An: This is part two of my last chapter I made it a two-part because the chapter was getting too long and difficult to write.
"Okay okay no need to get pushy" Steve walked up to the gates and took out the keys. His family owned the cemetery. Many people liked to call his family cursed but it was Steve he never exactly cared what others said. He is a down to earth type of person. He takes barely any offence to anything. Inserting the key into the gates lock and turned the key unlocking the door. Zoey ran out straight away and hugged Steve "Thanks..." she was really tired from all the struggling and crying. "You're welcome" He hugged her back trying to calm her down.
"That took you a while" Lucia groaned.
"Not even a thank you" Steve just rolled his eyes this was very normal to them.
"It's not my fault you took such a long time" Lucia was pretty much yelling at him and Zoey just hid her face in his chest. She was short compared to him he was 6'ft2 and she was only 5'ft1.
"Will you two stop yelling and arguing with each other I found something interesting" Jane and Natasha walked over to where Charlie was standing. The message changed. "What does it say now""Let me see" Jane and Charlie were now white with fear. "W-whats wrong you two?" asked Zoey now making her way towards them. "It says one of you is next" All of them paled. "You're kidding right?" Zoey stopped waking
"I wish I was..." Charlie pointed to the information table. There is was in blood red. 'One of You is Next'.
"What does it mean by that though?" Charlie was slowly backing away from it.
"I'm not sure but it can't be good" Natasha was shaking a bit.
"We should get back home... I think we had enough excitement for a day"
"Yeah, good point Jane" Lucia was whispering by that point.
"Let's head back then," Zoey said letting out a long sigh, "I think I had a bit too much excitement for one day"
After a few minutes of them gaining their balance, they walked back to their houses. None of them muttered a word as all of them were too tired to speak. Steve decided to take Zoey back himself as when was still slightly shaken after the whole getting-thrown-over-the-fence ordeal. She was against it at first but then gave in. They said goodbye to the rest and left for her house. (Lucy was smirking proudly). They walked side by side and Steve decided to make her laugh by saying "Silence 100". Zoey just looked at him and laughed it was the first time she laughed ever since she found out about her dad. The journey after that wasn't quiet at all they were laughing at every small thing and made jokes the entire way.
A few minutes later, they were at Zoey's house. Zoey was breathless from laughing so much, she felt truly happy at that very moment. "Thank you for that I really needed to laugh a bit after everything that happened"
"You don't need to thank me" He smiled at her. She jumped up and kissed his cheek. "I better get going before I give my mum a heart attack" She skipped back to the door and opened it quietly she then quickly turned around and gave Steve a small smile and a wave before she disappeared behind the doors. "So you were with Steve," Zia said smugly from upstairs
"Shut up Zia, he kinda needed to save me"
"Awww he's your knight in shining armour"
"I hate you..." Zoey mumbled before kicking off her shoes and going upstairs. She jumped into her bed and went to sleep for the next few hours. Well, that sure was something to thought to herself before she dozed off.
AN: Sorry for the short chapter I kinda lacked inspiration for a while but I managed to pull myself together but anyways yeah I hoped you enjoyed this chapter!
