Disclaimer: I don't own TMM but I do own these plots ;)
Ello ello ello amazing readers hope your loving the new year because I'M NOT! It's just study study study and nag nag nag and I'm pretty sick of it so this story had been the highlight of everything and the only thing I've been doing that is giving me fun. I noticed even though I give characters, mainly Zoey, quotes I haven't given anyone a P.O.V in a while so I put a small one in her if you prefer me blending CH's with P.O.V's OR have ideas your more than welcome to leave a review. I read all of them and I love talking to my readers so I promise I won't ignore you or your ideas as it's nice to hear what you guys want and use it.
And this was supposed to be uploaded two days ago but shit kept popping up.
You might notice in this CH even though I tried to dial it down I'm using scene cutters more frequently, like when I put "At the cafe" sorry if that's annoying it just makes the scenes easier to section. Another thing is I don't know if you guys have noticed but I take this story really seriously as to get and give a better feel to scenes I experience it myself. For example for the cemetery scene, I myself went to the cemetery and noted down in my head what I was feeling (Yes I went there for somebody not for the fun of it lol) so I don't just sit behind the screen wondering how things I've never experienced feel. Without further a-do enjoy CH25! ;-D (the longest CH)
Previously
He walked towards her until they were close, not yet letting go of her wrist. He then cupped Zoey's frozen face with the other hand. "Let me back in…"
"Mark..." He closed his eyes and softly kissed her and although she didn't want to, she kissed back. It was like Mark had this supernatural power to control her even when she didn't want to do things. She kept her eyes open throughout the kiss, hadn't feeling it for so long. When they parted Mark wrapped her in his arms.
"I knew you still loved me… I promise I'll never hurt you again…" He rested his chin of Zoey's hair. She stood there still. Not saying a word and barely hugging Mark back. A tear slid down her cheek.
'I'm sorry Elliot…'
Chapter 25: Temptation Temptation
Once Mark let her go he pinched her chin softly up to his face noticing her tear. "Please don't cry."
"...I-I've gotta get going." She ran off before Mark got a chance to speak. She was about to tell him that she didn't love him anymore and nothing was going to change her mind about him but she just couldn't talk with him holding her face so close to his. As she was running she cried and wiped her mouth clean of his lips. By the time she had got outside and down the empty street of school she felt her body tingling so she stopped. "Huh-?" She lifted her arm to look at and it was sparkling with the rest of her body. "What's happening to meeooow?" She covered her mouth quickly and looked down realizing she had turned into a cat. 'Shoot why did this have to happen now?! I thought I was over this cat stuff! I can't believe I was this stunned and overwhelmed to fully transformation into a cat, I almost forgot what it felt like..' Zoey tried her best to make her way to the cafe with her little paws but her sense fo direction was blinded since every tree looked like a tall tower. And to top things off it started to rain. 'Are you kidding me?!'
'I think I'm almost... there...? WHAT THE- THIS IS THE COFFEE SHOP I'VE ONLY DONE 5 MINUTES OF THE JOURNEY! Aaaargh!' Her ears twitched hearing the sounds of footsteps approaching so she peaked, it was Elliot with his hands in his pockets. 'AH! IT'S ELLIOT! I-I can't let him see me or he'll know I've kissed someone! Uuuuaaahhh think fast Zoey!' She ran into the nearest alley way and hid behind a dumpster waiting for Elliot to pass, which he did. After he was out of sight she came out and sighed in relief. 'Phew that was a close one..' Then she headed the opposite direction and when she turned around the corner Elliot was standing in front of her with his hand on his hip.
"See this is exactly why I need to keep an eye on you baka."
"WAHH! HOW DID YOU DO THAT?"
"You said 25 minutes half an hour ago and your not even near the cafe."
"That doesn't give you the right to scare me like that! I'm sorry I'm late coming back but I'm here now aren't I?"
"For that I should leave you like that." When they both looked at the other side of the street a lady pushing a stroller was staring at Elliot like he was crazy for talking to a cat, then carried on walking still staring at him sweat-dropping. He grabbed Zoey and took her somewhere they wouldn't be seen and gave her a quick peck returning her to her human form.
"Care to tell me why your not even half way to the cafe AND why you transformed?"
"IIIIIIII uhh... Errrm..." Out of the blue heavy rain came falling down along with a cold breeze and a planting of thunder. They both looked up and Elliot sighed.
"Tell me later. Here put this on." He chucked her his jacket which she caught and he began walking without her and she blushed, held it over her head and caught up to him. His jacket felt so warm and it smelt like him. She couldn't help but wrap herself in it tightly and take in the sweet scent of him.
"Thanks for coming out for me."
"You can't take care of yourself, I had no choice." She had a comeback ready but didn't bother. She felt too sneaky to say anything more to him. This was the first time Elliot didn't come for her after school in a while and look at what a stupid mistake she's made already. He felt her forehead, "Your heads hot but your arms freezing cold, sure your not sick?" Two tears overflowed Zoey's eyes and she started sniffing, her voice broke immediately.
"Elliot promise me that the next time I say I can go somewhere or do something on my own you'll still come with me anyway? I want you by my side. I feel safer when your around." He didn't say a thing meaning he didn't mind and they walked half a block without really saying anything.
"So what gives? Why did I have to come out for you and why were you a cat?" 'Shoot I could have used that time to come up with an accuse! ...I'm sorry Elliot, I really do love you but I just can't tell you the truth.'
"Oh that... Y-You see I um, I bumped into that kid with the lizard and it totally kissed me again so it took me some time getting to you, s-since I was a cat." 'Pleeaaase say your buying this!'
Zoey's POV
For some reason Elliot stopped walking and turned to gaze at me. I just stood there blankly looking at him with my damp hair and clothes. Suddenly he leaned in and pinched my chin. I tried as hard as I could not to compare his touch to Mark's but it was hard when they were doing the same thing. So I stare back wide eyed as his face came closer. Then he pauses almost gauging my reaction, holding my head perfectly still. What is going on in his head?
"Your lying." Then he roughly let go of me and faced forward again. All I could did was stare at his back feeling sorry for him. I don't know what to do now. I want to tell him the truth but of course I can't do that.
"Okay okay I don't know why I transformed like this. I was just walking out of school and my body started sparkling and the next thing I knew I was 23cm tall!"
3rd person POV
Elliot held his chin wondering what could have caused this. "Looks like Wesley and I have more researched to do. Unless... were you masturbating?" Zoey's face was so red it almost sizzled.
"W-P- No of course I wasn't! Stupid Elliot!" She punched his arm as he snickered at her. "I was only asking."
