Wade was already running late for his date with Vivian when he walked out his door in a rush. Looking across the pond he was confused to see Zoe getting out of her car, headed straight for the front door. Forgetting about his date he headed straight to the carriage house. Things only got worse when he spotted boxes in Zoe's car. He picked a box up walking to the door. Zoe wasn't watching where she was going due to the fact she had tears streaming down her face. Wade was trying to looking over the box and walk up the steps when they collided with each other sending the contents of the box to scatter all over the ground.

"Wade what are you doing here?" Zoe yelled. The last person she wanted to deal with tonight was Wade. In some way this had to be his fault.

"ME?" Wade yelled. He quickly tried to get his anger in check. "What are you doing here?" Wade shot back pushing himself off the ground.

"I asked you first." Zoe huffed dusting the dirt off her clothes.

"So mature Zoe. You know what? Forget it." Wade yelled throwing his hands in the air turning to walk off. He knew how useless it was gonna be when he walked over. But he felt as if he had to try.

"Joel left." Zoe mumbled loud enough for Wade to hear. Wade turned around looking at the very fragile Zoe standing in front of him.

"What happened Zoe?" Wade asked truly concerned for the woman he once loved.

"Don't you have a date with Vivian?" Zoe asked starting to pick her belongs up off the ground. She didn't wanna get into the details with Wade at the moment. Wade softly cursed under his breath. Screw it he thought. He was already late, he would call her later and explain what happened.

"Things came up." Wade replied walking to get a box out of the car. "I'll help you get your stuff in the house and after you can explain to me what happened with Joel."

"Wade you don't have to do that." Zoe tried to protest.

"We're friends Z, and you really need a friend right now." Wade wasn't going to take no for an answer.

"Ok." Zoe whispered getting everything off the ground. She picked the box up taking it inside. Within a few minutes all of the boxes were scattered around the carriage house. Wade and Zoe sat on the couch a pizza sat on the coffee table; neither one of them made a move for a slice.

"You're gonna have to talk Zoe, I can't read your mind." Zoe smiled for a second before it faded. She turned her body to face him. It would feel good to get everything that had happened out there. She told Lavon a few details but not everything.

Zoe placed a quick kiss on Joel's lips sitting down on the bed with him. Zoe looked around to see Joel's bags packed and by the door. She smiled turning to look at him.

"I thought the house wouldn't be ready for a few more weeks. This is great." Zoe was over the moon happy to be moving out of the Whippoorwill Blossom Bed and Breakfast.

"Zoe the house isn't ready. In fact it's back on the market." Joel told her bring Zoe's mood to one of anger and confusion.

"What? Why?" Zoe asked on the verge of yelling. Joel had moved enough to take Zoe's hands in his.

"I thought I could fit in here Zoe but I can't. I miss everything about the city. New York is my home not Bluebell. I'm moving back and I really want you to come with me."

"Bluebell is my home Joel. I can't leave this place." Zoe took a deep breath closing her eyes.

"I know Zoe." He replied in a harsher tone. "I really thought I could get over your love for Wade, but I can't." Joel snapped getting off the bed.

"I guess not, even though nothing is going on between Wade and myself. He's my friend." Zoe yelled standing up. "Good-bye Joel." It hurt to be losing him but not as much as it did when she walked away from Wade over a year ago. She wasn't going to force him to stay or fight him on this. Nothing would make him stay and nothing would make her go.

"Bye Zoe." Joel replied kissing her forehead. Warm tears raced down her cheeks as Joel walked out of her life for good.

Zoe let her tears pour out, time passing her. Despite everything she had loved Joel. There was no way they could make a long distance relationship work. Not when neither one of them could ever live where the other called home. New York may have been Zoe's home well growing up but now it was just a city over run with people and smog. Bluebell was her home now and she couldn't imagine leaving ever again. Feeling her tears dry up Zoe walked into the bathroom to fix her appearance. Walking out the door Zoe slid some sunglasses on to hide her red puffy eyes. She soon found herself at Lavon's needing a friend.

"Big Z what's going on?" Lavon asked pulling the door open. Zoe went into rant mood telling Lavon about Joel leaving her and Bluebell. "I'm sorry Zoe." Lavon pulled her in for a hug. He of all people knew how bad it felt when you lost someone. "Lynly left so if you want the carriage house back it's all yours." This was the one thing to brighten her darkened night.

Wade held Zoe as she cried into his chest. He never was good at comforting someone. He gently rubbed her back holding her to him. His thoughts were filled of Zoe instead of his girlfriend Vivian. He wanted Zoe to be ok. Feeling her body relax, her sobbing slowly started to vanish and her breathing had evened out. Wade kissed the top of her head. He carefully got up laying Zoe down on the couch. He looked around for a blanket placing it over her. With Zoe out and taken care of for the night Wade headed out to explain things to Vivian.

"Wade you best have a real good excuse as to why you are 3 hours late." Vivian seethed stepping out on the porch. Wade figured it would be better to explain things in person instead of over the phone.

"I got caught up at work, then when I was leaving my place to come here, Zoe needed me. She needed a friend." Wade wasn't going to go into detail about why. That was Zoe's business to tell.

"You're lucky you're good-looking Wade. Next time call me." She lightly hit him. "I was worried sick." Wade pulled her close pressing his lips against hers. "I would like to have you stay the night but..." Wade cut her off with a kiss.

"I know Viv. I'll see you tomorrow." Wade replied kissing her one last time before heading to his car. He really wanted to be there when Zoe woke up in the morning. He would call Wanda and have her open in the morning.

Just a little something that started to bug me today and I had to write it out. I'm so ready for break ups and for the long-awaited Zade to return to our screens. I don't really care how they break up on the show as long as it happens but this is just my own little take on it. Let me know what you all think about this one so far.
