Chapter 7: Where were you when I needed you?
The wind blew through Zoe's hair, lifting a few blonde strands over her face. Dark rain clouds had covered the sky above her, darkening her face as she lay there motionless. Her eyes didn't open for she was so deep in thought, she didn't even know that she had fell asleep just outside of the school.
She felt forgotten, in fact, she was very confused, ever since she had started going out with Kayu, things didn't seem to go so well with him. He in fact never turned up at school, and when they had arranged a date earlier (Yesterday/ Sunday) he never turned up. After all this, she had started to notice that she had made things worse for Takuya and herself noticing she hadn't been nice to him that day in fact, she never talked with him nearly all day.
"Takuya," she softly mumbled in her sleep, she was having an endless nightmare.
Meanwhile at Kouji's house Kouji was flicking through his homework journal, finding anything he had to do for homework. He flicked through each page till he found nearly all of his assignments were done for that week, all except for one. He still had an English Assignment that was due tomorrow. Kouji reached in to his bag to get his English book out of his bag, but to his surprise it wasn't there.
"Hey Kouchi, do you have my English book?" he asked his twin brother. Kouchi was in the kitchen making dinner.
"Sorry, you can even check my bag if you want to bro, but I got nothing at all in my bag," Kouchi replied.
Kouji looked outside of his window worried, he saw dark clouds starting to brew up gradually. In the distance he then saw a flash of lightening that split the sky above him.
"What's the time?" he asked his twin quickly.
Kouchi looked up at the clock,
"It's 7 o clock, surely you're not going back to school?" Kouchi doubted him.
Kouji slid his white and dark blue runners on and ran outside slamming the door behind him. Kouchi watched his twin brother through the window, run all the way back to school before the rain started to pour down on him.
Meanwhile after that at Takuya's house, Takuya was sitting down with his little brother Shinya watching TV. The power started to blink on and off as they kept watching their favourite TV show. All of a sudden a bolt of lightning, the same one that was seen by Kouji struck through the sky. Takuya's eyes looked out of the window as he began to remember how Zoe used to be scared of lightning and thunder.
Flash Back
Zoe and Takuya were walking home alone again. Zoe's hair blew in the wind softly as they both walked to their houses. Takuya would always usually walk Zoe home, they were both 12 years old, only still kids and were best friends. A bolt of lightning flashed in the distance above the two, following a crash of thunder entered the sky. Zoe shuddered as she held tightly on to Takuya's arm. Takuya smiled at Zoe, as Zoe looked up to him for support.
"Admit it Zoe, you're scared of thunder and lightning," Takuya demanded her.
"Fine then, I will," she gave up, tugging tighter on to his shirt.
"Aww, Zoe needs a noogie," he replied giving her a little noogie.
"Stop that," she replied in defeat, starting to blush.
"And why not?" he began to protest, Zoe brushed her fingers slowly through her hair to neaten it up.
"Because that will make my future boyfriend jealous," she simply replied, looking him straight in the eyes.
"Future boyfriend?" he asked confused, smirking at the same time.
Zoe put her hands on her hips, as she still walked along the pathway with him.
"Yep," she simply replied.
"And to you, he would be your first everything, right?" he asked.
"Mmhmm," she replied again.
Takuya looked down at the ground starting to shake his head from side to side. Zoe stared at him,
"What would he be like?" he asked her,
"He would be sweet, charming, and he would have manners," she replied, looking at Takuya.
Takuya shook his head again
"And suppose, what would he look like?" he asked her.
Zoe closed her eyes and thought carefully, Takuya smiled at her. She opened them quickly and quickly looked down, so he didn't notice a blush that crept up her face.
"He would have cute brown hair, that's neat, not messy Takuya, and he would have tan skin like you," she replied, Takuya smiled.
"Would he be as brave as me?" he asked.
"Now I can't tell you that," she replied, as they were starting to move in closer.
"And why not?" Takuya asked her, not noticing what they both were doing, Zoe looked up and smiled at him with no answer.
"You did say he would have been your first everything didn't you," he lowered his face down to hers, making her look up.
"Well, yeah," she replied softly.
"I was your first friend right?" he asked her.
"Mmhmm," she replied softly, they're eyes locked.
