| Slipping Away Chapter 5 �Zoe! Zoe it�s me!� Jesse said pounding on the door of her dorm room. �You�ll be lucky if she answers!� Danielle said bluntly passing him. Jesse just looked at her and turned his attention back to getting Zoe�s attention. �Zoe!� Jesse shouted. �Jesse?� she asked opening the door, wrapped in an orange comforter and almost all the color drawn out of her face. �Zoe!� Jesse said pushing his way in and shutting the door. �Is Molly here?� he asked her. �No she�s downstairs doing her laundry!� Zoe said falling down onto her bed, feeling weak with a pounding head ach. �Next week, please, come to Hawaii with me and my family! We have always talked about this, and now we can do it!� Jesse said happily. �I�d love to! But I don�t have much money, you know that!� She said laying down. �Zoe my parents will pay for everything!� Jesse pleaded. �I will have to get back to you!� she answered getting up and walking to the bathroom, Jesse following close behind. She opened the mirror in the bathroom and pulled out the same bottle of Prozac which had been full a week ago. She opened it, trying to spill some into her shaking hand, but nothing came out. �Damn it!� she cried angrily. Jesse grabbed the bottle from her small hands reading the label. �Zoe, what are you doing with these?� Jesse asked shocked, she had seemed so happy, but really, she hid so much form him. �Zoe answer me!� he shouted at her, both of them lost in a world unknown to both of them, hate, confusion, something neither of them knew well at all. �Zoe? Are you ok in here?� Molly asked walking in, she walked to the bathroom seeing Jesse there. She was crying crotched down on the floor, her bouncy girls, hung low and flat with sweat and sorrow. Jesse stood by her, he on the verge of tears spilling out of his eyes, like sun spilled over the hill side early in the morning. �What�s going on?� Molly asked. �Nothing!� Zoe said, sobs breaking apart the word. �Are you sure?� Molly asked confused. �I said Nothing!� Zoe shouted at her friend getting up and wading acrossed the room to her bed. �Zoe, I should get you to the doctor�s!� Molly said. �NO this is on and off, I will be fine in a day or so!� Zoe answered coughing continuously. ===== �Pack your things quickly! You have like an hour until Jess shows up!� Molly said looking at her watch. �Okay all done!� Zoe said shutting her suitcase, she was back to her normal self, for now at least. Her cell phone began to vibrate on her hip. �Hello?� she answered. �Hey Jess, yeah I�m ready! Okay meet you out there!� Zoe said. �Okay see you later Molly, I will be back Sunday night!� she said, it was early Saturday morning. She pushed her way through all the girls waiting in lines for showers. She opened one of the doors in the front, and Jesse was standing there, just as the sun was rising. �Hey Jess� she said smiling. �Hey Zoe!� he said taking her bags form her. ===== �I hate flying!� Zoe stated looking out the window of the plane. �Do you want me to take the window seat?� Jesse offered. �Thanks Jess� she said getting up and changing seats with him. �It�s no big deal, I fly all the time!� Jesse said. �Yeah, you do!� Zoe said rolling her eyes. ===== �Here�s the key to your kids room! We�ll see you in a bit?!� Mrs. McCartney said. �Yes you will!� Zoe smiled taking the key and leading Jesse to their room. She found the door and stuck the key in twisting it violently. �Here we are!� she said opening the door. �Wow, it�s huge!� Jesse said stepping in. �Your telling me! I�ve been sleeping in that dumpy dorm for the past 6 months!� Zoe smiled happily. �I know your going to make it through this!� Jesse said taking Zoe�s arm. �Jesse, just, just don�t get your hopes up and stuff!� Zoe said. �To many people love you, that would hurt so many people, like a world devastation! You can�t die!� he said. �Jesse I�d prefer it if we didn�t talk about that!� she said looking him in the eyes. �Okay!� Jesse nodded throwing his bag onto the first bed. |