"Your the worst!" She laughed with her hands of his chest wanting to push him. When the laughing died down they closed their eyes for a kiss but when Zoey opened hers she saw Mark's face instead of Elliot's. "AHH!" She screamed and pushed him away, then turned around.
"What was that for?"
"N-Nothing I just... thought I saw a spider on you."
"Ok... well are you going to turn around?"
"That reminds me! Let's play a game where you have to go the rest of the journey without looking at the person next to you- ready- go!" He rolled his eyes and turned her by her shoulders so her body was facing him but her eyes were squinted shut.
"Why are your eyes closed?"
"N-No reason..."
"Well open them baka." She gulped and opened her eyes, fortunately she saw Elliot and not Mark. He held her face and they kissed. She opened her eyes again and guess what? She screamed. AGAIN. She backed away and kept rubbing her eyes because she saw Mark in front of her. "Okay your head is even more damaged than usual."
"Hey! And I'm sorry it's not you, it's me."
"You sound like your dumping me."
"You know I don't mean it like that!"
"Whatever let's just get you home before this weather gets any worse." She felt better having Elliot walk her home but still had something unwanted constantly popping in her mind... Mark. And once she went to bed later she couldn't sleep but could only hold the pillow over her head listening and crying behind Mark's voice mails. She flipped open her phone and hopelessly stared at her wallpaper to keep her loyalty spirit up, not answering his messages. It was a selfie of her and Elliot she took while they were watching movies the other time. She was perky and smiling and he looked fierce. A tear dropped onto the screen. 'I'll... I'll talk to Elliot...'
Renee's concert
Ah yes, the time had finally come for Renee's concert. Bridget, Kiki, Wesley and Elliot had already taken their seats (in that order) in an audience of 24,000 people. 24,000! Bridget wore a cream top with short puff sleeves and a long carolina blue granny skirt with red flats, Elliot was wearing a bad boy leather jacket with the usual and Kiki alongside Wesley wore what they always wear.
"Did you guys really have to drag me here?" Elliot sighed folding his arms.
"Oh Elliot I'm sure we'll have a blast watching Renee and Corina perform." Wesley smiled.
"Yeah! Thanks Wes for buying us tickets!"
"That's quite alright Kiki think of it as a treat for your work at the cafe."
"Saves us from writing your pay-checks." Elliot grumbled, Wesley elbowed him. "-Ow!"
"Suh-weet there's popcorn on the seat.. and it tastes good! BEST. CONCERT. EVER! Om-nom-nom!"
"Eww..." Said Bridget.
Backstage
"Let me in you big bone-head I'm friends with Renee!" Zoey yelled at a buff security guard who was standing in front of Renee's dressing room door.
"You got any proof?"
"Just let me in I have rights!"
"It's alright let her in." Renee said through the door. The security guard stood aside and Zoey stuck her tongue out at him before walking in. In there was Renee sitting in front of the mirror, her hairstylist adding some finishing touches, Gretchen beside her talking into her her piece, (remember her? I love how I never forget or leave out any of the original characters) and Corina sitting on a white modern sofa to the left drinking some relaxing tea. Gretchen was still wearing the rainbow stone necklace and became Renee's clumsy assistant. The walls were white, there were a line of bulb mirrors with hair products and cosmetics laid along the table, there was a snack table with marsh mellows, bowls of fruit, cupcakes, finger foods (etc) and a chocolate fountain on the right.
"No she said she needs the black ones! Black!" Gretchen said clearer into her earpiece. "Renee they said the substitute boots are still in the fashion department and the designers can't bring them over."
"Go get them then."
"R-Right! We go on in 20 by the way!" She hurried and on her way out she bumped into Zoey.
"M-My fault I'm so so sorr- Oh hey there Zoey."
"Hi Gretch. So your Renee's new assistant?"
"Yep I started only a few weeks ago and I only-"
"TODAY Gretchen."
"Yes Renee! I'll talk to you later Zoey!" She ran out and the sound of her tripping over could be heard. Renee stared at her reflection. "Good help is so hard to find these days."
"Wow you two look flawless!" Corina's hair was down straight, she had smoky eye makeup and she wearing a really padded black leotard. She was wearing flat shoes because she obviously can't walk around in ballet shoes until the show starts. And Renee had smokey makeup on too with her hair tied back in a Kim K ponytail and was wearing what Beyonce was wearing at her famous 2014 VMA's concert except hers was black and she wore thigh high purple boot-heels and a thick gold belt around her waist.
"Well duh, we are stars aren't we?" said Corina. Renee lifted her hand so the back of it was facing her hairstylist, signalling her to leave.
"Why are you here?" Renee asked.
"I just wanted to stop by and wish you guys luck from all of us. We know you'll both kick butt out there!" Zoey's eyes darted right to the snack table. "No way you get all this food to yourself?! And since when were ribs a snack? Your lucky Kiki isn't here. Ooo a chocolate fountain!" Mini mew then flew out of Zoey's front pocket and enlarged himself.
"Chocolate fountain! Prrr mini mew loves chocolate fountains!" and he dived inside of it.
"Aww mini mew now your gonna get pink fur in the chocolate." Zoey pouted, not that she cared because she put a bunch of marsh mellows and melon cubs on a stick and poked it in the chocolate, then ate it. "Aren't you nervous?" Her stuffed mouth blabbed. "I mean there's over 48 thousand eyes out there on you!"
"Really? Didn't notice," Renee replied sarcastically, "It's a life you've got to get used to, I don't exactly want to sing something I didn't write but if it's gonna get these ratings higher I don't care. Either way men will be staring at my ass and girls will be screaming."
"You sound so calm when you say it. Be thankful for the fortune you've got." Zoey replied. The door slammed open and Gretchen's hands were on her knees as she panted.
"I... I got the... I got the b...boots."
"Did you remember to book me an interview for the good-morning show tomorrow?"
"Oh Gosh I knew I forgot something! I'll call them now!" She ran back out again leaving Renee. The girls could hear the co-director yelling down the hallway: "15 minutes people 15! Back up dancers need to go that way! Come on people let's move!"
"I guess that's my queue." Said Corina standing. "How do I look?" Zoey gave a thumbs up with chocolate smeared around her mouth. Corina rolled her eyes and left.
"I better go too," Said Zoey, "15 minutes isn't nearly long enough for me to find my seat with the others. Let's go mini mew." Mini mew laid in the chocolate as if it were a jaccuzi."Aww man."came out of the chocolate fountain brown instead of pink so Zoey quickly wiped him and her mouth with some wipes, once he was clean Mini mew shrunk back into her pocket.
