Chapter 4

ZOEY'S POV:

" Good morning!" I screamed, excitedly, as I made my way down the stairs.
" Good mornin! School today eh?" Nick replied , looking quite nervous.
" Ugh, yeah.. You too I believe?"
" Yes, I was just hoping if you can give me a ride? Because you know I don't have a car and-"
" It's okay, I understand. I'll make us some breakfast" I answered, and he looked relieved.
~~~~~~~~~
Breakfast was great, I made pancakes with Nutella, and some french toast, along with the orange juice I absolutely love.
I got ready for school, being all girly and wearing a black skirt with my favorite aqua blue sweater that I got for Christmas.

As Nick was all dressed up as well, we headed to my car and got ready for the day.

"Okay, where's​ your school, Nick?"
" It's pretty close actually, Westlake High School, familiar with it?"
My eyes shook wide open. Nick, the random stranger who's been staying with me for the last two days, is, apparently, in the same school as me.
" What?" I couldn't believe what he said, so he had to repeat it again.
" I actually heard that, I'm still in shock. That's my school."
" I've always felt that you were quite familiar! Wow!" He replied, emphasising on the O.
" This is crazy! We better hurry up, my dear school mate, or we'll be late for class and our teachers will probably chop our asses off"
I replied sarcastically, and he let out a chuckle.

NICK'S POV:

The thought that Zoey never acknowledged me was quite funny, and sad, to be honest.
I've been stalking this girl- not in a creepy way- ever since I started attending school in Westlake. Zoey was the first one who caught my attention, as she was always laughing and messing around, which made me notice how of a happy girl she is.
You might be wondering how on earth did I end up being her housemate, or whatever you call it, well, let's turn times and go back to exactly 2 days ago.

Flashback..

" I'm tired of your messed up behavior!"  " Chester- my step father- shouted, as he tried to approach me.
" And I'm tired of everything about you! You little piece of-
I was interrupted by the sudden move of his hands, moving directly towards my face.
For a minute, all I could see was a scene of pitch black, and hear his ear-splitting shouts.

I felt my heart shatter into pieces, and I couldn't stop the tears from running down my cheeks, moving softly across my face.

Ever since mom died, Chester and I fought a lot. Even though he only visited every once in a while, but whenever he had the chance, he would beat me up until blood would spout out of my body. I had no choice but to stay, as I didn't want to end up homeless​.

This day, in particular , I decided I didn't​ want to live this way any more, everything was becoming too hard. I had to cover the bruises at school, I had to put bandaids all over my body, it was becoming too obvious that I was being abused, but I didn't dare to tell anyone.

I put on my backpack, that had all of my school work, some of my clothes, and my wallet. I had my phone inside my pocket, I was good to go.
That's when I decided to run away.

I knocked the door wide open, and I started running as fast as my legs could carry, Chester tried to follow me but I was definitely faster than him.

I started dashing around the streets, when I stopped in front of a house, kinda small yet it looked so modern and comfortable.
The lights were all off, except for one room at the top of the house, I ignored this fact and hid behind the bushes anyway.

I stayed there for a few minutes.
Dead silence... That's what I could hear.
I felt quite satisfied that I didn't get caught, even though I had no idea for what was to come, the idea that I was away from Chester made me feel safe.
I layed there for moments, when suddenly, I could hear a loud growl nearby, a dog was obviously planning on tearing me into pieces right now.

I stood up, but guess what, another figure was standing infront of me, right next to the dog.

Her brownish blonde hair flowed carelessly over her shoulder, her mesmerising​ green eyes were filled​ with horror, and her body all standing on an end, waiting for any signs of danger.

It was her, my dream girl, right infront of my eyes.
