Misery Business

Derrick Jernigan; The Boyfriend


Zoey Davis; The Girlfriend


Emily Faschear; The Best Friend

Waking up was not pleasant in the least for Zoey Davis. A groan escaped her pink lips as she soon felt the bruises from the day before hand. Her boyfriend had gotten angry at her for something and had taken the liberty of taking it out of her. Sighing, she stood up, getting out of bed to inspect the damage this time. He took great care to mainly avoid her face, but sometimes he forgot, or simply didn't care, and strike her on her cheek. Yesterday had been one of those rare instances and because of it, she now had a bruise on her right cheek. Sighing, Zoey knew today would be a day with foundation. She shrugged before frowning at the bruises coming up on on her stomach and collar bone. She got her make up before starting to layer it on her face and finish up her face makeup before spreading it onto her collar bone where a blue bruise was starting to surface, the color of the bruise especially pigmented today. She managed to hide it and smiled gently in the mirror at herself, telling herself he would fix it soon and everything would be better. She got dressed in a cute dress along with fishnet tights and a pair of her black flats. Smiling at her reflection, she heard her phone buzz and grinned before texting her best friend, Emily, Hey Em! What's the plan for today? She shook her head at herself before humming as she grabbed her backpack and an apple and headed towards school.

Zoey wondered if Derrick was in a better mood today, she hoped so. She knew better than to text him right now because she was sure he was driving towards school. Normally, he met her there and they would walk towards the breakfast area or something. She stretched gently biting down on her lip gently before biting into her apple. Once she was done with the apple, she tossed the apple core into the grass knowing it would disentegrate from the fact that it was biodegradable. She hadn't done much to her hair today so it wasn't curled, wasn't straighteneed, it was just in it's natural state. She was content to keep her hair like this because she didn't feel like getting all dressed up for school. When she was in the hallway, Zoey made her way towards her locker before opening it to get her books out and into her backpack. She sighed seeing her English book and rolled her eyes. The only subject that Zoey liked was art. She didn't appreciate her english class, and hated science and math and History bored her which she didn't quite like much in a subject. She normally fell asleep in class, which didn't bother her either. She didn't care much about school, and her parents didn't care much about her so it was a win win situation.

Emily had spent the night at her apartment, zoey said she was busy with Derrick so they couldn't hang out together. Emily hated him. She didn't even have a true reason why, but she hated him. She got bad vibes from him, and knew he was just bad business for her best friend. Emily also had no problem voicing this opinion to zoey, with or without him around. She woke up from her alarm clock and shut it off before getting up. She had a very small apartment, but she had school and could only work a minimum wage job, she couldn't afford anything else. Emily had been kicked out by her family when she was 15, and living on her own since 16. Just because she was gay. She didn't have a lot at her apartment. So she usually elected to hanging out at Zoey's and if Derrick was there, they never even came near her house. She knew he would insult her using her poor status. Coming from a big rich family and all. Emily only had a bed, dresser, a love seat, a tiny tv, a mini fridge, and a lamp for her basic necessities. She was working on getting more, but rent and food were her priority. She never let anyone else know about this, except for Zoey. It was senior year. So she had to start looking for better jobs, she couldn't afford college. But she had skills, and was sure she would find a better job to make her life easier. Emily decided to go for the school's free breakfast as she began her ride to school. The one thing she indulged in was getting herself a motorcycle. It was a badass Harley and she drove it every day. Before hopping on she smiled at Zoey's text. Ill see you at lunch. But remember we have plans tonight, dinner me and you, at the diner. We haven't had alone time in so long. Emily sent. Emily grabbed her back pack and put I thought on before hoppin on the motorcycle and going to school. She parked in the back, like usual, and grabbed breakfast before going to her first class of the day. Emily just wanted to see her best friend.

Derrick woke up groggily for school, as he showered and got ready he once again remembered that he and zoey had fought the night before and it led to him losing his cool. He felt bad. But he would apologize at school. Derrick's family was very well off, so he could just get her a gift or something. He decided to leave for school early so he could. He got dressed in his typical shorts and polo shirt. He stopped at a florists and got zoey a few red and white roses. When he arrived he saw zoey in the hall and flashed her his perfectly white grin, holding out the roses. "Hey babe, I love you." He commented and kissed her forehead. Derrick never worried about other guys hitting on zoey or anything like that. They had been together for nine months now, and everyone knew she was his. He was very possessive. She was his, plain and simple. The only one who stood in his way was Emily. Her best friend. He hated that bitch. She talked so bad about him to zoey and he hated it, and her. Derrick walked Emily to her class before going to his own. The three of them always sat together at lunch. So he just waited for that.

