Chapter 11

The next day,they toured London. It was beautiful. After a 6 days there,they headed to Paris,France. They arrived at their hotel in the afternoon.

"Grandma,I'm going out for a walk."

"Ok. Why don't you walk to the park downt he street,it's where the Eiffel Tower is?"

"Ok,I wil. Bye." She grabbed her jacket and walked to the elevator.

"Damn! French guys look good!"she squealed to herself,eyeing the guy in the elevator with her.

"Are you from America?" he asked,with an accent.

"Yes,Oklahoma."

"Ah,I've heard of that."

"Cool. I'm Rebecca."

"I'm Jerodd."

"That sounds a little bit like Jarrod in America."

"Yeah,except Jerrod is pronounced with a long e."

"Cool. How old are you?" she asked as they walked into the lobby.

"17. You?"

"I just turned 13."

"That's cool. Eh,would you like to go to the Eiffel Tower with me?"

"That's just where i was headed!"

"Then let's go together,if that's ok with you that is?"

"Of course! I would love to!" They walked outside,and down the sidewalk.

"Do you date anyone?"

"Yes,I do. His name is Zac." He actualy hadn't crossed her mind since that morning.

"Oh,ok. Ya know,there's an American named Zac that is really popular here."

"Oh really? What's his last name?"

"Henson,Hanson,something like that. He's in a famous band." Her face went bright red.

"Why are you blushing?"

"His last name is Hanson,I,he,he's the guy that i go out with."

"Oh! Well,it's a very good group you know."

"Thanks,he would appreciate that."

"There it is!"

"Omigosh! Jerrod,it's so...BIG!"

"I know...let me get a picture of you." He grabebd her camera,and backed away,then took a few pictures of her.

Zac Hanson walked down the French street. Rebecca's grandparents had said that she went to the Eiffel Tower,and since they had to come to France for a spurr of the moment concert,he decided to pay her a visit. *************************************************************************

Rebecca and Jerrod were standing,looking at eachother. Rebecca thought of Zac,how she missed his voice,his face,his sweet loving kisses. As she looked into the eyes of the French 17-year-old,she was desperate for something. He leaned down,as if to kiss her,she tried to say no,but she couldn't,her body just went dumb. As their lips touched,Rebecca's eyes fluttered open. She saw a face...blond hair,caramel eyes,beautiful full lips.

"ZAC!?"she screamed running towards him. He ran the other way,tears threatening to spill over.

"Zac wait! I can explain! Wait!" She chased after him,finaly,he stopped,and turned towards her.

"How could you?! How could you do this to me?! I gave all of my love to you,and this is how i get re-paid?! I don't think so girl!"

"Zac! Wait,i can explain." She was in a fit of tears,and now Jerrod was behind her.

"I'm waiting."

"Ok,Zac,i,i,i missed you so much,and i just wanted to fill you lips to mine,and i just,i was think of you..and..."

"Those weren't my lips Rebecca!! They were some fuckin French guys!!!"

"I know,I know,but i just,i kept thinking of you,and i couldn't stop,i went numb. Zac,don't hate me,don't hate me,I love you...I love you." She fell to her knees sobbing uncontrolably. She heard Zac crying above her,she hated it when he cried,it always made her cry even worse. Zac grabbed her arm and helped her up gently.

"Rebecca,I love you with all of my heart..but..."

"Then you aren't mad?"

"Yes,I AM MAD!!! I assure you of that!"

"Then...you aren't breaking up with me?"

"Wrong again!"

"Zac! I love you,i really honestly love you,with all of my heart! Don't do this to me! Don't..don't do this."

"I'm sorry..i love you too,i always will,a million years from now,i'll still be loving you Babydoll,but you've crushed my heart. Stay away from me!" With that,he cried uncontrolably,and ran off. She fell onto the hard sidewalk.

"Rebecca,are you ok?"Jerrod asked.

"NO! Zac just left me!!!"

"I'm SO sorry...i shoudln't have done that back there."

"It's ok. I have to go. Bye Jerrod."

"Bye Rebecca." She ran as fast as she could to the hotel.

"What's wrong Sweetie?" her grandad asked.

"Granpa,Zac..Zac..he,he broke up with me!"

"Why?"

"He saw me with another guy,and got mad,and he had the right too,but i can't live with out him." She fell again,to the floor,this time,everything went black.

Zac threw himslef into the grass. He was sobbing so hard he couldn't see straight.

"How could she do this to me?!"he screamed. He felt as if his heart had been ripped into peices and stomped on,by the love of his life. The horrible thing was,no matter what happened,he still loved her,with all of his heart. Picking himself up,he walked back to the hotel where the Hanson clan was staying for 2 days.

Rebecca woke up the next morning on the couch,she thought it had all been a dream,untill her grandma came in.

"Zac called,he said that he wanted the necklace back."

"NO!!!" Rebecca crawled to the phone and dialed the # to the Hanson room in the hotel across town.

"Zac!"

"Rebecca,i want the necklace back."

"Zac,no,please,anything but that. Please,let me keep the necklace,please. I'm begging you. Give me something to remember your love by."

"Ok,fine. Keep the damn necklace!" He slammed the phone down and sank to the floor in tears. He grabbed a picture out of his bag. It was a picture of them the day it snowed,and beside it,and picture of them on Valentine's at the park.

Rebecca looked out the window,she couldn't beleive she had just done that. She broke Zac's heart,and she loved him,she would die for him. The day passes,as did the next few days. The Hansons were already back in the USA,and Rebecca and her grandparents had just arrived at the Tulsa airport. Rebecca walked in her house after saying her good-byes to her grandparents. Her parents were saying good-bye now.

"Honey,i heard about Zac and you,"her mother said,walking into her room.

"Mom,it's not far,it's just not far."

"Rebecca! You were kissing another guy!"

"I know,but it was like,an out of body experience! I couldn't stop,i wanted Zac,he kept going through my mind,it was so weird. I don't know how to tell you."

"I know,i know,but you have to understand,he isn't you,he does't know how you felt. And the blunt fact is,you were kissing another guy."

"Mom,i love him,i truthfully love him,i don't want to live without him. Correction,i can't live without him."

Zac was looking out his bedroom window,into Rebecca's. Tears were streaming down her face,and her mom was holding her tightly.

"I love you Babydoll,"he whispered. The phone inturrupted his thoughts. Before answering,he noticed Rebecca was gone.

"Hello?"

"Zac! Please don't hang up!"

"I told you to stay out of my life!!!" He slammed the phone down and cried. The phone rang again.

"ZAC! LISTEN PLEASE!"

"No,you listen to me! I have ONE question for you!"

"What?"

"How could you? How could you do this to me if you love you so much?"

"I..I..it was like,i was dreaming of kissing you,it was like a dream,i can't expain."

"Rebecca,i understand that you never meant for it to happen,but it did happen. And i just want you to know one thing...I love you with every single peice of my heart,i would give my life for you,but i can't be with you."

"Zac..Zac..don't,don't leave me please..i need you." They were both crying.

"Bye Babydoll..I love you."

"I love you too Zaccy." He hung up,and sunk onto the stairs.
