Liza pulled up to Zane's apartment building and sprinted up the stairs all the way to his door. She quietly knocked.

No answer.

She knocked again her anxiety growing.

Still no answer.

She put her hand on the doorknob to see if it was unlocked, inside she prayed that it was. When the doorknob turned she sighed with relief and swung the door open. The first thing that hit her eyes when she opened the door was a trashed apartment, there was dust everywhere. Food on the ground. A sink full of dishes too. She slowly walked inside and from out of the hallway a naked Zane walked out.

Liza yelped and turned away covering her eyes, "Zane omg! Get some clothes on!"

He laughed a little, "whoopsieess" his voice slurred. He turned back around to go into his room.

Liza looked around some more disgusted with her environment. She walked into the guest room to see him laying on his bed passed out. There were a few empty chip bags on the floor and some chips scattered on the bed. David looked and smelled miserable. He hadn't shaved in weeks and his hair was all over the place.

Liza smiled just at the sight of seeing him.

She cleaned up Zane's house so that when David woke up everything would be nice and fresh.

As she cleaned she hummed a bit, she hadn't been this happy in a few weeks, and she knew why. David makes her happy, wether he's a dirty slob that's only her friend, or her handsome boyfriend. She smiled and continued to clean.

The sun was setting when David woke up. He sat up in his bed looking around him, he couldn't remember what had happened. David glumly got up to get some medicine for his headache. When he walked in the kitchen he noticed everything was so clean. Then he turned to the living room to see a sleeping Liza on the couch and his eyes almost popped out.

He ran over to her, "Liza?! What are you doing here?!"

She sleepily sat up, her face a little pink, "Oh, uh, hey David... I just came over to check on you."

He smiled, "Thanks, uh I see you cleaned up?"

"Yeah, actually, you know how I get." They both laughed a bit but when it died it became awkward.

David was the first to speak up, "I wanted to let you know I'm sorry."

Tears glistened in her eyes, "and I forgive you. When was there a time when I made a mistake and you didn't forgive me? Never. And how is this any different?"

"Liza when she kissed me the other day, I- i didn't mean it, and when I-"

Liza cut him off, "it doesn't matter what happened, but all I know is I forgive you and I realize how happy you make me so-"

David grinned distracting Liza.

"um, as I was saying you make me really happy and I was thinking- if you're not ready for what we used to have- then we could be friends- I mean unless you want to be more than friends we can- but again I'm not forcing you, I just maybe we could be more than friends, but if that doesn't work out-" Liza ranted but David cut her off with a kiss. They were back.
