I Don't Care

What an emotional day..

(Still Zoi's POV)
I woke up to Victoria shaking me then throwing clothes at my face. It was a black ruffly skit and a blueish, grayish blouse looking thing. "Put it on!.. we have to go!" I hurried and put it on and washed my face, brushed my teeth and put my shoes on and walked into the living room/ kitchen, dining area, and saw Lori she was wearing dress pants and a white button up. "Okay.. let's do this..." I said walking out of the door bumping into Mark. "Sorry I was about to knock.." he said and I just grabbed his hand. "It's fine... let's just go." We got there and we even snuck Lori into the court room. The trial went on for awhile.. turns out they linked her with four different murders.. Me and Stormy would have been her fifth and sixth. They finally called me up. "Zoi Gauge Williams.. the surviving victim" they asked me questions and I was doing good, keeping it together. Until they started showing pictures of me in the E. R. Covered in dirt and my own blood.. it was everywhere.. Amber kept on staring at me through it and smiling. I saw my emotionless face.. I looked dead.. then I looked at the jury.. their faces contorted with disgust and awe. Then I looked at Markus he looked like he was going to be sick, covering his mouth and had a tear rolling down his face. And Tori looked so angry,she could break anything you put in front of her, I bet it's taking everything not to break Toby's hand. And Lori and Stormy both had the same expressions.. Awe and sadness.. And I had to explain exactly.. what she did to me... what she said... and how I felt.. I had to be completely honest. And I broke down.. I couldn't hold it in anymore.. I started crying. I was embarrassed, but they took me off the stand and called Stormy up.. She hugged me after she finished.. they did the same thing.. showed her pictures and everything....there was a few 'awes' in the room.. we were both crying and she just held onto me so tightly. And of course Amber refused to say where her brother was.. but by the end she was guilty and was going to prison for along time,there was a manhunt out for her brother. (I think I used the right words?) Amber kept staring at me through the whole thing... just smiling.. And I'm still worried about finding her douche bag brother.. If he was smart, he probably would've left and never looked back.. But he's not so I'm probably not going to sleep till someone finds him. Anyways after the trail we helped Lori get a restraining order and a weapon to defend herself with.. Which was an aluminum bat she picked out at a pawn shop. When we got home I locked myself in my room, I plugged in my headphones and looped one of my favorite songs over and over again.. No matter how many times I listen to it.. it never gets old and still gives me goosebumps. And I was just laying in the middle of my floor when I heard someone knocked. "Mhm" I groaned and crawled to unlock my door then I crawled back to my spot. "It's open..." I said putting my headphones back on. It was Victoria. "Hey.. Are you alright?.." she said sitting on the floor right next to me. "Yeah, why wouldn't I be?.." I paused my music again. "Don't lie to me Zoi.. We've been friends since the first year of middle school, and I know when you have a problem." She looked at me, her chocolate eyes were staring into my soul...(If I had one.. ) And I broke. "Okay mom' I said sarcastically, I guess I'm just feeling a little anxious that there's still someone out there who wants to hurt us.. and I'm sad that I'm powerless to help, because if I ever saw him.. I'd probably start crying..." I trailed off. I really wish I hadn't said that last part. "Why would you start crying?.." Tori said getting closer. "Three days.. but it felt like and eternity...and he, he's mostly the reason.. I-i.." I stared at the ground, my body was yelling at me to 'shut the hell up' I was staring to say something I didn't want to. "Zoi?.. What did he do?.." she got up and I looked at her. "No.. Oh my God! Is it- did he?..." she shook her head "Do what I'm thinking right now?.."I shook my head I was going to say something but my thoughts were interrupted by Tori grabbing my hand and tossing my shoes at me. "Tori?" I asked but she just opened the door and pounded on Markus's door.

(Markus's POV)
I grabbed the baseball bat I decided to keep by my door as I opened it. "Hello?.." I opened it and almost dropped it. I was surprised by her expression.. she looked agitated... "What did I-uh do?.."I asked my voice kind of cracked in the middle of my sentence. "Nothing, come on your coming with us." And I looked at Zoi, she was behind her but she looked.. off. "What happened?.." I asked and Tori. "Nothing.." she said, I set down my bat and put on my shoes. I locked my door and Victoria grabbed my arm and drug me down to the parking lot and we all got in her car. She was strong for someone so small.. But I sat in the backseat with Zoi, and she didn't say anything.. not one word to me. I was stating to get concerned a little bit, and she rested her head on my shoulder but her face was hidden. I grabbed her hand and she still didn't do anything. And I saw were we were. "Victoria?.. why are we in the middle of nowhere?.." she turned in her seat. "Think of this as a 'meeting'.. Now Zoi.. Please tell us exactly what's bothering you.."
