Okaaaaay, new chapter :) sorry for the little wait, I had a bunch of stuff going on. I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has reviewed :D my email was stuffing up, so some of them I didn't see, then I went onto Fanfiction and scrolled through them. Some of the stuff you guys are saying is just SO FREAKING NICE! Even as I'm writing this, I still have a crazy insane smile on my face. THANK-YOU SO MUCH!
"No way," she says incredulously, looking at the baggy top. "No freaking way. That's not possible."
"It is!" I yell, positively jumping up and down with excitement. Just to prove my point, I stand next to her and trace a line in the air from my head to her head. Even though my spiked up hair gives me an advantage, it's pretty clear I'm taller than her.
"YES!" I scream, just as the door opens and my mum pokes her head in.
"Dinner is ready," she says stiffly, looking down her nose at Zero. "I've made an Ajiaco soup for entree. Braised beef with mushroom sauce with stuffed zucchini flowers for main, and at Vin's request, ice cream for desert."
"Right," said Zero slowly. "Well, I have no idea what any of those things are, except ice cream, but it sounds delicious."
My mum raises her eyebrows. "I would expect all cultured young ladies to have eaten those dishes before.
"Yeah, so would I," says Zero agreeably. "The thing is, I'm not a cultured young lady."
My mums mouth drops open slightly. "Uhuh," she mumbles. "Alright. Well, come through to dinner."
Zero's P.O.V
I think I scared Vin's mum off for awhile, but she'll be back. I can tell. Dinner went on for ages, Vin's mum kept asking me questions about my Dad. It's doing my head in. After dinner we sat down and watched a movie. Some crappy cartoon that Vin's parents thought was suitable. When the guy and girl got separated, Vin started sobbing. Full on, broken hearted sobbing. Honestly, sometimes I worry about him. Now I'm lying on a mattress on the floor, which to be honest is a little to familiar for comfort. Next door, I can hear my dad having what sounds like a tantrum.
"YOU'RE DEAD ZADIA, DEAD! WHEN I FIND YOU... I SWEAR YOU'LL WISH YOU WERE NEVER BORN." There's a huge crash and he goes silent. I roll my eyes, assuming he's passed out drunk.
"Hey, Z?" Vin whispers suddenly.
"What?" I ask Vin shortly, not in the mood for his emotional crap.
"Was it... Was it your dad who bleached your hair?"
I tense up. Be careful Zero, be very, very careful.
"Maybe," I say lamely, then mentally kick myself. What the hell was that!?
"Maybe meaning yes?"
"Why do you care?"
"Because I care about you," he says simply.
I cant think of a reply to that. "Um..."
"So tell me!" He protests, rolling over and propping himself up on his elbows, his expectant eyes gleaming in the dark.
"Well yeah, it was," I mumble. Vin reaches out and strokes my shoulder. Tingles shoot up my arm and for once, I don't push his hand off.
"How come?" He asks softly.
Holy crap, I think desperately. Do I tell him or not?
He's your friend, the good side of me says. You can trust him.
No, you can't trust anyone, screams my bad side. You trust you get hurt... Remember when-
"Shut up," I yell out loud, grabbing my head. "Shut up, shut up, shut up!"
"Z I'm not... I'm not saying anything," says Vin, confused. I take a deep breath, running my hands through my still damp hair. Calm down. Just calm down.
"Sorry," I say shortly, pushing his arm roughly away from my shoulder. "I'm just tired. I'm going to sleep."
"Okay," says Vin sadly. "Goodnight."
Vin's P.O.V
DAMN IT VIN, YOU RUINED EVERYTHING, I scream in my head, staring at the dark shadow that's Zero's sleeping figure. I was almost there... I almost got here to open up to me... Then I pushed to far and totally wrecked it! I give a low groan, grabbing a pillow and push it into my face.
"Idiot!" I scream into the pillow, the sound muffled by the feathery stuffing. Now feeling tired as well as miserable, angry at myself and frustrated, I let myself fall into an uneasy sleep.
(A/N- ridiculously short P.O.V I know, but I wanted to show what Vin was feeling.)
Yeah... Kind of short, but I wanted to update anyway :) promise the next chapter will be longer. And, for the person who asked, I use the name Zadia because it starts with Z... It'd be awesome to say there was some hidden meaning behind it, but nope, that's pretty much it :)
Thanks again! Plz review, thanks for reading
