My Fragile Heart by Selena & Samara (fb2 epub reader .TXT) 📕

/> "I thought you love that class" said Mom
"No I didn't. Who told you that?"
"You did. While I was picking ya'll classes for school, you sent me an email asking me to put you in Drama."
"No I..." I stop for a moment and look at Lily. She blushed. "Of course you going to do it."
"Sorry. You was doing so well in that class. I also wanted to see you suffer." Lily said

I growled.

"Adrian. Don't you dare." said Dad. He came down stairs. Lily went running to Dad.
"Daddy, Adrian kicked me out of his car. I had to walk all the way home." Lily whined. Lily is Daddy's little girl. I rolled my eyes as Lily hugged Dad. Dad have black hair and green eyes. I got my good looks from my Dad.

"Why you kicked Lily out the car?" Dad said.
"She keep messing with me, so I decided to kick her out." I said
"Just because he have a crush on this human girl." Lily blurted out.
"No I don't" I said
"Adrian, what are you doing?" Dad said
"Nothing Dad."
"I hope its nothing because you are starting to turn more and more like your uncle."
"I won't hurt her."
"Of course you won't because you have a crush on her." Lily tried to whisper.
"That's it." I said. My fangs ready and I pounced towards Lily. Before I reached her, Dad grabbed me by my shirt and pushed me against the wall.
"I think you need to calm down. Go to your room." I looked at Lily with hatred before I went upstairs to my room. I shut my door and sat down on my bed. I tried to calm down. Dad is so annoying. He is always on Lily side. He always compare me to my Uncle Damien, even when I'm no where near like him. I do not have a crush on Zoey. But somehow, I can't get her out my mind. I can still remember the moment I had with Zoey in the hallway, when she almost fell. I still remember her, but I wonder if she remember me. I just have many things on my mind. Maybe I need to get some fresh air. It will probably clear my mind. So I open my window and jump out. Without turning back, I start running.

Zoey

I finally make it to the house, and parked my motorcycle in the garage. I took off my helmet and went to the front door. I took out the house key out my pocket. When I unlocked the door and opened it, people popped out of no where.

"Surprise!" The people yelled. I am so mad. I walked into the house.
"Brian!" I yelled. Brian came out of the kitchen.
"Hey Zoey. I know you said you didn't want a birthday party, but..." Brian said
"I told you I don't want a party and you know why. You know today is also the anniversary of my father's death. You just want to make my life difficult." Mitchelle walked out the kitchen.
"Don't talk to Brian like that. He was only doing you a favor" she said
"Doing me a favor. He ruined my life. I have to go." I ran out of the house. I heard Brian call me, but I ignored him and kept walking.

It was so cold outside that I pulled my jacket around me tightly. I hate today. First, I had to deal with the new jerk in the school. Now, Brian have planned a party for me on the worst day of my life; my birthday and my father's death. Just as I was thinking this, I looked up. I am now standing in front of my house. The house I had to leave. I walked up the walkway to the house. The house still looks the same. Ever since I moved out, no one have moved in. There is so many memories here. I remember when I was a little girl, my father and I used to play in this yard. Since my Mom died when I was little, my Dad was the one who took care of me. I walked to the back of the house. Behind the house was the woods, the same woods I saw my father get killed in. I felt tears starting to come, but I held them in. If Dad didn't go check out the woods, he wouldn't have been vampire dinner. I wish I was killed too so I wouldn't have to deal with this pain. I could have too, if that other vampire haven't stopped him. The year my father died and Brian adopted me, Brian start taking me to therapy, thinking that it would help me with my problems. The thing was that there was no progress so he took me out. I walked into the woods. Brian is probably wondering where I am. Once I get home, he will probably give me this punishment, but I don't care. I get back to reality and found myself standing in the same exact spot my Dad body was. That was it. I broke down and start crying. I feel so upset. I know I'm supposed to be happy because its my birthday, but I'm not. How can I be happy on the day my father died. I sat down on the grass. I brought my knees to my chest and start rocking like a 5 year old. Why couldn't I be the one to die? I start hearing ruffle of leaves. My head shot up real fast. Someone else is here. I got up and wiped my tears.

