Someday
Chapter Four
Glances, whispers, glares and words I do not wish to repeat right now was what I encountered on my way to Zombietown. As I walked through the gates, I saw few people I recognized from school and others just stared. I'd only been here one other time and no one was outside then but Zoey. Probably strange to see a human on zombie grounds.
Maybe she could help me. I headed towards the end of the street and she was outside playing with other kids. She saw me coming and came running over. My bag fell from my shoulder as I caught her mid jump into a hug. "Hi Addy. I missed you." My heart swelled. "I missed you to Zoey. How are you?" We let go and she grinned. "I am so happy you are here now." She grabbed my hand and I grabbed my bag off the ground and she led me over to her house "This is my pet Zander. He's not impressed most of the time. " I laughed. She was too darn cute for her own good.
She grabbed my hand again and brought me into her house. "Hey daddy I want you to meet someone." We walked down a hallway passing the stairs and into a dining room and finally into the kitchen area.. "Daddy this is my friend Addison. Addison this is my daddy." I held my hand out. "It's nice to finally meet you Sir. You have raised two very nice children." He laughed and grabbed my hand, shaking it. "Are we sure you're talking about my children." Laughing again to himself, he smiled at me. "It is nice to meet you Addison. I'm Zevon. Zoey and Zed talk about you a lot." I blushed. "Really? Well I'm glad to have them as friends." Winking at Zoey she giggled and hugged my leg.
Zevon smiled at his daughter. "DAD!" He walked over to the stairs and yelled up to his son. "Zed don't shout. We have a guest in the house." "Who?" Zed yelled again from upstairs. Zevon sighed and said, "Come downstairs and find out." You could hear stomping and banging coming from upstairs as Zevon walked back into the kitchen. "Typical boy." he muttered. I laughed and Zed appeared in the kitchen. His mouth dropped open and I smiled. "Hey Zed." Speechless. His dad bumped him with his elbow. "Its rude to gawk at our guest." Zed's face turned bright red and I laughed. "She's my friend Zed. I saw her first." Zoey stuck her tongue out at her older brother who just copied her and did it back. So normal and yet people judge because they are forced to hide who they are.
"I actually came here for help in finding someone." This intrigued them. "Who are you looking for?" Zed asked leaning against the wall with his arms crossed. Scratching the back of my neck, I looked at him. "Not sure what her name is. I just met at her school. She was being bullied by 3 girls and I stopped it." I paused. "She's maybe an inch shorter than me, her hair was framing her face but she has dark green eyes." He was rubbing his chin with his pointer finger and thumb. "Not much to go on. I'm sorry. Was she okay though?" "Not sure. Havent seen her since I told her to leave and I dealt with the girls."
"Hey. That sounds like Buzz's older sister, Zandra." Zoey chimed in. Zed's eyes lit up. "You are so right Zoey. So smart. C'mon Addison let's go." He ruffled her hair as we walked by and I waved before he grabbed my hand as we walked out the front door. 'OH MY GOSH! He's holding my hand again.' I gripped his hand tighter and he looked at me smiling. We were on his front porch and he stopped walking. He looked me in my eyes and brought my hand to his mouth and he kissed it. I died. I literally died. My face turned red, my heart felt like it stopped beating and I just died. He chuckled and touched my face. "Let's go make sure she's ok."
He didnt drop my hand but we did continue walking. My body was on fire and I still felt his lips on my hand. I wanted more. My thoughts were going crazy and before I knew it we stood in front of a purple door. He knocked on it and we waited. Nothing. "Maybe she didnt come home." After knocking again and waiting a bit. "Maybe I'm scaring them away from opening the door. We should just go. I'll check on her tomorrow in school."
Turning my back and walking away our hands unlocked and he hesitated before following me. His arm went around my shoulder and I leaned into him. "You are a good arm rest." "Oh now you have short girl jokes." We both laughed and stopped outside his door. "I should get going home." His fingers moved a piece of hair behind my ear. "You are so perfect." Shaking my head I looked up at him. "I'm really not..." I hesitated before taking a deep breath and I looked away from him. "This is a wig. My hair is not normal and its freaky." "Can I see it?" He asked with hope in his eyes. "No not now, maybe soon though. My parents think its weird."
"You're beautiful." Our eyes met and he leaned his face closer to mine. Closing my eyes I waited for it but instead the front door opened and we both jumped apart. "Dad said its time for you to go home Addy. It's almost our curfew and it's getting dark and he wants you home safe." She handed me my backpack and stood there. "It's dinnertime Zed." "Thank you Zoey. Tell your dad it was nice to meet him and I'll visit soon I promise." She hugged my leg and grabbed Zed's hand. "I'm hungry. Let's go." She dragged him inside and we both waved before the door closed.
Hauling my backpack over my shoulder, I ran down the steps and headed home before the guards saw me.
Opening my front door and closing it behind me quietly. I took my shoes off quietly and headed towards the stairs. "You wait just a minute Addison Donnelly." (A/N couldn't find any last names so shes taking Meg's haha) Stopping in my tracks I saw my mother at the sink in the kitchen. She pulled her hands out of the sink wearing her blue rubber gloves holding a spatula. "Where have you been? You missed dinner and I know you weren't at school. Bucky said practice ended forever ago." She walked around the island sink and crossed her arms, still holding onto the spatula. "Well?..." "I was out with a boy and his little sister." It was the truth so I wasn't exactly lying. "It better not be the one Bucky told me about." I frowned and looked down. 'Great, here we go.'
"Addison. Your father and I warned you about zombies and now you're associating with one?!" She started pacing the floor and swinging the spatula around. "Oh my where did we go wrong? Oh wait till your father hears about this." 'This isn't looking good whatsoever. I truthfully don't know how to respond to her.' "Mom, I like him. Hes a sweet guy." Apparently my mind and mouth aren't connected tonight.
The spatula fell to the ground making a clanking sound and her mouth dropped. "He is not a guy. He is a dead zombie, a dead MONSTER." "He's not a monster mom. You would like him if you got over your hatred for them for biting grandpas ear off. That was someone else, not Zed or his family." "Go to your room till your father gets back." She pointed to the stairs and I sighed before heading up to my room. Throwing my backpack on my bed I pulled out my homework and put it on my desk. 'Might as well do something.'
An hour later. "Addison! Get down here." My father shouted. I was dreading what my punishment was going to be so I took my time getting into the kitchen where I could hear them talking loudly. "Yes dad?" He faced me and said, "Your mother and I have been talking and you're not going to school tomorrow." I went to object and he held up a finger. "You are coming with me to work. You need to see how these monsters really are."
My mouth dropped open. "What? No. A girl was bullied today and..." My mother interrupted me. "I know about that. You pushed a girl Addison, what is wrong with you? Those zombies are corrupting you. You're giving them and inch and before you know it they will bite your face off. That thing you said was bullied was a zombie and probably deserved it." My face flushed with anger and I pointed at her. "YOU have no right to say things like that. I don't care if you are my parents or not. Everyone is equal in my eyes and tomorrow I know I will see all the inhumane things you do to zombies." I took a deep breath. "I listen when no one thinks I am, so all that talking you do late at night I know what you're saying. Also you will never be Mayor with THAT type of attitude."
Walking away I ignored my father calling for me as my mother cried. Yea that was the first time I ever yelled at either one of them. I was really hoping we would all be closer this year but I just see that all this hatred has now come into my home and come between us all. A brilliant idea came to my mind but I would have to think on it more before I could act it out. Now I had to prepare for tomorrow.
A/N Dang. 3 chapters in one day I wrote. Please any ideas shoot them my way. I can only keep going so far till I hit a writers block.
