The Skater Chick - Emblem3/ Wesley Fanfic

Getting Away

Chapter 4 - Getting Away

*Zoey's POV*

I walked through the front door to see my parents sitting on the couch and Shane in an arm chair on the other side of the small coffee table in front of the couch.

"Zoey, honey, come sit down," my mom said. I made my way the second arm chair next to Shane and sat down.

"What''s up, guys?" I ask looking between my parents.

"We just wanted to talk," Mom said.

"Okay...?" I trailed off, confused.

"It's come to our attention that you have been spending time with a certain boy," my father speaks.

"Yeah. What about it?" I say, anger edging my voice. I already had a feeling where this was going.

"Well, we want you to be careful. I have heard that boy is trouble. I don't want my baby girl getting hurt," Mom says.

"What is with you people?! You haven't even met him and you're judging him! I was just hanging out with him! Is it so bad that I actually made a friend that isn't using me to get to Shane?! Jesus, you guys just want to keep me from being happy, don't you?!" I yelled before stomping towards the stairs.

"Zo, we are just trying to keep you safe! I heard that kid is trouble! I don't want you to get hurt!" Shane said.

I turned around to face them. "'You heard', Shane, you heard. That's just hear say. As of now, we are only friends! We went to a freaking dog park today! Do you not understand that a girl and a guy can perfectly be just friends?! Oh no, you don't, because practically every girl you've ever talked to, you end up sucking face with!" I yell, again turning towards the stairs.

"Thanks, Zoey. That was real nice to say to your only brother who is only trying to look out for you!" Shane says.

"Jesus, Shane! We are only friends right now! We took Oliver to go play at the dog park and had lunch! That's it! You know I don't have friends! Why can't you just let me have this one friend?! The one time someone isn't using me, you are against them! Is it because I like him? Do you want to push him away so you are the guy in my life? Are you afraid I'm going to stop hanging out with you? That's sweet but what about when you're at school? What am I supposed to do, wait for you to get home? Just let me have one fucking friend!"

"What your language young lady!" my mom says.

"Why does it have to be him though? Why can't be anybody else, Zoey?" Shane asks.

"Are you serious right now? Do you honestly think I just wanted to be his friend, so I pushed everybody else away? Because if you do, you are completely stupid! Don't you think I've tried to make friends?! Nobody wants to be seen with the skater chick. Or they use me to get to you, the great Shane Parker! This one person actually doesn't mind and you don't me to hang out with him? Why do you hate me?!"

"I don't, Zoey! I just don't like that guy!" Shane spits.

"Well you're gonna have to put up with it, 'cause I'm going to keep hanging out with him! And whether you like it or not, I'm going on a date with him on Friday!"

"There's not a chance in Hell that you're going on a date with him!" he says.

"Well looks like Hell just froze over, so I'm going on that date! Suck it up!" I yell.

"Over my dead body!"

"Why do you care so much? Why don't you just go hook up with some random slut and leave me alone?!" I huff and run to my room.
