Chapter 5
Aphrodite's pov
I hadn't noticed I was crying until Zoey looked up at me with a confused expression. I felt so embarrassed and could feel my cheeks burning, so I quickly turned away from her so she wouldn't notice.
"Aphrodite, are you okay?" All I wanted to do at that moment was throw my arms around her and tell her that I was now that she was back. However, I decided against it, not wanting to freak her out. I took a deep; I had to tell her how I felt before I changed my mind.
Remembering that I hadn't answered her question I said, "Yeah, I'm okay." Then I finally looked back at her. "Are you feeling okay? I have to talk to you about something."
She just stared into my eyes and I was about to look away, when she replied. "I'm fine." She sat up in her bed and smiled slightly at me. "What do you want to talk about?"
"I-" I was so nervous, it felt like I couldn't breath. She seemed to notice my reluctance to tell her so she placed her hand on top of mine, which sent shiver throughout my body, and said, "What happened in your vision, Aphrodite?" I tried to pull my hand away, but she held on to it and looked into my eyes. "Tell me what happened."
Finally I said, "I didn't have a vision" Then I swallowed through the lump in my throat and opened my mouth again to tell her what I had come here to say. You can do it Aphrodite! I have to say it. NOW!
I herd a soft sound behind me, but I was concentrating too hard on what I was about to do, that I didn't really notice it. This time I didn't pull my hand away from hers, instead I wrapped my fingers around her hand and blurted, "Zoey, I- I love you." I hadn't been able to look at her when I said it, but I felt her hand stiffen and was about to look up at her face to see what her expression was like, when I heard a sound behind me again.
This time the sound registered in my mind. Someone had been standing behind me, and heard what I just said. My face burning, I jumped up and turned around to face whoever was standing near the door. I covered my mouth as I gasped in shock. Staring at me with an expression I couldn't quite read was Darius. "No-" I'm so sorry Darius. I never wanted you to find out like this. I opened my mouth, not knowing what to say, but before I could speak he just turned around looking completely destroyed and left the room.
I took a step towards the door but then remembered that I'd just told Zoey that I loved her and hadn't even looked at her yet. I was so afraid of what I might see in her face, but I spun around and finally looked at her.
I wrote this chapter pretty fast...so I don't know if it's that good. But tell me what you think of it. Plz review and i'll try to update again soon.
