Terminal One
For years, Zachary Lewis Taylor has been stuck in Terminal One-not an airport, but the space between his past and future, between heartbreak and the possibility of love. He's spent too long waiting, afraid to board the next chapter of his life.

With her own wounds and unspoken regrets, Fatima becomes an unexpected companion in Zac's limbo. Together, they navigate the turbulence of love, loss, and second chances. But love is a departure gate-you either take the leap or stay behind. And as Zac and Fatima stand at the crossroads of their own hearts, they must decide whether to keep waiting or finally take flight. A poignant and heartfelt love story, Terminal One is about the moments that keep us grounded, the fears that hold us back, and the courage it takes to finally move forward.Complete![Till We Meet Again [complete]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/222131089-256-k5163.jpg)

"And why not after school or in the weekend?" "Because there's no thrill to it. Please, Louisa." He asked again. I sighed. "What's in it for me, Liam?" He chuckled. "You get to spend time with me! Liam Gilbert, your tour guide, the guy you come to when you don't want to study!" "Let's make a deal," I smirked, "if I ditch with you then you have to study with me." He looked unsure and I knew he didn't want to. I shrugged. "Okay, I'll see you at home." He moaned. "Fine, but you have to ditch me right now." My face lit up like a Christmas tree and I was truly surprised. "Okay, let's go." * There are a few rules when it comes to ditching class. Rule number one: Don't tell anyone.
