•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Soon after Aleah and the guys pick me up from jail, I suggest to go shopping.
I needed to say sorry to Aleah after last night. She asked me why I was so mad, even though I was embarrassed I told her.
"I need to tell you something else!" I exclaimed
"Go on"
"Wait lets get some 'Starbucks' first!" She dragged me over to Starbucks.
**
While me and Leah were walking around with our bags of clothes and jewelry, I noticed a little boutique.
It had the cutest friendship necklaces.
It was a heart on one and handcuffs on the other. They both said "partners in crime". I ran into the store. I asked the lady to write "Sam+Leah" on the back of both of them. I paid and gave one (the heart) to Leah.
She laughed
"Awh this is so cute"
She exclaimed as we hurried back,
Mr.Kenny would kill us if we were late!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Me and Leah were a little bit late, we were going to see some opera show, which I was so bored at and Aleah was pumped.
We arrived late, so Mr.Kenny chose our chairs, placing Aleah right beside Justin, and me beside... Zac.
I think about everything that happened last night, how he danced wildly with Brittany , how close they were, how they were sucking off each others faces.
I closed my eyes.
I don't care , I thought to myself.
Then I thought about it once again. I was really rude to Zac and he honestly deserved an apology.
"Sorry" I muttered to a Zac who was ignoring me since he got me out of jail with Leah.
"Huh?" He asked flatly.
"I said sorry. I... I was really rude to you, you know I never try to hurt people, I'm honestly really sorry."
I said looking down at my Jordan's.
I had changed so much after Zac. Yeah I know that some of it was good for me, but I also stopped trusting people. That made a huge gap in my life. I was depressed for a while, after him. Then... I guess I just shut myself off, stopped caring about everyone except a few, like Leah.
" I honestly don't believe what I have become" I whispered holding back my tears.
"I know how you feel Sam, I don't know what I've become either." He sighs looking straight at the stage as if he's not talking to me.
He closes his eyes.
"Shit. Sorry .. I called you Sam by accident." He muttered playing with his hair.
"It's okay. You can call me Sam." I whispered.
"But you said only the people who you care about---" he says before I cut him off.
"Yes Zac I only let the people I care about call me Sam." I laugh, was it really that hard to understand.
Then and there I saw a lot of emotion in his eyes.. But what shows the most to me was thankfulness.
I leaned on his shoulder looking the people on stage yelling nonsense.
" You know Zac... I believe we have a lot of catching up to do." I say only so he could hear.
"It's about time." He sighed nice and long.
I think it was time for me to forgive. I couldn't live like this anymore, I didn't want to. I was going to give all the right people a second chance. Zac was a right person... Deep inside, I know he was still the boy who danced with me on a wall.
"Sam.. Sam" he said playing with the name, "man I missed calling you that" He said.
"And I missed calling you shit brain. Now can we please watch the show" I laughed.
I hadn't realized when I has falling asleep on Zac's shoulder, holding onto his arm... Just like old times.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm pushed awake by Zac he looks at me weird.
"What the f- I mean hell. What the hell Zac!" I stutter waking up in theatre.
"Sam everyone's leaving! Let's go!" He whines like a child.
"Fine! " I say frustrated and unprepared to fight. I grab my skateboard and walk behind him.
"Say Zac, " I start sounding like a old man, "didn't you love to skate as well?"
He looks at me a little sad, I remember me and Zac when we bought our first skateboards we were six. I had a black and orange one and he had a black and green. Today my skate board was a custom made original black on the top but on the bottom there were so many beautiful and colourful designs. I honestly loved my skate board so much.
Today was our last day in NYC and honestly I was beginning to feel my mood get way better, because next stop was Paris! The land of love, yuck... But it was Aleah's dream place so that's why I was really excited for paris.
Our flight was at 3 am tomorrow morning, and I was not looking forward to that part.
"Where's Aleah?" I ask Zac trying to break the awkwardness.
"Oh Justin and Leah said they needed to sort some things out so..." He trailed off.
"Well.. We do have a few hours might as well have some fun!" I exclaimed.
"Skate park?" We both said at the exact same time. I guess some things never change.
"I can rent the board for a day!" Zac said excitedly, I nodded at his idea as we speed up.
**
When we got there Zac was waiting in a rental line.
"I'll be back I need to uh, go to the bathroom" I said, he nodded and I walked away out of his view. If me and Zac were going to have a fresh start might as well make it worth something! I decided to give him his own skateboard! I know that Zac loved to skate. I wasn't sure why he had even stopped in the first place. The start to mine and Zac's new friendship would mean so much more if I helped him start over with his passion to skate!
I went to the custom skate board shop.
