"Goodbye." Zoey sighed as she rememered the last time she'd seen Dren. They'd parted on such bad terms this time and she had always be angry with herself for causing such a pain filled look in the alien's eyes.
She wipped off a few tables and took a tray load of dishes to the back to be washed. Normally she was in a happy and carefree mood, but now a days, she'd been unhappy and out of place.
Her friends had noticed this too. Elliot had even given her a week off, in case it was because she was tired. Though, she didn't have to work, she didn't enjoy her time off. Instead of getting out of bed and doing things, Zoey stayed in bed the entire time she had off. When she came back to work, she was still not herself, and her friends were very worried about her.
"Zoey?" No answer came from the silent cat girl. "Zoey..." Still nothing. Elliot sighed and spoke one last time. "Hey, kitty ca...YAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!" He went flying across the room. "Ow!" He looked up at the cat girl, who'd just sent him flying, and noticed the angry and not happy look in her eyes. "..." She said nothing and took out the garbage.
"That had to hurt," "Yeah, it did, but why is she like this? I mean she's not usually this unhappy." "Maybe Mark did something," "No. Zoey's unhappy mood has nothing to do with any of us or Mark." "HuH? Then who?" "It's a guy, but its not a guy that...we like." Everyone caught on, except for Elliot. "Who do you mean?" "You know for a genius, you sure don't catch on quickly." "Huh?" "This mood that she's in..." "Has nothing to do with any of you and is not to be discussed without my okay!" Zoey shouted, grabbed her things from the changeroom and left the cafe, slamming the door behind her. "Wow, she's really unhappy, huh?" "Yes, she is very unhappy."

"Zoey, is that you dear?" The mother got no answer. "Zoey?" "Yes, its me mom, I'm not hungry and I'm going to bed early." "Want me to wake you if Mark calls or comes by?" "NO! If he comes by tell him to go away! If he calls tell him I don't want to talk." "Alright dear, sleep well." "Yeah right."
Zoey tossed her bag onto her desk and changed into her pajamas. After tossing her clothes into the hamper at the end of her bed, Zoey opened her closet door, got in, and sat down on the floor, closing the door and shutting out all the light. There in the darkness she cried and cried and cried.
She didn't know how deeply she could hurt Dren, until the night she had done just that. that night, all their fights and all the time he'd gotten hurt, all of those times vanished the instant she said those horrible words to him.
"Zoey, come with me please! Let me take you away from this world, to paradise, please come with me. Life has no meaning for me if you aren't there with me...ple..." "Would you shut up already! I've told you hundreds of times! I will not go with you! I'm sorry if you're so obssessed, but I am not leaving Earth!." "Alright, then we'll stay here, on Earth, please! I just want us to be together! Please Zoey...please Kitty cat!" "Argh! Why wont you understand! Get it through your head! I do not love you! I never will! You're chasing a dream that will never come true!" "Why? Why can't it come true?" "That has to be obvious by now!" "Why? That boy? That looser! Is he why? If so I'll get rid of him! I'll get rid of anyone who is trying to keep you from being with me!!" "Really? My parents, what if they tried?" "I'd kill everyone that tried, including them!" "GET OUT!" "Zoey...I..." "I HATE YOU!!!!! GET THE HELL OUT NOW!!! GO BACK TO WHERE YOU CAME FROM! STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ME AND LEAVE!" "...If thats what you trully want Zoey...then I'll leave. Goodbye."
He had left and after he had Zoey had collapsed to the floor.
"Never once had I ever...i'd never said that I hate him before, never. Not once." Zoey wipped her eyes, but the tears kept falling. "I'm sorry for what I said...for saying those terrible words, for causing that painfilled expression to appear on your face and in your eyes! I'm so very sorry."
Crying and saying she was sorry was what her life baisically consisted of. She'd go to school, then work, then she'd completely shut everyone out, including ehr parents. Sit all alone in the dark of her closet, crying and begging for time to be turned back to that night before she said what she had. Even though she wished for it so badly, she knew that nothing could take back what she said, nothing. There she stayed for the rest of the night. Alone in the dark of her closet.
"I'm sorry Dren...I was wrong. I was so very wrong. I don't hate you, I can't hate you, because...like you've always wanted...I've fallen in love with you." She said simply before closing her eyes and letting sleep comsume her entire being.