Zoey hummed checking her phone as she felt the vibration in her hand she smiled. Yes ma'am. If Derrick asks I'll say I'm hanging with you, tonight.She clicked send and smiled before running a hand throughout her purple and pink ombred hair. She had had her hair like this for years and it never got old to her she enjoyed her hair and refused to change it because someone wanted her to. Blinking when she saw Derrick she saw the roses and smiled before laughing taking them. "Hey, I love you too. Thank you." She told him as she kissed his cheek gently, hugging him and smiled nuzzling him for a moment before putting her flowers in her bag not wanting to put them in her locker at all. That was boring plus she liked showing off the fact that she had the cutest and sweetest boyfriend. She also knew this was his way of apologizing and she was actually okay with that. He refused to get help and that slightly bothered him. They both knew he needed anger management but he simply refused saying it would be embarrassing for him to get anger management. She didn't understand how to change his mind either. She sighed happily as her fingers intertwined with his as she was walked to first block. She smiled at him before going into her class and sitting down putting her flowers on her desk. She didn't care who saw she was just happy he was hers. She knew anyone was pretty much scared to try and ask her out which was fine with her. She didn't want anyone else. She just wanted to see her best friend now and today would be fucking amazing.

Emily was surprised slightly that Zoey would just tell Derrick off like that. But she would take it, not often did she get to see her best friend. She had also worked overtime for three weeks just to scrounge up enough money to be able to pay for their meals tonight. Emily sat in her first class, tracing a pencil up and down her arm along her sleeve tattoo. The one family member who didn't completely disown her was her uncle, and he owned a tattoo store. So his gifts to Emily, that wouldn't get him disowned, were free tattoos. She was nearly covered. All the way from her wrist to her shoulder was a sleeve. Her back was a giant red and pink dragon, her front was an intricately drawn eagle that shattered into a heart that went along her breasts. She was drawing out plans for her other arm and thighs soon. Emily went through her day, barely listening or doing anything, like usually,until it was noon time and lunch. She hurried to be the first one down, so she could be her lunch and sit besides Emily. Derrick hated when she did so she did it every day. Emily got the school lunch of lasagna, bread, fruit, and milk, and sat as she waited for zoey and Derrick.

Derrick didn't have a first class, just study hall, and then he had his coaching class so it was simple and fun for him. He was on the soccer and lacrosse teams at the school. When the bell rang for lunch Derrick decided to meet up with zoey down there. He entered the lunch line and grabbed a few things and headed over to the table. He saw Emily had taken the set besides where zoey always sat. He was glaring daggers at her from across the table. Heat pretty much radiated off the table because of the tension and anger coming form the two. Emily gave everything write back to him. She was a bad ass and he knew it. That's why he never started anything with her, she would fight him back. Derrick just glared until zoey came. He then flashed a stupid grin. "Hey /babe/ how are you?" He asked, purposely enunciating the pet name to piss off emily.

@ BadStreetBoys

Zoey never noticed the neverending rivalry from Emily and Derrick, she simply knew they didn't much prefer each other. As she went through her other classes, Zoey doodled on a sheet of paper, making intricate designs as she went. Once she was done, she looked up as the bell rang before going to her favorite class of the day. She went to her art class and began her painting on her canvas her teacher had scrounged up for her so she could enter the school's art show, and hopefully win. She had never been able to enter until this year because she could never get a canvas and an idea in her head. She painted the outline of her painting before sighing as she covered it hearing the bell rang. She hummed as she ran a hand throughout her gradiented hair. She made it into the lunch room before grabbing her lunch box and heading to their table already seeing Derrick and Emily there. She smiled at them. "Hey, hun." She told Derrick before kissing him on the cheek and sitting in her normal seat saying, "Hey, Em." She grinned at her hugging her before humming as she took her sandwich out of her lunch box and biting into it. She finished chewing before telling Derrick, "Emily wants to hang out tonight, and I've said yes, I'm sorry." She told him apologetically, unconsciously pulling at her shirt to hide the bruises on her wrists. Biting her lip, Zoey looked at him gently, hoping he wouldn't be angry with her later, even though she knew he would be. "See you after?" She asked him gently, touching his hand lightly. "I'll even ask my mom if I can spend the night." She offered him.

