ASSHOLE
___________________________________

Zoe woke up alone on Jesse's couch, she yawned as she sat up. Her head was pounding and she was starting regret how much she drank. Zoe hoped that she hadn't done anything embarrassing last night, especially with Billy around.

Zoe glanced around the room and noticed that Katherine was asleep on the other couch. Zoe smiled remembering the friends she had made last night.

She left the room to try and found the bathroom. Jesse's house was small but cute, it was obvious that a woman had decorated the place. Zoe didn't know much about Jesse, but she knew that he wouldn't of put this much effort into decorating a house.

Zoe found the bathroom and she quickly slid into the room and shut the door, only to find Lindsey passed out by the toilet. Zoe screwed up her face as the stench on puke filled her nose.

Zoe bent down next to the girl and gently shook her shoulders. "Lindsey," she called, shaking her once again. "Wake up," Zoe whispered.

Lindsey began to stir in her sleep until her eyes slowly opened, she blinked up at Zoe and gave her a small smile. "Morning," Lindsey said.

"Morning... you fell asleep by the toilet," Zoe said. "Do you want me to help you to the couch?" she asked.

Lindsey yawned and gave her a small nod as she glanced around the room. Zoe nodded and helped the girl up and out of the bathroom to the couch. Lindsey laid down and within seconds she was asleep again. Zoe made sure to throw a blanket over the girl before she headed back to the bathroom to do her business.

Zoe looked at herself in the mirror, she looked like a mess. Zoe quickly washed her face, trying her best to remove the mascara from her cheeks. Zoe left the room to try and find Billy, he was her ride home and she wanted to leave.

Zoe looked everywhere and couldn't find him. She decided to head outside and look inside his car, but when she opened the front door she realised that his car wasn't there.

Zoe pursed her lips, Billy had left her there. Zoe was pissed, she headed back inside and slipped her feet into her shoes. The brunette girl left the house, she wanted to slam the door but she didn't because people were sleeping inside and after last night they all needed a good sleep.



Billy had left for home, if he was being honest he didn't want to wake Zoe. She needed a good night sleep and she was finally getting just that, but he also had to go home or his dad would have his head. So Billy left Zoe there and headed back to his home, he left her a note on the floor near the couch and hoped that she read it so she wasn't confused as to why he had left.

Billy knew that she hadn't read the letter the second he saw her angry face standing on the other side of his front door, her shoes in her hands and her lips pursed.

"Good morning," Billy said, swallowing once the girl didn't reply.

Zoe waited a few seconds before speaking. "Can I come in?" she asked. Billy sighed and closed the door, he grabbed her hand and led her over to the seat on the porch.

"Dad's home, we can talk out here," Billy said. He was in trouble and he hoped that she'd let him explain.

"I'm sure you know why i'm here and before you say anything I just want to let you know that you are an asshole," Zoe began. Billy nodded, giving her a small smile. "You were my ride home and you ditched me with a group of people I met last night, who are really nice by the way, but that's besides the point!" Zoe glared at him, anger completely taking over her.

"Listen, I left a note by the couch for you to read, obviously you didn't see it," Billy said, shaking his head. Zoe rolled her eyes. "I didn't want to wake you, you looked to peaceful. I was going to come back and get you at 10am, I just had to get home because my dad would of killed him if he realised I didn't come home last night," Billy explained.

Zoe's anger began to fade away, she believed him and gave him a smile. "Sorry for getting mad, I truly thought you just left me there," Zoe said, shrugging at him.

"It's fine," Billy replied. Zoe smiled and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek.

"I should go home," Zoe said, standing up once she slid her blistered up feet into her shoes. Zoe glances at Billy who was now standing.

"Let me drive you," Billy said. Zoe shook her head.

"I'm good to walk," Zoe replied, jumping off of his porch.

"You sure?" he asked, double checking with her. "It's not a problem," he said.

"I'm sure," Zoe smiled. "Thanks anyway," and with that Zoe left his house, walking away with a smile on her face.

Zoe couldn't wait to get home and fall asleep in her bed.



Zoe entered her house and heard laughs coming from the kitchen. There was more than one person at her house, Zoe grew confused at the sound. Robert didn't usually have friends over, he much preferred to go out with them rather than just sit at home.

Zoe headed into the kitchen, she was about to speak up and say hello to the guest, until she realised who it was. Zoe watched the scene unfold in front of her and she felt completely helpless when she saw Robert kiss Donna.

Zoe remained silent, neither of them knew she was home. Zoe pursed her lips and walked away from the scene, heading upstairs to her room where she could cry. The brunette girl was completely confused and many bad memories were beginning to flood back. The only thing that made sense to Zoe right about now was that Robert was an asshole and he better have a good excuse for his actions.
