Hart of Dixie

Meant to be

Zoe's P.O.V.

I walk over to Wade's and without knocking I walk in and see he is in his usual spot outside on his deck his legs sprawled beer next to him on the table and his arms crossed with a mixed expression on his face.

"We need to talk. "

"Sure. "

"First why don't you explain why George Tucker came over tonight and told me sorry for your loss. And second who the hell is Joel who needed to talk to you?! are you cheating on me? am I not good enough for you nor golden boy?! You have to cheat on me with someone not here?!" he screams and I groan. He knows and who told him golden boy himself but how did he find out? ugh perfect now I actually have to tell him that's just great! I sit down across from him and reach for his hand but he jerks away and I feel hurt. I cup my hands together pushing them to my chest for comfort and strength. I inhale and exhale softly lick my lips and try to start from the beginning.

"Well....... I'm home sick...... I-I miss New York and their ways...... I-I know bluebell is home and all now. But I just want to go and see it for a little bit nothing serious Wade...... I promise. "

"And you and George are going together?"

"No no I'm not..... I'm going alone. "

"So who's Joel?"

"Joel....... is an old doctor friend that I will be staying with since I sold my old house. "

"You're going to be sleeping with Joel?"

"Yes. No! I just needed a place to stay he said I could sleep a his house cuz he has a spare room that's all. "

"And when were you planning on telling me?"

.........

"Oh you weren't. But you told golden boy instead of your boyfriend who you are opening a business with and moving in together with ..... is this Because of him? Zoe are you leaving cuz you can't be seen with me anymore? you want George instead of me and so you're telling people you're leaving?"

"Wade I haven't told anyone except Brick Because he had to know he is gonna have to work without me I don't know how he found out Brick I guess told him for whatever reason. "

"No no of course not Zoe. " He says rubbing his face.

"I-I just don't get it...... you didn't want to say goodbye to me at least?"

"I'm not leaving tonight! And I knew. I knew if I did I wouldn't be able to leave."

"So when are you leaving?"

"Sunday. " I lie.

"Well..... Zoe..... I need you to choose right now. "

"Choose what?"

"You either choose our relationship or New York. "

"I can't make that decision right now." I say honestly and he sighs.

"You have by Sunday otherwise...... maybe it just wasn't meant to be. " He says and walks in his house. I stare up at the stars and clamp my eyes shut letting the tears fall. Why didn't I just tell him the truth! I blink my tears away and walk into my house struggling with myself and my decisions and how they affect everyone around me.

-- the next morning --

I roll over and look for Wade.

"Wade come back to bed you can go to work in 5 more minutes. "

"Baby? Wade?" I call and peel one eyelid open and remember our minor fight we had and groan in defeat. I didn't come up with a plan or a decision yet which sucks. I already promised AB I would do this for bluebell but my relationship is riding on the line here. OMG! what would I do without Wade he's my everything not some silly book I'm going to march right over to AB's and tell her just lay it on the line! I walk into town and across almost near mobile to AB's and without knocking I walk in.
