Misery Business

Emily grabbed a role of toilet paper and your some off, wiping her tears, then giving Zoey some so she could do the same. She looked down at her pinky and chuckled. Emily locked pinkies with her best friend before leaning in and kissing her head. "I promise, asshole." She said with a cheesy grin on her face. She gave zoey a towel before heading to her bedroom so she could grab an extra pair of pajamas for her, while Zoey showered she laid them on the back of the toilet. Em cleaned s few things up, as well as putting the fun back to its rightful place in a locked box under her bed. She'd never use it, not while Zoey was here. If she lost Zoe, she knew she wouldn't have her reason to continue, not even herself. It was nearly 12 when Zoey was done, so emily only showered enough to get the gunk off her, and slid into simple PJs. She headed out into the living room. "Ready for bed? Cause I am, we have school tomorrow." She murmured and headed to her room, her bed was small. She worried in her head but tried to hide the thought, Em climbed in and held the blanket up for Zoey to get under. When she was, emily let the blanket fall. "In the morning we should ice our nose again so it doesn't swell before school, people won't notice." She said quietly to her.

Zoey smiled and took some wiping her own tears off and she smiled happily when Emily agreed to the pinkie promise and beamed at her and said, "Good you jerk." She giggled before smiling seeing the towel. She quickly showered making sure when she got out her bruises were still covered up. She dressed quickly before Emily got back and smiled at her just drying her bubble gum pink ombred hair off and smiled at her. She stretched yawning before looking up hearing that Emily was done. She nodded and said, "Yep. I'm tired.' She smiled at her. She stood up and headed into her room and slid into bed and curled up into a ball yawning softly as she just snuggled against the blankets and pillow and murmured, "I love your bed." She smiled at her before looking up at her. "Okay. I'll also put some concealer on it." She said thoughtfully. "Maybe I won't." She said her eyes sparking at the idea of making Derrick feel bad for throwing some shit at her. She then shrugged. "I dunno." She laughed. "It'll be funny if people think I got into a fight." She then smiled at her friend. "Goodnight Em." She told her before snuggling up and falling asleep happily.

Em looked down at her friend and rolled her eyes. "You can say we got in a fight!" She exclaimed playfully. Emily smiled again and laid Down, curling up against her friend, though keeping her arms tucked beneath her. Emily always sleep to better with Zoey around, just knowing she wa in her home calmed her more to help her sleep. She couldn't sleep right now though. She just thought about how close her and Zoey were, and how dependant she was. She thought it might Ben on the count Zoey had been the only person to be remotely nice to Emily after she was kicked out of her home. Others wouldn't give her the time of day. She was just the gay freak. She hated it. Brushing those thoughts aside, Emily allowed herself to fall into a slumber. On clockwork, her body woke her at five fifteen, like always she decided because her best friend was over to make something, well what she's considered anyway, nice. Emily cooked for a bite, making pancakes and sausage. It wasn't much but it was for her best friend. She moved and went to go wake zoey up around six thirty.

Zoey slept peacefully knowing she was with Emily and not with her mom who was just overprotective. She didn't have a problem with her family much, they just worked a lot and didn't really give her the time of day, so she made up for it with spending time with Emily and Derrick. Her mother absolutely adored her boyfriend and her dad was just happy she had Emily with her at school to watch out for her. She yawned as she woke up seeing Emily over her and smiled and blinked smelling sausage and pancakes and laughed, "You didn't need to cook you goof." She smiled at her before getting up and hugging her. She headed into the room with her and smiled as they began to ate. After eating, Zoey changed in the bathroom after brushing her teeth and came out and put the peas on her nose again and murmured, "Are we going on your bike?" She asked her smiling.

@ JesterOfGenocide;
Emily grinned when Zoey woke and just rolled her eyes. "Only the best for you." She teased and went to the table to eat. When they were done, and Zoey went to the bathroom, Emily cleaned up the dishes. She looked on the calendar, sighing softly, working till eleven tonight. She glance up hearing Zoe's voice. "Of course, plus I'm working after school so I gotta get there." She told her and then took the bathroom herself so that she could get ready. Emily wore her work clothes to schools on days she went to the diner, simply because it wasted less clothes, so she didn't have to do undry more often. She walked out, and grabbed her keys from the ring and looked at Zoey. "Come on fool." She said and headed out grabbing her extra helmet, "are you gonna come visit me today at work?" She asked as she straddled the bike, latching her helmet, handing zoey her own. Once Zoey was secured with her helmet, and holding on, Emily kicked the stand up, revved her engine, and sped off towards the school. She wished she could drive without her helmet, but zoey didn't let her. She loved the wind in her hair, breathing in the cool air. It was amazing.

