A way back (ON HOLD )

1~memories

*picture of Zoe*

I can feel the car moving while I was sleeping. I started to wake up by the sound of shooting. I looked at my mom driving fast with fear in her eyes. She looked at me and said "Zoe whatever you do do not let your sister find..." And then everything went dark.

I shot up from my bed feeling the sweat on my face. I look out the window seeing it is already morning. I stood up I went and took a shower. I sat under the warm water thinking of the strange dream I had, but I know it was not a just a dream it was a memory. I can not remember my mother that well but I know she was beautiful. I am 16 and I live along with my aunt Chloe. My aunt is a doctor she usually takes night shifts so she can see me in the morning. We live in a small town called East Villa  in England. We live in a small red house with two bedrooms and two bathrooms one in my room and one in the middle of the house.

Today I was starting a new school year in my school East Villa high. I wore my black skinny jeans with my red check shirt and my black converse . I let my long curly hair that goes untilmy shoulders loosen and put on some lip gloss and went down stairs seeing my aunt Chloe sitting and  reading a book. She loved reading books she had a whole shelf in her room full of books.

"Good morning aunt Chloe" I said sitting down on a chair next to hers. She looked up from her book. "Good morning Zoe, I made you breakfast" she said while kissing the side of  my head. I ate my breakfast and looked at the time on my phone 07:45. I noticed my friend Stacy was late. I looked at my phone one more time seeing there was a message that I did not notice before, it was from Stacy.

Stacy ~ sorry Zoe my car broke down last night while I was driving my brother  home. You have to get a another ride.

When I finished reading the text I quickly shot up realizing that she's not going to be here. I can't be late on the first day of school. I quickly grabbed my bag and phone and ran to the door I looked back and said bye to my aunt before running through the door. The streets were a little quiet I could only hear about four cars on the streets. Well its like that if you live in a small town. I ran as fast as I can, before I ran into someone. I fell on the floor and looked up seeing Stacy's brother Matthew. And I small blush appeared on my face. I know it is wrong to be crushing on you best friends brother but Matthew is just someone I really like.

"Oh sorry Matthew" I said well standing up.

" Your Zoe right my sisters best friend. "

"Yes, where's  your sister shouldn't she be walking with you. Her car broke down last night while driving you."

"She actually got a ride with my mom but I woke up late and they were already gone"

When he said late I noticed I was still late for school. I quickly ran past him." Thanks, bye."
I finely got to school? I looked at my phone seeing there is still 5 minutes before class starts. I went to my locker and got my books for English lit. But stopped walking. My head was pounding. I started to see the night of the car crash. The images flashing in my mind. "Zoe wake up, go get in the car." I heard my mother say in my head. I heard shooting and then the car crashed.

I opened my eyes  running to the bathroom. I quickly shut the door  and sat down on the floor."Zoe what ever you don't let your sister find... "The memory just kept on coming back lately. Suddenly I heard the bell ring and my head stop pounding. I quickly stood up and gathered all my books of the floor. I got to class, I did not want to be late on the first day of school.

Classes went by fast and soon I found myself sitting in the cafeteria waiting for Stacy and Hayden. They usually take long since they were both in dancing. I danced with them a few times in competitions. But I was only back up for one of their dancers Emily. Emily broke her foot a few weeks ago while dancing. And since I always watched them dance I knew all the steps. But today I was hungry and had to eat. I knew they took a little long so I stood up and went outside. I sat under the big oak tree in the middle of the school courtyard .I put in my earphones and sat and listened to kiss me by One direction.

I saw Stacy and Hayden walking to the tree. I took my earphones out of my ears and stood up with my phone and greeted them

"Hi Zoe, sorry we took long, dance classes was extra long today. We need all the time we can get to practice since we are going to the finals next week."

"Its fine guys I know dancing means a lot to you guys.",

Before we could say anything more, the bell rang. I walked to my maths class with Stacy since she was in my maths class. I walked into class feeling that someone was watching me. I sat down and looked around seeing Matthew looking at me.

"Stace why is your brother looking at me?"

She looked at me. "Zoe there's some stuff I can't explain."

I looked at her giving her a questioning look.

I look at the board well the sir is talking ,I start to drift off into a sleep. I pull myself back up trying to stay awake

I been have falling asleep a lot lately, since I could not get any sleep because of the dream I was having. I started to have this dream since I turned 16. I had it a few times in the year. But since I was turning 17 next week I started to have the dream everyday.

The day went by fast and soon I was walking to the library. I walked into the library seeing not many children. And well since this was a small library the people prefer to go to the bigger library across the street. But why waste your time still walking there when you have a library at you're school

For the first day of school we sure had a lot of homework. I had homework for about 6 subjects. I finished my homework and looked at the time 16:56 the library was about to close? And when the library closes up you only have 4 minutes till the school close.

With the 4 minutes I looked for a new book to read. I found 2 new adventure books. I love reading books but not as much as my aunt. I mostly get adventure books because every time I read them I get lost in the books.

I walked out of the library seeing it is already getting dark. I stopped in my tracks noticing I don't have my diary. I can't live with out that diary, I need to find it.

I hurried into the library seeing it still open I looked at the place I was sitting and doing my homework at. It isn't here. I notice I walked quickly to my locker , scratching in it for my diary I see something in my locker. Something shiny. My diary I picked up my diary with my shiny purple cover a literally kissed it. "Don't ever do that again. Wow now I am talking to a book and to myself." Well that's normal.

I walked to the door this time, because I was more calm now. I walked out of the school just in time when I got out through the doors the lights want out. I walked home in silence the memories of the car crash did not one pop up in my head that time, I just thought of my mother. I got home and it was quiet, I guess my aunt is still at work.

I sat down on my bed. I looked at the diary sitting on my dresser and took it in my hands. This diary kept all the memories of my mother. I remember that I use to write every night in it of what my mother and I did.

There was this one day we had a water fight with my old water guns. That day she threw a whole bucket of water on my head, but it was fun. It seemed weird for a grown women to be having a water fight. But all she wanted to do was put a smile on my face. But she did that everyday by just smiling at me. It made me happy to see her happy.

I looked at the picture of when she was wet and I had I towel around my shoulders

"I miss you mom"  I whisper still looking at the photo
