Chapter One

Zoey is sitting on the beach just looking out at the sparkling sea. The sand feels soft and comforting after what just happened. It was February 9, 2008. The day of the semi-formal, her last semi-formal. As she felt the waves crash up against her feet and ankles she heard a familiar voice say something to her.

"Zoey, look I'm sorry I'm late. I know I was supposed to be here an hour ago I just had something I had to do." Said the bushy haired boy.

"Its fine Chase but, please, call next time if your gonna be late. That's all I ask of you." Zoey responded. Zoey then took her gaze off of the beautiful sea in front of her and looked up at her best friend.

"What you don't want to know why I was late?" Chase said playfully.

"If you want to tell me then you'll tell me. If not then well you won't. I'm not going to force you." Zoey said very calmly.

"Zoe? Is everything alright? You seem a bit off." Chase placed his hand on her shoulder.

"I'm fine." Zoey said without any emotion.

"Really?" Chase knew that something wasn't right, he could tell just by looking her in the eyes. He loved to stare at her eyes. They were so full of emotion; they always would tell if something was wrong, if she was happy, whatever she was feeling.

"No. Alright? I'm not alright. I just heard something that I never wanted to hear. I knew I would have to hear it at some point but… you'd still never want to hear it." Zoey said with tears streaming down her cheeks.

"Oh Zoey." Chase said pulling Zoey into his arms.

"What's wrong Zoe? Maybe I can help if I find out what's wrong." Chase asked as he was stroking her blonde hair. Zoey pulled away but didn't let go of Chase.

"I just got a call from my dad. He said that my mom and my grandma had been in a car accident. My grandma was automatically killed and my mom is in a coma." Zoey said really fast and then pulled away from Chase altogether. Zoey put her hands over her eyes to try to cover the tears. Chase pulled her hands away and wiped away the tears.

"Zoe, you know I'm always here if you need me. I always will be." Chase said in a sweet/caring voice.

"I know but, I can do this. I will be strong. After all I have to be, until Dustin leaves then, I have to be strong. Hopefully I'll be fine by the time that he leaves." Zoey said.

"No Zoey. No. You need to not be doing this to your self. We've been over this. If you ever need somebody to talk to, come to me. I promise I'll listen." Chase said in somewhat a sympathetic/angry voice.

"You always do listen." Zoey said. Then she heard her alarm clock going off. She rolled over turned the clock off and looked at her husband. Mr. Chase Matthews. For two years she had been Mrs. Chase Matthews. And she loved every bit of it.
