Chapter 12: Hope, Chance and time
Zoe where are you? I hope I'm not late, I hope nothing extremely bad has happened to her….Wait! What if something extremely has?
"Zoe…" Takuya puffed out her name as he ran to her destination, trying to push his thoughts away.
He kept pulling himself up, aiming to run faster. He had hoped that nothing would ever happen to her, but all he needed was time. He kept running as the wind pulled him to where she was.
He was now on the edge of giving up as he had already ran out of air. He began to run slower and slower as his legs became weaker and weaker. His heart started to throb inside of his chest as his throat tightened up with fear. He had cramps from running so far in little time. He looked around, he had never seen such a strange place before, but there was a shop over in the corner that looked familiar.
He then decided to stop his tracks, he almost felt like he was going to collapse on the ground and give up. He looked around to see if Zoe was around, all he managed to see were big thick trees and gardens and strange houses he had never seen this part of town before.
There was also something he had noticed, the wind had came from a strong gust that was pulling him, to a soft and gentle breeze that circled him lightly drawing him to walk further. Slowly he put one foot in front of the other, then suddenly he stopped again. Flashbacks of the dream hit him more than a million pieces of glass. He was now about to give up for good this time when…he heard…her…
"Zoe?" he asked softly, he could hear her crying in pain.
Please, please tell me she's alright, please don't tell me I'm too late…
He kept walking towards her, he knew that cry from anyone, and that was definitely Zoe.
"Zoe?" he asked, pushing a tree branch away.
Zoe kept crying, she didn't hear him, and Kayu was her last hope. She heard a noise against the fence. She turned around and saw Takuya grinning at her. Maybe he wasn't her only hope after all.
"Takuya!" she yelled as she jumped up in joy. She tried to hug him through the fence, she was glad he was here.
"Zoe, how the hell did you get in there?" he asked her.
"Oh Takuya, it's a long story, I don't have any idea where we are," she replied, he smiled at her.
"Ok Z, I'm going to find a way to get you out of here," he replied looking around finding the gate. Zoe followed him from the inside, she didn't want to lose him.
Takuya found the lock and started fidgeting with it furiously. He got out his pick lock and stuck it in, hoping the lock would somehow unlock itself. He looked at her.
"How on earth did you get in here?" he asked her again.
"I have no idea, I guess I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings when I was walking to school this morning," she replied.
"Mmhym," he replied, concentrating on the keyhole.
"How on earth did you find me? And why?" she asked him.
"I have no idea," he replied.
Finally he broke through the lock and opened the gate. Zoe ran through the gate and hugged him tightly. He hugged her back tightly, but not as tight as she hugged him. She let her tears of joy fall upon his shoulder, as she closed her eyes.
He watched over her shoulder seriously. He let her sadness be comforted by his warmth of his stiff body.
He began to wonder about her boyfriend Kayu, he didn't like the idea of her cheating, even if it was for him.
"I thought Kayu was with you?" he asked concerned. Zoe opened up her eyes and lifted her head away from his shoulder as she held onto his hands softly. He looked into her eyes and noticed a sadness within them. She suddenly burst into tears and cried upon his chest.
No! It couldn't! Not now!
Takuya hugged her trying to comfort her as much as he could.
I was too late….He hurt her, I knew he couldn't be trusted..
He thought in his thoughts, his attention then went back to Zoe as she softened up a little and began to speak to him softly between sobs.
"H-he was j-just here," she stuttered out, but that only made her feelings worse, she then broke up into tears again in his arms.
"Zoe.." he stuttered out trying to comfort her again.
Her sobs and crying got worse and worse as she still clung on to him stressfully. Only her words now were broken up into sobs of despair and were muffled into his dark red shirt and black sweatshirt.
"He was just here," she sobbed into his shirt. Takuya was trying his best to understand every word she was saying.
"How could he.." she kept sobbing.
"How could he?"
Takuya kept looking down at her, she was getting more and further more distressed by the minute. He began to grit his teeth tightly, he didn't like this, not one bit.
"Whoa..Zoe! You've got to stop this right now!" Takuya warned her, Zoe held onto her breath tightly, trying to obey him.
It was too strong for her, she then went blue.
"Zoe?" Takuya yelled worried, he picked her face up in his hand.
Slowly the air that was trapped inside of her, flowed out of her mouth gently. He rubbed her back softly to comfort her with his trembling hand.
Breathing gently now she looked into his eyes. He lifted her chin with his still trembling hands. Both looked into each others eyes.
It's like, nothing had changed, both were now trapped in each other's strong gaze. They listened to each other's thoughts flow. Neither one was alone now, in both their hearts something deep within them told them something they needed to know.
All the memories came in like a mad vision of sadness and happiness fused together. It was like they were both watching their lives again.
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
"Zoe!" He yelled running outside of the school gates.
She turned around and flashed him a sweet smile of happiness.
"Takuya!" she shouted out his name overjoyed.
He ran up to her as fast as possible and picked her up by her waist and swung her around tightly in his arms, making her laugh joyfully. Both of them laughed with joy and happiness in the midday sun.
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Everything felt like a dream, Wait! This scene did look very familiar! The dream? It was real! But how? Was it possible?
Determination now entered their eyes, both were now seeing what each other was seeing. It almost felt like it was impossible, but it was all coming true…
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
"Ah! Takuya!" Zoe screamed, she was holding onto the hard cliffy rocks tightly, as the sea crashed dangerously beneath her.
"Zoe! No!" he yelled clinging on to her hand trying to pull her up with all his might.
"Takuya! No! Don't!" she cried. He started to sweat hard as his little hand trembled as it tried to hang on to her tightly.
"Ah.. Hang in there Zoe, You'll be out of this soon.." he struggled to keep her up.
He tugged and tugged onto her tiny little hand tightly as he pulled her up.
"Taki no!" she screamed as she slipped again. She was then caught by his arms and was pulled straight into his chest.
She looked up at him as both of them lay distressed in each other's arms. He looked back up at her. Both of them smiled at each other, glad that they were both alive still. She hugged him dearly. What was a ten year old to do?
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Both of them were still locked in each other's gaze. A shiver ran straight down Takuya's spine, Zoe felt it. He felt her reaction too, what was going on? He had absolutely no idea of what was going on at that very moment.
She stared softly and calmly into his wide crimson eyes. Her cerulean sapphire gaze hadn't met his eyes in ages.
Takuya leaned in forward as she did too, but something pulled him back.
No! Am I insane? She doesn't love me! She loves…loves…Someone else…
Takuya struggled with his thoughts, he was dying to kiss her like he used to again. But his thoughts kept pulling him away from his dreams.
Zoe closed her eyes as Takuya's stuttered.
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
"Takuya No!"
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Takuya suddenly pushed himself way from her, her frozen tears broke fast.
He-He almost kissed me! What's the matter with me? Why didn't he kiss me?
She was now struggling with her own thoughts.
Takuya shifted towards her again, he couldn't keep pushing her away like this. He couldn't keep making her have hard decisions all the time neither.
She glanced up at him confused, he looked at her again. He couldn't help it anymore. He hugged her tightly.
She now felt her sadness become happiness again. He too felt much the same, but too him something was still missing.
To them now everything was resolved, or weren't they?