@ BadStreetBoys
Zoey wondered what Derrick she was going to get today. It didn't really matter unless he apologized. She sighed stretching gently and not bothering to hide her nose. She didn't care. That just meant he got to stare at it and see what he had done to her. She smiled at her friend and said, "Looking hot like always." She giggled before laughing and said, "Yes ma'am." She smiled at her and hummed debating and said, "Probably. I might not depends on if my mom demands that I come home. You know how she is." She told her sighing a big. She got on the bike after Emily did and secured her helmet on her head before wrapping her arms around her tightly to make sure she didn't fall off. She smiled happily not wanting her friend to get hurt or anything and watched as the buildings and shapes passed her by. She felt her phone go off and was sure it would be Derrick. It might not, but she wasn't going to check until she got to her first block.

@ JesterOfGenocide;
Emily stopped her bike, parking in her usual spot, once off she turned on the alarms, and locked away the helmets. "I hope your mom allows you to see me, the days you visit are the best days I have." She said and smiled. "I gotta make up a quiz in first block, so I can't wait with you today. I'll see you at. Lunch though. Love you Zoe!" She exclaimed. Emily was in a much better mood today, and she knew it was all Zoey's fault, she made her happy. Emily gave her friend a tight hug before disappearing into the school.

Derrick had arrived early at the school for his practice,he decided to send zoey a message before he hopped into the shower. "Hope you aren't gonna be A bitch today, I'll see you." Derrick had finished his shower and was heading up to his car to get his books when he saw the two friends, embrace, scowling angrily. He purposefully heading into the lunchroom where students awaited for the bell to ring and start the day. He sat in plain view, just wanting to irk his girlfriend.

@ BadStreetBoys
Zoey smiled at her and said, "I hope she does too you know I love coming to the diner to come see you." She grinned at her happily getting off of the bike and handing her her helmet. She nodded hearing her and said, "Alright, hon. I love you too." She smiled and hugged her back tightly. She watched her walk off before taking her phone out and reading the message. She raised an eyebrow at it and sent back, I wasn't a bitch. My nose is broken. She angrily sent send and sighed before walking into the lunch room and sitting down somewhere and pulling a book out wincing at her nose and knew for a fact she was getting stared at. Most of the guys on the soccer and lacrosse team were friends with her considering she was dating Derrick. One of his friends came up and asked if she was okay. She nodded and just started to talk to him.

@ JesterOfGenocide;
Derrick glared across the room at Zoey, she was just wearing the injury with pride and he hated it. Why are you being such a bitch? Did last night teach you nothing? And leave my friends alone. he sent as he watched her across the room. Derrick was already planning on teaching her another lesson. As her and his friend Lucas continued to speak he got even angrier. Derrick grabbed his backpack and got up, sot,ring over to her table. "Go awa Lucas." He demanded. And sat down across form her, he grabbed her shirt and pulled her closer to him. His voice a scary whisper. "Stop." He hissed.

@ BadStreetBoys
Zoey wasn't checking her phone, she was simply talking to the person since he seemed concerned for her well being. She sighed as she explained that she had fallen and hit her nose he nodded and told her he hoped she felt better. Zoey looked up hearing Derrick and blinked and sighed waving a goodbye to Lucas before looking at him. She felt him grab her shirt and raised an eyebrow. "I'm not doing anything Derrick, he wanted to talk to me and ask why my nose was messed up. I told him I missed the steps on the stairs and it hit the concrete." She told him before touching his hang gently hoping to get him to calm down. She looked up at him her aqua colored eyes just looking into his own. She sighed before dropping her hand and looking down. "All i want is an apology." She told him shrugging. "That's all I want, and I know you aren't going to give it to me." She mumbled looking at her hands gently.

Zoey knew for a fact he would just say he didn't ahve anything to apologize for. Which wasn't the case, her fucking nose was swollen and killing her and she sighed. She got a text from her mom and bit her lip not checking it until she was done talking with Derrick knowing he hated when she had her attention on someone else. She saw his text and just looked at him and mumbled, "I hate when you're angry." She then looked down at her sketch book gently and then looked back up to meet his eyes, knowing his entire soccer and lacrosse team was staring at the two of them. Most of them were on edge and Lucas especially looked worried for Zoey's sake knowing that he had anger issues.