@ JesterOfGenocide;
Emily smiled as she saw her best friend, but once again glared daggers at Derrick, even more so as she kissed his cheek. Emily was very affectionate as a friend, for which she was grateful zoey didn't mind. She kissed her friends head when she got a hug, usually doing that because zoey was smaller than her, and whispered a simple hello to her. Emily was always very close to zoey, when she was with a group and zoey was there she was usually quiet but would talk directly to zoey and only her. When she was with zoey and her boyfriend she usually kept her voice quiet unless she was telling off the asshole. She ate silently before hearing zoey tell Derrick that they were hanging out, she smirked slightly, knowing she won for at least right now. But her eyes shifted to her best friend who noticed the slight change in zoey's behavior and frowned. Emily didn't know why, but she didn't like the fact zoey seemed scared of Derrick after telling him she wasn't going to be with him for a few hours. He irked her so much. She glared across at Derrick as he seemed to get angry. "Oh boo hoo, you can't be with her for a few hours, get over yourself." She eased.

Derrick snarled silently at Emily at she hugged and kissed zoey, he would kill her, he hated her, the fucking fag was going for his girlfriend. He heard zoey speak up and raised an eyebrow as he listened. She hadn't cleared this with him. So now he was mad, he hated her alone with Emily. He was positive she was going to try and steal her from him. He would be texting her constantly while they were together, but he would deal with her doing this tonight. "Fine." He snarled and glared when Emily began to talk. "Shut the fuck up, dyke, she is /my/ girlfriend, you know. Not yours." He countered angrily. He looked at zoey when he felt her hand on his and sighed nodding. "Fine, that sounds good, babe, I hope you can." He said, trying to be sweet and deceiving, knowing Emily hated it because he could be a jerk and immediately he sweet and that's why zoey was entrapped by him.

@ BadStreetBoys

Zoey smiled at her best friend hearing her say hello. Feeling her kiss her on the head, she gave her a grin knowing for a fact they had acted gay before to one another simply because Zoey hadn't wanted to go out with a dude before. Picking up her salad, Zoey began to eat small pieces of it blinking when Derrick seemed utterly pissed. Frowning, she looked down before sighing. Hearing Emily as well, she rolled her eyes hearing them going back and forth. "Oh give it a rest." She mumbled bitterly. "You both can't do this simple thing for me of trying to get along?" She asked. "He's my boyfriend and I love him and she's my best friend and I love her. I just wish they would get along." She said to no one in particular. Shaking her head, Zoey stood up before grabbing her stuff. "See you both later." She said before heading quickly away. She headed into a bathroom before falling onto her butt in a stall and putting her arms around her knees, pulling them to her chest. Soon tears were running down her face as she bit down on her lip hiding her face into her knees biting the fabric of her pants so no one would hear her sobbing. She just wished they could get along for two seconds. She sniffled wiping her nose with some toilet paper, wiping at her eyes as well. Zoey was determined to have a good rest of the day no matter what. She wasn't going to cry again. She suddenly burst into more tears feeling the sobs rack her body before she worked herself up so much she puked. She calmed herself down before fixing her makeup and her face and went out of the stall before going into the hallway.

@ JesterOfGenocide;
Emily looked at Zoey when he heard her scold them, frowning when she stormed off. Emily glared at Derrick and snarled. "This is your fault." She growled and stood up. "I hope you know, if I find out that you ever hurt my best friend. I will tear you to pieces. You don't deserve her, you can't buy real love." She growled. Emily stormed off and went towards the bathroom. She got there when she saw Zoey come out, she stepped in front of her before putting her arms around her best friend in a tight embrace. "Hey, I'm sorry, I love you. He said being a dick and you know it." She said and sighed. "Meet me at my locker so we can go straight to my place, then the diner." Emily told her before heading off to grab her stuff from the table and of to class.

Derrick glared as Zoey went off, she was going to get it tonight, he was pissed. When Emily told him off, he had half a mind to slap her. "You're just a fucking fag, she's straight. Stay away. I'll kill you and get away with it." He said, under his breath, knowing she would probably take it seriously, when he was serious. Derrick watched her walk off and grabbed his shit, storming off to class. He pulled out his phone and texted Zoey. You better text me the whole time. I do not trust her. his class started and he put his phone away. Soon the school day ended, and he headed to his locker to get his stuff, he would be waiting at his house for Zoey to come over, she better, he thought.

Emily finished class, and grabbed her cinch bag, strapping it to her back, she waited for zoey.

