My 9/11

Almost There

----TRISTAN POV----~~~

I looked back. Zoey ran back over to me. Danger was scampering behind her. She quickly knelt down. Her cat went into her arms, she lifted him up. I could tell she was still in pain. She winced when she had picked him up. Those nasty cuts.....that awful guy!

"What was that all about?" I asked. We started walking back to my house again.

"I'm gonna go see Bethany tomorrow morning, then we can make some plans," she explained.

"Oh, ok,"

"Hey! Is your m-mom still mad at m-me?" she suddenly said, stuttering. She looked down at her brown cat. Poor Zoey. She had been through so much. Her cuts looked red and puffy. Infected. They were still bleeding, it must've hurt like crazy. I looked into her beautiful blue eyes.

"She isn't mad. It's ok Zoey, it wasn't your fault," I said comfortingly. She looked up at me and gave me a sweet smile, I suddenly went red.

Suddenly (again), Zoey stopped and gave me a hug. I couldn't help it, I hugged her back. Zoey instantly took a step back and stopped. I let go. I gave her a puzzled look. She gave me a little smile, but I could tell she felt really uncomfortable. I mentally punched myself. Stupid, stupid, stupid!

I was acting like an idiot around her!

Danger meowed.

We were finally were back in the city. Me and Zoey walked back home in silence. I had blew it. We came to my apartments and took the elevator to my floor. We walked down the hall and got to my door. I opened it.

"And where have you been?" came an angry voice. Oh no.

-----ZOEY POV----~~~~

I felt VERY over-wellmed. I had just gotten out of being kidnapped. I had caught up to Tristan. We were walking back to his place.

I suddenly realized something. "Hey! Is your m-mom still mad at m-me?" I asked Tristan slowly. I was scared his Mom would kick me out as soon as she layed eyes on me. And when she saw Danger with me, she'd call the police! I would be shipped off to jail! Again!

"She isn't mad. It's ok Zoey, it wasn't your fault," he replied sweetly.

He sounded like a true friend right now. I gave him a hug. He was so nice. I then, felt him hug me back. Wait.....he like me! I suddenly let go and took a step back. He suddenly looked at me confused. I gulped.

I gave him a shaky smile. We kept walking until Danger meowed.

We were back in downtown New York. It was still dark out. The whole city was lit with a thousand lights. It was a breathtaking sight. It was so beautiful at night. It was probably three in the morning.

Tristan, me, and Danger, who was in my arms, walked back to his house. I was still a bit scared. His words did comfort me, but I was still freaked. His whole family was going to reject me.

Us three finally made our way to his building. Going up the elevator, we got to his apartment.

He opened the door.

TRISTAN POV-----

"Mom! What are y-you doing up so late?" I managed to say. She now had her cut stitched up. Wow, must've went straight to the ER while I was gone. I was scared. Not for me, but for Zoey.

(I would probably only get grounded for a couple days).

"Waiting for you, it's been five, FIVE hours since you've been gone! And look who you brought with you! Zoey Katraz! Get. Out. Of. My. House!" she hissed.
