Thanks for reading! I'd also like to take this opportunity to say thank you so much for the really nice feedback! I've never really had people saying update :) I'm gonna continue with this book until it lasts! I love writing it!

Standing at the bus station was chilly with Mum and Dad. I had forgotten my coat. Finally, however, I saw the bus coming. It was coming at full speed.

"Come on, Zara" Mum said, looking behind while walking - into the road!

"HONEY! Look out!" Dad said, jumping into the road and blocking her from the bus.

But it was too late. They were squashed. Smacked by the bus.

"AGH!"

I woke up, covered in sweat, sobbing. Why had I been crying? Oh yeah. I'm so glad that was just a dream. But it actually had happened, but I wasn't there. Since Zalfie had adopted me I had kind of forgotten a bit about what had happened - until now.

"Zara?! Oh, honey are you ok?" Zoe came rushing in, hugging me.

"I'm s-so sorry!" I cried. " I sound really silly but... I had a nightmare."

"Oh don't worry! It doesn't sound silly at all! What was it about?" she said, sitting on the floor, stroking my head.

"My Mum and Dad being killed by the bus they were hit by." I said.

Zoe hugged me tight, " I'm so sorry, Zara. It's ok though. It will be tough but Alfie and I are always gonna be here for you. I love you so much!" I could see Zoe was fighting back tears. I truly loved her.

"It's actually about 7:30. What say we go out to the beach for the day?" Zoe said.

"Really? Oh yes please!" I said, my spirits lightening a bit.

"After you've got dressed, do you want me to do your makeup?" Zoe said.

"Would you really?! Thanks so much!" I replied.

"It's no problem." She smiled and walked out of the room.

After getting dressed and having a wash, Zoe did my makeup, far better than I had ever been able to do it, I must say. She also used some of her own on me, too. We went for a pale pink lip and a smoky eye. We then had breakfast and headed out to the beach, taking Nala with us.

"Do you want to play would you rather?" Alfie asked us as we walked along the sandy beach.

"Ok!" Zoe said.

"Would you rather... hmm... aha! Eat dog food or cat food?"

"Eww! Neither." I laughed.

"Yeah, neither!" Zoe said.

"Well you have to pick one!" Alfie said, grinning.

"Ok, ok. I would say... dog food because cat food can sometimes be all wet and yuck!" Zoe laughed.

"Yeah. Probably the same. I also saw these little dog droplets which I we tempted to eat once, ( they were my neighbours' but she was giving them to her dog), and they were like white and looked delicious!" I said, running my tummy.

We all laughed. After a great day at the beach, we headed back home and finished watching Pretty Little Liars.

At the end, Zoe was checking her phone. She suddenly gasped and dropped it, smashing the screen with a crash!