@ BadStreetBoys
Zoey sighed shaking her head the sobs wracking her body for the fact that she was so upset at the moment. They both loved her, how could they treat her like that, make her feel like she had to be on one's side more than the other. It just wasn't fair and she hated it and she couldn't help the fact that it upset her so fucking much. She snuffled blinking when she looked up and saw Emily right in front of her. "Hey." She mumbled hugging her back burying her face into her shoulder. "Maybe so, but you weren't acting any better towards him." She reminded her nodding once she heard her say that she had to meet her at her locker once they were done. "Alright." She told her. She went to her own class, blinking when she felt her phone vibrate in her hand. Looking down, Zoey unlocked her phone before reading the text message that popped up on her phone and nodded along to it before sighing for a moment. "Does it mean nothing, that I do trust her? She sent back to him, frowning for a moment before running a hand throughout her hair while sitting in class. She heard the bell ring from the last class and headed towards Emily's locker. Once there, she smiled and hugged her before starting to walk with her towards her car. Zoey looked at Emily giving her a gentle smile, making sure she kept her sleeves down over her upper arms so she wouldn't be able to see her bruises and so glad that Makeup was invented so she could keep her secret from others and to make sure no one else would know except for Derrick, and that was simply because he was the one who had done it.

@ JesterOfGenocide;
Emily sighed and nodded, she knew she had been a bitch, but the douchebag deserved it. She gave her friend a pat on the back and siappeared for her last class. When the final bell rang she was excited, she finally got to be alone with zoey. Emily felt her heart flutter and just sighed happily, she loved zoey so much. She was at her locker, putting books away, and slinging a bag on one shoulder when she heard her best friend approach. She walked out to the parking lot with Zoey. "Can we take my bike?" She asked, seeing Derrick heading to his car, knowing he was watching them. Now she had all the more reason to want to take the bike, because Zoey had to hug her for the entire ride. Emily went to the motorcycle with her, putting their bags into the smal, compartment before swinging her leg over, handing Zoey her helmet. "Hold on." She purred, knowing zoey knew the drill with her bike. Emily revved the engine a couple times, just for Derrick before looking at him, smirking, and driving off towards her apartment. She parked the bike in the driveway and hopped off, heading inside with zoey. She felt bad that her apartment was shitty and zoey deserved better. 'We, we uh don't have to stay here long, I just gotta get the money for dinner." She said, giving her friend a weak smile. Emily went off into her room, under her bed, she lifted up the small string that hid a box of her money and small prized possessions. She pocketed the cash and went back downstairs to see Zoey. "Ready?" She asked and put one hand on Zoey's hip, grinning playfully. "Zoe, you're so damn beautiful. I'm lucky to have you as a best friend." She said and went back out. "Wanna walk? It's nice out."

Derrick was so fucking angry. That bitch was trying to steal his girlfriend, and she didn't even care. He got done his last class and looked at Zoey's response, scoffing at it. She just wanted to be beaten tonight. Shut the fuck up. You know I'm right. You better be making this up to me tonight, put out. He sent back angrily. Derrick was heading to his car, when he heard the engine he looked over, snarling to himself as he saw Zoey hugging Emily. Derrick headed to his house, and upstairs into his room. He cleaned it up a bit because he assumed Zoey would be over. He also pulled out his bottle of lube and box of condoms and put it on his bedside table, just so Zoey knew she was his tonight.

@ BadStreetBoys
Zoey nodded feeling Emily pat her on the back, knowing it was supposed to bring her comfort, but it only ensured anxiety for what was going to happen to her later. She was sure she wasn't going to come to school tomorrow and fake being sick, just so the aches would be bearable. She made her way towards Emily before smiling at her. "That's fine, you know I don't care." She teased her with a small smile before nodding. She didn't notice Derrick, her attention was on Emily at the moment and how she was going to situate her backpack. She then knew she would just have to keep her backpack on her back as they rode towards Emily's apartment. Taking the helmet, Zoey put it on her head, fastening the strap so it was securely on her head. She wrapped her arms around Emily's waist a grin on her face, "Alright." Feeling them stop, she opened her eyes having enjoyed the feeling of the wind in her hair and on her face. She had buried her face into Emily's back at one point. She laughed once they were there, getting off and shaking her hair out for a moment. She smiled walking into her apartment and hummed to herself before blinking hearing Emily. "Em, you know it's okay. I like your apartment. It's you." She gave her a gentle smile before yawning before nodding knowing there was no way that Emily was going to let her pay for dinner even though she worked as a waitress. "Yeah!" SHe told her laughing when she felt her hand on her hip. "You're beautiful too, Em! Don't forget it and I'm glad you're my best friend." She told her nodding as they walked outside pulling her jacket closer to herself since it was a little chilly in the November air.