"Aww man." He came out of the fountain brown instead of pink so Zoey quickly wiped him and her mouth with some wipes, once he was clean Mini mew shrunk back into her pocket.
"Zoey..." Renee said. Zoey stopped her tracks and turned to Renee. "If you ever need to talk... I'm here." That was strange. She had no clue what that was about but shrugged it off. "Uhh... yeah ok. Break a leg!" Now Renee was in her dressing room alone looking into her reflection and thinking. Then the door knocked. "Come in." And entered a janitor who was super super incredibly unbelievably unrealistically hot or in other words, was Max Schneider. (If you don't know who that is LOOK HIM UP NOW BECAUSE HE IS MY HUSBAND! This Janitor is Max Schneider so it would help if you knew what he looked like, though picture him about Renee's height.). "I got a call about a spillage." He said in a funny accent.
"Over there." Renee pointed to a big stained mess Gretchen made earlier. The young janitor started mopping it up as Renee studied herself in the big bright mirrors. This Janitor had a thick brunette beard and moustache and his blue cap covered his eyes. "How are you?" He asked, but she ignored him. The Janitor had a funny Italian accent. "So you just sit in here staring at your reflection all night? Always wondered what girls do in dressing rooms." He said.
"Is it really your job to tell me what to do?" She said typing on her phone.
"I just didn't think you'd wanna miss your own concert Crabby," he smirked, "But I guess it's the sarcastic snappy ones like you that make this industry interesting." But Renee ignored him again. "Not much of a talker I get it. So what's this deal with you? I've always wondered; your talented, beautiful, mature, have that greaaat sense of humour everyone loves. How comes you haven't had a boyfriend? It makes no sense."
"My love life is for me to know and for you to keep your pointy nose out of."
"So you don't plan on any romance?"
"I don't have time, I'm a lone wolf with a busy time schedule."
"And a beautiful face-"
"Look last time I recall janitors didn't talk this much. And they weren't so-"
"Handsome? Courageous?"
"Cocky. Keep talking and-"
"You'll call security yeah yeah. I'm sorry your highness." When Renee finally looked away from the mirror at him he turned his back, so she couldn't see his face.
"Do I know you from somewhere?"
"I don't believe we've met. I wouldn't forget such a pretty face." Renee only moved her eyes trying to recall but couldn't figure him out since he wasn't facing her. "And you're supposed to be a janitor? How old are you?" She crossed her arms.
"18 ma'am."
"Hm." 'Pretty young for such a thick beard.' He carried on mopping the spot that had already been mopped up a minute after he entered the room. Something about him didn't sit right with her. "That spots clean now. You can leave."
"Yeah... I just wanted to stay longer to enjoy the view." Renee ignored him, then he added, "This table of snacks is the most beautiful view I've ever seen."
"I'm laughing, just not externally."
"I'm kidding jheez, girl can't take a joke. Well it was nice meeting you Roberts." The janitor opened the door and smirked at her through the mirror. Once she caught him in the mirror he exited. Renee looked around her feet wondering what that was all about.
"7 minutes people!" Renee finally got up and entered the hallway with her two body guards beside her until up ahead came about a dozen screaming teenage girls with posters and matching t-shirts came herding in like bulls, luckily they were stopped by more security.
"Okay calm down! What are these girls doing down here?!" A woman asked.
"We heard Jesse Taylor was down here! WHERE'S JESSE?!"
"AHH! Jesse is bae! BAE I TELL YOU!"
"Move out the way lady, I NEEEED to sniff Jesse's hair! I hear it smells like lemons!"
"Back off he's mine!"
"Nu-uh I have 214 posters of him, and that's just my bathroom!"
"WE LOVE YOU JESSE TAYLOR!"
'Jesse Taylor?' Renee thought. THAT'S where she had seen the janitor before. He's a young actor, dancer and musician girls go gaga for. [I just chose two hot names and put them together, when I searched this I found some bald wrestler so just verifying he does not look like him] Renee turned around and saw the janitor sneaking away. He stopped, turning his head as he lifted his cap to show his bright green eyes and pulled down the fake beard. They're eyes met. She finally got a good look at his face. His gorgeous face. He smirked and winked at her, letting go of the fake facial hair so it snapped back to his face and he ran off. Then Gretchen came. "Renee come on let's go! Your on in five minutes!"
The others
Zoey finally found her seat with the others and sat next to Bridget. Just so it wouldn't seem suspicious that she'd sat next to him for the second time in a row even though Wesley already knew.
"There you are Zoey we thought you got lost." Said Bridget.
"I DID!" She yelled. "Why did we have to get seats right at the back anyway?!"
"The front row tickets sold out in under 20 minutes." Said Wesley. All of a sudden the entire audience fell silent and the lights blacked out so the show must've been starting meanwhile Renee was walking fast underneath the stage with a bunch of people talking on earpieces, touching up her hair and make up or adjusting her clothes walking beside her. The beat started making the crowd go wild and Renee stood on a platform with her legs shoulder-width apart and hands on hips. The platform rised into the stage and the floor became smoke and behind her were big purple lights spelling "RENEE". [I changed some of these lyrics to dial down the sexual-ness a notch]
"Driver, roll up the partition, please
Driver, roll up the partition, please I don't need you seeing Renee on her knees
Took 45 minutes to get all dressed up
We ain't even gonna make it to this club"
The crowd woo'd Renee who was dancing with her backup dancers and Bridget, Kiki and Zoey cheered loudly in particular. Wesley and Elliot were shocked with their mouths slightly open, watching Renee move all sexy.
"Does this count as cheating?" Elliot whispered not looking away.
"I have no idea..." Wesley whispered back. Zoey looked over at Elliot and then tapped Kiki's shoulder. "Kiki got any popcorn left?" Kiki held the bucket to her and she took a handful and threw it at Elliot, it made him stop drawling over Renee and remember he has a girlfriend right there that could claw him up anytime.
The backup dancers covered Renee with two giant black angel wings with only a huge shadow of her dancing around which was special affects as ballerinas danced along the stage.
"There's Corina!" Bridget pointed.
"GOOOOOO CORINA WOOOOO!" Kiki howled.
"Look at them go!" Zoey clapped.
"The kind of girl you like is right here with me.."
They dropped the wings and Renee's outfit had changed to a long wine purple slit dress which made the audience cheer louder and ask "how did she do that?" And the hiding hotty "Jesse Taylor" was leaning against a wall watching her perform from the backstage screen.
[I wish I could temporarily give you guys my brain because I can actually picture this whole performance and it looks so cool, another reason why I want this book to be a movie -cries-)After the concert everyone went backstage to congratulate Renee and Corina.
