I remain completely still outside of our guest room. She doesn't remember anything to do with vampires so how am I suppose to chat to her about everything?

I have red eyes so what am I suppose to do if she questions me about that, I suppose I could just say I'm wearing contact lenses until I buy some blue ones, because before I had my transformation I had blue eyes.

Urgh, I really do wish I could wind back the clock and return back to normality.

"Are you gonna knock?" A soft voice says from behind me.

"I was just about to" I answer, not turning away from Becky's door.

"Would you like me to come in with you?" Ms Coles asks.

"Please" I say, because I'm sure if I'm in there on my own I am sure to say the wrong thing.

"Come on then" She says, urging me to knock. Where I tap the door five times as that use to be mine and Becky's secret knock that we used when I found out I was pregnant with Liam. It was to keep it a secret so I knew who was knocking on my bedroom door at the time.

"Zoey?" I hear a voice say from behind the door. At least they haven't made her forget that.

"Becky? Oh my gosh are you okay?" I frantically question as I open the door and run straight to her side.

"I'm fine, nothing a few stitches can't fix" she bravely says "why is Ms Coles here?" She adds once she sees Ms Coles standing behind me.

"I've just came to say get well soon and that the musical will wait until you get back to school" Ms Coles lies, how can she make herself sound like everything is completely fine?

"Years of practice" Her voice responds in my head. Oh yeah, i forgot that vampires could read each others mind. I'm gonna have to learn how to block them out.

"Thanks, but I'm hoping to be back tomorrow" Becky answers as she sits herself up but grimaces from the pain.

"Why don't you take the rest of the week off? It looks like you need it!" I say as I have her best interest at heart.

"Yeah I agree with Zoey, the school has already been informed and will understand" Ms Coles adds to back up my point.

"But I'm directing the musical" Becky argues with a pout.

"Well in the mean time we will practices the songs so that we are all perfect for your return" Ms Coles answers as well as give her a side ways hug so that she doesn't her.

"Okay" Becky agrees with a huge sigh just to add effect.

"Why don't me and you have a movie night up here?" I ask attempting to change the subject to cheer her up.

"Sure, what films do you have in mind?" She questions with a grin beginning to form on her face.

"How about Grease and Wild child?" I ask, knowing that those films are her favourite.

"YES!" She screeches with excitement causing both me and Ms Coles to burst out laughing at her.

"What snacks do you want?" I ask whilst reaching for the pen that is on the Chester drawers.

"Popcorn, chocolate, ready salted crisp" she lists as well as other things she likes. So in other words she makes me write down at least half of the stuff that my kitchen consists of.

"Anything else?" I ask, but as I look up from the notepad that has the list of food on it. I find her staring at me as if she is examining me.

"Yeah, why do you have red eyes?"

Damn. I knew she was going to ask that question, yet that still doesn't stop me from panicking. In fact I feel like I am sweating buckets and she must surely hear me gulping.

"Um, I'm wearing contact lenses?" I answer although it comes out more of a question.

"Oh okay, they suit you" Is all she says as she turns her frown into a grin. Thank god she believed me.

"Right well, I will go my pyjamas on and get the snacks and films then I will be right back for our girlie night" I say, making sure I'm out of there as fast I can possibly move once she nods her head in approval.

"Well done, you did very well" Ms Coles says as she walks in front of me down the stairs.

"Thank you - for everything" I answer as I recall every situation she has helped me in.

"No problem sweetie, now have a fun night I'm going home to my family" she says before saying goodbye to everyone else.

Several minutes later, I have had my shower and I'm dressed in my princess and the frog pyjamas. Don't judge! A sixteen year old girl wearing Disney sleep wear is completely normal. I hope.

However, I have also came to the conclusion that I am very short as I can not reach the popcorn. So at this moment in time I'm mounting at the kitchen side trying to reach the cupboard.

"Need a lift?" Someone asks from behind me, where as I look over my shoulder I see Jack standing in the door frame. Admiring my behind.

"My eyes are up here" is all I answer, making him snap out of his thoughts before making his gaze meet my eyes.

"Sorry" he sheepishly says and scratches the back of his neck before walking closer towards me.

Where just as I am about to say "don't worry I got it" he lifts me up and places his head in between my legs so that I am sitting on his shoulders. Meaning I am able to reach the popcorn at long last. Praise The Lord!

"May I ask why you are dressed in Disney clothes?" Jack suspiciously asks as he places me back down on the floor, although he does wrap his arms around my waist from behind as I organise the snacks for me and Becky on a tray.

"Me and Becky are having a movie night" I answer as I empty some cookies into bowl.

"Can I join?" He seductively asked whilst burying his head in the crook of my neck. And let me tell you, it took me every ounce of strength that I have to say "no"

"Why not?" He whines, now taking his head out of my neck and resting his chin on my shoulder.

"Because it's a Girly night, why don't you spend it with the guys?" I respond.

"But they're not you" he pouts and as I turn myself around so that I am facing him I can't help but burst out laughing at his pouting face.

"Awh Hun, don't worry. We will have plenty of time to be together. How about tomorrow night we go out for a meal?" I suggest.

"You mean like a date?" He asks.

"Sure, why not?" I ask beginning to feel slightly hurt by his reaction. But to my surprise he drops down onto one knee and says "Zoey Haynes, will you do me the honour of going on our first date with me tomorrow night?" Oh I get it. He wanted to ask me, not the other way around. Although, this does make me role my eyes, men. You can't live with them yet you can't live without them.

"It would be my honour" I answer, helping him back up on to his feet before planting a long lingering kiss on his lips.

"Go have fun with the guys, I will be fine I promise" I say as he gives me one last hug before I join Becky upstairs.

"Fine, but I will be reading your mind every five minutes to know that you are safe" he says in a protective tone.

"And I will be texting you every time you do that until I know how to respond to you in my mind" I answer with a giggle causing him to chuckle as well.

"Alright, have fun and see you tomorrow at school" he says planting a small peck on my forehead before leaving my house.

Right, now with mother and father downstairs watching television and all the guys out of the house, I can enjoy a nice move night with my best friend Becky. Lets just pray I don't let anything slip.
