Also for those who guessed right in the last chapter on who was coming…umm I couldn't give u a sneak peak cuz u didn't have an account! Sry! Lol here we go!
Zoey's pov.
I cannot believe that I just told the new kid that. We barely even knew each other, and yet having him hold me and stroke my hair…I'd felt better than I had for the past few days. Then, to make things better Nyx, she gave me another tattoo! And Stark too! Matching ones that wrapped around my wrist like a bracelet.
Still, as much as I wanted to mull over the beauty of my new mark I couldn't because Aphrodite announced the gang was coming up here.
"Bye Stevie Rae. I'll promise to see you soon kay? And I'll only call you. If it's a text its not from me." I mumbled wobbly getting up and hugging her. After the hug I fell back down into the bed. Stark looked at me worriedly but didn't say anything.
"I'm guessing I missed something?" Aphrodite asked after looking at my tattoo.
"Yeah, I just confessed to the fact that Loren raped me and that our ex is a total idiot."
"What!" Aphrodite shrieked, but I just shook my head.
"later." I muttered while looking back at Stevie Rae.
"Miss you." I said solemnly. I needed my bff right now more than ever, but she needed to keep those red fledglings under control.
"Bye Zoey." Stevie Rae said tears still in her eyes. "Stark, you need to promise that while I'm gone you'll protect Zoey. I know you guys must barely know each other but you guys have to stick together." Stevie Rae announced and then looked at Aphrodite.
"You can come with me you know? You don't need to pretend." Stevie Rae said.
"Pretend what?" I asked seriously.
"Later on. No, now bye." Aphrodite said using some of her bitchy sneer and Stevie Rae was gone.
Not even a minute later the door opened revealing the gang.
"Zoey?" They all asked and looked at me curiously when they saw me lying in bed.
"Yes." I answered clearly. I was lying down again, except I was lying on Stark and Aphrodite was sitting on the other bed leafing through a book.
"Ugh!" Erin started.
"Someone take the hag from hell," Shanuee continued
"Out of here." Erin finished and I looked at Aphrodite. She was looking at the twins with hate.
Luckily, Damien cut in.
"Zoey, we wanted to talk to you alone." Damien said then jerked his head at Aphrodite and Stark.
"Damien," I said coolly and separated, "anything you need to say can be said to them."
See, even though they're all my best friend I still wasn't prepared to forgive them, and lets face it, I wasn't in the mood to tell them to much and then have Neferet kill them.
"Nerd Heard, you know I'm gonna save you all the trouble of arguing with Zoey and tell you now, Zoey is not going to just come out and tell you everything you want to know. Eh!" She held a hand up to the twins and Stark chuckled beneath me at the movement. " Also, have you ever thought about the fact that maybe she didn't tell you guys stuff to protect you?" Aphrodite sneered and I just rested my head back on Stark's chest.
Even though we were a little to touchy for my liking at the moment, my body just would not move. I felt safe in Stark's arms. I actually felt that he would jump in front of a train for me, even though that was a little drastic. He was like my best friend, except he wasn't. To add to that he was already in that "boyfriend" position, even though I wasn't ready to move on yet.
In conclusion I already felt love for him. Which was my whole issue, because I knew as soon as I was out of his arms I'd be the same reck as before.
"Zoey!" Aphrodite yelled at me, while shaking me. I gasped in pain, but the gang, who was still here even though I zoned out, probably thought I gasped in surprise.
Aphrodite looked at me apologies in her eyes, while I felt Stark's grip on me tighten ever so slightly.
"Come on, we have a meeting to go to! Neferet, and her war on humans remember." Aphrodite said further breaking me out of my daze.
"Sorry." I muttered and looked at the gang. "Guys, your going to have to trust me okay, also um can you guys go outside, I need to change?" I pleaded and asked.
"Whatever." The twins said frowning.
"Sure." Damien said quietly while Jack smiled at me.
"Of course Z!" Jack almost squealed and then went out the door following the rest of my friends.
Well, at least one of my friends forgave me. I thought sarcastically, as I got off of Stark while trying not to fall, and grabbing clothes to cover up my new mark and my cuts I went and changed in the bathroom.
Okay, so that was almost a filler chapter so I get if it was boring…not nearly enough stark in there for my liking, but in the next 2 chapters it should get much better!