"That was so awesome you guys you totally rocked!"
"Kiki's right!" Said Bridget. "You did a tremendous job."
"We know." Corina smirked doing Corina's signature hair flick. Zoey pulled Elliot aside and used her fist to nervously cover her mouth. "Elly we need to talk-"
"Elliot come over here for a sec!" Wesley called. Elliot passed her and Zoey sighed. Hours later Elliot decided to have a late night shower and the whole time Zoey was trying to find the right time to talk to him but he always had something to do. Elliot was rinsing his hair when the shower door slid to the side and Zoey stood there, covering her body with her hands. Elliot looked at her and just carried on washing his hair as she stepped in. She was now facing his back. Feeling the temperature of the water she wanted to hop out ASAP. "Do you always take cold showers like this?"
"Sometimes."
"Not the point. We should talk."
"About what?" But Zoey fell silent not thinking so far ahead. She didn't know or plan what she was to say to him exactly. She let the cold rapid daggers of water make her hair and body soaked. "Someone's holding back."
"-No, I'm not I, I'm.. Ugh forget it never mind." She was about to step out but Elliot pulled her arm back.
"If you wanna say something just say it."
"...I-I'm sorry." She stuttered randomly.
"For what?"
"For being horrible to you for so long and... and for not being loyal to you. I'm sorry." She was referring to her kiss with Mark. Elliot left a pause as well.
"We both said things we didn't mean. I'm over it now."
"No I mean I'm really sorry. I'm just.. I'm sorry for everything please understand!"
"Stop apologizing." Zoey's eyes started to water.
"I-I don't want us to break up Elliot... I'm so happy with you.. I don't want to do something to mess this up and I don't want you to find another girl! I! I!"
"I told you I'm not into that stuff. I prefer the goofy corny snorting mutant-half-cat type." Zoey laughed only a little wiping away her tears even though she was wet.
"Stupid Elliot.." She murmured smiling. Looking at Elliot for the moment made her want to cry all over again. The only word that came springing to mind was 'sorry'. She held onto Elliot's body and he held her into his arms, the water of the shower started to feel hot to them. "I look up to you so much Elly, I never thought you'd be the person to make me who I am I'll do whatever I have to to keep you I swear just please!" Her hold on him tightened as she started to speed-talk and cry. "Please please please don't leave me I need you you gotta understand and promise me that no matter what happens you'll-!"
"Zoey stop." He said, grabbing her arms. She broke down bursting into tears and squinting from the water dashing at her face. She kept nodding still apologizing in her mind. "Is there something you're not telling me?" Elliot's eyes were shooting daggers again to break Zoey apart. He grew suspicious. Zoey could see it on his face too. He held her arms up high and kissed her. He now held her two arms up with one hand and used the other to press against the steamed glass on the shower window making their figures blurred from the outside, only the hand visible. He ringed the hand holding her wrists up high around her waist. They're skin must have been pruned by now.
The next day was school and Zoey was in History class.
"Ok attention class settle down, so who can give me their knowledge on some facts about Hitler from their homework?" But the teachers voice was faint, Zoey barely heard it. She was too busy staring down into her table not knowing what to do. 'I can't believe I have to keep lying to Elliot when it's killing me this much! Well I suppose I don't have to- I can always tell him the truth..' Then she held onto her head, 'What are you saying you can't do that! Argg this is all Mark's fault! Why did I have to hear all this from him? I can't get back together with Mark especially not after how good Elliot's been treating me! But I still don't understand... why did I kiss him back?'
"Ms Hanson if you would pay attention." Which snapped Zoey out of it. Megan sat behind her as usual and Mimi sat to her left.
"Zoe what's with you you look super out of it." Megan whispered.
"Yeah did something happen with you and Elliot?"
"No it's nothing really guys I'm just a little tired."
"Are you sure? I wouldn't be surprised if your fighting got out of control. Maybe-"
"Ok Ms Hanson since you love talking so much maybe you'd like to share some facts about Hitler to the class."
"Oh umm... uhh... he... he... had a dog?"
"You obviously did not do the homework. Detention. Please wait outside in the hallway." On her way out Megan whispered "Sorry Zoe that was my fault."
"Ms Yanagi would you like to join her in the hallway?"
"No miss..." When Zoey got outside the hallways were empty since everyone was in class. "Ms Briggs is such a bitch!" She stomped. "How can this day possibly get any worse?" Then Mark was coming, helping out a teacher carry supply's like the nice little boy he was when he wasn't macking on other dudes girlfriends! "Uh oh, that's how!" She looked around and quickly hid in the janitor's closet until Mark passed her, then slid down the wall and ducked her head in her knees. At least she was finally alone to try and figure out what her heart was telling her.
At lunch Megan was at the theatre studio so Mimi sat in the cafeteria, not eating but watching Wyatt play his ukelele for everyone in the cafeteria as entertainment. A girl played keyboard and a guy banged his drum sticks on the table. The kids in the cafeteria really liked their music and his singing, he was awesome for a freshman.
" Is it too late now to say sorry? Yeah, I know-oh-oh, that I let you down is it too late to say I'm sorry now..." He sang. The crowd cheered (Mimi the loudest) and shouted: "Sing another one! Sing hey there future husband! Do some Chris Brown!" Mimi rolled her eyes when the three Becky's came in and interrupted Wyatt's singing.
"Oh hi, you come to make a request for my ukelele?" He played a quick tune that the people clapped for.
"You look like your guitar got caught in the dryer." Said Becky#1.
"This is OUR table." Becky#2 clicked. "We're sitting here so, ahem, MOVE freshman!"
"I don't see your butt on it." Wyatt retorted, "Ooo!" spread across the crowd.
"Excuuuse me?" Becky#2.
"You heard me. Your not even here to eat your just here to batter your eyelashes and pout your lips. But if you just ask nicely I'd be happy to give you your seat."
"Ok. Please can we-" Becky#3 said before Becky#2 flicked her forehead. "Ow!"
"Don't actually ask politely!"
"We are NOT gonna beg losers like you!" Becky#1 scoffed. "And that's because people that eat lunch AT lunch are toatz redic!"
"Well llunch is for two things; Eating.. and enjoying swet sweet music. Now if you don't mind, your blocking my audience." Wyatt carried on singing and making music with his friends and the Becky's had no choice but to leave. Becky#3 started bopping along to it and Becky#2 flicked her forehead again pulling her away.
"What? They're really good."
"It's a good thing your pretty." #2 sighed. Zoey came into the cafeteria and waited in line with her tray with Mark waiting behind her. She made agitated facial expressions but didn't move her body for him to notice."
