She said, I don't want a model
I don't want a movie star
You don't have to win the lotto, oh
I want you to win my heart
Yeah, she said I just want someone true
She said I just want someone to, smoke with me babe
And lay with me babe
And laugh with me babe
I just want the simple things

Zoleka POV
My eyes opened slowly, I stared at the ceiling. I turned to my side and he was next me. My vision, dazed, I stare at him until he woke. He laughed.
"We meet again Zoleka." He said in a harsh tone, it could only be one person... my stepfather.
The emotions and memories flooded into my head.
****************************************************************************************
@2007:(10 year old me) I crawled into my bed in my new pajamas. They were pink shorts and a t-shirt. As my eyes closed, the slowly opened.
My stepfather hovered over me, as I said "Listen, I'm a big girl now. And big girls don't need to be tucked in or goodnight kisses."
He slightly backed away, then shoved his way into my twin size bed. He removed my clothes as the tears poured from my eyes harder than I did when my mother died 2 years ago.
"I thought you were a big girl? Well, this is what big girls do." He smiled and as my tears stopped falling and I just froze.
********************************************************************************************
Out of disbelief, I tried to hurry out of the bed, trying to figure where I am.
He laughed, holding my clothes I wore to my date with Jay. "Hamba kahle (Goodbye)!"
Jayron POV
*ring ring* Sawubona, uZoleka. Hey its Zoleka leave a message, and I'll get back to you.
"Ugh. Hey Zo, this is my 21st voicemail. I'm just checking to see if you're ok, because I haven't talked to you since last night. I'm gonna drive by your house and see if you're ok. Bye Zo. I love you."
"Man, I'm starting to get worried." I said on the phone with Joel as I drove to Zo's crib.
"There's nothing you need to be worried about-" Joel said being cut off by a loud swerving car noise.
"Jo, there's a girl on the street with just a sheer bed sheet with her dress and shoes in her hand."
"Jay, calm down! Why are you so worried, anyway?"
The awkward silence consumed me as I pulled off of the main road.
Looking at the shoes, I responded "Because its Zo..."
"Jay are you sure... send me a picture... ugh just to make sure."
"Fine..." I said sending the picture, then trying to get Zoleka in my car. "ZO!!! ZO!!!"
"Yup that is deFINEtely, I mean definitely her."
"I got her, but she doesn't know what happened to her. Jo, what should I do."
