Xavier's Pov

Why didn't she recognize me? I'm just gonna tell her who I am and that we've met before. Why did she have to move away? That's the only reason doesn't remember me.

At the end of the weekend, River and I are leaving. We're going to America, the reason being that I thought why not join a foreign exchange program. Two of us for two of them. The people were swapping with are Andrew and Jace Jacobs.

I stare down at Zoey, she's always been so bubbly and always smiling I hate to see her heartbroken.

"Hey Zoey," I mumble.

"Yeah..."

"Wanna go somewhere that will lift your spirits?"

"Sure, why not it's better than sitting here getting drunk."

"Get up, tell your friend you'll meet him back at your hotel room when you get back."

"Okay, I will."

She texts her friend and tells him that she's leaving with me. We climb into my car then drive off.

I'm taking her to our favorite spot, the one we used to hang out at when we were kids. Those were great times.

We're driving in silence. I let her sleep she didn't seem like she was feeling okay. The car comes to a halt then I climb out and grab the blanket and water bottle that was in the back. I walk over to the side of the passage and open the door. She's already awake.

"Hey, here's a water bottle."

"Thanks."

I give her my hand and she takes it. We walk to the open of trees and where you can see the clear view of the waterfall.

I lay the blanket down and take a seat.

"How are you feeling?"

"Okay-ishh."

"Figured you needed some fresh air."

"Thank you Xavier I did."

She looked so deep in thought. I had to ask.

"What's up."

"This place looks very familiar, your name also sounds familiar. What's your last name?"

"Umm...Holli-" I was immediately cut off by her hugging me.

"Xavy it's you, I've missed you so much."

"You're chocking me Zii."

" I'm so sorry, thanks for helping me back there...so that was River my maley male best friend?"

"Same old River...but he's bumped you forgot about him."

She frowns. "I hope I can make it up to him."

"Sure you can, you could come over tomorrow."

"I'd like that."

We just sit there and look at the stars.

"You know mom isn't around much anymore ever since dad Died."

"I'm sorry, so you've been living alone?"

" I was living in the house with Caleb, but I told him to leave after what he did." I try to a small sad smile but it turns into a frown.

"River and I are gonna be there after the weekend maybe you could show us around, and we'll be sharing a house like old times except this isn't a dollhouse." I chuckle

"Yeah like old times....:/"

"Do you wanna go back to your hotel now or..."

"Can we stay a little longer?"

"Sure."

We sat there for somewhat hours. She was the most beautiful girl I've spent my life worrying about. She was my first crush still is.

"I missed you." She stated

"I missed you too, more than I'm supposed to."

"Me too. "

She leans in and lands a kiss on my lips. She's kissing me. I kiss her back. Then we pull apart.

"That's what I missed." She stated.

"I missed that too."

We sat there smiling at each other. She's my soulmate, my ride or dies. I don't care if u have to wait for her. I'll wait if I have to.

"I think you should head back now. Don't forget tomorrow you'll come over."

"Sure."

Zoey's Pov

I kissed him. What we did before I moved to America. The sparks were still there. As we're walking to his car. I'm just smiling at how he still felt the same. I've been looking forward to seeing him again. I missed my best friend and my soulmate.

We climb into the car. All I can think about is the kiss. It made me forget about Caleb and reminded me of what I left behind, Xavier. He knew me more than I knew myself. And I like him for that. Ever since dad died. It has been rough. Mom's pushed me away and left me in America to fend for myself. At least River and Xavier will be living with me.

"Hey, Xavier."

"Yeah, Zoey."

"Will you lea e me like the test of them?"

" I'm not leaving you not again."

"Thank you, Xavier."

The next day I wake to next to Xavier. I get to in a hurry. I notice that I'm still wearing my dress. He on the other hand is wearing just his pants.

I home we d-didn't do anything crazy yesterday. I take the time to look around the room I'm in. I think it's Xavier's room.

I spot a picture on his desktop. Walking closer I reach for it. It's a picture of us smiling and having fun with other family members and I notice on the person, my dad he has been a huge grin. A year cascades down my cheek. I hear the movement of the bed, quickly wiping the year away I turn around.

"Hey, you okay?" He asks concern laced in his tone. "Yeah, I'm fine, just hungry." I lie. "If you want breakfast, we could go downstairs if you'd like

Awwwww... 😟

So Yeah this is it, Xavier's cute Right like I can't be the only one thinking that....okay so basically. Xavier and Zoey are Childhood best friends but they had ᴀ thing for each other so they kissed before she left for America. Zoey was so caught up in Caleb and school she forgot about her two best friends.

Now that she has visited Spain, and saw Xavier and River but mostly Xavier, their feelings resurfaced.

She's trying her best to forget about Caleb and the way he hurt her is a whole do I like or Love Xavier?

If you have any questions feel free to ask I'm always here......okay let's be honest I'm not always here.*Facing facts*
