Zoe Stepped inside.
"Robyn would you please leave me alone Max says as he looks up "what are you doing here I don't want to speak to you Zoe"
"I know and you don't have to , I just want you to listen to me, you owe me that much" Zoe says quietly
"I don't owe you anything Zoe , the night you slept with that man broke us so I don't have to listen to you"
Max gets up but Zoe blocks the doors and locks it.
"You will listen to me, please give me 5 minutes that's all I ask" Zoe pleads
"Okay you got 5 minutes"
Zoe gathers her thoughts for a second and then she starts to talk
" I know you hate me, and I know I've destroyed what we had, but you need to know I've never stopped loving you, I made a stupid mistake ! I was so blind drunk I didn't know what I was doing I can't even remember his name"
"Is this meant to make me feel better? That you didn't know what you were doing? You had a choice Zoe, you could of left with everyone else and you choose to stay" Max snaps
"Okay yes your right, I had a choice and if I could turn the clock back I wouldn't of made that choice, i was scared Max, I had all these doubts going through my mind and instead of facing up to them I made the biggest mistake of my life"
"Zoe don't you think I had doubts too, but I thought our love was strong enough to get through it" Max says
"I know, I didn't know what I was thinking , but please Max we can make this work we can work through this, please give me another chance" Zoe pleads
"Zoe I'm sorry I can't forgive you, it would never be the same again between us " Max says quietly
"Max please, I will do anything, I love you so much, this can't be the end , please Max"
"Zoe I'm sorry, I can't, every time you go out for a night out I be worrying who's bed you would end up in, the trust is gone Zoe, we can't go back , we can't fix something what's already broken" Max says while trying to hold the tears back.
Zoe realised in that moment that she had the lost the fight, no matter how hard she was fighting for Max, he was no longer fighting for her. The pain overwhelmed her, she could feel it suffocating her, but she realised she must do the right thing and let Max go, he deserved someone who would make him happy. Zoe made the decision that she couldn't stay in Holby any longer.
"Max your right it will never be the same, so I've made the decision to leave Holby for good"
"Zoe you haven't got to that, you love this place to much" Max answers
"I used to, but I can't stay here, I can't bear to see you everyday, it's the right thing to do, for once in my life I'm doing the right thing " Zoe slips of her wedding ring and places it in Max's hand, she kisses him for the last time and whispers
"Goodbye Max Lyndsey Gerald Walker"
Before Max can reply Zoe is out of the door and gone.
