You and I, we don't wanna be like them

We can make it 'til the end

Nothing can come between you and I

Not even the Gods above

Can separate the two of us

No, nothing can come between you and I

Oh, you and I

"You & I": One Direction

After another three days, Zane finally got discharged. Everyone was beyond relieved when we saw him throwing fists and cursing. That meant he was alright.

We were currently heading to the parking lot to get Zane's car and drive to his apartment.

"How come your car is here?" Kaden asked.

"I drove it," I said.

"You drove HIS car? Zane let someone else drive his car?" Kaden asked putting on a dramatic shocked face.

"Well it was a life and death situation and there was no other way to get to the hospital," I said shrugging.

"KatKat is not just someone, in fact, she'll drive us to the apartment," Zane said giving me a wink.

"What? No way Zane, I'm not driving that monster again." I worried. His car was way too different than mine and I wasn't used to such a fast car. It was already a challenge the first time.

"Come on KatKat, you'll be my personal driver for the week, you might as well get used to it," Zane said and I gave him a deadly glare.

"We never discussed anything about me being your driver"

"We just did" He gave me a grin and jumped into the passenger's seat.

"You coming Angel?"

I looked over at Kaden and Jake and questioned who would Zane let drive. I threw the keys to Jake and then run and sat in the backseat.

Zane turned around to see me, shocked by what I did.

"I told you I'm not driving your car again" I broke eye contact and looked over the window. From the corner of my eye, I could see Zane shaking his head but smiling.

Kaden took the seat next to me and soon Jake drove us away. They talked about random stuff and I kind of zoned out. I was tired, very actually.

After about 15 minutes we arrived in front of a new apartment complex. Seeing the building now I realized that Zane lived outside the town, in the rich area. This didn't make me feel well for some reason. It was a reminder of how poor I am and how little I can offer him.

Jake parked the car and we all got out. They had their own parking lot. An underground one. Looking around I spotted a blue Camaro and I immediately fell in love with it.

*(Zane's blue Camaro, picture not mine)*

"KatKat, you're using that in love eyes for another thing that is not me, that's already the third time damn it" Zane joked seeing me droll over the car.

"How could I not? Do you see that beauty?" I asked still my eyes glued to the car.

"Yeah, that beauty is mine" I looked at him and he had a proud look on his face. Cocky much?

"You own Bumblebee?" I asked amused.

"Bumblebee?" Zane was confused but Kaden got my joke and began to laugh.

"I'm not sure we can be friends anymore ZeZe, we have nothing in common..."I trailed off and gave him a hurt look. "But Kaden and I have a lot more in common. He understands me better if you know what I mean" I gave Kaden a complicit look and he winked at me in understanding.

"Right ZeZe, Kat, and I are more suitable" Kaden joked and I could hear Jake laughing in the back.

"You're not allowed to call me that," Zane said giving Kaden a deadly glare.

"Oh, but she can?" Kaden faked being offended.

"Damn right she can." Zane defended.

"Anyway, Kat and I are going to have a Transformers marathon since none of you got the joke here" Kaden placed an arm around my shoulders and pulled me towards the elevator.

"Sofia, hey, I'm calling you because your husband here is touching something, it isn't his, and..." Kaden stiffened and immediately dropped his arm. He turned around fast but then relaxed when saw that Zane was faking the call.

"Serves you right," Zane said walking past Kaden and placing his arm around my shoulders.

"Now KatKat, let's get inside and see who that damn Bumblebee is so that I can take notes, again. Looks like I have to keep taking notes around you." Zane joked and I softly elbowed him making sure I didn't do it hard to open any of his wounds.

He laughed and we all got inside the elevator.

I didn't mind Zane's jokes or the arm that was over my shoulders. I always felt calm around him, and I still don't really comprehend why, but I like how it makes me feel.

Is it weird that I feel complete around him?

In the three days that we spent at the hospital after he woke up, I got to know a lot more about him and it was refreshing to see him open up to me in that way.

After he told me about his job, he seemed a lot more carefree and he would even make jokes about it. Sometimes he would be cocky about it and say things like 'where are you going to find a better catch than me?' or 'your best friend here is awesome'.

I was aware that many of his jokes were not friendly at all. I wasn't stupid. He would flirt with me whenever he had the chance and I didn't correct him or make him stop. Somehow it didn't make me feel uncomfortable. I'd say that I liked the attention and the more he did it the easier it was to joke with him.

We got to his apartment and as soon as he opened the door my mouth dropped. The place screamed luxury all over.

*(This is how I imagine the living room, picture not mine)*

"Damn it, Angel, there you go again. This is the fourth time." Zane joked but I didn't pay attention to him. I was too engrossed in the view.

"See? She doesn't look at me like that!" I heard laugher, probably from Kaden and Jake.

"Are you jealous over your own furniture?" A very amused Jake said.

Zane shook his head smiling. "You don't get it, boys, first the waterfall, then Loki, my car earlier and now my furniture" Zane explained pretending to look hurt.

Kaden and Jake laughed at his ridiculous explanation and I just rolled my eyes at him.

"Oh, come on, it's my first time seeing luxury and you don't let me enjoy it" I defended myself.

"That's because I want all your attention to be mine, I'm that greedy" Zane said now a few inches away from me looking directly into my eyes. How did he get in front of me so fast?

Kaden cleared his voice. "Who's hungry? You know we're leaving in two hours".

Zane looked away from me with a cocky smile and then got his phone to order pizza.

We chatted for a while and then it was time to say goodbye to Kaden and Jake. I hugged them both and promised to keep in contact. They said I should visit them one day and they'll present me Elena and Sofia.

I agreed to that even when I knew that would never happen. But I couldn't bring myself to say no when they looked that excited.

"Have a safe trip!" I waved from the front door. Zane only waved with a big smile on his face. Was he that happy that they were leaving?

"Why do you look so happy?" I asked when his grin wouldn't leave his face.

"Cause now I have you all for myself. I told you I'm very greedy!" He took a few steps until he was in front of me. I didn't step back. Zane promised to take it slow in this friendship thing and I believed him.

"Can I get my recharge, Angel?"

I didn't have to ask what he wanted. He's been asking that since he woke up. Several times I might add.

I opened my arms and in a second he wrapped his arms around my waist tightly.

"Does this not hurt?" I was afraid his wounds would open.

"No Angel, it does the opposite. Your hugs are like medicine" I blushed and I was glad my face was pressed against his chest so he couldn't see my red face.

"You know, I'm pretty sure friends don't hug that often" I teased.

"We're special friends" He explained.

"Special?"

"Yeah, You and I don't follow rules" We both laughed at that.

I'm letting myself loose around him too much and I'm scared. Because whenever I let myself say and do whatever I want around him I want more. Like this hug right now. I don't want to break free and I already think about when is going to be the next.

The more time I spent with him the more I wanted us to not be just friends. The thought of that terrified me because my insecurities were still there.

How can I love someone when I can't even love myself?

Zane was smiling down at me with his Zane smile and I knew right that moment that I lost.

I like Zane Wilder...
