Story of a Girl

Moving In

"Nikki...wake up." Zacky softly says.

"Hum?" I ask turning my head.

"Time to wake up." Zacky says.

"Um...no it's not." I say pulling my blanket over my head.

"Oh...so you DON'T want to go home?" Zacky asks.

"Home?" I ask.

"Yeah...your doctor came in a while ago and said I could take you back home today." Zacky says.

"I'm up...I'm up." I say sitting up.

"Ha...that desperate?" Zacky says.

"Yes...I miss everyone. I miss simple human pleasures like taking a hot bubble bath, laying on the couch watching Grey's Anatomy, and Kissing my boyfriend." I say.

"Well you can do all of that when we get home." Zacky says.

"Good...I smell like a hospital." I say.

"Duh...you've been in one for a little over two months." Zacky says.

I'm forced to wear the clothes that I wore during the accident. The blue blouse has blood stains and rips in it, but it'll do.

"Ready to go?" Zacky asks.

"I've been ready since I woke up." I say.

"So I've heard." Zacky laughs holding the door open for me.

He walks by my side as we walk down the long hallway. Boy am I glad to be getting out of here, it's so...plain. When I step out into the sun, it surprises me how bright it is. I haven't been in direct sunlight in...a long time. Zack opens the passenger door for me of his car,. He either got it fixed or it's a new car, same make and model.

"Close your eyes." Zacky says.

"Why?" I ask.

"I have a surprise for you...no do." Zacky says.

"Fine." I ask closing my eyes.
"Will I need to slap you after this?" I ask

"I hope not." Zacky laughs starting the car.

I keep my eyes closed, though it's really temping to open them. Zacky stops the car and turns it off.

"Stay there, and keep your eyes closed." Zacky says.

I sigh and soon enough, my door opens. Zack unbuckles me and takes me in his arms. He lifts me out of the car and locks it before walking forward. He walks up a couple stairs before opening a door and walking inside.

"Ok...open your eyes." Zack says.
"Welcome home baby. He says as I open my eyes.

"I'm confused." I say looking around the perimeter of Zack's living room.

"Your living with me." Zacky says.

"Serious Zack? How?" I ask as he places my feet onto the floor.

"I asked Matt the night you came out of the coma, and he helped me move your stuff." Zacky says.

"This is awesome. Thank you." I say hugging him.

"Hey, you thought I'd wanna be away from you after you we're practically dead for two months?" Zacky asks.

"No." I laugh.
"I love you Zack." I say going on my toes and kissing him.

"I love you too angel." Zacky says.
"Now come on...let's unpack your stuff." He says taking my hand and walking forward.

I follow him into his room. There on the bed is a couple duffel bags full off my shit. What'd Matt do, put my whole room in here? Slowly, Zack helps me unpack. He already made room for all my shit. Does this mean Matt has finally forgiven Zack completely? If so, I'm one happy camper.

"Nikki?" Zack asks picking up a lacy blue thong.

"They're for dress pants." I say.

"Whatever you say." He says sling shotting them to me.

I roll my eyes and and throw them into my drawer. He gets up and stretches.

"I'll be back...I need beer." Zacky says.

"Ok...I'll be here." I say.

"Want one?" He asks.

"Sure, thanks." I say.

He walks out of the room and partially closes the door behind him. I go back to unpacking. I'm glad that I'll be living with Zack. Every morning he'll be the first person I see, and at Night, he'll be the last. This is gonna fucking ROCK!
