OMP (lol!), I haven't written for agesssssss. Sooooooooooooo sorry. With my training, and all my homework I am all caught up in teen life! Lol!

Note: Let me just tell you now; clubs are actually quite heavy when you throw them high enough and they hurt a lot. :D I don't have anything else to say so here we go..

Zero.

Crashing to the floor in mid walkover I open my mouth to speak but before I can say a single word, the clubs come hurtling down one after the the other.

Clunk.

The club lands square in the middle of my head and feeling rather dazed, I begin to laugh hysterically, I barely notice him running over and before he can reach me -

Clunk.

My world begins to spin, and for some reason I stop laughing and feel this is the appropriate time to start singing 'Can't Touch This'. My mood changes again as I slump sideways give a small sob and my head hits the floor.

'Nina! Hey!! Nina!' A male voice is saying my name. Hmm.. sounds like Zero. I hate it when he comes and wakes me up. I am going to have to talk to him about waking me up so early. I mean, it's not like 10 more minutes later is going to hurt is it?

'Okay, 10 more minutes sir bossy boots' I mumble into something no where near as comfy as my feather pillow I am accustomed to at home.

'Earth to Nina! You just blacked out! You really freaked me out; laughing, singing and crying!?' The voice says again.

Wait a second!

I open my eyes abruptly and find myself staring into the face of Zero.

Oh my pineapple he is H-O-T!!

I scream, 'AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! IT'S YOU! YOU'RE BACK! I BLACKED OUT! YOU'RE BACK! WHY ARE YOU HERE? HOW DID YOU FIND ME? AND WHY ARE YOU TOTALLY HOTTER THAN EVER?'

Oops.

I didn't quite mean to say the last bit.

He grins at me, 'Why thank you! I can say the same for you though! I didn't recognise you there!'

Ahhhh!

I am to stressed! I can guess a panicky look came over my face, which, by the way, was beetroot red.

I roll out of his arms and crouch down facing the other way. I need to calm down, this is all happening to fast! He totally caught me off guard. This is not going to plan! But now he has seen it all! Now he knows I am a fake what is he going to do? Tell everyone?And what am I going to do about the 'missed phone calls' and the abandoned emails. He can't find out I am a fraud! Not Zero of all people!

Before I have the chance to do anything I find myself being hugged from behind.

I begin to speak, 'I -'

'Nina...' He interrupts my speech, his voice is soft and serious now, 'I...I've missed you.' He turns me around to look at him. I look at my feet but he lifts my chin and looks me in the eye. 'I just want to know if you feel the same way...when you stop contacting me, I thought that you really had found someone else. I...I just want you to know that, even if you have found someone else, that you are and always will be my number one. Never forget that.' He looks strained as he whispers this.

Now I realise what damage my foolishness has caused. I was so concerned about myself that it never occurred to me that Zero might feel the same way about me. That me being immature was causing him this much pain. I always know there was a side of me that was sly and deceitful – surely my faked perfection was more than enough to prove that – but I never intended to be that way with Zero. Not the one person who was my number one. He was all I had left. He went away when I couldn't bear it and because of that he got a stab in the back for it. Great Nina. Just great.

I am so disgusted with myself. I cover my face up with my hands and cry openly into them. I didn't care any more. If I really was this bad then what use was there in pretending?

'Nina, what's wrong? Why are you crying?'He tries to prise my hands away from my face but I am having none of it. 'Is it my fault? Should I go?'

'No.' I manage, between sobs. 'It's all my fault. I thought you were to good for me and you didn't need me. I was deluded. I thought it was best if I moved on too, which is what you clearly seemed to be doing.' I bring my hands away from my face and gaze into his understanding eyes,'What you left, I saw how much I relied on you and I pledged from that moment on that I would be independent and in doing so I haven't been able to truly trust anybody ever since. Then I saw your car on the street and I was scared. I thought that if you came back my past would start to unravel. Now that your here I realise just how much I missed you and how much I need you. But it's all my fault. I brought it on myself.'

By now I was staring into his eyes with confidence in what I was saying. 'Yet I promise you, I haven't laid my eyes on another man since you left. There is no doubt about that.'

His face floods with relief, concern, and happiness,'I think you simply made a mistake and in doing so you learned from it. It was my fault for leaving you.'

'No.' I say, 'it was me. My fault.'

'No!' Zero says 'I'm just happy your safe.'

'Huh? What do you mean safe?' I reply looking into his eyes. They are suddenly filled with worry, and I shuffle round to face him properly.

'Well...' He starts.

Kind of random huh? Well anyway, sorry it' s so short, I just wanted to get something up :) Next time!
