I figured I'd post this one today early. Busy as bee this weekend. Enjoy!
Part 11-No one understands
Wade, Lemon & Lavon:
"I'm surprised to see you early Wade. Anxious to get this night started I see."
"Not right now Lemon. I just want to get this over with so I can move on with my life."
"Did you happen to see Zoe Wade?"
"No, but then again I wasn't looking for her either Lavon."
"Well I'm sure it won't be much longer guys. Why don't you set the table Lavon and Wade, stop acting like were going to a funeral."
"Lavon this is why I don't have a girlfriend…there always telling you what to do."
Lemon turns to Lavon and asks "Do you agree with Wade Lavon? Am I too bossy for you?"
"What…how did this turn on me? I love you Lemon and love spending time with you." Lavon said. He then kisses her on the lips.
Wade looks at Lavon and mouths the word "whipped" to him while Lemon has her back to them.
…
Meanwhile in Zoe's room, she is starting to stir and when she notices the time realizes she is late to Lemon and Lavon's dinner. Her head is pounding and all she feels like doing is sleeping. The problem is if she didn't attend the dinner Lemon would hunt her down and never leave her alone. Dragging herself out of the bed, she slowly walks towards the bathroom when she steps on a piece of glass. She screams in pain and then notices the blood gushing out of her foot. With tears streaming down her eyes, Zoe drags herself to the shower and turns it on. The humidity of the bathroom on top of the lightheadness she feels causes Zoe to hit her head on the counter and fall into the shower face first.
…
Wade, Lemon, & Lavon:
"This is ridiculous Lemon. She's not going to come. Can we eat now?"
"No Wade. She'll be here. "
"Why don't I go over there and see what's taking her Lemon? She might be feeling nervous." Lavon said.
"Zoe Hart nervous…ha. That's funny."
"That's a great idea Lavon. I'll keep Wade busy here while you check on her. Take the phone with you to let us know how much longer she'll be."
"I'll be back. This shouldn't take long."
"Good luck Lavon and don't say I didn't warn you." Wade stated.
Lavon shakes his head after Wade's comment and Lemon looks at him with a pair of sharp eyes. "Well well well…I thought I'd never see it but Wade Kinsella likes Zoe Hart."
"Are you on something Lemon? That is the craziest thing I've ever heard coming from you."
"I've never seen you act like this until this moment. She must be getting underneath your skin. What did she do to you Wade?"
"Nothing Lemon. You are seeing things that aren't there. Zoe Hart means nothing to me. She's just a neighbor that I have to be cordial too. We share a kitchen and neighbors."
"You can deny it all you want Wade Kinsella but I know you better than anyone. Zoe Hart means something to you or you wouldn't be such an ass."
"The heat in the kitchen is getting to you Lemon. Maybe you should relax for a bit and cool off."
Lemon heads to living room to cool off while Wade stays in the kitchen trying to figure out how to get out of this mess.
….
Lavon & Zoe:
Knock Knock…"Zoe it's Lavon. I'm just checking how much longer you'll be. Lemon's anxious. Zoe…"
He steps into the room and notices the shattered glass on the ground with blood leading to the bathroom. He follows it and notices Zoe on her side with her face in the water. Immediately he pulls her out to the bedroom and starts to yell her name. She isn't responding to him and he starts CPR. He does 30 chest compressions and listens for signs of breathing. There is nothing. He repeats the procedure and this time Zoeregurgitates the water. He calls 911 and reports the incident and listens as operator keeps him on the line making sure Zoe doesn't pass out again. The medics arrived and all Lavon could think about was that he got there in time. Now he had to break the news to Lemon and Wade.
…..
Lavon, Lemon & Wade:
He walks back into the kitchen and notices Wade and Lemon sitting around the table.
"It looks like you are missing someone Lavon. Let me guess…she's hiding behind you." Wade said
"Why are you wet Lavon and Wade's right, where is Zoe Hart? I thought she would be here with you? Did she blow us off?"
"There is no easy way to say this…Zoe Hart is on the way to the hospital. The medics just took her away."
"WHAT!" Wade said
"What happened? Is she going to be okay?" Lemon asked
"I'm not sure. I went to check on her, noticed the blood on the floor and followed the trail. I found her with the side of her face in the water and gave her CPR. I called 911 and like I said she's on the way to the hospital."
Lemon noticed Wade going white as a sheet. She had to snap him out of this.
"Wade…Let's go. We need to go to the hospital to check on Zoe. She needs us."
"I can't go Lemon."
"Wade Kinsella…I know you're scared but Zoe needs you. She needs all of us."
