  "Ready to go?" I asked as I leaned on the doorframe to his hospital room. He looked up at me, grinning.
                          
  "Yep." He smiled. I walked in, sitting next to him. He put his arm around me.
                          
  "Great." I said. He looked down at me and I looked into his eyes.
                          
  "Zoey." He said. 
                          
  "Hmm?" I asked, getting up to grab his bags.
                          
  "Why do you give me butterflies?" He asked me. I felt myself blush as i stared at him.
                          
  "Why do you make my heart stop?" I asked. He smirked, grabbing his crutches, moving closer to me.
                          
 "Because I'm so amazingly handsome." He smirked at me. I rolled my eyes, getting his things.
                          
  "Yes. Let's go, butt." I chuckled. I laughed, following me from his room. It was Tuesday, and Brody was released from the hospital. I took off of school to get him home seen as his mom had work and his brother was in school. We got to the car as he climbed into the passenger seat. I threw is things in the trunk, and got into the drivers seat.
                          
  "Are you going to school tomorrow?" I asked him. He shrugged.
                          
  "I don't know. If I do, everyone will bombard me with questions. If I don't, everyone will understand." He said. "You?" I asked glancing at me. I smirked at him, taking his hand that was on the center console.
                          
  "I do what you do." I said. I smiled, kissing my knuckles.
                          
  "I stay." He whispered. I nodded, pulling up to his house. I helped him out, helping him to his living room before getting his bags. I brought them in and out them in his room. I came out and sat next to him on the couch. He smiled, putting his arm around me. 
                          
  "Why are you so cute?" I smirks. I shrugged, looking into his eyes. 
                          
  "Because I am." I smirked. He let out a hearty chuckle, pulling me closer to him. His body vibrated and I felt electricity spiral through me. My heart palpitated in my chest. I took a deep breath, taking in his scent. He had a musty smell combined with the smell ace cologne to try and mask the hospital smell.

  Baley was blowing up my phone, asking if she wanted to get together tonight. I was ignoring her because Brody and I were having a good time together. 
                          
  "Hey. When's your birthday?" Brody asked me while we were watching friends. 
                          
  "It's March 4." I did. He smiled, taking my hand.
                          
  "Mine is January 1." He smirked. I smiled up at him, grinning.
                          
  "New years baby." I smiled. He shrugged, kissing my lips.
                          
  "What was that for?" I asked once he pulled away.
                          
  "Just because I love you." He grinned. I sighed putting my head on his shoulder.
                          
  "Why do you love me? I'm the nerd no one likes." I sighed. He let out a long breath, lifting my head.
                          
  "You are way more than a nerd to me. And more than a hot cheerleader. You are the perfect girl who makes me laugh in the worst times." He grinned. I smiled, resting my head on his shoulder closing my eyes.
                          
  "Thank you." I smiled. "I love you too." I said. He let out a long sigh, holding me tightly. I heard my phone ringing the signature ring tone. I finally gave up, and answered.
                          
  "Yes?"
                          
  "Where are you! Why haven't you answered!"
                          
  "I'm at Brody's house."
                          
  "No excuse is enough!"
                          
  "Ba!! Chill. He just got out today. I wanted to be with him."
                          
  "But y'all weren't talking."
