Zoe's POV

I woke up on the floor in Madison's living room. My head was pounding and I felt like I had been hit by a truck. When I sat up I saw Haylee passed out half on and half off the couch. Madison was out cold in her dad's recliner. The fact that we were at Madison's house meant that we had obviously left the party.

I put my shoes on and grabbed my phone off the floor. My house wasn't too far away from Madison's so I just decided to walk home. I looked at my phone and saw that I had about five missed calls. Two of them were from my idiot mother and the other three were from Whitney.

I stopped dead in my tracks and just smiled. She must have been worried to have called that many times. I started walking again and when I reached my house I found my mother and the douche bag gone.

Good, I thought. I get the house to myself.

When I got to my room I shut the door softly behind me and locked it. I set my phone on the nightstand and fell onto my bed, exhausted. My phone rang, and in the state I was in I didn't think to check the caller ID.

"Hello," I said groggily.

"Thank god you answered!"

My eyes shot open; it was Whitney.

"Yeah, sorry I meant to call you back."

"I'm so sorry I didn't answer last night, I was at dinner with my parents and couldn't answer. But as soon as I saw you called I tried calling you back."

"It's okay, I'm fine," I mumbled.

"You don't sound fine," she said, her voice full of concern.

"I just have a ha-"

I stopped myself short, knowing that I couldn't admit to getting wasted the night before.

"You just have what? You broke up."

"Uh, nothing," I tried to say convincingly.

"Zoe," she said sternly.

"What?"

"...Are your parents home?"

My train of thought halted.

"Uh, no, why?""

"I'll see you in a minute."

With that she hung up. After I realized she was coming over I shot out of my room and into the bathroom. I had to shower this smell off of me! I reeked of alcohol and cigarette smoke. Just as I was getting out the door bell rang. My heart leaped into my throat. I wrapped the towel around my midsection and ran downstairs to answer the door.

Whitney's POV

When Zoe opened the door, I about fell over. She was wrapped in a towel with a toothbrush sticking out of her mouth. Her hair was wet and hanging down her shoulders.

"Come in," she said around the toothbrush in her mouth.

I walked in and she went straight upstairs. Smiling I followed her into the bathroom. When she turned around and realized I was behind her face turned bright red. I glanced at her towel then back up at her eyes, raising an eyebrow and smirking. That made her turn even redder than before. I turned her so that her back was against me and I kissed her neck softly.

"It's not like you have anything I haven't seen before, Zoe," I said chuckling.

That made her laugh and she turned her head to look back at me and I took her lips with mine. I felt bad for not answering her call. I had been worried that something had happened to her and then it just scared me worse when she didn't answer. I wanted her so badly...

The kiss deepened as I slid my hands down her body. She turned around and wrapped her arms around my neck keeping me close to her. She tensed up and I opened my eyes to look at her. Her face was cherry red and I realized her towel was on the floor. I started laughing and lead her to her room.

I gently laid her down on her bed and kissed her passionately. I had a hand on her shoulder and another on her upper arm. I gripped her arm as I felt the heat rising in our kiss. She gave a small cry of pain, causing me to stop.

"What's wrong," I asked looking her in the eye.

Her eyes were welling up with tears. That was when I saw bruises on her shoulders and upper arm. I frowned and gave her a hard look.

"Did something happen to you last night," I asked.

She wouldn't look me in the eye. I gently grabbed her chin with my thumb and forefinger, tilting her head up to make her look at me, but she still avoided my gaze.

"Zoe.... Please look at me."

I saw fear and pain in those green eyes when they finally met mine.

"Why happened?"

"My..."

I gave her room to sit up and sat against the headboard of her bed and she cuddled up next me and I held her tight.

"My mom's boyfriend grabbed me last night. He said if I ever spoke to my mother again the way I did last night, that I would punished," she said quietly.

My grip of my arm around her shoulders tightened. No one was going to hurt her if I had anything to say about it.

"Zoe, I promise I'm not gonna let him doing anything to you," I said kissing her forehead.

She fell asleep in my arms and I rested my head on hers. It was peaceful, just laying there with her in my arms. Then I remembered she was naked, so I got up and laid a blanket over the top of her. I looked down at her and I couldn't help but smile. She looked so serene, so beautiful.

My heart fluttered as I laid down next her. I got under the blanket with her and fell into a beautiful sleep.

Zoe's POV

I woke the next morning feeling my cheek against something warm and comforting. I looked to my side to see Whitney lying next to me with her arm around my waist. I smiled and closed my eyes, snuggling into her. But then I heard something... I heard the front door open and my mother's voice came into earshot.

"Zoe? Are you home?"

I heard her footsteps coming up the stairs and I nearly flew out of my skin. I started shaking Whitney frantically.

"Whitney! Wake up!"

She jolted awake and she heard the footsteps faster than I thought she would. We looked each other in the eye and just as Whitney stood up from my bed the door knob turned...