"Zoey? I need to ask you something."
"Is this really the best time to talk? There's a lot of people around."
"Your right. Meet me after school in the old club room. It'll be empty."
"But I..." She turned around and Mark was gone. "Have to meet Elliot..." At this time Megan struggled to see the casting list for the school play amongst the swarm of kids blocking her in the school theatre. Her hunch was correct, Brady was the lead but she got stuck as cactus#1. As furious as she was that didn't mean she was giving up on the kiss yet. After school Elliot was probably waiting for Zoey in his car but she made a quick stop to Mark who was waiting for her.
"There's my strawberry."
"D-Don't call me that. Look Mark I don't think I can be with you. Not anymore. I'm with Elliot now..."
"I won't take no for an answer. Don't you think about me?"
"I DID think about you and they weren't positive things. Don't you think you've hurt me too much for things to be okay now? I mean before i just wanted to at least stay friends but now? I don't even want THAT. You've changed Mark. You've become selfish. Not once yesterday did I heard you think about ME-"
"Selfish? You think I was only thinking about myself? I was thinking of you Zoey! I let you go because I thought you would be happy with someone else and I did it because I love you! But now I realize I was a fool to ever leave your side. A girl like you comes once in a life time and should be treasured.. I was being dumb and I was wrong and I let you down I know but you have to forgive me... Whenever I'm not with you I'm thinking about you. Day and night. What would it take to show you I'm sorry?"
She was silent for a moment. "You're making this so hard for me, well, not hard enough to say that whar we had is history Mark. I don't think we could ever rebuild what we had." Whenever she spoke she pressed her fingers gently on her bow that Elliot got her to keep her faith and resistance up and to remind her that she has a boyfriend. If she didn't hold onto the bow she might just be giving into his temptation.
"What's that?" He asked. Zoey was hoping he wouldn't see it.
"W-What's what?"
"That. Around your neck. Where's the bell I gave you?"
She didn't speak. Mark clocked it was a gift from Elliot, who else? This got Mark fed up. "Zoey I sometimes wonder if you've been listening to yourself lately. This is your BOSS you're talking about. I mean, it's gross! I mean weren't you the one always saying that he was an obnoxious, cruel cold-blooded jerk? Remember all the times he got you so mad, all the times he lowered your paychecks for doing the most work out of everybody! The times he teased you and took you for granted. He never treated you fairly and-"
"He's just a pensive guy-!"
"He treated you like dirt! And every time he made you furious or ready to cry I was there to pick you back up. I waited for you everyday after your shifts no matter how long he made work overtime because I care about you that much. Your eyes are deceiving you because in reality, nothing's changed. He's still just your horrible boss and your still putting up with his shit!" Zoey kept her head down, a tear trying to escape each eye. She had stopped holding onto the bow and Mark's words were starting to give in slowly. "Sorry I didn't mean to take it that far.." There was a pause.
"I need to go." She stuttered. Mark sighed looking at the wall.
"Okay, I won't force you by controlling how you feel but just... give what I've said some thought. I'll see you later.." He pecked her on the cheek and walked off and Zoey was confused with a bright red blush. For the first time in a while Mark made her heart race. She'd forgotten how the tap of his lips felt on her face. 'Oh no! Elliot!' She rushed off to the front of the school where Elliot stood looking at his phone.
"Sorry," she panted, "Something came up."
"Whatever let's just go. Wesley had to borrow the car so were walking."
"Okay."
They started to walk and Zoey didn't talk much "Something on you mind?"
"Why do you say that?"
"Because you keep staring at your feet. Also you left the house with odd socks today."
"Huh-?" She looked down and smacked her forehead at the different shades of grey. "NOW someone tells me."
"Any more cat transformations been happeni-?"
"Nope! Guess that means I'm better and we can forget about that haha." She laughed snorting.
"Yeah well I did the research and it says unless you were...*ahem* then there was nothing else that could have possibly caused you to transform."
"Elly I said forget about it I'm over it and you can be too!"
"Calm down your lucky I even did research for you!"
Zoey began to fake progress her love and battered her eyelashes. "Ohhh why thankkk youu Elly you handsome devil you! How can I ever repay yeee?"
"Very funny."
"I'm sure it was."
"I'm sure you'll be laughing when I lower your paycheck."
"Like you can even do that, there has to be a law."
"You seem to forget I'm still your boss, you do as I say or you won't be seeing money for a long time." He then touched her thigh. "That means Anything I say." He smirked. He removed his hand and stuck them back in his pockets. "No seriously, I can take money out whenever I want, even now if I wanted to." Of course this was just Elliot's usual bluff, though Zoey took it seriously as always.
"I can't believe you're such a pig!"
"Pig? At least I don't snort when I laugh."
"Oh like you ever laugh!"
"Something is definitely up with you today, you're over reacting more than usual."
"Over reacting? Well SORRY if I don't like it when my boyfriend is constantly being such a- you know what I'm not going over this again we're passed it."
"Then why haven't you shut up?"
Zoey's mouth held open in offence to his rude comment. "You know what you're a jerk! I'll go the rest of the journey alone thank you very much!" Elliot stopped walking and watched her run off through a different route. 'Was she not the one asking me walk her home even if she told me not to?' He knew something was up.
At the cafe
Corina was sipping her afternoon tea at her table with Zoey stressing out in front of her.
"Urgh I don't see the point of us working today!" Zoey whined, "Renee's at a red carpet event and you- well you don't do anything!"
"Where are Bridget and Kiki?" Corina asked. Kiki was upstairs in the spare room and her gums were still in pain from the dentist appointment. Bridget was there too and holding a tube of pills.
"Kiki you have to take your medicine or your gums will get infec-"
"No! I don't want that! Kiki refuses!" She chased Kiki around the room but she kept jumping from wall to ceiling. Eventually Bridget pinned Kiki down on the bed so she was on top of her. She forced the pill to her mouth but Kiki hit the tube so they all fell on the floor. "Kiki look what you've done!" She struggled to find the pills that fell off which gave Kiki the perfect opportunity to escape. So just after Corina asked that Bridget and Kiki came rambling down the stairs and ran around the cafe frightening of the customers.
"You'll never catch me 'coppa!" She breathed fire to keep Bridget's hands away and ran out the back.
"Kiki come back!" The customers thought Kiki's fire breath was an act so they clapped and lets tips on their tables. Corina smirked. "Oh look more customers, well since no one else is available looks like you've gotta serve them-"
"-Or YOU could do some work princess Corina."
