Collision
By; lighthope1
Roe stood on the cross roads between life with Zee and life on her own. Her mind wandered as she stood next to him just outside the school, tears rushed down her face as confusion clouded her. "I can't. I can't make promises' Zee." She whispered. Zee looked down at her, "What's wrong?" She pulled away from his grip and said, "It's just me. I need to rethink my choices over. Just leave me be please." She walked away, back towards the school. Her hands rubbing her shoulders and almost dark clouds covered her mood. Zee wondered what was happening to the girl he loved. How could this all happen to her?
Ro finished her day off simply out of the spot light; she avoided her friends and just walked like a zombie through classes. "Ro? Ro?" Maria shouted in her ear. Ro looked at her friend and made a weak smile, "Jamie likes another girl." Ro broke into tears. "Calm down Ro. Just realize that is how Jamie is. He takes his girls like ice cream when he is done your last weeks news. I have had it happened to me I know how your feeling." Ro looked at her friend between tears and hugged her strangely between the two desks. "I was so blind. You warned me and I didn't listen to you or Zee." Maria nodded, "That's why I love Zee he's not like the guys at this school. He's more real, more in tune to girls' feelings and just plain reality." Ro nodded, I cannot tell her what he said to me today I cannot lose another friendship. "How about you join us for a movie tonight?" Ro asked weakly. "I would love that Ro. You're the best." Maria said between girlish smiles.
Later after school…
Ro walked out of the school, she had just left Maria at her locker and had to go home to prepare the apartment for the movie night. She walked into the apartment and was shocked to find Zee on the couch, his face in his hands and his body shaking. "Zee, Zee what's wrong?" Ro asked running to Zee's side. She forgot about her feelings and party, she worried about Zee. She placed her hands on his and whispered, "Zee it's me. Look at me." Zee slowly moved his hands and looked almost through her. "Ro?" was all he said. "I'm here, what's wrong?" He now focused on her and said, "I was worried that something was wrong that you were hurt and I couldn't save you." She smiled weakly, "Zee do not worry. I am fine. Maria is coming tonight for a movie. You should go wash up. I promise I'm fine." He nodded lightly and went to his room. Ro sat on the couch and sighed softly. She got up and worked on the movie from paper view and the cake mix she had bought.
A light knock on the door, made Ro wake up from her dream world and answer it. "Maria!" She said. Zee was behind Ro and Maria grinned up at him. He looked sad and quiet. The movie night began with jokes and light laughter. Dinner arrived and then the movie began. Ro positioned herself on the comfort chair with a blanket and popcorn. Maria and Zee sat on the couch, Maria was full of delight, and Ro watched her share the popcorn with him.
Ro was not jealous; she just was able to convince herself that Zee might actually like Maria. He was being so sweet to her. Ro was just hiding her true feelings that had not yet surfaced and Zee felt pain for his love that sat by herself just waiting for reality to crash down on her.
The movie ended, and Maria helped clean up. "Well I better head home." Maria said. "I'll walk you Maria!" volunteered Ro. Her friend smiled and Zee said, "I don't think that's a safe idea with the streets so dark. I'll come." Ro laughed lightly. "Zee we are big enough to walk by ourselves. I'll bring my cell and ill be home no later then 11pm I promise." Ro and Maria were out the door before Zee would object. Zees just stood with his arms crossed and worry in his eye. He pulled on his jacket and fallowed the girls farther behind.
The darkness surrounded the two girls while there low whispers fallowed behind them they did not notice the figure fallowing close behind that was not Zee. "Hello Ladies, what are you doing out here so late?" The figure whispered while throwing Maria to the ground and grabbing Ro's arm.
