Chapter 2: Things should have been Different!
Zoe sat in Koji's Jeep. Her head against the backing closing her eyes, her mind flashed with images of life before Scotland. She did dare speak the accent she picked up there. Mama would kill her and her friend's well she didn't know. She had been gone for so long, Takuya her first love was happy now and so where her other friends. Even Koji had things other then Zoe to think about. The drive to her house was silent if any other feeling. She watched the shadows dancing on the ceiling of the car, she need to find something to hold on to and hold on. She had made a mistake leaving her family and friends, she had felt it when she came back and now it was growing. She somehow felt that this was the wrong future. The thought of facing her family, the ones that would never come visit her on special parent weekends, the ones who loved her little sister they had who never had met her older sister. The things that changed her life in the moment she opened the door of the mansion would affect her forever. The maid opened the door, it was 10pm. The women had a nightcap and gown like the old days and said in the sleepy tone, "miss, who do you need to speak to?" "Nina, it me Zoe and I want to talk to papa and mama!" Zoe said. Nina's eyes widened and glazed over and then she nodded. Zoe walked into the house she had grown-up in. The maid who had left her in the parlor would never let the gangly blond girl of seven into this room without a fight. She looked around at the photos on the mantle. There was two of her as a young child. None of them were of the ones she had sent home from school. Then there was five of a Blond brown-eyed girl of six who must be her little sister and mama and papa sitting behind her in all them. Her thoughts stretched for miles, the thought of a little sister she never met hurt her inside. Zoe never heard the door open and her father come in. She swung around when her father came into the room. "Papa!" exclaimed Zoe. Her father had no open arms like the time before. Only an angry face and a glare that pierced her heart. "Papa?" "Don't call me that! Your not seven anymore! Anyways what are you doing here so late? You told Mama that you would be here 5pm. You were not in sight!" he said grumpily. "I'm really sorry, I need to visit some old friends!" Zoe whispered. "The reason I sent you away was because you hung out with that trash." He yelled. "You never told me and then you hide my little sister from me." She yelled. "Its not always about you Child!" he snorted. "It is about me! I need a place to sleep tonight and then I will leave in the morning and stay with a friend you call "Trash"!" she yelled. "Go to bed then! Nina give her the room that she used to have!" he yelled and stormed away into his study. Nina asked if she had much baggage and then showed her the old room. It looked like a twelve year old room. The dolls she collected were still there even the books she had forgotten were in the same place it was supposed to be. It was strange being back home. Her tears streamed down her face and onto the carpet. The bathroom that connected her to her old playroom was open and a little girl looked in. "Who are you?" she asked in a small voice. "I'm Zoey and you?" Zoe asked. "I'm Lizzy, you're my sister right? Mama said, you would be angry if I said hi earlier but I don't care!" she giggled. Zoe eyes smiled and then she said, "Mama, was always weird about that stuff when I was a kid!" Then the girl fully came in and sat with Zoe and talked threw the night. Finally the little girl fell asleep in Zoe's lap with a smile on her small face. To bad I'm leaving thought Zoey. Poor Lizzy needs friends!
Zoe woke up to a dark sad morning with no sun insight. The rain was pouring and Zoe knew she had to leave soon. She pulled light jeans on and a green top then added sandals and pulled her hair up. She dragged her luggage to the door and went to the breakfast she dreaded all night. The room was filled with servants and maids. The all stood still as Zoe walked in. Finally one of them came with enough courage to speak. "Miss Zoey, You have come home!" she said. "I am leaving soon because of father's wishes though." She mumbled. "Breakfast never starts this early Miss. I am really sorry but we only have food in the kitchen for us maids!" she said. "Then I will eat with you then! I did it when I was young and I will do it now!" Zoe grumbled. They only nodded and looked toward the kitchen. Zoe ate eggs and bacon. She felt even unwelcome to them. It was one thing that made her not yell and scream at them. She thought of her father and mother and Lizzy.they held her back from becoming them. Father was a warrior he was never friendly anymore, Mother had lost her fight and Lizzy had no voice. Her life surround around her and leaving home for good.
Zoe stood up with a start; Nina just kept reading the newspaper. "I'm leaving Nina! Tell I love her and it to Papa and Lizzy!" Nina nodded and Zoe went to the front mom door. Luggage in one hand and one last glace at the home she would never see again. At lease in this lifetime.
Zoe would find out in a matter of hours that this life was the fake life. Zoe would have a second chance and things would be different. Can she possibly change?