"No thanks, I'll stick to watching from waaay over here." Zoey moaned. "I wonder if Renee's having better luck." At the red carpet event Renee posed looking as beautiful as ever with photographers at every corner snapping pictures of her. She wore a long black one sleeve dress with a tall slit in the skirt and lot's of fitted gold accessories. She stepped away from the photo area flicking her hair where a few people talked to her and gave her interviews. Standing alone for a minute she recognised the notorious owner of a dirty magazine company (like playboy) approaching her. He was known for hiring young celebrity girls to model nude and then sometimes just sometimes, hooking up with them.
"Renee Roberts! I'm Dan Cleveland, [random name mash] I'm sure your familiar with my work."
"I sure am."
"Listen, I've had my eye on you for quite some time now and I think you'd be perfect as our next model. Think about it this could definitely 1 up your career not mention get you a boat load'a cash."
"You mean you want me to show the world my body for money?" Just then Renee's manager joined them to see what they were discussing.
"Well when you say it like that it almost sounds bad! Take a look at the hottest celebrities that have worked with me; Kim Kardashian, Britney Spears, Kate Upton- and look where they are now! How 'bout it baby?" Renee folded her arms and looked to the side.
"-How about forget it, you twisted perverted weirdo. Your disgusting." The man's eyes and mouth shrunk into dots. "H-Huh?!"
"Renee! S-she didn't mean that she young she doesn't know what she's saying haha. teenagers!" Her manager smiled. Then he turned around and whispered' "Watch your mouth Roberts this could give you a bad image-"
"Like I care. As my manager you should be against this, your fired." The manager took off looking sad and she turned back around. "Your like, what, 60 years old just get a girlfriend or something. You know what I think about those sell-outs? They sicken me. And where's the talent in this? I'm sticking to what I believe in and you can't buy me. Later." She turned around but he caught her arm.
"Come on baby, I'm talking big money. How much to get you on my payroll? 8? 9 million?" If only she could use her powers here to shred this guy to bits.
"Hey quit it!"
"I'll quit after you accept my offer-"
"-She said she ain't for sell." All of a sudden Jesse Taylor stepped in.
"Hey I know you from somewhere, your that dolly always on the TV. What you got with Roberts?" Jesse flashed a sexy smile.
"She's my girlfriend."
"What-?!"
"Girlfriend?" Renee jumped.
"Now if you'll excuse us." He took Renee and they got as far away from him as possible. "Do I get a thank you hug?" Renee gave him a pissed look.
"Worth a shot."
"And how dare you tell man pervert we're-"
"Relax he barely knew my name he's got no one to tell."
Renee sighed and crossed her arms. "So do I call you Jesse or janitor?"
"That was only because I was trying to get away from those screaming fans until one of your stupid guards sent me to your room."
"So where's your beard an accent gone?"
"Hey, at least I didn't lie about my age. So you a feminist or something?"
"About the offer? No but I was right bribing girls into selling/showing their bodies? It's foul and repulsive and so are a majority of the people here." Jesse admired how Renee was never afraid to say what she thought no matter where she was and could still keep it classy.
"I guess your right. That man was an idiot for asking you to be his next model."
"Excuse me?"
"I just mean because it's not your thing. That and you have bad relations with men."
"What? I do not have bad relations with men! It's not my fault they're all just greedy and self-centred."
"If your so comfortable around men then how comes you don't have a boyfriend?"
"I told you already I'm a busy person I have no time for their games."
"And by games you mean the gossip?" Renee remained silent.
"Why do you even want to know this your the kind of bozo that pulls fans from the audience and dances on them on stage, don't think I haven't seen your performance online. I don't see you with a girlfriend."
"So what I'm hearing is... you watch my concerts?" He smiled and she rolled her eyes, that was not right at all. "And for your information that in the script I had to do it, sometimes you just gotta maje the crowd go crazy."
"Yeah well I'm not into those stunts."
"They're not stunts. I don't know if you've noticed but I'm a big symbol to these girls, having a girlfriend could break that all."
"1) I'm a big symbol to them as well 2) It's a good thing you don't nor will never have one."
"That's not true I've got ladies lined up for me. Of course I want to be with someone but now is bad timing that's all..."
"Oh yeah? And who is it you wanna be with?" But she meant it as a sarcastic joke, expecting him to say Beyonce. He leaned over her seductively and smirked. His bright green eyes had taken set on her purple ones and his body only inches away from hers.
"You."
Renee blushed incredibly and gritted her teeth looking away. "Whatever, just get off me knuckle head." She pushed him off of her and looked to make sure no one had saw that while he put his hands in his pockets.
"That's jessie the janitor to you."
"Shut up." She pushed him and laughed. Then she quickly stopped and covered her mouth. Did she just... laugh? With HIM?
"Who knew the lone wolf had a sense of humour." Jesse's manager who was a short red-head woman quickly came over.
"Jesse the press are waiting for you." He looked back at Renee and smiled.
"Roberts."
"Jesse." He took off and for the first time ever Renee spaced out. Meanwhile Megan and Mimi had started their first shifts of their first jobs. Mimi wasn't enjoying her job because it smelt like a greasy sock and her co-workers were obnoxious geeks who couldn't stop flirting with her and Megan wasn't doing so good either, she kept giving people the wrong flavours and at one point got so mad she started screaming at the kids and threatening them. Now let's rewind a bit back to when Bridget and Kiki were chasing each other earlier: Kiki ran around the lab and after knocking a few test tubes off the desks Bridget caught her but she kept squirming.
"Kiki stop moving or you won't feel better now will you?!"
"Neveerrrrrr!"
"I can't control you when your all- THAT'S IT! The water! I've been so blind it's not the bucket I should be focusing on it's THE WATER! I have to learn how to control the water! Thanks Kiki!" Bridget forced the pill into her mouth and hurried out in a confident mood which wasn't like her. That night Elliot went out for a walk in the park and Mark was walking the other direction (Ring a bell?) Elliot had his head down and eyes closed with his hands in his pockets looking as cool as ever and when they passed each other you could hear the gong. Mark stopped walking and turning to look at him.
"So you and Zoey huh?" Elliot's trail came to a stop and he turned around.
"Why do you care?"
"I don't. In fact I'm happy for you."
"You are?"
"Yeah. She's a great, unique and funny girl and I think that your very lucky.." Elliot didn't trust him, not for a second. He just stood giving Mark uncomfortable negative looks. "Come on Elliot, I know we haven't exactly seen eye-to-eye but I say we put our differences aside this once and start fresh. She's been through a lot and I don't want to be at the bad end of it all." Mark walked forward slightly and held out his hand. Elliot looked at him, then his hand, then back at him.
