Second Chance at Love

Present time

Zoey starts crying thinking back to that day it had been the hardest thing to bury her parents and little sister the police had nothing and as of a month ago they closed the case saying it was a accident but zoey knows better they weren’t there and they didn’t listen when she said that they had done it on purpose but no one listen.

So here she was..in this run down apartment building trying to get threw college and leave this town and never look back.

Zoey stands up and walks to her little kitchen table and sits back down to finish her essay her professor had given her a extra two days to finish it due to the funeral service she had a week ago.

As Zoey starts finishing up her essay she glances down to her phone as a notification pops up..

Andrea: GIRL!! Get your butt over here I have SOME NEWSSSSS!!

Zoey: Hang on!! I’m about finished with my essay let me send it off and I’ll be right over.

Zoey rolls her eyes. Andrea and always been this way and probably always will. Zoey feels saddened at the thought of leaving her best friend but she knows it was for the better.

Ding..Ding..

Zoey looks beck down after sending her essay off to her professor.

Andrea: HURRY will you!

Zoey: I’m coming girl hold your horses!

Andrea: Holding my horses now get your butt over here!

Zoey laughs at that last message and quickly turns her laptop off and get her shoes on and grabs her purse keys and phone walking to the front door of her little apartment she turns the lights of and walks into the hallway turning around to lock her door.

As Zoey walks to the elevator she notices that the door leading to the stairs is slightly open which was weird because Andy the apartment building manager also made sure those doors stayed closed. He has really back OCD and he was always walking around closing those doors.

Zoey instantly pushed the button to call the elevator and put her hand inside her purse where she carried her mace. Ding!

The elevator doors opened and Zoey quickly walked in and pushed the closed button to make the doors close followed by pushing the lobby button.

Zoey breathed a sigh of relief and messaged Andrea that she was on her way.

Ding!

The elevator doors opened up to the lobby if you could call it that. You could tell this place needed some good TLC even though Andy kept it clean the place had cracks in the walls and floors the front desk was old and needed to be replaced and the mailboxes never stayed closed.

Zoey walks out and starts to walk across the street looking both ways to make sure no cars were coming.

Zoey walks up Andreas apartment building and waits for Andrea’s to buss her in.

Once Andrea busses her in Zoey opens the door and quickly walks in and shut the door. You can never be too careful in this neighborhood.

Zoey walks over the elevator and goes up to the third floor as she walks to Andrea’s apartment she can hear Andrea singing very loudly and off key. Zoey smiles and goes to knock on the door.

Andrea opens the door “About time you got here! Andrea pulls Zoey inside and shuts the door locking it. “I need help which outfit screams I want you to marry me? Andrea says as she points to the five outfits she has laid out on her couch.

Zoey looks at Andrea “This is what was so important that I had to come over here for!”Zoey lifts her left eyebrow

“Well yes Zoe it is you know me and Nathen have been together for two years I love him and I want him to pop the question.” Andrea says “fine Andrea” Zoey sighs “ I like the the purple dress you have there it’s sexy but modest in a way that if he does pop the question it will be perfect for pictures” Zoey says as she walks over to the dress to pick it up

“THANK YOU THANK YOU ZOE” Andrea says while running over and grabbing the dress and going to change into it. “ what about my hair Zoe should I leave it down or put it in a bun?” “LEAVE IT DOWN AND CURL IT” Zoey shouts out as she moves the other outfits so she could sit down.

Three hours later..

Andrea walks out with her blonde hair curled her makeup done and wearing her dress. “It had taken three whole hours to get Andrea ready” Zoey thought to herself “ you look gorgeous Andrea!” Thank you Zoe for helping me I know it’s not really your thing and I appreciate you helping me” Andrea says and she walks over hugging her best friend.

“ no problem but now that you are all done I really need to get home and get some sleep I have classes tomorrow and work so I need my sleep” Zoey says as she grabs her things and walks to the door.
