Zoe was walking in the park. "Why do you keep following me?" she demanded of the boy behind her. He looked to be about her age and had blonde hair.
"Hey babe," he said. Zoe rolled her eyes and walked away.
"Wanna hang out?" he asked her.
"No," said Zoe rolling her eyes. The boy stepped up and grabbed her wrist. He leaned in.
Zoe took two steps back and twisted her arm away from him and walked away in disgust. She could feel that he was following her again. She turned around and yelled, "Stop following me!" But it wasn't the same boy. He looked exactly like the other boy but he had brown hair.
"I'm sorry if my brother has been bothering you," he said smiling kindly. "He can be annoying at times.
"That's your brother?" asked Zoe forgetting that she was going to ignore any boys who tried to talk to her.
"Yeah he's my twin."
"Oh," said Zoe. "I gotta go. Bye."
"What's your name?" the boy asked her.
"Zoe," she said.
"I'm Luke," he told her.
Zoe turned around and ran. She was going to be late to see her mother in the hospital and it was all because of these stupid boys. She hadn't really talked to any boys since Simon. At school she ignored everyone and did her work quietly.
She ran into the house to find that no one was there. There was a note on the fridge from her father.
Zoe,
I'm sorry but I'm going to be at the hospital all night.
Please don't come up there. I'll call you if anything
Happens. You can make yourself dinner or have a friend
Over
Zoe glared at the note. She thought that her father had made an agreement that he would bring Zoe to the hospital every other day after school but he had blown her off. I hope there's nothing wrong with mom she thought.
She turned the t.v. on and started making spaghetti. She heard the doorbell ringing. She went to see who was at the door. She opened the door and found herself looking Luke the boy from the park.
"Hi," he said.
"How do you know where I live?" she asked her curiously.
"I looked it up in the phone book," he said sheepishly.
"Why?" she asked.
"Cause I'm bored and I don't really have anything to do," he said.
"Well, I guess you could come in," she said remembering the last time she had invited and unknown boy into the house. "Would you like something to drink?" she asked?
"Coke is good," he said sitting down on the couch by the t.v. She went in the kitchen and came out with 2 cokes.
"Tell me about yourself," he told her.
"Uh I have a dad who lives here and- my mom she's in the hospital with cancer," Zoe said chocking back tears. "My best-friend just moved to Oregon," she said.
"I'm sorry about your mom," he said. "I know how you feel. My mother died 3 years ago of pneumonia. I hated it it. She stayed in the hospital for more than a year and they didn't help her. She never came back," he said glaring at the floor.
"I'm so sorry," said Zoe gasping. "That's so sad. I'm afraid that my mother won't ever come back either," she admitted sadly. "She's so sick and nothing they do helps her. She's always in so much pain. Sometimes it scares me to see her," she said talking more to herself than the strange boy who was sitting beside her.
The phone rang. "Hang on a sec," said Zoe. She ran and got the phone.
"Zoe, you mother has gotten worse and we fear that she won't make it, please come up here right away if you can," said the kind voice of a nurse.
Zoe dropped the phone and rushed into the other room. She was as pale as a white sheet of paper. "What's wrong?" asked Luke sounding concerned.
"My mom. She's gotten worse," said Zoe starting to sob.
"Come on Zoe. I'll drive you up there," he said. "It'll be okay." He put his arm around her shoulders and led her to his van. They quickly got in.
Zoe's teeth started to chatter and her lips were turning blue. "It's okay," said Luke handing her a blanket from the backseat. The heat was already roaring full blast but Zoe didn't seem to notice it.
When they got there Luke helped her inside and told the reception lady what was wrong. She got a nurse to help Zoe get to her mother. Luke said that he's wait outside and if anyone needed him he'd be there.
Zeo walked with the kind nurse to the elevator. She was still shaking but it wasn't so bad. When they got to her mother's room Zoe slowly opened her door afraid of what she would see. She saw her mother with her eyes clothed and tubes connected to her mouth and nose. Her father was sitting in a chair beside her mother's bed.
She went and sat next to them. Neither of them said a word but they didn't have to. They were okay with the silence. Suddenly a nurse came in. "It's gotten worse," she told them. "Her heart rate has gone down."