"She's been through a lot huh? And whose fault was that?" He walked away only a couple of steps.
"And for the record, I'll never trust you. You better stay away from Zoey. Or you will be sorry-"
"And what if I don't?"
Elliot turned his head half way over his shoulder with a tense look for a warning. "Then I'll expose your secret." Mark's eyes stunned open and he gulped watching Elliot walk away.
She dialled Renee's number in a panic. "R-Renee? I've thought about what you said and.. can I come over? ...Great thanks!" The next day Zoey spent her day off visiting Renee's penthouse apartment though she Renee was at an advantage since it was her day off. She knocked on the door three times. "Oh it's you." Zoey shut the door behind her and studied the room. It was big and all white with nice furniture and a shiny kitchen, a fireplace and a 200 inch TV she never uses. 'Whoa.. am I in heaven?' "Take a seat." Zoey sat down on a rich white fluffy round chair and bounced. "Ooo this chair is so soft! I love your place Renee its so nice." None of the mews had ever been to Renee's place before so Zoey felt special.
"I know." She poured them a glass of water each in the kitchen, gave Zoey her glass and took a seat opposite her. "T-Thanks."
"So you wanted to talk?"
"Y-Y-Yeah there's.. some stuff I need to get off my chest and I don't know who else to go to."
"Well I'm listening."
"You see..." 'Am I REALLY gonna do this?! Tell Renee everything?! But I need to come clean and I can't go to the girls or Mimi or Megan they'll just freak out! Okay here I go...' Zoey took a long breath out with her eyes squinted shut and her hands clutched onto her knees. "I guess the secrets out.. Elliot and I... w-we're dating!" She waited for Renee's response. She was speechless and had no expression. Then she smirked.
"It was about time."
"IS THAT ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY?! At least show SOME expression!"
"I knew you two would finally come to your senses. So when did this happen?"
"A couple weeks ago but look- there's a problem. Now Mark wants to get back together with me!"
"Well don't fall back to him or he'll only hurt you again."
"That's not all... I sorta... kissed him the other night."
"That kind of abuses the purpose of the term 'girlfriend'? Why would you do that?"
"I don't know! I guess... when you love someone it's hard to have your own judgement sometimes..."
"Love?" Renee asked lifting her eyebrow. Zoey blushed slapping her mouth shut, she didn't mean that.
"T-That's not what I meant! And I don't know why I kissed that selfish ignorant jerk he was using his charms and he was so close to me and holding me it's like I had no control over what I was doing! I know... I've really messed up." Renee's leg crossed over the other.
"So tell me about you and Elliot."
"There's not much to tell, there have been times in the past where we've kissed but they didn't really mean anything. But after Mark broke up with me and Elliot came to see if I was ok I saw a softer side of him. He has a way bigger heart than you think. And after he invited me to that ball I felt different when I got home. As much as I tried to fight it I realised I loved him."
"And is that how you got together?"
"No I was at the cafe when Megan told me I should confess to him in hopes that he'll understand, so that's what I did and at first he made me really mad but he proved himself to me, told me he felt the same way. But I feel like that's the only reason he wants me back. Because he's jealous of seeing me with Elliot. He told me that the only reason he dumped me was because of him. Because he 'loved me and wanted to set me free' or whatever."
"I see."
"Ugh why did he have to step in anyway?! I was managing perfectly fine without him and all of a sudden he-! And now I'm- and he-! Arrg! And now I'm worried because Elliot and I have been fighting a lot lately.."
"Even if you two are fighting more than usual if you really liked each other you'd work through it. And you need get cut Mark out of the picture, keep in mind your the only one who can. Sometimes... sometimes you gotta love yourself just a little more than you love that boy." Zoey thought about what she said and she was right.
"Thanks Renee, I knew you'd know what to say." She smiled. It was the day none of the mews had work and Bridget STILL showed up at the cafe, only Wesley was there. Cutting to the chase she stood on the stomp around the ring of water with the bucket handle around her wrist. Then she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, 100% focusing on the water and using her head to picture and control it's movements. 'Control.. have control..' She whispered. The water rised on it's own and filled the bucket without leaking through the bottom. (As you can see I'm being lazy here and trying to get this scene over with.) Bridget opened her eyes slowly;
"YES! I DID IT!"
"Congratulations," Wesley flashed in front of the door ,"you've mastered the ability to control water. I'm glad to see you finally figured it out."
"Eee I don't believe it! I'm gonna celebrate with some hard-core super fun reading sessions! Thanks Wesley!" He sweat dropped and she ran past him happily despite her slight headache. After she left the water flushed out the bottom again. He looked at it and sighed.
"Let me guess.. I've got to mop this up."
Turns out the girls only had half the day off, they still had to come in at noon so three hours after she Renee's and did a lot of thinking about the whole situation Zoey called Mark.
"Zoey! I didn't think I was gonna hear from you."
"I know. Look, everything you've been saying and doing lately has put a lot of pressure on me. I have no clue why I'm even talking to you right now to be honest."
"I know, I don't deserve your forgiveness."
"No- you don't- which is why I wanna say-"
"Wait before you do I have some things to say too." Mark spoke for a good 20 minutes sweet talking Zoey and putting words into her head. Unfortunately she could feel her guard going down and his influence was feeding into her. She felt as if there was two hands pulling away each side of her heart.
"Mark I..."
Soooo later when she reached the cafe with the phone to her ear she found the rest of the girls standing in the centre of the room talking. "Zoey, your here." Said Bridget. She hung up the phone looking nervous.
"What have you been up to?"
"N-Nothing I was just on the phone."
"I know that look!" Kiki pointed recognizing the look after months of experience, "Have you been talking to a boy?!" Oooo does Zoey gotta-new boyfriend?" Kiki bounced being nosey. Zoey held her phone to her chest. "Kiki back up a little!"
"No lemme see!"
"Kiki!" They pulled at each end of the phone but Kiki won the tug. Then she took a giant jump and looked at Zoey's recent calls to see Mark's name at the top.
"You were talking to Mark? As in Mark that dumped you and left you super depressed Mark?" The mews all looked at her making her blush at her feet and snatch back her phone.
"Y-Yeah.. looks like were back together after all..." Everyone's mouths dropped and gasped, even Renee (who just gasped) but then she just folded her arms a little annoyed that Zoey obviously didn't listen to a word she said. When Zoey announced she was back together with Mark she seemed unsure of herself.
"Whoa whoa back up!" Said Corina, "Your back together?! All these months of 'I miss Mark'-'this reminds me of Mark'-'that smells like Mark' for NOTHING?"
"Hey I never said any of that!"
