Chapter 11

Tragedy

Zena lay in bed that night thinking about the argument she had with her mother earlier that day. All the horrible things she said to her mother that day rang in her ears. 'Bullshit! You're running away mom you're running away from here!', 'Daddy would say that I should never came here. He would have said that I should have given up on you the day you walked out on me!'; 'sometimes I wish daddy was still here instead of you. Then I might actually know what it feels like to have a parent that loves me'. She felt tears well up in her eyes when she heard the last comment in her head. Why did things always have to go wrong in her life. Why couldn't things ever work out her way. All her thoughts were erased when she heard someone knock on her door. She quickly wiped her tears and sat up on her bed.

"Come in" Zena said fixing herself on her bed. "Hey" she said as a smile appeared on her face.

"Hey" bradin said as he closed the door behind him.

"So what brings you here?" Zena asked with a smile. It seemed like every time he was around she was always smiling.

"Just came to see how your doing?" Bradin replied with a sweet smile.

"Why would I be doing bad?" Zena asked quizzically.

"I never said you were doing bad?" Bradin replied in defense

"No, but you implied it."

"How the hell did I imply it?"

"Well you obviously thought something was bad with me because if there wasn't you wouldn't have ever asked."

"What?" Bradin said confused as Zena giggled as his facial expression. "I would have asked you how you were doing whether you fine or not."

"Really?" Zena said once she was done giggling

"Really"

"Well thank you for caring" Zena said smiling

"No problem" Bradin replied

"But to answer you question, I am doing fine."

"So things went good between you and you're mom?"

"So that is why you asked how I was doing." Zena said giving the teasing evil eye.

"Guilty" he smirked

"I wish things went good between us." Zena said letting the smile disappear from her face.

Bradin turned his body so he was facing Zena. He looked into her eyes and could see how hurt she was. He took one of his hands at put them into her. She looked up when she felt his touch.

"I'm sorry things didn't work out between you and your mom." Bradin said looking into her eyes.

"Me too" she said softly. Everything felt so perfect with him. His touch just made her body feel comfort. It made her feel as if someone cared. It made her feel as if she had to be with him, so why was she so scared to let him in? Why was she so scared that he was like every other guy, when he wasn't. With out thinking Zena brought her head close to his and let her lips touch his. Bradin was caught by surprise but didn't hesitate to kiss her back. The kiss was perfect in Zena's mind. She felt his hand let go of her own as those same hands cupped her face. They both gently pulled away and looked at each other. Bradin broke the short silence between them.

"What was that for?" Bradin said smiling

"I don't know" Zena replied "it just felt like something I had to do."

"Well for the record I'm glad you did it" Bradin said smiling.

"Me too" Zena replied laughing.

"I think I better go before my Aunt starts freaking out" Bradin said

"It's only like 9:00" Zena said looking at the clock near her bed.

"Yeah but new kid. New town. I don't think my Aunt knows that I know where I'm going."

"Yeah we wouldn't Want Ava to worry" Zena said getting off her bed and walking Bradin to her door. "So are you working tomorrow?" Zena asked.

"Yeah, are you?"

"No Jay gave me the day off thank god!" Zena said with a face of relief.

"Well I was wondering, I get off work at around five so if you want to we could go out to dinner." Bradin said with hoping eyes.

"Bradin Westerly are you asking me on a date?" Zena replied hoping for a yes.

"Yes I am! I am asking you on a date and hoping, no begging, NO, praying that you will say yes!"

Zena began to laugh when she heard the last statement that he was 'praying' that she would go out with him. And said to herself how could she say no.

"Of course I will" Zena finally said

"YES!" Bradin said biting his lips. He looked at her as she smiled and gave her a quick kiss on her lips as he began to leave the room. "So I'll pick you up around six?" He asked as he turned around.

"Sure" Zena replied

"Alright then I'll see you tomorrow," Bradin said as he made his way close to the stairs.

"Bye" Zena said as she watched him leave.

"Bye" he said as he disappeared down the stairs.

Zena walked back into her room and shut the door. Having Bradin come over and ask how things went made her feel better about what had happened. She was actually looking forward to tomorrow night and the date she had with Bradin. She truthfully had to admit to herself that she was falling for him.

About a half hour later she heard another knock on her door. She walked up and opened the door to see her aunt standing there.

"Zena can you come downstairs please" Zena's Aunt said with a scared tone in her voice.

"What's wrong" Zena said looking at the expression on her Aunt Claire's face.

"Just come downstairs"

Zena followed her Aunt downstairs her heart beating faster after every step knowing something was wrong downstairs. And she was correct. She saw two policemen sitting in the living room with her cousin Tyler. She looked at him and he looked back with the same worried eyes his mother had. Zena's eyes moved to the two policemen who were now standing up off the couch. The one officer who looked much older than the other introduced both his partner and himself to Zena.

"Ms. Adams" the officer said looking at Zena. "I am Officer Jameson and this is my partner Officer Craig. Would you like to sit down."

"I'd rather stand thanks- look I'm not trying to be rude but what the hell is going on?" Zena said trying to get an answer out of the two officers.

"Ms. Adams I have some bad news," the younger officer began to say "Do you know a women named Jenny Adams?"

"Yeah she's my mom is everything okay?" Zena said as a huge rush of panic came over her.

"I'm sorry Ms. Adams but your mother was in a car accident."

"W-What?" Zena said stumbling the words out of her mouth. "But she's okay right I mean she's in a hospital."

"I'm sorry Ms. Adams but your mother died on impact."

Zena fell to the ground in disbelief. She felt like she was having an anxiety attack. She was breathing hard as tears fell from her eyes. Zena's Aunt walked over and tried to help Zena off the floor as she also tried to control her own tears. Tyler sat at the same seat he was and thought about the loss his little cousin just faced. Her whole family was gone. Her mother, her father, and her sister. Everyone she knew was dead.

"I'm very sorry for your loss. One of the officer's began to say, but we need some one to identify the body."
