(Just Like) Starting Over

Zack's POV
She kissed me. I wait for her to pull away, to slap me, to say how much she hates me, but it never comes. She just keeps kissing me deeper and deeper until we both have to breathe. When we separate, I finally notice the stares of everyone else in the room. Laura seems to realize it about the same time that I do, and blushes crimson, just like I love.

"Well, um happy new year!" Alex says, clearly trying to diffuse the tension. He fakes a yawn. "I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm exhausted. 'Night." He and Jack leave the room.

Awkwardly, everyone else mumbles a happy new year and shuffles out of the room. The last one to leave, Matt stops for a second, like he's going to say something, but just shakes his head and walks out, shutting the door behind him. And it's just the two of us.

She's doing that super adorable thing where she plays with her hair. It's ultra curly, full of ringlets. Whenever she's nervous or happy she finds a stray curl and plays with it. I smile. She's still so adorable.

"So, umm...." She starts to say, but then just ducks her head."

"Yeah. That's kind of where I'm at."

"I'm just in shock. All I wanted was to kiss you, because I've missed you and I'm still head over heels for you. But I also knew how much you must hate me. So I'm sorry." And she gives me a sad smile.

What? Is she joking? Me, hate her? "Are you kidding me right now, Laura?"

She looks up, obviously startled by my words and the intensity behind them. But there's more than blank in her eyes for once. It's hope......hope and pain. All I want to do is erase that pain from her eyes, and her life.

"W-what do you mean?"

"I mean that I could never hate you. And dammit, if anyone was in the wrong here, I'm pretty sure it's me. I just stayed away from you because I figured you hated me. I hurt you, badly. And I didn't know how to fix it."

"Zack, I'm not going to lie. I was really mad at you. But ever since that night a few weeks ago, I couldn't bring myself to. I knew that I still cared about you, a lot. And I was just hoping that you still did too."

"Oh Laura, of course I do. I never stopped." And I reach over and wrap her in one of my famous bear hugs. I can feel her smile into my chest.

"Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww." I didn't even notice the door opening, let alone see Flyzik, Jack, Alex, and Rian standing there watching me and Laura. She blushes again, and I smile at her, rubbing my thumb along her cheekbone.

Laura's POV
He never stopped. He never stopped caring. Zack just didn't want to hurt me. When he reaches his arms out to me, I wrap myself in them. This is home. Here, in Zack's arms on the bus with everyone.

"Awwwwwwwwwww." Oh my gosh. Everyone is back. I blush violently, still happy as Zack strokes my face gently.

Everything is right again.
