Rebecca hadn't been out of the house in 3 days. She saw no point in it,everything she did or saw made her think of Zac. And she couldn't take that. There was a loud knock on her bedroom door.

"Come in."

"Hey girl!"Katherine smiled.

"Hi."

"Ya know what?"

"What?"

"You need to get your sorry ass out of this bed! You haven't had a shower in like 4 days!"

"Katherine,i don't feel like it. And if you came to lecture me,then leave."

"Most people would leave,but i'm you friend Rebecca,and i'm gonna help you through this."

"Kat,i miss him so much." She started to cry.

"I know,but he'll be back."

"How do you know?"

"I just know,trust me. Now get your ass in the shower!"

"Ok,ok,chill." Rebecca dragged herslef out of bed and puched the tears out of her eyes. After a shower,she went into her room and got dressed. Then,she ran downstairs to see Katherine.

"Ok,I took a shower."

"Good. I've gotta go now. Talk to you later."

"Bye." Rebecca put her Docs on and grabbed her jacket. She went to sit on the front porch and listen to the soft rain.

****************************The Hanson Household**********************

"Zachary,what's wrong?"Diana asked,walking into the boys' room.

"I don't know."

"Yes you do. It's probably this messy room." She picked up some items and sat them in the hallway.

"No Mom,it's not he room."

"The weather?" She knew that it was Rebecca,but she was trying to stay away from that as long as possible. She hadn't seen her 13-year-old son cry very much,at all,but everytime he talked of what happened,he cryed on and on.

"Nope. Guess again."

"Zac,is it Rebecca?"

"Yeah,yeah it is."

"Honey,i don't understand,if you want her so bad,take her back."

"It's not just that easy you know. She hurt me. Mom,she was kissing another guy!"

"I know,but let me tell you a story. At the end of mine and your dad's junior year in high school,i went to San Fransisco to sing with the girls' choir. I was gone for about 2 weeks because we also sang in some small towns,and did some site-seeing. Anyways,the same thing happened to me. I missed your dad so much that i kissed another guy,dreaming that it was Walker. It was so weird,and when i fessed up to him,he did what you did. And it was exactly like she described it! Zachary,i know you're hurt,extreamly hurt,but we made it. And i see that same look in your eyes when you're with her,that was in your father's eyes when he was with me,and look at us now."

"You mean that Mom?" His voice was cracking slightly.

"Yeah,i do. But only you can make the decision."

"Thanks Mom." He gave her a hug then stared at the phone. As she walked out of the room,he glanced out the window. Rebecca was on the front porch.

"I'll go see her,I have too,"he whispered. As he grabbed his jacket,the rain started pounding.

*******************************Rebecca's*******************************

Rebecca was staring at the sky,the rain was falling very heavily now. She saw a figure come out of the Hanson house. It was Zac. He continued to walk across the street,and stopped once he was a few feet into her driveway. She knew by his smile what he wanted. She jumped up and ran down the steps,and into his arms.

"I'm so sorry,"she whispered,"I'm so sorry."

"Sshhh...you've already apologized,it's my turn now."

"What do you mean?"

"I'm sorry Rebecca. I wasn't thinking straight. I need you,i really need you." She smiled at him,then pressed her lips to his.

"Ya know,i can see through that white shirt since it's soaking wet."

"What a shame." They kissed again,and he held her close.

"Tell me 2 things,"he started.

"What?"

"Since he was French..did he French kiss you?"

"No,he didn't."

"Ok,and 2nd,who kisses better?"

"You do."

"Seriously,or are you just saying that?"

"No,seriously. You kiss alot better than him. He almost bit my lip off." He kissed her again,and soon they were all wrapped up in each other.

"Looks like somebody made up,"Amy teased walking up behind Zac.

"Hey Aim-Aim,"Zac said.

"Hi. Back with your girl?" He just nodded.

"Good,it was too weird having you too apart,"Ike continued.

"It's called temporary insanity,"Rebecca smiled.

"You bet babe,"Zac concluded,"Now c'mon,we're all soaked. Let's go in." The 4 walked to the door,they were dripping wet with water.