"Hi I'd like to make a custom skate board please, I want it to be original black on the top" I showed him my board as an example, "but on the bottom can I have the name Zac, that's z, a, c, in huge bold green graffiti letters, and lots of cool designs coming out from behind the name?" I asked
The worker nodded showing me a sketch of what he was going to do. I smiled pleased with the board and told him I'd pick it up later in the evening.
When I came back I saw Zac.
He smiled and waved at me, with a rental skate board in his hand.
"Race you to the ramps!" I yelled already running.
"Hey! That's not fair!" He said sprinting behind me.
**
Me and Zac had been skating for hours, it was so fun doing new tricks.
After about 2 1/2 hours me and Zac decided to get some dinner. We settled on some hot dogs from a near by vendor. We sat down on the edge of the ramp, munching away on our hot dogs, and telling witty jokes.
" If Apple made a car... Would it have windows?" I asked cracking up.
He chuckled at that one. Then his eyes lit up at a joke he had thought of .
"Are you a banker... Because id love for you to leave me a loan" he laughed so much that I started laughing at how long he was laughing at his own joke.
"Your so weird Zac!" I said playfully punching his arm.
Then I remembered about the skate board!
"Wait here I'll be back in one second!"
I said to him as I ran off, I went to the shop where I had placed the order for Zac's board. I payed him with I wide smile and ran back towards Zac. I made sure the skate board was behind my back.
"Close your eyes!" I yelled at him as I sat down beside him.
"OPEN!" I screamed holding the skate board in front of his face.
He gasped when he saw the skate board staring at it and then me with wide eyes.
"No... Oh my god!" he exclaimed.
"How do you like your present!??" I smiled so wide, I felt my checks go numb.
He ran his hand over the board, speechless.
"Thank you so much Sam." He whispered.
"I know you missed skating Zac. What better way to start a new friendship?" I giggled.
"Oh I almost forgot, I got you something as well!" He said reaching into his pockets.
He pulled out a cute little box, too big for a ring, but too small for a necklace.
"Here" he said opening the box in front of my face.
I could not believe my eyes when I saw the most beautiful bracelet hanging in the velvet cloth of the box.
I pulled both my hands over my mouth.
"Zac" I whisper
It was a beautiful silver charm bracelet with small crystal diamonds here and there. It had 4 perfect charms in it. The most tiny and shiny silver boxing glove, the cutest and most sparkling baby skateboard with small crystal diamonds for wheels. A small little spray paint can, studded with crystals, and lastly a cute little camera with a diamond as the lens. All of these things represented something I was really passionate about. Boxing, spray-painting, skating, and photography.
" Thank you!" I squealed.
He chuckled as he pulled the bracelet on my wrist.
I couldn't help but pull him into a long tight hug.
Before we went back to the hotel, we decided to skate by the beach.
It was such an amazing day. I had so much fun today that it almost felt like a dream.
We stopped by this rock. And decided to climb it.
I reached the top before Zac and sat down. The rock was kind of like a cliff. It hung high over the water, leaning into it. Zac came and sat beside me.
"Wow." He sighed.
"Wow." I agreed.
We both looked at each other and laughed.
I kept on looking at the bracelet Zac had given me. It was just so amazing. The sky was orange and pink, fading into a blue. The sun was just about kissing the sea. I looked down at the bracelet again. I looked up at Zac who was looking at me. His eyes were like the water and I was drowning.
"Zac." I sighed not taking my eyes away from his.
"Sam" he says doing the same.
Then suddenly his face and my face leaned forward. Our lips pressed into each others, slowly and softly, just a quick moment only for a moment, but my lips were on fire, they were tingling to the touch of his, before we both pulled away. Still staring at each other.
We were both smiling like idiots.
He smirks, "Hey Sam."
I laugh out loud.
"Hey Zac."
**
We were both just getting up to leave when I push him off the rock into the water. Before I can react, he grabs my ankle and pulls me down into the water with him.
We both are hysterical, laughing as we pull ourselves out of the water soaking wet. Zac just stares at me, and I go red.
We grab our boards and head back to the hotel.
As were walking, back he lent me his sweater because we were both wet and it was getting cold out.
He drops me off to my hotel room. Leaning in the door frame he says how he had so much fun. He thanks me for the board and I shrug it off. I thank him for the bracket and he does the same. We say our final goodbyes after 10 minutes of standing in front of the door.
I close the door behind me and I collapse on my bed. What a day. I get up and change into my night clothes. I sit down on my bed watching 'Mean Girls 2' until Aleah arrives at 9:30.
" You seem way overly happy to be my Sam." She chuckles as she sits beside me.
"Oh you don't know a thing.., where have you been!" I ask her with a mouth full of gummy bears.
"Out and about...." She said mischievously, waggling her eyebrows