@ JesterOfGenocide;
Derrick growled lowly, he kept his face close to hers, wanting to stay as quiet as possible. He knew people were looking and listening, but if he was silent, he could keep people from finding out. "Yea, that better be you're fucking excuse. I don't need you messing up my chances at sports scholarships with your bullshit." He said and leaned back, looking at the people watching them. "Need to kind their own business." He sneered and shook his head. He pulled his hand away from her. "You're right because it's your fault." He leaned in again. "Stop talking so loud. Check your phone. I don't want the dyke guard dog to come after me if thats her." He ordered

Derrick got up and got a pop tart from the cafe before returning as he began to gnaw on it, looking across at Zoey. "I love you even though you're a bitch." He retorted, crossing his arms when he finished his breakfast. The bell rang and he stood up, hiking his bag onto his shoulder. "See you st lunch." He commented and got off towards class, still as angry as before.

@ BadStreetBoys
Zoey frowned watching him gently. She wanted to just kiss him and have him not be a dick but she knew that wasn't going to happen. She raised an eyebrow, "How in the world would I mess up your sport scholarships? Especially since I helped you get them." She countered frowning gently before sighing and watched him and said, "They don't know how to. It's stuck in their brains to watch everyone else and that everyone else's business is their's. " She muttered. She felt his hand snatch away from hers and blinked watching him. "It's my mom, not Emily." She told him. She hated that he thought he could just order her around. She dealt with it most of the time. She then sighed.

Zoey raised an eyebrow hearing him, "I love you even though you're an ass somedays." She responded cooly. She watched and blinked and said, "Yeah, bye," She told him softly sighing as he left. She hoped he was in a better mood later. She checked her phone seeing her mom had texted her and she texted her back asking if she could go see Em at the diner tonight, or hang out with Derrick. Her mom said it was fine and she stood up adn went to her class. She sat down and worked on her canvas she had been working on the day before and sighed when the bell rang for lunch. She headed to lunch.

@ JesterOfGenocide;
Derrick rolled his eyes at Zoey for the remainder of their conversations. He just sighed and went to class. He went through class easily, when the bell rang for lunch he headed down, and got into the lunch line. Today was pizza, so it wasn't too bad. He wasn't as mad since time had lapsed, but he knew seeing Emily would infuriate him even more. Derrick sat down at the table, he was the first one here today, and awaited the arrival of his girl and her friend.

Emily mad early up her quiz, and when class began, a few of the jocks were in her class. They all spoke of he tension between Derrick and Zoey. Worry built up into a ball in her throat. She felt as though she couldn't breath. Emily swallowed it hard when the teacher called on her. She answered it almos dismissively, all she could think of was zoey. She couldn't will the class to end sooner. Emily didn't even get lunch, hurrying To the table, frowning when the only one there was Derrick. She sat across from him and looked down at her phone, hoping he wouldn't start anything. But could already feel her face hot from anger.

@ BadStreetBoys
Zoey lost track of time in her painting trying to make sure it was perfect for the upcoming art show. She knew her teacher wanted her to be apart of it. Her teacher constantly told her she was such wasted potential if she didn't allow her work to be seen. She saw the time and blinked jumping up telling the teacher goodbye and that she'd see him tomorrow to work on it some more. She waved before grabbing her backpack and hurrying to lunch. She was usually the first one there, or at least the second. She never was the last. She made it into the lunchroom and sighed as she hurried to the table.

Once she got there she said, "I'm sorry, I was so concentrated on my painting, since Mr. Sawyer wants me in the art show I was just focused and zoned into the painting. I didn't even hear the bell ring." She shrugged and looked at Derrick and said, "Hey babe." She kissed his cheek like normal and then looked at Em and smiled at her before grabbing her sketch books and shoving them into her bag. She raised an eyebrow at them and said, "I really didn't mean to be late, is something wrong?" She frowned softly.

@ JesterOfGenocide;
Derrick glared at Emily but leaned back in his chair and looked around for zoey. When she arrived he leaned into the kiss fore reaching up and pulling her chin down so he could kiss her. "I love you." He mumbled. And watched her a smile she sat, sending another dagger glare at Emily. "No, nothing's wrong. Just quiet. Is your painting going well?" He asked firmly, licking his lips, though he seemed to Be staring at Emily. In his mind he was planning ways to get her out of the picture.

