No. It couldn't be. I wouldn't let myself know it was true. I knew Stark would never do something like this, especially to me.
I turn my head back around they were both staring at me,
"how do you know this?" I asked.
"Hello? Physic" she pointed to herself.
I yanked my phone out of my pocket and dialled, after several long rings he finally picked up,
"Hello" he sounded half asleep.
"Whe- Where are you?"
"At home! Trying to sleep" of course, Heath was only grouchy when we was woken up.
Instead of a reply back I closed the phone on him, he was safe but not happy, I would sort that out later, I look back at them again only to see them both have disappeared. They- I mean Stevie Rae didn't even say goodbye.
I was frustrated and tired of chasing and ignoring people, continuously they seemed to come in and out of my room, I just wanted to escape, clear my head a little.
Luckily I was wearing jeans and a hoodie, I grabbed my bag and headed for the door, avoiding the people that went past me, I put my hair up into a bun and lifted my hood with my hands in my pocket, the exit was near, thankfully.
I yanked the door open a sudden gush of ice cold air hit me making the hairs on the back of my neck stand up luckily I knew what to do, I called the elements.
The comfortable warm breeze felt nice against my skin, it made me feel calmer now, I didn't know where I was going, and I was not staying here.
The roads where empty with a few drunken people falling on the sidewalk who luckily ignored me, I didn't know what time it was I was just hoping a take away would be open. I slowed my pace as I was not in any hurry. I hesitated as I looked behind me, suspicious as someone was following me, but I couldn't see anyone, or anything.
"Here's your change" said the guy behind the counter. As he handed me my change, which was a lot of change, he held them out while I picked them up, each time I felt his warm skin my mouth started to water, I didn't understand, I wasn't a fully grown vampyer yet, yet I could feel his heartbeat, the blood through his veins, the warm warm blood I tried so hard not to look directly at him I pressed my lips tightly together and grabbed my tray and sat at the table close to nobody.
It had been months since I've had a nice heavy lunch from outside the school, they didn't have brown pop but it was still all good.
"Excuse me?"
They couldn't be talking to me. I carried on looking at the empty tray waiting for the right moment to go... okay now. I got up bumping into someone who actually was talking to me.
"Hello? Anyone in there?" that voice. Familiar yet...
Okay so she was talking to me, I legged it out the door anyway.
I need to get back home, its not safe anymore, not safe.
"Hey wait!" she called from behind.
It was dark enough for the person not to notice anything...
I turned around to see her running up to me, ah geez it's her!
"I knew it!" she said slowly down as she got closer "Zoey Montgomery" giving me her full assessment, I kept my hoodie up and tight, only the white from my eyes were noticeable at this time of night.
"What do you want" I tried to sound calm but my hands were balled into fists my anger was getting uncontrollable, I couldn't be responsible for my actions.
"Oh Zo, don't be like that with your 'BFFFE'" she said.
"You're what?"
"Your best friend for friggin' ever!" she sounded drunk, she didn't know what she was saying afterall I thought she hated my guts, I hated hers and she was certainly not my problem.
"What are you doing here?"
"T'was eating, and then followed you here-" she pointed at the spot we were at "I could notice those retro trainers anywhere afterall we bought them together at that cute-" at that moment her facial expression changed, she put her hand in front of her mouth blocking out anything that wanted to come out, but it didn't help she bent down slightly puking out as much as she had drunk, it reeked.
Great. Someone had to help her. And no-one else was around.
"Where are your friends?" I asked hoping they could help her.
Continuously she started to cough and spit, I didn't have anything to give her, she was a mess and looked like one too, high heels and a short dress with heavy make-up which was rubbing off as she started crying. I sighed as I realised she had come alone, so I helped her to a public bench looking in my bag for anything, I handed her a Kleenex which she wiped off her vomit covered mouth and 2 day old water bottle... she didn't know that so I gave it to her anyway, I just wanted to help.
"We need to call your mom" I said to her when she calmed down a bit.
"No! You can't! She will kill me!" she shouted pleading me not to.
Now what?
"At least get home, its late" I said looking around for anyone.
"What's your excuse?"
I didn't answer that.
"Look, where's your car or something?" I asked wanting to get rid of her.
She sighed "far, somewhere"
That helped. "Where abouts?"
She slumped back on the bench putting her head back "By Abby mount" she began to yawn she was in no state to start walking on her own.
So, I was stuck outside really late with my ex-best friend who's half way across the city away from her house and 5 miles away from her car, she is sick and is stuck with a fledging who really doesn't like her at the moment.
I did the only thing I could; I grabbed my cell phone which I luckily brought with me from my bag and scrolled through the numbers, who owned a car and can be trusted? That when I landed on D, for Darius the guy who has been helping me all through the last few months months, I'm sure Aphrodite wouldn't mind, well she had better not anyway.
He picked up almost instantly,
"Hello?" A female answered.
"Aphrodite, is Darius there?" I asked.
"Sorry! We're a little busy" she hung up. Ew I didn't want to know.
Now what?
Under Darius's name was another alternative I could ask... ugh what have I got to lose?
"Hello?"
"Hey uhm... where are you?"
"Hey Z, I'm at school where are you, you said you'd be back soon and its been hours"
Great he's been counting.
