Memories-Chapter Three: Where To?
Zoey woke to the sound of a dull roar. She rubbed her blood-shot eyes groggily and looked around. Apparently, she was on Nicole's blue Jet-X with Chase, zooming down some country road. Remembering the good times with Nicole brought tears to Zoey's eyes.
"Your up" Chase's voice startled her out of dream-land. "Hey" Zoey said softly, watching as the trees were swept away from her vision.
"Are you okay? Mentally, I mean" Chase asked, turning sharply to the right to avoid the high-way.
"I guess…It was just-just-They didn't deserve to die!" Zoey yelled, tears once again streaming down her face.
If Chase could have hugged Zoey without crashing, he would of. He felt her pain, but at the same time he was relived they were okay. Was he being selfish?
"Your right Zoey, no one deserved to die. But we can't help it now" Chase stopped the Jet-X next to a huge bush-like tree.
Zoey looked at Chase oddly. "Uh…what's here?" She asked. Chase stood and pushed back the over-bushy parts of the tree.
"You'll see. Come here" He motioned. Zoey got off the Jet-X and followed. Chase pushed her gently into to tree's cluster of leaves. But instead of being smothered, Zoey landed softly in a little leafy room. There were no walls, just leaves shaped like a wall would be.
There was a large towel on the floor, and a…mini fridge? Zoey turned to Chase, who had followed her in.
"I used to come here to think" Chase explained, motioning at the fridge and towel.
"Those were just some comforts" He sat on the towel. Suddenly, one section of the tree moved a little.
Chase looked startled, then went over and pushed back the leaves. A little girl of about six stood at the "Entrance" She had long red hair, and bright blue eyes.
"Twase?" The girl questioned in a small baby voice. "Who's she?" Chase looked amazed, then hugged the girl. Once he was done, he turned to Zoey.
"Four days ago I found this girl wandering around PCA's food court. She was lost so I brought her here. I thought she was dead! Her name's Jamie by the way" Chase explained.
Zoey looked amazed too, and smiled at the little girl. Maybe life wouldn't be so bad after all.
Note: Yes I spelled Chase like "Twase" Because Jamie was only six.