Zoey read Derrick's message before sighing and sending him a text, I love you. I'll see you at your place after. She then pocketed her phone knowing that it was going to be bad for her whenever she got done with her evening with Emily. She didn't care if Derrick didn't trust her, because she did trust her and that should've been enough, but no, if Derrick didn't do something then she shouldn't do it either. That was the only thing Zoey really disliked about Derrick, just the way he acted like he controlled her. She couldn't help it though, because when he was nice, he was great and it was amazing. Looking around, Zoey started to hum for a moment a small smile coming back to her face since she was with Emily.

@ JesterOfGenocide;
Emily smiled at Zoey. She just wish Zoey could see her the way she did. Then she would know she was too good for that piece of shit. But tonight was about them. She was going to forget him. Emily walked closely besides Zoey, looking around as they did. "Can you stay at my place for a little while after dinner?" She asked. Emily hoped she could say yes, but sighed slightly as she was sure derrick wouldn't let her, he was such a terrible person. Emily was terrified that Zoey was getting hurt in the relationship. But she didn't have proof, so she couldn't do anything right now. The only time the two friends fought was because of him. Emily walked in with Zoey and took a booth seat, they loved booths. She took a menu and started to look over it, sure she was really looking at the prices, simply because she would order the cheapest thing off the menu. She wanted Zoey to have anything she wanted, so she would save her money for her. "Get whatever you want." She said and smiled ulmat her friend. When the waitress came for their drinks Emily ordered a juice, it wasn't water, but it was the cheapest drink. If she ordered water zoey would know what she was doing.

Derrick was pissed. He angrily did his homework and went downstairs to use their home gym. When he calmed down a little, he finally texted zoey back. Love you too. Hope you're having fun. Can't wait to see you later :* He really did feel bad at times, and really did love her, but he had anger problems he couldn't control and didn't want help for. When he wasn't angry he was sweet and they were a normal couple. It was good for them when he was ale to get his anger out before he saw her.

@ BadStreetBoys
Zoey checked her phone and smiled seeing the response and knew he had gone to the gym. She was happy he released his anger before she ever got there. She knew he was trying and that meant the world to her. She looked up and sighed shaking her head, "I wish. Derrick hates me hanging around you. I practically told him to go fuck himself earlier just by telling him that I was going out with you." She told her. "I'm not gonna apologize, but I have to make it up to him." She told her with a nod. She gave her a smile running a hand throughout her hair. She sat in the booth with her and hummed swinging her feet gingerly as she sat. She heard her and smiled before looking at the menu. She ordered a water, not really wanting soda or juice or anything. "Sode makes me gassy." She laughed shaking her head before biting down on her lip wondering what she wanted. She figured that they would both share a shake and she just wanted a cheeseburger at the moment. She ordered a cheese burger and curly fries, before waiting for Emily to tell the waiter what she wanted. "We can split a milkshake like always right?" She asked her with a smile on her face. She held her hand happy to have this time to spend with her. She hummed listening to the band play. "Maybe when you find a girl, we can go on a double date?" She said just thinking out loud not wanting to seem as if she were implying anything. She then said, "Even if you don't I'm still going to hang with you because no one can keep us away from one another because you are my best friend, Em." She told her with a giant grin on her face, steadily pushing her cotton candy colored hair away from her face.

@ JesterOfGenocide;
Emily looked at her friends and sighed. She knew a relationship shouldn't be like that, they shouldn't be so angry about their partner hanging out with someone. But she wasn't starting a fight, it wasn't the time. She just gave a weak smile and nodded. Emily ordered her food quietly, looking across the table she nodded at Zoey's question, ordering them a shake with two straws as well. When Zoey took her hand Emily couldn't help but smile brightly across at her. She loved her best friend. She had to forget about that douchebag right now, it was just them. When Zoey mentioned something about a double date she scrunched up her nose, shaking her head. "You know I hate him." She said bitterly, biting her lip. Emily juts nodded with a smile at her next comment. "Same to you." She said, their arriving and Emily took her fork as she bang to eat her food. For a small town diner they had great food. She was excited for their milkshake. It was pretty much their thing, she would know things were strained between them if that tradition ever stopped.