"Who's there?" I said. I saw a dark figure come from behind a tree. The figure start coming closer. I start backing up, until I backed up into a tree. Once the figure comes closer into the moonlight, then I saw it was Adrian.

"Zoey? What the hell are you doing here?" he said.
"What are you talking about? I live in this neighborhood. What are you doing here?" I said
"I'm just taking a walk."
"In the woods?"
"Yeah. What you doing here?"
"The same thing." Adrian got closer and start studying my face as if he was looking for something
"There is something wrong with you. I can tell."
"Nothing is wrong with me."
"Then why it look like you were crying?"
I sighed with frustration. Adrian is starting to get on my nerves.
"I'm just having problems."
"They can't be that bad."
"You just don't understand. You probably have your whole family; your mother and father. I don't. My mother died when I was 3 and my father was killed when I was 8; in this woods, on this exact spot. Now I have no one and its my 17th birthday and my adopted parents gave me a surprise birthday party, even when I told them not to!!" The more I talked, the louder and angrier I got.
"Okay Zoey. Calm down." Adrian grabbed me by my shoulders. I felt my face, and it was wet. I just realize I was crying. I stared into Adrian eyes and he held my gaze.

"Your eyes. They look so familiar." I said. My heart start speeding up. It's happening again. Adrian start leaning his head down to kiss me. We almost kissed, but I froze when I heard Brian calling my name.
"Zoey?" Brian called. I turned from Adrian to where I hear Brian's voice.
"I'm here." I turned back around and Adrian was gone. How did he leave so quickly. Brian comes from behind a tree and hugged me.
"How did you find me?" I said
"I knew you wouldn't be that far, so Mitchelle, Michael, and I split up looking for you. I chose to look here since today is also the day your father died. Then I start hearing people talking. Who were you talking to." I start thinking about Adrian.
"No one. I was just talking to my myself."
"Well, I'm sorry that I upset you by giving you a party, even though you ask me not to. I just wanted to at least give you one party."
"It's okay, Brian."
"Don't you want to go back to the house? It is chilly outside.'
"Yeah. I'm coming." Brian start walking. I looked back behind me, then I walked on to the house.

By the time we got in the house, Mitchelle came sown the stairs.
"Where have you been young lady. You have us worrying about you, wondering if you are alright." Mitchelle said. Brian walked over to Mitchelle.
"Mitchelle, calm down. The only thing that matters is that Zoey is home safe." Brian said
"Don't let her off the hook. She still disrespected you in your own house, even when you did something nice for her." Mitchelle is starting to get on my nerves.
"She was just having a bad day. She did ask us not to give her a party. Also, today is also the day her father died. It was just very hard on her. Let's not discuss this anymore." Now I'm starting to get frustrated.
"Well, I'm going to my room." I said. Brian turned to me.
"Don't you want to eat?" Brian said
"No. I'm not hungry." I walked up the stairs. Before I went to my room, I stopped and turned around. Michael was standing at the opening of his room. Now I have to deal with him.

"Little miss Zoey is getting in a lot of trouble." Michael said
"Shut up, Michael." I snarled at him. I walked into the room and shut the door. I took off my clothes and put on my night clothes. I went to my bed and lay down. This was a long day. I am exhausted. My mind keep going to Adrian. I'm trying to figure out where I recognized Adrian from. Also, what was that feeling I felt when I'm near him. I'm too exhausted to think about it. My eyelids were getting heavy. Next thing I know, I fell asleep.

Adrian

I finally get back home. I climbed to my bedroom window. When I was inside my room, I looked up and see Dad frowning at me. I smiled.
"Hey Dad."
