Un-bullied

Zoe Blue peered through the transparent rare door glass at the fast moving substances outside. The brawny glass shielded her eyes from the visible rain drops descending steadily from the atmosphere. Like in a slow motion, she saw them hit the glass, it was oddly satisfying. She would feel as if the rain drops would hit her but they landed right above her nose on the glass.

Zoe's left hand was wrapped securely around her lower abdomen, motion sickness was eating her up leisurely and she would hate to vomit in the nice smelling car the first time she got on it.

The driver, the only other passenger in the car had tried to start conversations with Zoe, Zoe had only nodded saying nothing. Talking to strangers—or anyone was something Zoe had found hard to do. He let her be and drove through the road, taking over cars, speeding.

The eerie silence in the car didn't bother Zoe, she had been seated in the car for hours, after her extremely long flight, not stopping to eat, not even adjusting.

Who built airports so far away from houses?!!.

She closed her eyes knowing she was now very very very far, very far from her home,t as far as she had never been or hoped to be. A new life approaches while memories of the past still lingers.

"Rest on mom and dad." She kissed the petal shaped pendant hanging down from her neck. She felt tears sting her eyes again, the fifteenth time that day, she had been counting.

Both her parents died on the same day and she was still hurting, real bad. The only people who ever understood her were dead and gone, she abstain from thinking about it, it made her want to weep, she couldn't help it.

"We are almost there." The driver announced cheerfully.

The atmosphere had changed, the sky was now darker and thicker signifying night fall, it took them an entire day to get to Mr Collins Blue's house, Zoe Blue's uncle.

Zoe peered outside ones more, the surroundings were different from before, she saw identical houses arranged on both sides of the road, with lawns and disposers, the houses were surprisenly large and tall.

"Meow meow!." Snow meowed from Zoe's back pack, the obedient cat peered from the little breathing space Zoe had torn into her bag for the feline.

"I miss you too." Zoe whispered back and rubbed the white cat cute head with a finger. "We have just each other now."

The car stopped to a halt for the first time since the ride began. Zoe's breathing became more hitched as nervousness got the best of her.

"Here we are!. I can do it!." Oh no she can't!.

"Come down now." The driver slammed the side door shut and opened the door for her.

"Meow meow." Snow shook the bag uncomfortably.

"Stay still we're almost there!."

"Zoe!." Mr Collins Blue shot through the door as fast as an antelope. "We have been waiting. Come on. Come in. Are you okay?. Oh leave your bags, Sally will get them. How was the journey?, Have you had something to eat?. Irene has made her delicious spaghetti for you. Come on, come in, you have to eat a lot. You're thinner than every girl I've ever seen on this earth."

"My bags."

"Sally will take care of those."

He laughed out loud cackling, he took Zoe's hand and they headed back inside.

Mr Collins Blue was a man that looked younger than he actually was, in his late forties, he looked like he was just in his early thirties, like he just gotten through puberty.

Collins was over hyper active he was never in a spot for too long, he exercised, he talked, he laughed, he was always happy. He was a man of good active vibes.

Collins Blue was muscular and agile with thick brown curly hair like Zoe's, it runs in the family. He had spotless light skin, light brown in perfection, but crooked teeth that he was never ashamed off.

Unlike his brother, Zoe's deceased father who was always calm, never said too much, straightforward. In a way, boring. Larry Blue, Zoe's late dad, wedded a woman that was just like him in heart and character.

Together they passed down their 'dullness' to Zoe. She was too gentle and calm, too.

Zoe, thin and tall at 17, in a normal way. Light skinned with thick brown curly shoulder length hair. Tiny beautiful brown eyes, flat nose, brown pink lips [upper lips brown, lower lips pink], and a slightly long neck.

"Zoe is here." Mr Collins Blue shouted into the castle building, his husky voice booming here and there to alert them all, his wife Irene, and children, J squad, Jahim, Jamal, Jamil, Jaffer.

