Skater Love

Chapter 10

Nerf's POV

Zoie decides to ask me if I wanted to go in her house. Did I really had to say "sure"? I mean I want to and all but I'm scared... Wait, what am I even scared about. As I think all this thoughts, Zoie looks at me. That just reminded me how good that kiss was. Wans't even a kiss. We actually made out. I loved it especially when we did it in the rain. Usually you would see that stuff in movies and makes you want to do the same. Today was even better than 2 days ago. 

"You coming?"Zoie asks, with a nervous tone.

"Uh, yeah.Yeah." I say shaking my head a little wondering why was I thinking so much.

As Zoie closed the door she ran up stairs. Probably gonna change. That's when I heard footsteps running down. Zoie had a couple of towels.

" Here. Dry yourself off." She said with a smile on her face. I smile to the gesture and dry my hair and my neck.

"So um...." I say awkwardly.

"Wannagoinmyroom." I hear Zoie say too quickly. 

"What?" I ask.

"Wanna go to my room..." She says with a red face. I smile to her cuteness.

"Sure,why not." 

We both walk up the stairs and enter a oddly small pink room. I giggle a little but I remember it's her grandma's house so it probably wansn't her choice.

" I know what you're thinking... " She says scowling playfully.

"Aha cute room." I say winking. She shakes her head and giggled a little.

"Want something else to wear? You're soaking wet!" She asks

" Haha if you don't mind." She nodds and looks through her suitcase. She pulls out a large hoodie with 'Nike' written on it. 

"Thanks!" I say as she hands it over. 

Pulling the hoodie over me and feeling warm again, I look over to Zoie with a sad look. Oh no. Did I do something wrong again?

"You ok?" I ask worriedly.

"No." She says looking down at the ground as she sits on her bed. I walk over to sit next to her.

" What's wrong Zoie?" I ask calmly while brushing her wet hair.

" That hoodie is my dad's. Well, was my dad's." My eyes wander to hers. Her eyes looked so sad and watery.

"You see, my dad....Had cancer.. And I don't know why I'm still missing him after 6 years. 6years!"She yells while her tears drop down on her cheek.

"Please. Please don't judge me like Cher does. Please." She begs as she wraps her hands around my waist leaving her head rested on my chest. Tears and tears ran through the hoodie. I didn't care. I felt so sorry for Zoie.

"Cher?" I ask.

"My....Sister. Really fucked up sister." She sniffles a little.

"Well don't listen to her Zoie. There's no need for anyone to judge. I'm sorry what happened to your father." I say hugging her tighter and hearing her sobb more.

"Thank you Nerf. I'm happy you understand me. No one else does." She says looking up. I stare right into her brown sparkling eyes. I see a little happiness in them. I smile to just starring at them as she did with me. She sits up wiping her tears with her hoodie's sleeve. 

 " Your welcome Zoie. I care for you..." I puase to what I just said. 

".... I-I care for you too.." Zoie says as I put my head up in surprise. She smiles to me. Her nose is all red from crying and her eyes look so sad yet happy in this moment.