"Zoe, I'm your first everything," he ensured her.
"Does that mean…." He asked her again getting cut off by hers softly, as their faces moved in a lot closer.
"It means…." Zoe tried to reply, but their faces met so close as their eyes closed.
Their lips met as Takuya hugged her tightly, this was there first kiss. Zoe stayed in his grip, it felt right to be with him. She tried to fight off his kiss, but he was too strong. Zoe started to kiss him harder and harder, which made Takuya kiss her harder and stronger. Zoe didn't want it to end, it felt so right, too right. Takuya started to end the kiss, but Zoe pulled on him harder as they continued. Zoe wanted to scream with joy, Takuya wanted to scream as well.
Both of them started to open their eyes as they started to part. Takuya's eyes widened with shock. He couldn't believe it, he and Zoe had just kissed. They had kissed for ten minutes, not bad for their first kiss, but he wanted to know if they could maybe go for a little longer.
He lifted up her chin up to his face in his hand.
"You love me, don't you?" he asked the very red blushing Zoe.
"Mmhmm," she replied, looking into his eyes again.
Both of them started to close their eyes again, and started to kiss again passionately.
End of flash back
Takuya smiled at that memory, he would never forget that one ever. His attention then went back to the window as another bolt of lightning entered the sky.
Wait a minute! Zoe didn't walk with me after school, she always pleads me to walk with her after school, no matter what! Which means she might be still at the school all alone?
Takuya thought un easily grabbing his jacket quickly and slid outside of the door. He quickly bounded towards the school as quick as possible.
Meanwhile, Kouji finally made it to the school, but who was there that he saw who was having a deep bad dream?
"Zoe?" he asked in concern.
Kouji quickly walked up to her, Zoe started to shake her head in her sleep, and started to turn over and role down the stairs.
"Hang tight there, you okay?" he asked her quickly, picking her up in his arms.
He carefully dragged her out of the wind and underneath the roof as it started to rain. Zoe started to wake up stating to cry. Kouji held on to her tightly, as she cried softly in his arms.
"Takuya hates me, I've been too mean to him, he forgot about me, he, he.." she cried sadly into his arms.
"Ssh, he didn't forget about you Zoe, he in fact, he, well he," he trailed off, he lost words. He then dragged her to against the outside of the school walls.
"Kouji?" she asked, she woke up out of her depression.
"Oh Kouji, you're always there when I need you," she replied.
At this, she swung her arms around his neck and smiled up at him. But for some reason, there was a hint of sadness that was still there. The poor Kouji was now confused as she made him look into her eyes. Kouji gulped as she pulled him in closer, she then muttered something he could only just hear.
"Promise you won't leave me behind ever?" she asked, her eyes were searching him for hope.
Kouji's hair blew in the breeze, he was out of answers.
Takuya ran along the path as the leaves blew strongly in the wind. He slapped off the cold wet rain drops that he had caught on his fore head. He all of a sudden came to a halt as he arrived a few metres away from a tree that was at least another five metres away from the school's entrance.
Silently he walked, in hope of finding a poor and scared, and I'm about to kill you Takuya! Zoe. He crept closer towards the tree, he couldn't see her still, here is she? He thought. His thoughts started to go down low, maybe she went with Kayu on a date?
As he crept closer he then heard a voice, and he wasn't sure if he had just heard that voice mention Zoe. At this, Takuya quickly slunk behind the tree that was nearest to the school.
As he peaked through the leaves that was covering his face, he saw Zoe, but she wasn't alone. He moved his head to see who was with her, the image started to get clearer of the other person. At first he thought it was that Kayu, but it turned out that she was with someone else.
"I promise," Kouji answered her, looking deeply into her eyes.
Zoe's eyes widened more as she still cried. But they were both unaware that they were being watched. Zoe pulled Kouji's face down to hers as they pashed for a long time.
Takuya watched the two pashed madly, as Zoe cried still into Kouji's arms. Takuya's face went all red with anger and jealousy, the sight of it made him want to kill himself. He could have sworn that was Kouji's voice that he had heard earlier speak in comfort to the crying Zoe.
The wind blew hard on his face as it started to pour down heavily on him. He still didn't retreat, there was only one question he couldn't answer, Why was Zoe crying?
