You? AGAIN!

CHAPTER 1

ZOEY'S POV

Well it's hard to explain but I'll try if you let me

Well its hard to sustain

I'll cry if you let me

This doesn't change the way I feel about you or your place in my life

(please don't cry)

Can't you see I'm dying here?

A shot of broken heart that is chased with fear

Angels cry when stars collide

And I can't eat and I can't breathe

I wouldn't want it any other way

Songs are always something that soothes me.. But seeing all these workloads in front of my desk even my favourite song is no help.. I still have to finish designing the remaining dress for the showstopper.. HELL!! I was supposed to finalise the showstopper for the show... SHIT!! how can I forget it, the show is in 5 days and I haven't decided the showstopper..

"Sarah, come here right now." I yelled on the phone and my assistant came bursting into my room.. "Sarah when are the shot listed show stoppers coming? After the show is over?? " She was staring at me for my outburst.. I am usually really sweet and I hardly shout at my employes but considering the workload I just couldn't control.. She has been working with me since a year now and she knows me really well..

"N-nnoo, she is supposed to come tomorrow at lunch.. I told her to because I thought you might want to work today and complete the designs." She said.. She had a point and somehow she perfectly knows what I want..

"Oh! Okay thanks.. And please get me a coffee." I told her and she immediately obeyed me... I didn't know what to design I just am sooo tired.. But without further wasting time I popped my headphones in my ears and started scribbling...

After what seemed ages I had something done in front of me.. It was a sheer V neck long gown.. And it had black sequins all over it with a bow right on the waistline.. It looked beautiful and so finally the dress is completed..I called Sarah and explained her everything in details she kept nodding her head and then went away with the design..

Now it was time for me to call it a day.. I rushed towards my car and found the media rushing towards me.. SHIT!!

I hate the media. They are always the cherry on top of my bad day!! "Ma'am, Ma'am who is the show stopper of your upcoming show? Rumours say that you have stolen Sasha Hawkins' designs? Is it true??" All those idiots kept flooding me with stupid questions.. I mean why would I steal Sasha's designs?? I design better, people buy my dresses more..

"Excuse me!" I began. "You all can see my show stopper and MY designs during the show.. And all your other questions will be answered once you see the show.. Now please let me go. Thank you." With this I just ran towards my car and in a few seconds I came to my home, changed into my pjs and fell on my bed.. Suddenly my phone started ringing and I saw the caller ID and recognized it to be Emily my BFF..

''Hey Em, what's up?'' I said.. ''Zoey, are you alive?'' She said.. Stupid ''No, I am a zombie.. Zoey's dead'' I told her and heard her laughing.. ''Umm right.. Zoo do you even know I am back in New York today.. California is completely the same. San Jose high is still the same except the new bitchy batch.. And guess what I met Ella Bynes.. She's still the bitch, she is going to become a doctor.'' Emily started blabbering and never stopped. I never realized when I fell asleep... Suddenly she started screaming my name..

''Zoey Carter, speak up you dickhead.. Did you even listen to all that I told you?.'' Shitt no.. ''Duuuhhhh!! Em what do you think I fell asleep? Stupid girl.'' I lied.. Even though I had no fucking idea what she said.. ''Oh okay! So your fine? '' She asked me.. ''Yeah! I am perfectly okay. Soo uh, goodnight, I really will fall asleep this time'' I told her hoping I did not miss anything important.. ''Night sweety!! Please tell me if you need anything..'' With that she finally hung up.. Yay!! Now finally I can sleep in peace...

The next day I woke up with my phone ringing loud. Wake up call from Sarah. Aaarrggghh, I wish I could throw my phone away.. But then everyone will come running after me annoying me even more... Without further thinking nonsensical stuffs I took a shower grabbed a nice summer dress, and I teamed it up with a nice belt, grabbed my car keys and headed towards my beautiful office..

As I reached the office I saw the media outside.. Not again.. What the hell might the media be doing here so early in the morning? Don't they have a life, all they do is have microphone, a camera and run here and there flooding people with questions, or posting meaningless stories which I can never even dream of.. Anyways I am so not in the mood of facing the media now.. So I decided to go and sit in a nearby restaurant until the media disappears... I drove till I found Starbucks and went inside and took a seat.. Then I called Sarah and told her to inform me the second the media goes away..

I waited for like hours reading blogs on my web page.. I found a few really interesting questions. People seem to be more interested in me than my brand and dresses.. I kept answering their questions until I came across one question which was asked by Tim Slayer "are you single?" Like duh!! The last serious relationship I had was almost 6 years ago with Christopher Grey.. Oh I love him so much. Scratch that I LOVED him so much. Maybe I still do and I will continue loving him always.. And I know he loved me a lot. Until that night when......... 'Shine bright like a diamond' my phone began ringing and got me out of that stupid flashback..

''Hey mum,'' ''hey baby, how are you doing?'' She said.. Karen Carter or my beautiful mum leaves in California with her sister Kerry .. Aunt Kerry never got married, she was a single mother, together they lived in California and they both run a restaurant.. I always wanted her to live here with me but she never wanted to leave California, she thinks that place keeps her closer to dad.. It's been 5 years now my dad died but she still isn't out of that trauma.. ''Maa I am great just saving my ass from the media. So you coming day after tomorrow for my show?'' I asked. ''No I don't think I can make it honey. Kerry and I have to complete a big order, next time maybe?'' She informed me, I knew she was sad.. ''Oh that's fine maa, I understand..so I'll talk to you later okay bye.'' ''Bye baby take care and don't worry your designs are great I know you'll rock this Saturday. I love you.'-'

As I hung up and took a sip of my coffee a familiar figure entered Starbucks.. Someone I hadn't seen in ages, he came and took the opposite table.. He was wearing a black suit. Oh my god!! He is still the same, exactly how I saw him six years back.. Just his clothes got more formal.. The star quarterback of San Jose high is wearing a suit?? I couldn't take my eyes off of him. He is still heart warmingly sexy and hot and beautiful.. After like a few seconds he saw me too.. Oh shit this is sooo awkward... I tried hard to take my eyes off him but I don't know I can't stop looking at his dark chocolate eyes.. All those feelings, all those memories came rushing by.. I don't know what he is thinking at this moment but I just realized I never stopped loving him...

Suddenly my phone started ringing aloud.. It was Sarah, she called to inform me that the media is not there now and I can come back to the office.. For the first time in my life I was happy for being distracted by my phone.. I didn't look at his direction anymore.. I knew if I did it would kill me again.. I just rushed

out of Starbucks and drove straight to the office..
