This chapter is a lot longer than no. 1.
TIME HOP - 4 months
Zoe sat in her room, staring into space whilst Keri and Aniesha painted her nails in a range of colours, attempting to cheer her up. It wasn't working though. Zoe was obviously lost without
"Come on Zo, I know you miss Dan, we all do, but it has been months," Keri
"It just feels weird without him. He was one of the first people to treat me nice, unlike KORPS and SKUL," She replied, sad from just talking about him. "I don't feel right,"
"I promise you, we can get through this. Maybe we can get Frank to organise counselling sessions or something, just to help you through this," Aniesha
"I guess," Zoe said.
"we're done with your nails. We'll wait for them to dry and then got to Starbucks or something," Keri said.
"That would be cool," Zoe said, unconvincingly. The group called up Tom and together they went down to the Starbucks near Toms house, purely for his convenience, AKA he didn't want to walk too far.
Keri got a cookie dough frappuccino, Aniesha got a cupcake frappuccino, Tom got a summer pie frappuccino and Zoe got a cinnamon swirl frappuccino because it was Dan's favourite drink. Zoe couldn't take her mind off of him at all. Starbucks was awkward because no one talked, leaving everyone to look back at the last four months, something that was killing Zoe from the inside out.
After Starbucks, they all went their separate ways. Zoe's walk home was quite long so she put her earphones in and listened to the radio. 'See you again' came on and she listened to the lyrics (of the singing (she couldn't understand the rap)) each word killing her a little bit at a time.
It's been a long day without you, my friend
And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
We've come a long way from where we began
Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again
When I see you again
It related to her so much. She missed Dan so much and wished she could see him again. The next song on the radio was 'heaven'. That only went and killed her just slightly, very, a lot more.
Baby, you're all that I want
When you're lying here in my arms,
I'm finding it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need,
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
It was like the radio was trying to tell her something. Whatever it was, she decided she couldn't take it anymore. She pulled the earphones out of her ears and ran away from her house but towards the graveyard where Dan now lay. She got to the graveyard and went straight to the grave where Dan now was.
"Dan. I miss you. I miss you so much. I have never missed anyone like this before. It kills me to know that I won't be able to turn to you when I'm alone. I love you, and I never will stop, I promise," Zoe said, silently crying again.
"I miss you too, to the end of the universe and back."
