Déjà vu- Chapter 8- Forever

Zoe's POV-

I awoke the next morning in cool arms. I smiled and kept my eyes closed hoping he wouldn't realize I was awake. It was Friday the day I was supposed to spend the night at Amanda's house. Lying in bed with Neo's arms around me I doubted I wanted to go to school let alone Amanda's but I knew Bella and Edward would be disappointed if I didn't. Cool lips pressed against mine and I knew that he knew I was awake.

"There is no sense pretending you're not awake Zoe." Neo chuckled lightly. Mumbling I rolled over and opened my eyes to stare into his warm golden ones. Lifting my hand to his face I brushed my fingers lightly across his cheek.

"You hunted last night." It wasn't a question.

"I can't be too careful." He told me his smile slightly fading.

"You won't hurt me." I assured him. He just sighed and caressed my face in his hands. I kissed him again and got out of bed to go shower. The warm shower finished what Neo had started by fully waking me up. Quickly getting dressed I barely had enough time to grab a couple un-toasted brown sugar pop-tarts. Neither Neo nor I had realized how long we had lain in bed and everyone else thought we were ditching so they didn't bother to get us.

Even driving at his normal insane speed, Neo and I barely made it to school on time. I threw my bad in my locker and noticed a large gym bag at the bottom. On the door of my locker was a note from Alice.

Next time I'm not packing for you

Alice

Such sisterly love. I knew she didn't mean it though. Alice loved picking out outfits for other people, especially if they were fashion handicapped. I headed to the gym and groaned when I saw that we were starting tennis. I smiled when I saw Bella hand a note to the gym teacher. I walked over to Bella and the teacher gave me a dirty look for arriving late. Under my breath knowing that the Bella would hear I asked,

"Are both our names on that note?" I saw Bella nod her head yes and I had to keep myself from grinning.

Instead of playing Bella and I got to walk around outside while everyone made pairs of four, two for each side, and went either inside or outside to verse each other. While we were walking we passed the swing set and instead of just passing it by I walked over to it and sat down on one of the swings. Bella sat down next to me on the other swing and watched as the never ending grey clouds passed by. I couldn't wait for a sunny day.

I put my iPod in and started scrolling through the songs. I clicked on a random one and let the music flow through me. The bell rand and I headed to my next class. Soon Biology came and I couldn't help but smile as I saw how close Neo's chair was to mine without it being considered PDA.

"You looked stressed what's wrong?" He asked when I sat down.

"I'm not sure I just have this feeling that something is going to go wrong." I told him.

"Nothing bad is going to happen to you so long as I'm around." Neo grinned and I instantly relaxed. Of course nothing bad was going to happen there were eight vampires in the school which was a very large and unusual amount in one area.

"Yea you're right; I'm just a little paranoid today." I gave him a reassuring smile. At lunch I sat at Amanda's table so we could discuss what we were going to do tonight. Surprisingly neo sat with us and of course no one objected. Thankfully Amanda and I talked the whole lunch period so I couldn't get all possessive and jealous when Amy started to talk to Neo even though it was a one sided conversation. For awhile I felt bad for her since even though Amy was trying to talk to him, Neo had all his attention on me and would sometimes play with my hair.

"Okay so right after school you're coming over and then we'll take it from there." Amanda grinned. I grinned back at her and took the chance to quickly glare at Amy. I don't remember how the rest of the day went because I was too excited to go to Amanda's after school. The final bell rang and I hurried to my locker to grab my bags. Neo met me at my locker and I quickly kissed him on the cheek.

"I have a feeling you'll be visiting my dreams tonight?" I grinned at him.

"If you even go to sleep, I have a feeling Amanda is going to keep you up all night." He said with half a smile on his face.

"Good point." I grinned and gave him a kiss goodbye as Amanda walked up.

"Oh gross! PDA!" She laughed before Neo and I broke apart. Instead of breaking the kiss to answer her, I let my hands do the talking. I flipped her off. This of course just made her start laughing harder.

Unfortunately I broke my short kiss with Neo. "Let's go before you pee your pants from laughing so hard." I told her sternly. She tried to control her laughter as we walked to her car but that only made it worse. I started to laugh with her, her giggles becoming contagious. She got into the driver's seat and started the engine. I slid into the passenger's side and turned on the radio. Amanda pulled out of the parking lot and that's when it happened. Everything went black. I felt like I was floating, like nothing could hurt me here in this dark abyss that I had found. Then the pain started to build pulling me out of unconsciousness. I tried not to cry out in pain as another shock of pain hit me.

"She should be waking up soon." I heard a soft musical voice state.

"Zoe love can you open your eyes?" Another familiar voice filled my ears with its plea. That voice was in such pain and it killed me to wonder if I was the cause of the pain in such a beautiful voice. I tried to open my eyes to see the face that I was causing so much pain. Forcing myself through the pain I opened my eyes and stared through the different color dots flittering across my vision into many golden eyes.

"Wha-what happened?" I asked in a raspy voice. None of them answered me, before I knew it I was engulfed by gentle arms all around me. Everyone was careful not to hug too hard or hit a sore spot. While everyone else stepped back after hugging me Neo never let go of my hand and kissing my hair.

"Is Amanda okay?" I asked my voice still hard for me to understand. I wasn't sure if I had even asked the right question. I looked into the solemn eyes around me. No words were needed for me to understand, those eyes said everything. Tears started to fill in my eyes. Even though I hadn't known Amanda very well I couldn't prevent the tears from falling down my face as I cried over her death. Neo wrapped me in his arms, whispering words of comfort into my ear. Bella and Edward sat on either side of me, each taking one of my hands in theirs. That was the bad part about being the only human in the room; I was the only one who could cry for my friend.

Alice, Jasper, Carlisle, Esme, and Neo's 'family' left the room leaving me alone with my 'parents' and Neo. As I lay there in Neo's protective arms I started to remember what had happened. Amanda had been laughing too hard to be paying proper attention while she was backing out. Another car was driving too fast and didn't see her start to back out. Before the other driver could stop they slammed into the driver's side of Amanda's car crushing it from the impact.

"Why didn't you stop it?" I asked them the tears still streaming down my face.

"We were already on our way home." Edward told me softly. I looked up at Neo for answers.

"I wasn't able to save both of you. I tried but I was only able to get to you in time." Neo's voice cracked from the pain he was feeling, oh how I wanted to ease his hurt. The tears finally stopped flowing and I tried to calm myself.

"How badly am I injured?" I finally asked.

"You have two broken ribs, a broken leg, and a sprained wrist." Bella explained. I winced as I tried to sit up a little. Neo gently lifted me up to a sitting position and the room started to spin as I almost fainted from the pain. Bella and Edward both kissed me on the forehead and left saying they had to hunt even though their eyes were still honey brown. I sighed as the door finally closed and I laid back down, my head resting on Neo's chest.

"I should get you a nurse." Neo said but not actually getting up.

"No! Please don't leave me." I pleaded. I felt Neo tense as he heard the fear and pain in my voice. Then he relaxed and tried to soothe me by saying he wasn't going anywhere.

"You should rest now." Neo suggested.

"Will you stay?" I asked.

"Forever." He assured me. Satisfied with his answer I closed my eyes and fell asleep in the arms of my angel.

I'M BACK! Well sorta I apologize for taking forever!!! To put this up but things have been soo hectic this year that it was impossible to write, post, or even think about my stories. I will do my best to work on them this summer though.
