She ran as fast as she could not looking back to see a heart broken Geoffrey that would never be the same. She just kept running, she wanted tell Cleden the great news. She finally stopped when she got to the clearing in the woods where she and Geoffrey parked when he told her to meet him at the woods that they always went to. She didn't even feel bad about leaving him all alone with a wedding ring that was probably worth thousands of dollars. She tredged on finally climbing into her car and speeding away.

She knew the way to Cleden's house by heart now. She had been there many times over the past 5 months. As Zoe drove off on the familiar path she started to think of all the days they spent together, laughing the days away and talking for hours. There were many times that she had even spent the night at his house after they had talked all day. She felt like she could tell him anything and he could tell her all of his secrets. She realized how in love with this boy she really was. She loved everything about him. His shoulder length luscious, light brown hair, his beautifully entrancing brown eyes , and the way they would lock with hers every time they talked. It seemed as though when he looked at her he never wanted to look at anyone else and wanted to stare into her brown eyes all day. And she absolutely love the way he would light up when she walked in the room, and how if she wasn't doing something with him he didn't want to do it with anyone else, and how--

"SCREEEEEEEECH" her tires swerved all over the road as she tried to avoid a black cat on the road.

--" dumb cat" she yelled out the car at the small black creature who was now scurrying out of the way.

'Oh, I'm already here' she thought and pulled into the driveway of Cleden's house. He lived by himself in a small one story house. Zoe saw his blue motercycle parked in his garage that he always kept open. Just like Zoe had always done she got out of her car and walked around to the back of his house where his bedroom window was. It was a full length window and Zoe could see inside his bedroom clearly since he had no blinds.

Cleden was sitting on his blue, king size bed that Zoe had great memories of laying on seeing Cleden next to her. Cleden was reading a book like always which Zoe never understood. She hated reading. Like every other time she had come to his house she knocked on the glass and pointed to the front door, letting him know to let her in.

He looked up from his book confused and then immediately smiled when he saw Zoe. He started to leave his room to go let her in the house and Zoe followed. She walked back around to the front crawling through bushes to get to the door. He opens the door and move out of the way so Zoe could come in bowing as he did like some kind of butler or simething

-- " come on in m'lady." He said in that voice that made Zoe's heart melt. Another one of the many things Zoe just adored about him.

--" why do you always look so confused when you hear me knock on your window?" Zoe questioned him in her mischievous tone. "It's always me." She looked at him and raised an eyebrow in question.

-- "you never know, it could be a bird ...or...aliens" he said whispering the last part. It was silly but it always made Zoe laugh and she loved laughing with him. And he loved making her laugh, he did silly stuff like that all the time.

--" so, what do you wanna do?" He said

--" I might have an idea" she replied, mischievous again
