An Alec Volturi love story

22) story time

Zoe's perspective
When the ball ended i headed back to the garden still in my dress, and sat down on the edge of the small fountain, i was thinking about what happened today and how it was such a busy day.  At least it was fun for a while, mostly when Alec took me to this Garden, and we had to play hide and seek without getting cought by who ever it was that was looking for us, and get back to the ball without everyone noticeing us walking in.Its hard to believe it but we did it.
I heard some one clear their throat, which made me jump. " sorry" they said, noticeing that i jumped, i looked around to see who was talking to me, but i didn't see anyone till i looked  in front of me,i noticed Marcus, walking forward, towards me. i stand up to show respect to him, he just chuckled to himself. wait he chuckled? Isn't that the first time he laughed or smiled since Didyme died? i shook my head a little to get that thought out of my head. "Marcus?" i asked wondering who that voice was.

Marcus's Perspective
I walk into the garden, and see a girl sitting  there on  the edge of the fountain in her gown still, i cleared my throat. She jumped."sorry" i apologized. She looked around to see where my voice was coming from, she didn't see me until she looked towards me, and saw me walking towards her, she stood up, probably to show respect, i just chuckled at myself. Wait did i just laugh? This is something new, i haven't laughed eversince didyme died, i stumbled at her name a little, it causes me so much pain just to think of her, or speak of her eversince i found out she was dead. "Marcus?" she asked. " yeah, its me Zoe" i responded. i told her to sit back down, and she did as i told her to.  i sat down next to her faceing her."do you want to hear a story Zoe?" she nodded her head yes. "well its not really a story, i wanted to talk to you, about how happy you've made Alec, I haven't seen him this happy for a very long time, actually, i've never seen him this happy, none of us have, not even jane." i said. "really? u mean, he's never really been as happy as he is right now before he met me." she said, kinda like a question. "oh,yeah, Jane's actually starting to wonder if Alec's her brother anymore because she's never seen him this happy" i said, She just looked at me, smiling, and i continued. "According to Aro, he hasn't shut up about you in his head eversince we got back from our visit to you and your family." "oh and whenever he got  a letter from you he'd jump up and down like a little kid having a sugar rush, or like a little kid at a candy store for the first time. Most of us would just laugh at him, or tease him afterwords about how he reacted to getting a letter from you." i added. She smiled even more.
then i started talking again " then on the day of your arrival, Alec stayed in the reception area until you got here, he wouldn't leave. We try to drag him out of the reception area, but once we stood him up and let go of him, he'd run back. Then when you showed up, his face lite up like a christmas tree!" She laughed a little. "so you mean i've really made him happy just being alive and allowing my mother to send me to forks to live with the Cullens?" she said "yeah, i suppose you could say that"i said. i checked my watch and it was 11:00, Zoe let out a big yawn. "its  getting late you should really get to bed, you look tired." i said. i walked her to her room just to make sure she doesn't  ends  up hurting herself. when we got to her room before she opened her door, i kissed her on the forehead and told her goodnight and left.
