Disgraced- Broken Realities Short
Warning: Verbal Abuse-
Zoe was thanking all of the people around her who were offering congratulations. She searched the crowds for her parents but they were no where in sight. She began to frown but quickly changed it to a smile when she saw the Evans family coming towards her. Scott reached her first "Zoe my god you were amazing" said he pulling her in for a hug. Lisa and Shanna were right behind him smiling. "Zoe my dear Scott is right you were amazing, I bet your parents are so proud of regardless of what your sister did" said Lisa giving her a quick hug. Zoe smiled "I hope so have you seen them?" asked Zoe. Scott and the other shook their heads " No I haven't seen them but I am sure they are here somewhere" said Scott. Shanna looked at Zoe " I love your dress it's so pretty you look kind of like Meg from Hercules" said Shanna. Everyone agreed "Way better then Nicole's cupcakes monstrosity she looked like a melting cupcake wailing up there" snapped Scott. "Scott Evans be nice" said Lisa in a whisper. Shanna "What Ma he speaks the truth everyone was covering their ears during her number" replied Shanna agree with Scott. Then Scott saw someone "CHRIS over here" he shouted. Zoe looked over to see Chris walking over to them his hair was buzzed and he was so tall in dark jeans and a blue polo shirt. Zoe bite her lip she had always thought that he was cute but he had never really noticed her with her being the same age as Shanna and she was in his mother's dance classes,He was nice and would always say hi but that was about it.
Chris finally made it over to them "Hey Ma how's it going?" he asked. Lisa just smiled "We were just congratulating Zoe her on the big win tonight" replied Lisa. Chris looked at Zoe and smiled "Oh yeah you were outstanding! You're Zoe Williams right councilman Thomas Williams daughter right?" he asked. Zoe nodded "Yes actually have you seen him or my mom I can't find them" replied Zoe. Chris frowned "Umm I just them leaving with cupcake Barbie crying" replied Chris who looked confused seeing that Zoe was still here and her family had left. Zoe started to walk towards the door and outside tears started to prick from them corner of her eyes.
Zoe made it outside to where her family car had been parked and the space was empty. Her family had left her just completely left her behind. Home was a good thirty min drive how and the hell was she supposed to get home. She started to cry and sat down on the curb it had been such a good night till now. Zoe felt a hand on her shoulder "Zoe are you okay?" asked a male voice. Zoe looked up to see Scott looking down at her with concern. Zoe shook her head "My family left me" said Zoe in a tearful voice. Scott looked around "Are you sure Zoe?" he asked clearly getting annoyed. Zoe just nodded and pointed towards the parking stall " That's where we parked earlier and now it's gone how in the hell I am supposed to get home? I don't have a phone and not enough money for a cab..." she replied starting to panic. Scott quickly pulled her in for a hug. Chris came up behind them and looked around "Did her family really leave her?" asked Chris in a angry tone.
Scott nodded as he held Zoe, Chris just shook his head and step forward "Hey Zoe we can give a ride home so don't worry about that" said Chris softly. Zoe pulled back from Scott looking at Chris "Really that would be amazing and thank you so much!" said Zoe. Chris only nodded before Scott guided over to the car. "Ma knows we are taking Zoe home and she will have few words for the Williams" said Chris with a small smile. Scott just grimaced but as soon they were at the Chris's car. Lisa looked at Zoe with a sad smile. "Zoe, dear are you going to be okay?" asked Lisa softly. "Yes, Mrs. Evans I will be fine, thank you so much for the ride home I truly appreciate that" said Zoe. Lisa just nodded "Of course Zoe and please call me Lisa" she replied.
Chris opened the door for his mom who got in the front seat. Scott open the door for Shanna who sat in the middle and Scott followed behind her. Chris opened the door for Zoe and got in the driver's seat. On the way to her house Zoe got the courage to speak up "Hey Chris I wanted to congratulate you on getting the Johnny Storm role I think you will be really great at that" said Zoe. Chris smiled and looked back at her in the rear view mirror. "Thanks Zoe I really hope I can pull it off"said Chris. Shanna looked Zoe "Hey don't you know a lot about comics Zoe you were always reading them after dance class!" asked Shanna. Zoe blushed "I know a bit Fantastic 4 is a good comic but I am more of a Ironman and Captain America type of fan" replied Zoe. Chris just laughed "Could imagine them making those into movies?" he asked. Zoe got a huge grin "Oh I would just die if they did" said Zoe practically jumping in her seat. The Evans laughed at Zoe's excitement. "Who knows maybe the will and you can play Ironman" said Scott. Zoe pulled a face "No way Chris would totally wrong for Ironman" replied Zoe. All the Evans turned and looked at her surprised. " Sorry Chris not that you would be good at just Tony has to have that bad boy charisma and you have more of a boy next door charm like Steve Rogers you could definitely be Cap" said Zoe. Chris just raised an eyebrow "Thank you Zoe that means a lot from such a Captain America fan.