"Listen, that's not important I need you to help me..."
I began explaining the whole dilemma about her and told him not to ask any more questions, just to get his butt over here and fast, I glanced at the time on the mobile, dang! Nearly four in the morning in the human world, that was considered late.
Next to me Kayla was breathing slowly, I suspect she was sleeping, hopefully not unconscious; I have no idea how she is going to get inside the house let alone explain this to her parents.
From a distance I could hear somebody's car coming down the road, slowly I nudged Kayla telling her to wake up. The car pulled up the side as he opened the door Erik got out and helped Kayla into the backseat she began vomiting and crying again, I guess I would have to join her at the back while giving Erik directions to her house.
We arrived at the front of her house after a few long minutes the indoor and outdoor lights were on. Crap. I would need to explain it all, Kayla was asleep again, Erik and I helped Kayla outside the car, she was flopping everywhere and the house door opened instantly.
"Kayla!" Mrs. Robinson shouted as she ran to her.
Kayla was still half asleep, but the annoying sounds her mother was making was disturbing her uncomfortable sleep, she took hold of Kayla gently and put her against her shoulders, putting one hand on her waist helping her inside the house.
"Leave me alone mom, I'm trying so sleep" she said against her chest.
"Um, thanks for helping" she said to Erik and me and then headed for the door spoiling her. Okay so she knews we were... different, well she reacted better than I thought.
I remembered the old days, she was like a second mother to me I would be aloud round any day of the week whether Kayla was grounded or not, Mrs. Robinson would help out with my own family problems too saying I could stay around any time I wanted, now she barley wanted to look at me.
"Come on lets head home" Erik said leading me into the car "You did great today"
I didn't say anything, this was not the way I wanted to spend my night outside the school, normally I'd eat a take out instead I get stuck with my ex-bestfriend forced to help her out!
-----
"Damn, if I were you I would of left her out on the streets, she's not my problem anymore" Shaunee said.
It was me and the twins in my room, I was telling them everything that had happened to me that night, for once the twins had different agreements, so out of character.
"What and let her get raped or something?" Erin said.
"Okay well I'd put her in a dustbin and then walk off"
Erin and I laughed.
"You did a good thing Z" Erin said.
"I'd have to agree with twin, you hated her guts but you helped her anyway, that was a noble thing to do"
I smiled, they always knew what to say.
"Hey, Erin and I were thinking why don't we sleep round here tonight, you know a sleepover, we don't like you sleeping on your own"
"but!" Erin said before I could say anything "you cannot argue and that's final"
I didn't say anything after that, instead I gave them the thumbs up and they both went rushing to get their stuff. I was left in my room for a minutes alone, with that I had I checked the time, too late to call the humans, my luck.
Knowing that one of the twins were not going to sleep on the floor alone, and that they were both going to sleep on the floor, I felt bad about that idea so I got my blankets and pillows, making sure there was plently of room for the twins and joined them on the floor putting my cellphone under my pillow, within a matter of seconds of leaning on the pillow, I dozed off.
My dream was dreamless, I saw nothing but black, maybe from the outside but it was meant to be morning by now - those curtains must be really strong to cover the light, when I finally opened my eyes, the twins had disappeared along with their sleeping bags and there was no light coming from the curtains I yanked my pillow and grabbed my phone only to check it was late, yikes! I slept through a whole day! My head felt numb from standing up, I felt sick, the floor made it plenty times worse I leaned against the bed glaring at the messages on my phone, I didn't feel in the mood to check them at all especially since they were from Kayla, what did she want? Calling her would make this headache even worse.
I let my hand rest on my head rubbing it slightly while I leaned on my bed for a few minutes checking her text messages.
Zoey, need to talk to you, Kayla.
Call me!
When do you people pick up your cell phones!?
You people? All in all, they were all the same type of messages, she wasted her text messages on me, which she would of never done before she hated wasting anything valuable and yeah, I knew her too well. Just felt necessary to just ignore people like her.
The headache seized up a little bit, I still felt irritated I started rubbing my temples closing my eyes, I didn't want to sleep again just yet, something tapping was annoying my... meditation moment. The tapping got louder suddenly calling my name, I never liked it when that happen, just like it the movies, they reach over to the window only to see something come out of it and eat you! Okay, over exaggerating but I slowly walked to the window grabbed a tight grasp of the curtains and ever so slowly opened them, brunette hair, blue eyes and a red tattoo along their forehead, oh thank goodness!
"What are you doing here" I said through the window opening it. Stevie Rae was above the ground, oh yeah I had forgotten her new skills after what she had become, it was still freaky to see her standing on the walls with not a hint of difficulty, I budged the window open letting her in, she looked scared and worried.
"What? Whats wrong?" I asked as soon as she was fully inside.
"Aphrodite wasn't lieing, I-I couldn't stop him! I'm sorry I really am I didn't mean it" she kept on ranting on.
"Slow down!" I shouted above her voice "Now, whats up?"
"I-its Stark no no! I mean its Heath hes in for it" she said suddenly.
I knew- I mean I thought Aphrodite was lieng, just yesterday Heath was sleeping soundly and how did Stevie Rae know this, well at this moment that wasn't important, I needed to find them and fast.
