Hell Above (Sequel To Heaven Below)

Chapter 31~Unexpected Dinner.

Been too long since I have updated. I am so sorry!!! I'm not sure if this chapter is too confusing or not, but I promise I'll add more soon. <3

ZOE
I stood in front of the mirror, my blouse was plain black with red around the side, it matched with a black maxi skirt. Adam brought the skirt but I have never worn it until now. I smiled softly at my reflection, but my smile faded as I saw the scars buried deep within my wrists... Anger filled my blood, causing me to punch my mirror, sending it shattering across the floor. The noise must have alerted Adam because I heard his footsteps, I knew they were his because he was wearing his snake skinned boots that made clicky noises when he walked.

"Zoe, what was that noise?" He asked, knocking softly on my door.

"Nothing, Dad" I spoke back. "Just accidentally knocked my mirror over" I yelled out as I washed my now bloody knuckles.

"Okay, we're leaving soon so hurry up" He spoke as I heard his footsteps go back downstairs.
I still wasn't in his good books from last nights little incident. He has taken not only my phone but also my laptop with 3 months being grounded.

I start picking up the pieces of mirror.

ADAM
"Tommy, you aren't thinking about what Zoe said, are you?" I question at my adorable husband to be, he looked up at me with pleading eyes.

"Not much" He replied. I could see through his lie. He stood from his seat on the dining chair. "I know it's not true." He spoke softly, hugging me. I held him.

"I love you glitterbaby, no matter what" I whispered softly.

We heard Zoe come down the stairs, Tommy let me go and walked out the back. I sighed heavily. I turn to her. She had a bandage on her knuckle. "What happened to your hand?" I asked curiously.

"Nothing, just a little bruise." She shrugged. I took in a deep breathe,

"Look, you need to say sorry to Tommy. He's outside. I recommend you do it before we go anywhere. She didn't say a single word, she only headed outside.

A little while later I was humming along to Pierce The Veil when I heard Zoe and TJ come back into the room, laughing and chatting.

"So, you guys all good?" I questioned.

"Of course, but -uh- Adam, we need to talk urgently." Tommy spoke as he walked upstairs, I shot Zoe a look of confusion.

"Don't ask. He was on the phone half the time" She spoke, I followed Tommy.
I walked in our room, TJ shut the door over slightly. His eyes were full of tears, but none spilled down his delicate face.

"What's wrong?" I asked with panic in my voice. Did something happen with Zoe and him outside.

"My Dad....He died..." Tommy spoke before breaking down into tears. I rushed over to him, holding him close to my chest, I could feel the tears he cried soak through my shirt, I knew I'd have to change it.

"It'll be okay, TJ." I say softly, rubbing his back softly.

"They didn't even tell me until today, they kept it from me." He spoke softly, the tears slowing.

"What do you mean?" I asked curiously, he moved backwards

"He died two weeks ago, Mom only just called me to tell me that she wasn't coming to the wedding, and she told me why but, that's not the worst" Tommy spoke, his words trailing.

How could his own mother not tell him that his Dad died. "Mom said, and I quote 'Weddings are only made for men and women, I do not want to be at a same sex marriage'" His voice was quiet, as if he was talking to himself.

"Tommy, that is her loss, you are my whole world and I love you, no matter what." I spoke, he smiled a little.

"How do you think Zoe will feel, after we tell her what we're doing?" He asked suddenly, going to the mirror to fix his eyeliner.

"I don't know how she'll react, we'll tell her after the wedding." I spoke, wrapping my arms around Tommy's waist, kissing his neck. He felt skinny and so fragile.

ZOE
Two weeks until Adam's wedding and I am so excited. I can't wait to see him smile when he ties the knot. He's happy with Tommy...

"You ready?" Adam asks as he comes down the stairs, followed by Tommy.

"Of course" I smile as we walk outside and to Adam's car.

We arrive at the diner, I get out of the car and smile at the lights. Adam wouldn't usually take me out when I am grounded but it is to celebrate Monte and Hayley's anniversary. Tommy and Adam seemed anxious when in the car, they kept sharing glances and Tommy seemed like he was going to break down. His hand stayed on Adam's leg the whole way here.

We all walk into the diner to be met with a waitress, she had long blonde hair that was pulled back into a ponytail. Her make-up was done up nicely.

"Mr Lambert?" She questioned. Adam simply nodded. "Great, follow me" She spoke chripy.

"Adam!" I heard Hayley yell as we walked into the private area of the diner. They hugged and said hello. She hugged Tommy and simply smiled at me, I kept my gaze to the ground. Neil came over to say hello, giving me a hug.

"I'm just going to quickly head to the bathroom, that cool?" I asked as everyone chatted. Adam nodded and went back to his conversation.

I walked into the direction of the bathroom, I turned a corner, only to be knocked down by someone. I groaned as I looked up from my spot on the ground.

"I'm so sorry" He spoke. As he helped me up, I realised that it was Noah. A slap was what came next, anger in it. He held his cheek.

"How could you" I spoke, tears ready to spill. He pulled me aside, out of view from everyone.

"I didn't mean to leave you. The cops took you away, I couldn't do anything" He spoke.

"You could have bailed me out! You could have stopped me from hitting that bitch!" I yelled. "You could have stopped me from accepting those damn drugs" His lips met mine and it seemed all of my anger flowed out of my body.

"I'm sorry, Zoe. I didn't want you to get hurt, I didn't mean for this to happen. I can make it up to you. I promise. But I have to go. Meet me at HotTopic tomorrow 12pm, okay?"

"I'm grounded, I can't go anywhere." I sighed.

"Try to get out. Even if it's for twenty minutes" He smiled, he kissed my lips again and left.

I quickly headed back to dinner before anyone came sussing me out.

"You okay?" Monte asked as I sat down next to Adam.

"Yeah" I smiled back at him.

God, what am I even doing? Adam would KILL me if he found out who Noah was. So why am I doing this...?
