Nightmare

Chapter Thirty-One

Dezzy

It had been a quiet few days. I had spent most of my days with Kat, Matt and most of all Zack. After the night in the club there had been no more instances. There was absolutely no signs of the ex girlfriends. All of us pretty much spent our time sight seeing, dining, and generally having a good time.  I was quite happy with it. It meant the guys weren't so cranky and made for a solid time. They both seemed so relaxed, having a great time.

The festival went good as well too. I was amazed with hearing the guys play their new song for the first time live. It was amazing honestly. I was actually becoming a fan of their music, especially the new stuff. I could now see the real passion that they put into their music. I wasn't clouded by my feelings of resentment. Actually now they were gone.

Things honestly were going fantastic. Zack was a total sweetheart. He treated me like a queen, opening doors for me, pulling my chair out, being a good gentleman.  And apparently Zack was right about Matt too. The him wanting to change for Kat. It was obvious Matt was putting in real effort for her. Especially today. Somehow the two had set up this weird spa day for Kat and I.

At the end of it all we were getting makeovers and then some huge surprise.

We had been waxed, massaged, manicures, pedicures, hair done, make up done and now we were being ushered into separate dressing rooms to get dressed for whatever way the two had planned to end the night.

I thought it was a wonderful thing for the guys to do. It was really sweet honestly and very very thoughtful. It seemed that the time Kat and I had spent away from Matt and Zack they had learned romance.

I was happy for Kat though. It really appeared as if Matt was doing his best to show his affection for her all the time. He was constantly holding her hand, kissing her in public, even just randomly telling her he loved her. It made me smile to see her so happy. It was always fun to see the shock on her face whenever Matt did something to show his affection. Kat would look skeptical and thrilled all at once. I think it really meant the world to her that he was at least putting in an effort for her. She kept telling me how this wasn't him. How he had never done this in the past and now, he was. I was beyond thrilled at the pure joy that shone in Kat's eyes constantly. It gave me joy to see her so happy. She deserved it.

Zack, well god, I had never met anyone quite like him. He was, well he was special. Zack wasn't what I had expected to end up with but I couldn't be happier. Sometimes when he had fallen asleep and I laid in bed next to him I couldn't help but think of Jimmy. I knew I loved him, I had mourned for Jimmy for close to seven years after all, but now it didn't hurt anymore. My chest didn't feel like it had a gaping hole in it anymore. It felt like I was a whole person again. I could really smile, I could really laugh, and It was all because of Zack. Thanks to him I had friends again, I had a boyfriend again. I felt like I was truly living again. I'm sure most would say that it was wrong what Zack and I were. After all I was Jimmy's ex, Zack was one of Jimmy's best friends, and now Zack and I are together. But like Kat had told me time and time again, Zack and I deserved happiness. We had both been mourning the same person for a very long time, we both understood each other's pain, and now we could come together to be happy. Jimmy would have wanted us both happy, and I knew she was right. Jimmy would have wanted us happy, and I honestly believed that somewhere, wherever he was, he would have been happy Zack and I were able to make each other happy.

I couldn't help but grin all the time anymore, even in this little dressing room. I couldn't help marveling at the effort Zack and Matt had put into making this day happen. They had pulled all the stops apparently even our wardrobe.