Emily was messaging her boss, asking for overtime when Zoey arrived. When Zoey sat, beneath the table, Emily grabbed her hand and gave it a squeeze. "Sorry I'm just talking to my boss, that's why." She said. "The line is shorter now I'm gonna get outa." Emily said and got up to go get lunch. She was glad her boss liked her, she let her have small meals on the clock, knowing her homemade life, or lack of one. In line, Emily seemed lost in her own mind. She needed to get outta this place, but she couldn't lose Zoey

@ BadStreetBoys
Zoey smiled feeling him pull her chin down so that they could kiss. She smiled happily, "I love you too." She murmured, knowing that that was his way of apologizing. She sat down and looked at him hearing him and smiled. "Yeah it's going great! I can't wait for you guys to see it." She beamed at them and squeezed Emily's hand back before looking at her hearing her. "I understand. Your boss is really nice." She told her before nodding hearing her say she was going to go get food.

Zoey was glad that he seemed to be better than he was earlier. She hummed lightly and showed him a portrait of him in her sketch book and grinned. "How do you like it? I think I did this a while back and honestly just forgot. I draw so much, there's no telling what all is in my sketch book. And do you want me at your game tomorrow night?" She asked him, knowing if she went, she'd need to get the jersey he gave her out of her closet and wear it.

@ JesterOfGenocide;
Derrick grinned slightly at Zoey as he watched her. "That's good." He said flatly, tapping his fingers on the table as he took a bite of the sandwich his mother prepared for him. All the food he had was premium and healthy. "That's cute, you should draw one of the both of us." He commented and put his arm around her shoulder, pulling her in to him. "Yea sure, though if you are gonna wear my jersey you need to cover." He pointed to her nose. "That ip because we don't want the other team getting the wrong impression, do we?" He said, only bringing it up after emily was far enough away to not hear.

Emily gave her friend a week smile before she stood in line for lunch. She would occasionally look over at the couple she sat with. A girl slid into line besides Emily and gave her a smile before striking up a conversation. Emily gave her her own number before smiling giddily and heading back to the table.

Zoey smiled softly and just ate small bits of her own food before putting it down and humming softly. She heard him and smiled softly. "My self portraits don't normally come out good at all." She told him laughing. "If I make one of us, will you keep it?" She asked him smiling gently. She felt stares and glanced over seeing his teams looking at them and just sighed before smiling feeling his arm go around her and snuggled into him happily. "Alright." She told him. She kissed his cheek. "Want me to bring you some food for halftime?" She asked him shivering a little because it was cold in the cafeteria.

Zoey watched Emily and grinned seeing her talking to another girl. When she got back she grinned and said, "Get her number?" She smiled and rested her head against Derrick knowing he would have her for tonight since she was gonna be at his game.

Derrick rolled his eyes and looked at Zoey. I"'m are they look fine, plus it's the both of us, so itll be cute either way cause we're the cutest couple." He coped. His voice dropped with fake cuteness but he played it very well. "Yes I will." He said and rubbed her arm. "Cold?" He asked and offered his sweatshirt to her as his arm went back around her shoulders and he leaned back, just picking st the food that his mother had given him. "Sure if you want to. You can come get my jersey right after school." He told her, frowning as Emily returned.

Emily returned with a small smile on her face, swallowing hard after the encounter with the girl. She'd introduced herself as a new girl, and heard things about emily and wanted to get to know her and offered her her number which emily accepted. The girl was cute and interested in her it seemed. Emily sat down and began to eat her lunch as her eyes slid over to Zoey. She glared at derrick before nodding st Zoe's question. "Yes I did."

Zoey smiled hearing Derrick not noticing him roll his eyes and smiled hearing him. "I'm glad you think so." She told him and sighed as she relaxed against him not caring what other people thought at the moment. She smiled once more hearing him say he would keep it, "Then I'll make one, for you." She told him and blinekd hearing his question and nodded before taking his sweatshirt and giggled at how much bigger it was on her. "Thank you." She kissed him gently before nodding, "Alright. I'll have your mom make something or do you want me to cook something?" She asked him knowing that sometimes he wanted something other than what his mom got him. She heard Emily and smiled high fiving her, "Good job." She said, "I hope it works out." She told her grinning.
