Chapter 1
I sat there staring at the phone. Just pick it up and dile the stupid number! I urged myself, Stop being a baby! Just call him! Before i could realize what i was doing my hand had reached down and punched in the numbers, much to my dislike. It rang once or twice before a voice picked up.
“Hello?”
I froze.
“Uh....Zac...weneedtotalk” i was so nervous i managed to make the end of my sentence sound like one long word.
“Marion?” he questioned. I could almost feel him smiling through the phone.
“uh-hu. that would be me.” genius. just genius.
“Hey” i could tell his smile had remained on his face. “Whats up?”
“Marit and I are going to be in tulsa tomorrow”so much for telling him your REAL reason
He laughed “I know. you already told me that several times.”
I couldn’t believe he was being so nice. After the way i treated him i didn’t deserve it.
“oh... right. I just wanted to remind you” i tried to sound as casual as i could.
He laughed again. Oh that laugh.....
“so is that all you wanted?”
“uh... yeah”
“alright then i’ll see you tomorrow.” he paused “bye Marion”
“by Zac”
and with that it was over.

“MARION! COME ON! LETS GO!” Marits voice rang through the hallway of our hotelroom in northern London.
“Coming!!” I yelled back flicking off the t.v. and grabbing the rest of my luggage. Hurrying out into the main room Marit was there to great me
“come on, slow poke” she smiled “Isaac is waiting” she blushed thinking of her boyfriend. They were the cutest couple i had ever seen, and i knew she couldn’t wait to see him.
“looking forward to seeing Zac?” she questioned as we entered the van that had been waiting outside for us.
“nervous. really nervous”
“He’ll be glad to see you” she reassured me “i promise. I mean what could possibly go wrong?”
i thought for a moment. “you know, your right. Everything will be fine.”

We arrived in Tulsa at around 8:30pm that evening and i was really tired. I stood in the middle of the airport, itz lights shinning down bright on me. Marit had needed to go to the bathroom and i got stuck with our stuff while i waited. glancing around the airport my eyes drifted to a man standing at one of the gates holding flowers. He looked like he was about to explode with excitement. A women rounded the corner and within seconds they were in eachothers arms. I sighed. I missed that. I wanted to tell Zac how sorry i was for being such a fool and i wanted him back. That was my main reason for this trip. to win him back. If he felt the same then it wouldn’t be hard.
“Marion! Come on. We gotta go” Marit said as she rounded the corner from the bathroom. He short curly blond hair was pulled back tight into a ponytail. She dined her favorite pair of jeans. They looked like they had been through hell and back. Her shirt was just a plain black top and yet she still looked awesome. no wonder Ike had fallen for her so easily.
Our manager had rented us a little car to bom around in while we were here. it was just a little red convertible sunfire but it was cute. Marit drove to the hotel, going on about how glad she was to see ike again. I knew she’d call him as soon as we got to the hotel and he’d be over to pick us up. We were having dinner with the Hanson family tonight, it would be our first visit to there house and i couldn’t help but wonder if it would look exactly how i pictured it to be. My nerves were slowly taking over my body and i didn’t know if i’d make it there and back without having a breakdown.
“And we are here!” Marit interrupted my thoughts.
“huh?”
“i said we’re here” she smiled.
“oh, okay” i grabbed my stuff and we checked in.
“first dibs on the phone!” Marit called swinging open the door of our luxurious hotel room. she dropped her stuff at the door and grabbed the phone.
And the countdown begins i thought to myself.
Marit hung up the phone. “Marion, guess what? Ike is already here!” she giggled. “He’d downstairs in the car waiting. How cute is that??” she grabbed my wrist and dragged me downstairs and outside. Spotting Ike she ran over to him and jumped into his arms.
“Ike! i’m so happy to see yo!” she squeled
“Hey” he said and kissed her.
“Hey Marion, how are you?” It was Taylor in the back with his best friend scott.
“Hey Tay” I smiled hugging him. i hadn’t seen him for at least three months “i’m good how are you?”
“great” he replyed flashing that smile. I had seen many girls fall to him after he flashed them that exact smile. “remember scott?”
“oh yeah, hey”
“hey” he replyed. Scott reminded me alot of taylor. they stood about the same hight and both had dark blond hair, the only diffrenece was that Scotts eyes shone a deep shade of green instread of blue, and they both had the exact same smile. i could swear that when they were little they would sit there and pratice smiling in the mirror so that they both did it the same way.
“Zac is excited to see you” Taylor informed me. My stomach did a little flop at the mention of his name.
“yeah i’m excited to see him to” At that point marit and ike jumped in and ike took of towards there home.
I couldn’t help but pray this night would go according to plan.
