There Is Still Hope

The Unexpected Fall

Sorry for the Delay! I will update this one as soon as I update the others and... yeah. The pic doesn't belong to me just so you know and the ONLY thing that belongs to me is Zita and Jensen. And if you recognize the guy in the pic, he's Tyler Hoechlin... celebrity crush... *blushing like crazy*. Besides that... I OWN NOTHING!!!!

Zita's POV

I knew that it would take a while.. but I never thought that it would take this long! Then again it took a year to complete the quest... but still! After a few weeks on the road we finally made it to a cliff that held quite a scenery if you ask me. When I was back at America, the only view I could get was street lights and suffocating air. After a while, we set up camp there and Thorin told Fili and Kili to take watch. I was envious of the brothers, at least they had a father figure that made a good impact on them. As far as I know. Right when I was going to put my bag near the fire, Thorin grabbed my arm and dragged me to one of furthest points of the camp.

"I don't know why you agreed to coming on this quest, but you are worth nothing to any of us. You are nothing!", he spoke in a hushed whisper, before pushing me away from him like the filth he thinks I am. Like the filth I know I am. He stormed off and left me by the tree, leaving me in a pissed off state.

"Tell me something I don't know Princess Bitch," I growled as I threw my stuff down next to the nearest tree, which turned out to be the furthest tree from the fire. As I felt eyes begin to get blurry, I immediately blinked it away so I wouldn't seem weak. I rummaged through the items within the backpack, looking for a specific object.

After a couple of seconds, I finally found it. Jensen's photo. I smiled as I rubbed my thumb against the edge of the picture, worn from the times it has been crushed under my bag. It got to the point where I just got duct-tape and made a frame from it like one of my friends did in high school.

I laughed at the memory of when I pranked him as revenge for getting me pranked on "accident" on first day of college. For the revenge part, he fell asleep in one of my many classes I had with him and he was snoring his a** off.

So I decided to give him a make over. I grabbed my friend, Liz's, makeup and put some on Jensen. The mascara, the lipstick, foundation, etc... it was the best prank ever. Especially since I suck. Cause when the bell rang, he jolted out of his seat and made a squeaking sound, making the teacher and the other classmates laugh at him like crazy. Well, not exactly the teacher, but he did snicker.

He just assumed that it was the noise, but... it was both the make up and the squeak. It took him the whole day to find out since it was raining. That was the most hilarious prank I've done in a while. It was actually how we became friends and... how I fell for him.

I felt a presence next to me and looked to see who it was. It was Fili. I quickly hid the picture and looked up at him since he was standing. I could tell I was blushing real bad, "U-Umm, hey Fili.". Fili chuckled and nodded his head, sitting on my right.

He noticed I was hiding something and asked the million-dollar question, "What's that?". Damn it. He noticed. I cleared my throat and said, "Um.. remember when I told you guys about my friend?". He hesitantly nodded his head, remembering who I was talking about. I continued, "Well, this is him and he's actually my fiance.".

I could tell he was shocked by the word fiance since he exclaimed, "You have a fiance?!". My face went even darker from his state of surprise as I stuttered, "Y-Yeah. Didn't you see the ring?". I shouldn't have asked that question since he decided to push the subject further.

"What ring?!". Is it just me or is Fili freaking out a little too much? But since I didn't want to leave his question unanswered, I simply raised my left hand for him to see. After a couple seconds, I put my hand down and examined the ring. The fire reflected off the surface of ring as I began to rub the silver surface, occasionally rubbing the sapphire in the center.
