This is a Zoe chapter and there isn't much dialogue, just a lot of thinking. I think this chapter goes with the song 'She is the sunlight' by Trading yesterday, because of the line 'She lives in a daydream', seriously check that song out because it is adorable and I love trading yesterday. The next chapter will be full of Frella. Enjoy!

Zoe stared out of the window, watching the rain drop heavily. At first travelling on a mission to locate her other siblings seemed almost heroic. She thought that although she was leaving everything behind, there was something to look forward to. She didn't expect most of her sisters to be traumatized and scared and broken and she didn't expect them to be completely in denial. What she wanted was to reunite with one of her sisters, to just feel something.

She stayed in the fanciest hotels, wearing the most beautiful outfits, and she had more money then she wanted and needed. She stared at the ceiling every night thinking about Dan, Tom, Aneisha and Frank. Especially Dan, she knew her leaving would affect everyone in different ways, Frank would understand, Aneisha would be upset but caring, Tom would be confused and Dan, well Dan would be hurt. She didn't want to have to say goodbye, she'd had too many of those in her lifetime and she hated them.

She was absentmindedly playing with the heart shaped necklace Dan gave her for her birthday. When she realised she was doing this she forced down her hand by her side and let out a heavy sigh, she then leaned her head against the window as tears of frustration came to her eyes. Just as she was about to let out the tears that she had bottled up inside, there was a knock at the door. She roughly wiped her cheeks and reminded herself that she doesn't get to be upset, because this was her decision.

Zoe opened the door to find her cleaning ladies, Maia who was quite young and very pretty, she had long wavy blonde hair and big blue eyes, she was shy and quiet and Zoe could confide in her. But then there was Gabby, who hated Zoe with a passion, she hated that Zoe was pretty and gentle and had the choice to be free and travel the world when she was stuck as a cleaning girl, she also disliked Maia. Gabby had thin brown hair and tanned skin. She could pass for someone attractive if she had a better attitude.

"Hey guys, there's not much to do today so you could go early if you like" said Zoe, mainly speaking to Maia, as she always tried to avoid the coldness in Gabby's eyes.

"We'll make you some lunch and then start cleaning the living room" said Maia kindly.

"Yeah and then we'll rub your feet and cool you down with peacock feathers and then-" Gabby was cut off with a jab in the ribs from Maia.

"Anyway, let's get started on lunch" said Maia, through gritted teeth.

Gabby rolled her eyes and grumpily walked in after Maia. Zoe sat down gently on the couch and focused on a spot on the wall, to distract herself from the glares Gabby was shooting her way.

Zoe tightened her jaw as she looked around the room. It was extremely luxury and filled with white cushions and white walls, even the flowers were white. But Zoe could see the colour in the corner of her eye. To avoid the pain she dismissed it and focused on her neatly folded hands in her lap. Although she tried, she couldn't help herself, she looked to the framed picture sitting on the table and instantly regretted it, it was a picture of her cuddling into Dan's front and Aneisha cuddled into her back as Dan hugged both of them and Tom was in the background with a humorous face. She missed her best friends, Dan's over-protectiveness, Aneisha's ability of being so tender and Tom's harmless sarcasm. She missed her boys and her best friend, and she missed Frank, the closest thing to a father she'll ever have.

Zoe definitely wanted to see them again, but she knew that is she saw them, she would never want to leave, because that would be just another goodbye and she couldn't handle that.

And anyway it's not like they would be too thrilled to see her again, after what she's caused. If she saw Dan, there would probably so much hate towards her, that the beautiful butterflies she would get when she was around him would just be scared away and she couldn't stand that.

If Frank was her real father, he would just disown her and find someone else to be the daughter he never had. Then Zoe realised that there must have been someone to replace her. Maybe she would be Aneisha's new best friend, maybe she would have funny conversations with Tom and maybe she would fall in love with Dan. Maybe she wouldn't let them down like Zoe did.

Maybe it was childish to think so, but Zoe didn't want that to happen, she didn't want to be just some girl, she didn't want to be forgotten. Maybe it's for the best though.

Zoe was arguing with herself and she felt her head ache. She knew what to do, after lunch, she would walk along the wet beach to clear her head. Zoe knew that wouldn't be long away because she smelt the chicken and she realised that was very hungry. Zoe knew she still needed some time to think, so she concentrated more on the picture by her side.

Right now she was oblivious to Maia humming to herself and Gabby's cold stares, she was in her own world.
