shade of red.

"Maybe…" she whispered, unable to meet my eyes.

"Can you give me a straight answer?" I asked. "You're killing me here girl." I said and she looked up at me, locking her blue eyes with mine and nodded.

"Yes, every word." She said softly before moving away from me. "I, um, I should get going, tell Eve and Barbie where Becky is." She said quickly, taking off down the corridor before I had the chance to catch her.


Alex

"You don't know how happy I was to hear those words come out of your mouth." I said, once we'd pulled away and Becky smiled before wrapping her arms around me and resting her head on my chest.

"I thought I'd lost you." she said quietly and I frowned.

"What do you mean?"

"Well until a few minutes ago I thought Izzy was after you." she said and I chuckled lightly.

"Even if she was, you wouldn't have lost me to her." I told her softly, kissing the top of her head. "But that English accent is adorable." I teased and she chuckled, knowing that I was joking.

"Everything about Izzy is adorable, you should have seen her face when she was talking about Zack."

"Trust me, I've seen that face many times." I assured her and she looked up at me with that smile that I love plastered on her face. "I'm sorry, for the thing with Barbie." I said softly and she shook her head.

"It was my fault too." She said. "I'm sorry for not listening to you, we did work it out in the end." She said with a sigh and I nodded.

"Yeah, I kinda noticed." I said with a small chuckle. "Now, will we be able to work everything out?" I asked her softly and she nodded.

"We kinda have to, I'm not happy without you." she said, a small blush gracing her cheeks and I grinned.

"I was hoping you'd say that." I said with a smile, before leaning down and brushing my lips with hers.
