Zion's pov

She was gorgeous. The most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my life. Even four years later, she was still the prettiest girl in my eyes. I just couldn't go up to talk to her. I was still embarrassed and ashamed of what I did with her mother.

The grammy's was fun although we didn't win. The beanz and limelights (why don't we fans) were going crazy on each other about which band was going to win the Best Boyband category, but ok, we both lost. The BTS fans went extra hard this year. When everyone was getting ready to leave, we talked to Why Don't We a bit, and they're actually nice dudes. Soon we snapped a picture with each other and posted it online, the fans immediately going crazy.

And as we loaded our stuff in the back of the car, I saw her. Skylar was with her manager, walking down to their car. My brain told me to stay were I was but my heart and body thought differently because I walked up to them.
"I'll wait in the car." Her manager said, excusing herself from us.

"Hey, Skylar." Was all I could get out at that moment.
"Zion."
There were a million things I wanted to say to her: I miss you, I want you back, I miss the way we have sex together, I miss waking up next to you, I want you, I love you, but instead I said: "You look nice."
"Thanks. Well you don't look too bad yourself."
We then stood there for a couple minutes and she excused herself. "Listen, I've gotta go, Remy is waiting in the car and-" but I stopped her by grabbing my arm, not hurting her.
"I miss you, Sky." I said. "Like a lot. I'm still so sorry for what I did, but I want you, need you and will fight for you. It's okay if you're hung up on a guy right now, but I just want to try and make you mine again."
"Good luck. I have to go."
I tried going in for a hug but she was already gone.

Skylar's pov

It was so hard not to kiss him right there or make out. I wanted to hug him, kiss him, have sex with him on the parking lot, tell him I miss him, love him, need him! But I couldn't. He did it with my mom, not some random bitch, MY MOM.

I tried forgetting about him but that night I couldn't fall asleep. I even touched myself as my mind drifted off and started thinking about him. Sweet, sweet Zion...

The next morning I woke up to puffy fucking eyes and felt the laziness taking over my body as I made breakfast for the kids. As I was eating, my phone started buzzing and it was Remy.
"Goodmorning Rem, what's up?"
"Okay so there was this band that wanted to thank you for the pieces you made and they really wanted to do it in person. Sky, it would really help if you came, you'd gain a bigger audience if they like you enough."
"Is that band Pretty Much, Rem?"
"Yeah, so-"
"I'm familiar with them, we were really close friends back in the day."
"Good. I'll see you in twenty minutes at the workplace, is that okay with the kids?"
I nodded, forgetting that she couldn't see me. "I'll be there."

I hang up on Rem and call the kids their babysitter, Lucie, who they love because she lets them do a lot of things I would really let them.

Soon I was at the workstudio with Remy, waiting for the guys to pop up. My stomach was twitching and turning, collywobbles. I was exited to see everyone but Zion. He said he'd try to win me back and I gave him a go-ahead. What if he managed to do it. What if I fell for him again?

I was about to say 'Fuck it, I'm going home', when they stormed in, Brandon in front of the group.
"Skylar!!!" He laughed as he pulled me in for a hug.

"When you said, you were familiar with them, I though you were kidding." Remy laughed as Edwin was next in line to hug me. They were all so exited to speak to me again and it warmed my heart. When I came to Zion, he pulled me in for a much tighter hug and gave me a kiss on the cheek, making the other guys 'ooooh' us.

I felt so awkward so when he let go of me, I quickly ran up to Remy and stood next to her as Brandon handed over a bag, with presents inside.

"Can I open it", I asked. "Or should I take it home?"
"Take it home, it's a surprise."
"Okay."

We talked a bit more about life and things we still needed to fill each other in on and then they had to leave for an interview at Z100. I wished them luck and said goodbye to them and Remy before taking off myself as well.

When I got home, I paid Lucie and let the girls take a nap on the couch after I read them a short story. Then I walked up to the kitchen table and took the presents out of the bag. Apparently each guy bought me something, because every present had 'from' and then one of the boys' names written on it.

Austin got me a choker because I was so obsessed with them and so did Edwin. Nick got me a card for Chipotle so I could get 35% discount on every order for 3 months straight. Brandon got me three tickets for a funpark I could take the girls to, although the kids only had to be $5 and I $10.

Then came Zion's present. My hands were shaking as I opened the present slowly, and when I looked at what was inside, I lost it.
