It happened on Sunday morn'....

Jackson held her, his hand continuing to rub her back. He wasn't sure what else he could do.

Lou cried for at least an hour, perhaps more. She cried because she was scared of the world without sounds. She cried because of the accident, Jackson, Jarred, the emptyness, the loneliness. She cried until she had no tears left to cry before her sobs finally started to quiet, still clinging to him.

As she calmed Jackson hesitated for a moment before taking the hand that wasn't rubbing her back and placing it under her chin, wiping away tears with his thumb.

Lou looked up at him and blushed slightly, her eyes sad. "Sorry," she mouthed and looked down sheepishly. She was still sniffling, trying to get her sobs to quiet, her breaths still catching on unseen tears.

"You're fine." Jackson murmured looking at her and hesitating only a moment longer before leaning down and pressing his lips lightly to hers.

Lou froze, looking at him shocked. What was she suppose to do? She looked around frantically, trying to figure out how to react. After the first initial moments of shock, she relaxed slightly and kissed him back, her breath still catching slightly on unseen tears.

Jackson pulled back after a moment, searching her eyes with his. "Was that okay?"

Lou watched him and gave a slight nod, still having a shocked, deer in the headlights look.

Zoey smiled at Jaden. "So, how are you?"

Angela smiled and said "Its just Zoey not wanting us to know bout her and Jaden." she laughed softly.

Jaden chuckled and said "Honestly? I was worried sick bout you and Angie..."

Gabriel thought for a moment. "I'm not sure though."

Zoey smiled. "Well, Angie is fine and I'm feeling alright."

"What do you mean your not sure?" Angela said stopping and looking at him confused.

"Good." Jaden chuckled. "Im guessing there wasnt that much brain damage." Jaden teased her.

Gabriel shook his head. "Zo seemed like she was telling the truth. You know that I can spot her lies a mile away."

Zoey smiled more and looked at him. She wondered why Angela had asked about them being a thing...

"True..." Angela smiled and nodded. "But I have known Zoe for a along time and well... Never mind."

Jaden watched Zoey and saw why he had fallin for her. She was beautiful and he knew that he loved her from the minute he had laid eyes on her.

Gabriel nodded. "What?"

Zoey looked at Jaden and smiled. "What?" she asked softly.

"I think Jaden loves her and she loves Jaden..." Angela said.

"Your....beautiful." Jaden said with a smile.

Gabriel smiled. "Wouldn't surprise me."

Zoey smiled and blushed. She looked into his eyes and felt her stomach do a flip. "Thank you. You're handsome."

"Me either." Angela said with a smile. "Its like me and you."Angela whispered pulling Gabe closer to her.

"Thank you." Jaden whispered and he kissed heer forehead.

Gabriel smiled and wrapped his arms around her. "Yes it is."

Zoey smiled when he kissed her forehead. "You're welcome. What was that for?"

Angela smiled and sighed. "Why did that stupid crash have to happen?"

"Because...." Jaden said with a smile on his face.

Gabriel looked at her. "Because maybe it was meant to bring us together? I mean, what would have happened otherwise?"

Zoey smiled at him. "Because is not a reason Jaden. Now, what was it for?"

"Because of Zoey and Jaden." Angela whispered not beliving her own words.

Jaden chuckled and shrugged "It is for me."

Gabriel looked at her and raised an eyebrow.

Zoey smiled slightly. "Alright. What is behind that because, hm?"

"He likes her... she likes him..."

Jaden chuckled and kissed her cheek. "No reason."

Gabriel smiled slightly and pulled her in his arms. "It's the same way for us."

"You keep kissing me. That is not normal Jaden. Now, what's up?"

"I like that." Angela said brushing her lips against his jaw.

"Zoe... I have... well. I kinda... always.. have... liked you." Jaden said brushing his hand through his hair.
