Lovelyanime: I hope everyone is enjoying my fanfiction. Okay, this chapter is when someone calls. But what's the problem? What does Zoe have to do?
Zoe: I think I know who it is. It's-
Lovelyanime: Don't tell them! Lets just hurry so they can find out for themselves.
Chapter 5- Phone call
Zoe awoke with tears in her eyes from her nightmare. Sometimes she would even scream and everyone can hear it because of that man. She knows that they can since she screamed so loud once that her neighbors came by to see what was wrong. She told them she was watching a scary movie and didn't care if they believed her or not.
'Good thing I only cried.' She thought, 'I don't want Takuya to hear me scream..'
She lifted herself up and looked down. There was some blood on her sheets from last night and the night before. She didn't cut herself once Takuya had left, but a year later. She thought she had good reasons for cutting herself. She got up from her bed and changed into a blue T-shirt, a black jacket and black jeans.
She went in the kitchen and started to make breakfast for Takuya and her. When she was almost done, she heard some footsteps coming into the kitchen.
'Takuya did always have a good sense of smell.' She thought with a small smile on her face.
"Good morning." He said as he sat down on a chair. He just stared at her.
"Morning Takuya." She could feel his eyes on her. "I made you some breakfast." she put the food on the plates.
"Thanks…Zoe, about last night…"
She knew it. It was going to come up sooner or later. She handed him his plate as she placed hers on the table. She sat and started to play with her food. She could still feel his eyes on her, watching her every move.
"I don't want to talk about it." she finally said.
"Zoe, tell me and maybe I can help."
"There's nothing you can do…it's to late." She looked up at him. "I know you're worried, but you don't need to. I can take care of myself and it won't happen again."
'I hope…' She thought as she looked back down at her food.
"Are you sure?" He saw her nod her head. "It's just that…"
She looked up at him. "Takuya, I promise that it's okay. And you know I wouldn't brake a promise that I make you.
He stared at her not sure if he should believe her or not. They always made little promises and they wouldn't brake them. Sure, he broke maybe one, two or even seven, but she never broke any since the day they met. That was years ago and people change, he noticed a lot has about her and wasn't sure if she still would keep her word.
"Fine, but I still want to know later." He finally said.
Then the phone rang and Zoe got up to answer it.
"Hello? Who's this?" She asked.
"Zoe, we have a little problem…" Zoe recognized the voice. It was Kari.
"We did not order these many books! Plus those aren't even the right ones!" Zoe recognized the other angry voice in the background. It was Sora yelling.
"Who is she yelling at this time?" Zoe asked as she sat back down.
"The guy who delivers the books. I think she's scaring off the customers again." Kari sighed.
"How about I shove one of these books up your-"
"Tell her to calm down." Zoe started to eat some of her food. "I hate it when people get on her bad side."
"Anyway, we need a little help to get everything straitened out."
"I see…" Zoe looked at Takuya who was confused about what was going on. "Tell Sora I'll be right there."
Zoe listened to Kari tell Sora. "No! Izumi finally takes some days off and she's not going to spend it here! We can handle it ourselves!"
"If so you didn't need to call me."
Kari told Sora what Zoe said again "I…But…Kari…She…Grrr…Fine! If that's what she wants."
"I'll be there in a sec. Bye." She hung up the phone.
"What was that all about?" Takuya asked.
"A little problem at the book store. I can handle it though, this happens a lot." Zoe grabbed her plate and put it in the sink. "You can come with me if you like."
"You work at a book store?" He asked as he got up to throw his plate in the sink.
"Actually…I own it." She replied.
End of chapter 5
Lovelyanime: I know it's a quick chapter and I'm trying to make it better. Anyway, I need a little help, I'm not sure what to call the bookstore. I was thinking about calling it Frontier Books or something. But it doesn't really sound good so maybe everyone can review and tell me what to call it. Whatever name I like the best, that's what I'm gonna call it.
Zoe: Why not call it…Nobody cares Bookstore
Lovelyanime: That was so funny, Zoe. Remind me to laugh later.
Zoe: (Sigh) Please review.
