Zoey's point of view
As I sat in my dorm, thinking about how Darius would react, I felt pain shoot through me from my imprint with Aphrodite. I shot up of the bed, and just as I was reaching for the doorknob, a sadness so intense it hurt washed over me, causing me to double over in agony. Wave after wave of my passed heartaches crashed into me, threatening to take me under with each one. My mom choosing John over me, finding out that Grandma was in a car crash, Jack dying, Stevie Rae dying, Heath, my mom, and now...Stark, all dead. I wanted to just curl up into a ball and cry, but I knew Aphrodite was in trouble, so using all of my strength, I heaved myself from the ground where I had apparently fallen, and ran to Aphrodite's room.
I rushed into her dorm without bothering to knock, and found her agains the wall with her head burrowed in her knees, sobbing. She looked up at me with tears still flowing freely down her face, and a fresh blue/purple bruise under her left eye.
"Oh my gosh, what happened?" I said running to her.
"H-He left me!" she sobbed.
"What!" I looked around and noticed that his things were all gone, "Where'd he go?"
"I don't know, he just started packing and left." She said crying even harder. I wiped the tears away off her face as she did to me earlier, but paused at the bruise.
"Did he do this to you?" I whispered seriously. She didn't say anything, but she nodded her head slightly. An unexpected anger ripped through my body, and at that moment all I wanted was to gain revenge on Darius for what he did. But now all I could do was be here for her.
"It's okay, it's gonna be alright."
"How? My warrior, who's supposed to always be there for just attacked me, and made me release him." No way, I thought. Darius would never do that, he was one of the sweetest guy I know. But then again I thought the same thing about Erik before he went psycho on me too.
"I know it's going to be alright because you still have me, and I'll never hurt you." She looked up at me again with tears shining in her eyes.
"You promise."
"I promise." I knew that her knowing that I'll always be there for her, didn't magically fix her problems. So I let her cry into my shoulder as I comforted her. At about 1 in the morning-uh I mean afternoon, she slowly drifted to sleep. I carried her to the bed, and was surprised to find how light she was. I debated on whether to sleep in her room tonight or mine. But I decided that she'd probably need me tomorrow, plus I was dead tired, and I think I'd pass out in the middle of the hall if I tried. So I tentatively snuggled next to Aphrodite, and fell into a dreamless sleep.
I'll update it again later today, or maybe tomorrow, since I've already wrote some of the next chapter, and something big is gonna happen in it! Don't forget to review :)