Derrick started to make some dinner for himself, he made a little extra in case zoey was hungry, he figured she would be, considering her bets friend was dirt poor. He just shook his head thinking about them together. Zoey deserved a better friend.

@ BadStreetBoys
Zoey watched her friend wondering why she was so quiet. "What's the matter?" She asked her, a frown taking over her features, as she gently squeezed her hand wanting to make sure that everything was alright. She then ran a hand throughout her hair before seeing her smile and smiled back. "Good, there's that smile that I love to see on you." She told her a grin on her face. She watched her face scrunched up and couldn't help but laugh and said, "I know. Just would be nice if I could get you both to get along I suppose is why I even bother asking anymore." She knew it wasn't only Emily that didn't try. "Yay!" She cheered and let go of her hand so she could eat. She spoke to her inbetween bites of food. She knew that Emily worked hard and admired her for it. She just wished she would let her help, since she had a job and only spent her money basically on Emily and Derrick. She loved the food here. When it was finally time for the milkshake, she pulled out her straw and started to suck it down with Emily, before wiping some on her nose and giggling. She laughed seeing the look on her face.

@ JesterOfGenocide;
Emily nodded and gave her best friends hand a sqepueeze. "I know. I know. But I can't get along with a guy who blatantly calls me a dyke, you would know that Zoe, and makes fun of me for being poor. He pretty much starts it all." She said and continued to eat. After they were both done, Emily stacked their plates knowing how it felt as a waitress, she liked being nice to her servers. She grabbed her own straw, beginning to drink, grinning like a fool at her best friend. She bust out laughing as some got on her nose, which cause some of it to come out of her nose. Emily quickly grabbed a napkin and began to wipe of her face and blow her nose. "Wow that's attractive." She said and rolled her eyes. This was kinda crazy, but it was their friendship. "You need some too!" She giggled and handed some napkins to zoey. Emily took the tab and looked it over. She took her money from her pocket as she counted it out, and left the money for the bill and tip. She offered a hand to zoey as she helped her form the booth and began to walk back towards her house. "I'll give you a ride to your house." She said as they walked

@ BadStreetBoys
Zoey sighed nodding and said, "I know. Hey it's still better than it was last year. At least, I hope it is. I dunno I wish he would just behave. He acts like it's a bad thing to be gay and it's not and puhlease I love him, but god he needs to see that not everyone has money and a very good family." She told her giving her a smile. She helped stack the plates before putting them in a creative design that she just liked. She then grinned at her before stretching and beginning to suck down the milkshake. When it came out of her nose, she died laughing and was laughing so hard she started to cry. She laughed and got some napkins and helped clean the mess up. She smiled and then stood up and hummed walking with her, skipping a little simply because she was bored. "Can you drop me off at Derrick's? If not that's cool, I can walk." She told her looking over to look her in the eyes. She didn't want her to use her gas though since she needed it. She could walk.

@ JesterOfGenocide;
Emily smiled at her friend meekly as she talked about Derrick, when she wasn't looking she just shook her head. Emily wouldn't ever like this guy, no matter what, she hoped they broke up, if not she'd do something to get them to break up. After the whole milkshake incident she helped clean it up before they headed back to her apartment, Emily enjoyed walking with Zoey, it was calming for her. She sighed softly as she looked at her best friend, looking down at her feet she bit her lip. "Zoe, why do you do this to me?" She asked and looked up with ad eyes. Emily shook her head again as she walked, leaving the question unanswered. She couldn't bring herself to do it, but she also couldn't just leave her best friend to walk when anything could happen to her.

@ BadStreetBoys
Zoey hummed softly before running a hand throughout her hair. "Wait, I can take the bus." She smiled at her before walking with her heading towards the bus stop. She knew Emily didn't like Derrick, and honestly she hated that factor, but she didn't know how to tell her that she loved him. She also didn't know how tell her what he did to her. She didn't know how to make him stop. He always seemed so heartbroken whenever he calmed down and saw what he had done to her. She heard her, and simply looked at the ground. "I don't do it to hurt you. I do it for me.." She gave her a smile before shaking her head and giving her a giant hug once they were there having decided to walk the entire way with her. "I"ll see you tomorrow." She grinned at her before hugged her once more going inside. Once inside, she headed to Derrick's room and knocking on the door. "Hey." She murmured popping her back gently before seeing the stuff on the table and biting her lip. She really wasn't in the mood for anything sexual today. She knew that this was going to be a delicate situation especially trying to tell him no.