"Well Zoey I'm very happy for you!" Bridget clapped.
"Yeah you go Zoe!" Renee showed no reaction, Zoey sweat dropped at her knowing she wasn't too excited about the news. Personally Renee preferred the sound of her being with Elliot. Then Elliot came in to see the girls grouped up and gossiping. Kiki hopped forward to him all hyper. "Boss man boss man did ya' hear-?!"
Renee shouted reaching her hand out. "Kiki-!"
"Zoey and Mark are back together!" And just like that the room went completely blank. The words hit him like a rock. He had never been more in shock, the worst pain daggered his heart until his chest hurt and stomach turned. He looked at Zoey who was just nervously looking beside her to the floor, not saying a word and took no time to see his face. The room remained dead silent. 'I can't bare it... I can't look at him in the eye or I don't know WHAT I'll do!' Zoey wanted to cry and Corina, Bridget and Kiki was confused on why there was an awkward silent tension in the room. Elliot heart almost stopped beating. His body tensed and he turned around not standing to look at Zoey. "Isn't it great?!" Kiki cheered.
"Congratulations." He said in a harsh tone. Then he walked back out the way he came but Zoey still didn't look up. She was too wounded by how he said that, he sounded how he did when they barely knew each other. It made her feel like she just got pulled all the way back to the starting line. Like Elliot didn't even know her anymore.
"Did I say something wrong?" Kiki questioned. Zoey pushed everyone out of the way and chased after Elliot. Her tears flying off behind her like a kite. She finally caught up to him and stopped her tracks nervously, he was too hurt to look at her.
"Elliot I'm so sorr-!"
"Is it true?" He turned around. Looked her dead in the eye. She promised herself she wouldn't look at him but she had to and was taking in shaky breaths. There was a silence. "Answer me!" She was crying even more and her face got cold. She gave a scared nod as the tears rivered down her face. "So when were you planning on telling me huh? The honeymoon?"
"Elly it's not like that you have every right to be angry because I wasn't faithful to you but please understand!"
"Listen to yourself! Understand? Understand that you cheated on me-?!"
"I didn't cheat on you!"
"Well you didn't break up with me either! Tell me the truth Zoey do you really have feelings for him?" He prayed this was just an act or a misunderstanding. She might still have feelings for Mark but she definitely did not lose love for Elliot. They shared something really special and that was honesty, Elliot's weakness. Being with Zoey really changed him because the original him would have bottled up his feelings and not said a word. She loved them both but since she was already in a mess... she nodded. Elliot gave her a disgraceful look and slammed the chair his hand had set on to the ground startling Zoey. Then he attempted to stormed away but Zoey held him back "Elliot please don't go PLEASE!"
"I knew it. We were all fools to believe you could EVER get over your prissy little school crushes. I-I mean one minute your over him and the next your in love with him again! Make up your mind before you choose to play and hurt people like this! And quit pretending there IS no reason you chose him over me. You were just using me as your rebound."
"No I wasn't!"
"Yes you was! Zoey your the first and only girl I've ever truly loved in fact all I've wanted was to be with you! Just when I thought I would never find somebody to fall for I had you in my arms. I might not be the blue night but I'd devote my life to saving you. I mean I told you everything how could you do this to me? I told you all my secrets, things I never thought I could share, things nobodies every heard, things that made me.. that made me self-concious! ..All I've ever wanted since this crazy adventure started was to be with you because I loved you!" Zoey's tears splashed onto the floor, if anything she could have lost a lot of weight from the crying she had put up in this story. She was so quiet because every word from his lips were right, he had done nothing wrong so why was he suffering again? She had to admit she'd gotten a lot further with Elliot than she did with Mark.
"I'm sorry..." Her voice breaking. She stepped closer to him to touch his arm but he kept his distance.
"I won't be your second pick Zoey. You chose him.. We shared things, we DID things, that made me think we really got somewhere and yet here we are again. And to think I really fell for you..." He turned away until Zoey reached out her hand. "Elly!" He came to a stop not turning around.
"Don't call me that." Then he left the room for Zoey to cry. Every time she opened her mouth things got even worse so there was nothing she could do. She lost him for good. She couldn't stay in the cafe for another second so she ran into to the diner where the girls were.
"What happened in there?" Corina asked but Zoey just ran straight through the room and left the cafe in tears.
"What happened to Zoey her eyes are all red!"
"I don't know Kiki." Bridget worried. Renee just stared at the doors she ran out through with her arms crossed and Wesley looked in the same direction from the kitchen. While Zoey was running through the, fortunately, empty streets of Tokyo Mark was up ahead but before he could even question she ran straight into his arms and hid her face in his shirt, wrinkling it up.
"Zoey what happened?" She had no voice left to talk but only bawled out more tears. He hugged her tightly and stroked her hair. "It's alright.. I'm here." His tender whispers quieted her down after a while and she let go of him so he got a good look at her face. His hand went from the back of her head to cupping her neck with her hair under his hand, then he held her cheek. "What is it strawberry...?" She stood on her toes and crossed her arms around his neck with her face pressed on his shoulder, his arms wrapped around her waist. "Let's go to my house. We'll get you cleaned up, ok?" Zoey hugged him tighter and nodded. She let go of him and they held hands throughout the journey, but she felt the worst weight on her back...
Guilt.
Noooooo she left Elliot for Mark! After all he did for her right?! Apart from the end I hope you liked that CH I know it was probably really emotional and a big downer so if you wanna scream at me to tell me a part you liked or have any ideas that I might use be sure to leave a review right there, like I've said I read and reply to every single one. And if you've never reviewed this'll be a great time to start! ;) Let the hate begin! Also tell me if you like Jesse or not and if you don't know who Max Schneider is LOOK HIM UP GURRLL... or boiii! I had fun yet again writing CH25 for you all.. well except the breakup I was almost in tears lol
I know what your all thinking now but I can't help the CH's getting INSANELY long I'm so sorry but I wanted this all to be in the same CH and not cut it in half but if you have a problem with it just say because I know it's confusing and frustrating to find where you got up to. I promise I'll try to make them shorter after this one, around 4-5k words each and not 11k like this one 0.o My advice is to break it down when your reading this. Since there's nothing left to say I'll see you all in CH26! :P
Next time: Bridget and Corina have mastered their new abilities, now it's Kiki and Renee's turn to learn their awesome new tricks and, speaking of Renee... what stunt will Jesse pull next? Will he finally win her cold-heart? How does Elliot behave around Zoey at work now that they're ex's? And for how long WILL they be ex's? Is Wesley in for a surprise visit? Sh*t's getting real! ;-D
