Catch Me

Ch. 29

"Ok so what's the final plan? Am I going to have to pick her up or can her mom or dad take her?" Demi asks.

"You'll have to pick her up then take us to the arcade." I say.

"Ok, what time?" She asks.

I look down at my phone to see a text from Zoey.

Zoey: Is now ok? My parents are fighting again and I just really want to get out and not hear it.

"Can we pick her up now?" I ask.

"We can, I thought we weren't supposed to pick her up for another two hours though." She says.

"Her parents are fighting and she doesn't want to hear it." I explain.

"Alright ask her to send her address and we'll go to her house to pick her up. Also ask what time she needs to be home." She says.

Coraly: Yeah that's fine, can we have the address? Also what time do you need to be home?

Zoey: I'm not home, I'm at the park. I got tired of listening and left. But obviously it's cold and shit. As for what time I need to be home I'm not gonna go home. I'll just tell them I'm at a friends house and I'll figure out which friend to stay at.

"She's at the park right now. She said she wants to just stay at a friends house because she doesn't want to listen to her parents fight."

"Well did she ask her parents if she can hang out with you? I don't want her to get in trouble." Demi says.

"Yes her mom was in the room and I heard her ask her mom and her mom said it was fine." I say.

"I trust you two won't do anything so if she wants to stay here after the arcade I can take you two out to eat and we'll come back home." She says.

Coraly: Demi said you can stay with us if you want tonight.

Zoey: you sure?

Coraly: stfu yes 😂

Zoey: Aight sounds like a plan to me then.

Coraly: Send me your location so I know which park your at

Zoey: k

"She seems like she's in a bad mood." I say.

"I'm sure hearing her parents fight is hard and depending on what's being said or what they are fighting about it could've upset her. Once you two hang out she'll be distracted and not thinking about her parents and she'll cheer up." Demi says.

I watch Demi grab her car keys and I follow her to the garage and and get in the backseat. I get buckled up and pass Demi my phone since it has Zoey's location on it.

"Ok when we get there I'll let you go out and meet her because I'd be pretty uncomfortable getting into someone car I don't know on my own without my friend." She says.

"Okie."

The drive for me was kinda nerve wracking because I don't if Zoey's in a bad mood or sad and I really didn't want this to be a day of either one of us being sad. It was supposed to be a good day for both of us.

"Alright go get her." Demi says.

I take my phone back from her before getting out of her car and working to the picnic table Zoey's at. Since she doesn't see me I stand behind her for a few moments before putting my hands on her shoulder.

She quickly turns to me after she jumps and slaps me playfully, "Not funny."

I giggle, "It kinda was."