"Wait,i'll get you all towels,"her mom said. After getting towels,Zac followed Rebecca upstairs. She grabbed two tee-shirts for Ike and Amy,and some oh Amy's jeans that she had left,and through them off the balcony to them. Then she went back to her room where Zac was sitting on the floor. Laying down,she put her head in his lap.

"I love you,"she whispered.

"I love you too."

"I'm gonna change,just a minute." She jumped up and grabbed some clothes,and got Zac a shirt.

"Damn it,my jeans are still wet,"he whined.

"They'll dry,at least change shirts so that you don't get sick." He changed into the tee-shirt,and she changed her cords and shirt.

"Honey,can i come in?"her mom asked from outside the door.

"Just a minute,"she said,"Zac,get under the bed,hurry." He squished under her bed,and she sat in front of him.

"Come in."

"The cookies are done. Where's Zac?"

"He's changing in the bathroom."

"Oh,ok." Her mom left,and Zac got out from under the bed.

"That was close,"he said.

"Yeah,i know. You wanna go get some cookies baby?"

"In a minute,"he whispered,kissing her neck.

"Zac,not now."

"Please,it's been like a week."

"I know,but i'm hungry."

"So am i,but just not for cookies."

"You are perverted you know that?"she half smiled.

"No i'm not. Just very physical."

"That's for sure."

He continued kissing her,then ran his hand over the outside of her thigh.

"Zac,no. We're going to eat,and don't even give me that puppy dog face."

"Why not?"

"Because you look too innocent doing that."

"I am innocent."

"You wish buddy. C'mon." She grabbed his hand and they walked into the kitchen.

"What took so long?"Ike teased.

"Shut up Isaac,"Rebecca said,trying hard not to laugh at Amy,who was making faces.

"Amy,what are you doing?"Zac asked giggiling.

"Making faces."

"Why?"

"I truly have no freakin idea." Rebecca and Zac joined them at the table.

"Zac,have you told Rebecca about debut week?"Isaac asked.

"No."

"What about debut week?"Rebecca asked.

"Well,i was planning on telling you when we were alone or something. But anyways...next week we have to go on a promo thing,and go on all the talk shows to promote the new CD that's released tommorrow."

"So you're leaving?!"

"Yeah. BUT...you,Kat,and Aim-Aim are coming with us! AND...you get to be on TV with us!"

"OMIGOSH!"She jumped up and down,then hugged Zac,then jumped up and down and spun in circles. The other 3 were dying laughing at her little performance.

"So,you're excited?"Zac asked.

"YES! Do i really get to be on TV?!"

"Yep!"

"This is SOOO cool!" She danced around again,then finaly sat in Zac's lap.

"We leave tommorrow,"Ike added. She spit her milk all over him.

"Tommorrow!?"

"Yeah,and thanks for the milk." Again,laughter at the table.

"Sorry Ikey."

"It's ok. You better start packing."

"Yep,i'd better."

That night,Rebecca packed her things. She was told that they would go shopping in the cities too. She laid her teddy-bear that Zac had gotten her on Valentine's ontop of he suit case. When she was younger,she had a whole dresser full of stuffed animals. The next morning,someone was shaking her at 6am.

"Wake up Babe,we have to go right now,"Zac coaxed.

"What?"

"You're alarm didn't go off,we have to leave,now. The other girls are here."

"Omigosh! Get my suitcase,and my bear,i'll put some clothes on and be right down."

"Ok." She threw on her jeans and a sweater,then put her make-up on and brushed her hair quickly. Throwing her make-up and brush into her carry on backpack,she ran downstairs.

"Bye Mom. Bye Dad. Love you both!" She gave them hugs and got into the Hanson. Seeing no place to sit,she sat in Zac's lap,ever so happily.

"I cannot wait to get to New York!" Katherine squealed.

"I know!"Amy smiled.

"Shopping!"Rebecca added.

"Did you bring money?"Zac asked,straight faced.

"No,you begged me not too. Why?"

"We don't have any."

"Zac,do you live to TRY to play tricks on me?"

"No,i live to...do something else to you." He whispered the last part in her ear. She looked at him with a scolding look.

"What?"he smiled innocently.

"Your little brothers and sisters are in the van too."

"I know." They arrived at the airport and soon enough,boarded thier plane. A few hours later,they were in New York. Zac kissed Rebecca and put his arm around her waist as they got off the plane.