Collins, no doubt had the mind of a child with a grown man's body. .

"Zoe Hi. Welcome!." Irene came rushing out of a silver lined door dressed in grey shorts and a Lakers tank top.

She hugged Zoe tightly and beamed at the girl. Irene's long brown hair tickled Zoe's face.

"I'm sure you're hungry, I made spaghetti tonight, come with me, the boys must be asleep, we'll give you a proper welcome party tomorrow. Come with me." Irene held Zoe's hand cheerfully.

"Is there more for me too?." Collins held Zoe's other hand.

The couple's led Zoe into the kitchen chatting and explaining, they never stopped to take a breath.

"You've have a wonderful time here, you call us mom and dad if it's okay with you. We had Sally decorate a room upstairs for you."

The kitchen was huge, clean and bright, comforting in a nice way. Everything looked so arranged, and weirdly, there was a horn hanging from the ceiling.

"Here!. The...." Irene was saying dropping a big plate of tasty smelling spaghetti in front to Zoe.

"Snow!." Zoe suddenly shouted cutting Irene short. "I forgot about snow, she must be hungry too."

"Who is snow?." Collins asked in an amused tone.

"My...let me just get her." Zoe dashed towards the door she came through, luckily she found her bags close to the door with the door open. She unzipped her back pack and took out the pure white stunning white cat and held her like a child.

Snow had the most dazzling pure white fur anyone had ever seen, half of it's tail was golden and so were it paws.

Zoe took snow with her back to the kitchen.

"This is snow. My cat." She introduced.

The first reaction she got was unexpected and startling, it was a loud shriek from Collins. Collins Blue jumped far away from Zoe giving the most outrageous shriek.

"Oh my gosh. Collins is scared of cats, don't mind him he's such a big baby." Irene shrieked too running to hold Collins still and try to muffle his scream.

"I'll get him upstairs. Sorry about that. Eat!. Please!. Sally will show you to your roo... Coll stop screaming like a little girl... Good night Zoe."

"Can I have a can of tuna for snow?."

"Sure. You'll find them on the top shelf."

Irene pulled the trigged Collins out of the kitchen like a child. Zoe couldn't suppress her laughter, so much for being a man uhn.

She felt light hearted as she faced her spaghetti placing snow right in front of her, snow meowed happily at Zoe. Food at last.

Zoe laid a plate on the table and served snow some tuna before digging into her spaghetti.

Before long the food was almost gone, she was starving. Zoe felt eyes on her, she let her eyes drift slowly beside her.

A small head was peeping out of the half opened door. Little brown eyes stared cutely at Caroline, his brown curly hair looking thick and wavy. Jaffer blue. The last child, maybe. Just four years old he was.

Caroline smiled encouragingly at him. The little boy understood the friendly gesture.

"Can I be your boyfriend?." Little Jaffer asked with a sweet smooth voice. "So I can protect you from danger because you're so pretty."

Zoe blushed slightly. What a charmer.

Zoe had only seen him ones, when he was two years old, still filled with baby fat and cuteness. Telling from the size of his head, he had lost most of the weight.

"Shouldn't you be in bed Jaffer?." Zoe asked.

"Oh you can call me Jaffy. I couldn't sleep until I saw you, I saw your room too. I made sure Sally cleaned it well I promise. I could clean it again if you want or you could take mine if you would want that. I have a toy you can play with or you can play with me if you want." Jaffy smiled. Twin dimples on his adorable cheeks.

How can you not love this kid.

"Can you show me to my room then." Snow had finished the rest of her food anyway. Zoe placed the plates in the sink.

She grabbed snow and placed her on her shoulder then strolled towards Jaffer... Jaffy.

"If you need anything at all you can tell me. I am very strong. I work out too. See my hand." His little hand squeezed to show the muscles on it.

"Thank you so much Jaffy." Zoe said with a smile.

Jaffy led her upstairs.
