Chapter 6
Forbidden, but beautiful
(Written by ZaneWalker)

Zane woke up to the sound of faint beeping, and the warm feeling of someone holding his hand.

The bright sunlight made his closed eyes squeeze shut. The familiar sounds of his brothers can be heard as he regained his hearing.

The events of yesterday came back to him. So much happened, did the others still care for him? He practically went against his brother. He felt terrible.

Zane felt more movement on his hands, and curiosity took over. Zane slowly opened his eyes to see his brothers, Sensei, and Nya.

"Zane, I'm delighted that you are awake." Sensei greeted. Zane gave him a warm smile. It was nice to have him back.

"I'm glad you're alright bro." Lloyd said as he patted Zane's shoulder.

"Thank you."

"Well look who's up." Jay jokingly taunted as Zane set eyes on him.

Zane quickly sat up and used his free hand to hold up in surrender.

"Jay, I'm so sorry. I never meant to go against you brother, I-" Zane was cut off by Jay.

Jay put his hands up, "I'm not going to hurt you Zane. I wanted to say that I'm sorry. I never should've yelled at you. I don't choose who Nya wants to date," both looked at Nya who blushed and continued to hold Zane's hand. "I know Kai here doesn't like it as much as I do, but if you're both happy then I'm happy."

"C'mon guys, lets give Zane some time to rest. He's had a long day." Cole said as the others were becoming uncomfortable in such a small room. He stopped as mostly everyone was out. "Are you coming Nya?"

Zane looked at Nya, "I think I want her to stay with me. Thanks Cole."

Cole winked at Zane before laughing quietly to himself and closing the door.

Nya looked up at Zane. "Zane I-" He quickly moved over and patted a spot on his hospital bed for her to sit down. She blushed at his charming gestures. "I was so worried. I never thought Jay would be so mad. I always knew he liked me, but" She got quiet. "I always liked you..."

Both of their eyes met.

"I've always felt the same way. If Jay wasn't so in love with you, I would've made the first move months ago. I couldn't go behind my brother...but I'm so happy you feel the same way."

Nya turned and laid down beside Zane. She faced him and cupped his cold cheek.

"I think I love you."

She could see Zane's eyes sparkle.

"I love you too."

Nya leaned in, her warm lips and his cold ones made contact. It was like an explosion of so many feelings that were held back for so long. It was amazing.

Jay looked through the small window to see his brother and his first love kissing. It tore his heart, but he knew that he couldn't control Nya.

Cole peeked through the small window and looked back to see Jay's pained expression.

"There are plenty more fish in the sea Jay. Looks like these two finally found each other."

Jay smiled at Cole and they both walked back towards the others.

Zane and Nya will spend the rest of their lives together, no matter what anyone says. True love can be forbidden, but it can also be beautiful.
