Okay if some information from Burned is missing I'm sorry I haven't finished it yet but I got this idea and I need to get it out before it leaves my mind. Sorry LOVER. Also some chapters are song inspired.
Summary
Zoey loved Heath. His death killed her on the inside, she couldn't coop with it after she had her soul restored. Stark loved Zoey but he knew she wouldn't be the same ever again, he knew there was no hope for a relationship with her, he didn't want her to hurt anymore. He just wanted her to be the old Zoey. The Zoey that died the moment Heath was killed.
Just A Dream-Carrie Underwood
Zoey P.O.V
We were all gathered in the girls dorm at House of Night with everyone talking in quiet whispers. They were talking about him, memories, memories they had with him. I couldn't take it.
I looked for Stark, he was with Damien and Jack playing with Dutchess.
"Stark, can I talk to you?"
"Yes, Zoe." He started to walk to me.
"Stark follow me." I started to walk towards my room. Stark follwed behind me.
"Zoey, I miss you."
"I'm right here, Stark. I'm not going anywhere. It's H...H...Heath that is... Is gone. I don't know what you mean by you miss me."
"I miss who were, Zoey. You're not her anymore. I don't like this new ' I hate the world' Zoey. She's just not the same. He's gone Zo, you need to deal."
Baby. why'd you leave me,
Why'd you have to go
I was counting on forever now I'll never know
I can't even breathe
It's like I'm looking from a distance
Standing in the background
Everybody's saying he's not coming home, now
This can't be happening to me
This is just a dream.
"Stark, I am trying to deal but everyone keeps talking `bout him when I'm there in whispers. I can't it, Stark. I loved him, no matter what I said about him, I loved him!" I keep saying it in my mind to grasp this fact, I loved Heath I know I did. We spent years together as friends then we got together. everyone thought it was a sure forever thing. I guess now it isn't. I guess it never will be.
"Zo, I'll get them to stop if it will help you. I'll do anything for you. Forever."
" I know, Stark. I know you will. I need to do this on my own though."
"Okay, my lady."
"I'm leaving. That's what I'm going to do."
"Zoey I need to come with you."
"No. You can't."
"Z, I have to. It's part of my oath."
"Screw the flippin' oath! I need to do this on my own!" I started to pack a bag. " You just stay here! Say I'm gone to Grandma's. Okay? Please, Stark?"
"Fine. I'll do it for you, love." I didn't agree with his word choice but I agreed with him staying.
"Thanks." I finished packing.
On my way out the door, I pulled Stark into a small friendly good-bye hug. I grabbed Heath's hoodie he gave on one of his surprise visit to House of Night to see me and left.
Then they handed her a folded up flag
And she held on to all she had left of him,
Oh and what could have been
Then the guns rang one last shot
And it felt like a bullet in her heart