Twenty minutes later they pulled up to Zoe's house and Lisa and Chris got out to walk her up to the door. Zoe went to open it but it was locked she blushed deeply at the situation. Lisa huffed and "Are you kidding me?" snapped Lisa then she began knocking on the door very firmly. It took a few seconds but soon her father appeared at the door looked out and frowned when he saw Zoe and the Evans. He opened the door "Zoe where in hell have you been?" he yelled. Zoe looked down and tears formed in her eyes "I just a ride from the Evans because you left the competition" replied Zoe. "Well Nicole was super upset that she didn't win so we brought her home" he snapped. Lisa stepped forward "Excuse me but you left your daughter alone in another city because your other bratty daughter couldn't stand the thought she didn't win" yelled Lisa. Thomas looked surprised but then frowned "I thank you Mrs. Evans for bringing her home but I think this a private family matter" said Thomas firmly. Chris stepped forward "Mr. Williams it stopped being a family matter when left Zoe in Concord, Hell you didn't even congratulate her on the outstanding performance and her win tonight" yelled Chris. Thomas just looked at the Evans and then at Zoe. "We are going out to dinner tomorrow to celebrate if you must know, we are excited Zoe won it just Nicole was really upset and in the confusion we just space it is all" said Thomas. Lisa rolled her eyes "Well Mr. Williams remember you have two daughters not just one who frankly could be knocked down a peg or two instead of always being a spoiled brat who is cruel to your other daughter and others." snapped Lisa. Thomas just coughed and stood aside "Zoe please come in and go to bed we will talk later" said Thomas standing aside to let her in. Zoe went to go in when Chris placed a had on her shoulder there was a quick flash of a memory of what looked like Chris and another man laughing together and their strong bond filled Zoe body. The flash was over and Zoe held her head like she was in pain. Lisa stepped forward "Zoe are you okay?" She asked. Zoe looked at Chris who looked so what bewildered but she just shook her head "Yes Lisa I am fine it's been a long night and I am just getting a headache" said Zoe. Lisa frowned and nodded "Well call me if you ever need anything even it's just to talk okay sweetie" said Lisa. Zoe nodded "Of course again thanks for the ride home. Good night " replied Zoe. Zoe gave the Evans one last look who were looking at her with pity. Thomas said a quite good night and shut the door.
Her father glared at her " Zoe you have no idea how much you embarrassed us tonight not only with that ridiculous song but winning seriously your sister was devastated" snapped Thomas. Zoe pulled a look of disbelief "Dad, I am sorry about the song but did you seriously think she would actually win? Come on Scuttle sounds better than her" said Zoe as she rolled her eyes. "Zoe that is so cruel how can you say that about your sister she loves you so much..."starts Thomas. Zoe began to laugh " Oh my god no she doesn't, She has hated me the moment I came into this house. Always reminded me that I am unwanted just a lucky orphan you took off the street" yelled Zoe. Thomas looked at her surprised and shook his head. "Zoe we adopted you that you could have a good home you should realize how lucky you are a lot of kids don't get a loving home.." he says. Zoe again laughs "Loving home indeed for Nicole yes your real daughter it's a loving home given freely. But for me your adopted daughter I have to earn it and no matter what I do it will never compare to her. I mean look at us I have straight A's and I am the editor of the school newspaper and yearbook staff. I have a scholarship to Harvard but no none of that matters compared to little Miss Bitch Barbie who only get C's at best and is a Cheerleader. She doesn't have to get a job and doesn't have to do housework gets everything handed to her but if I want something I have buy it myself. So I am sorry that her wailing out song tonight didn't win and broke her heart but newsflash dad not everyone is blind and deaf to Nicole like you and mom" said Zoe heavily taking deep breaths after hold back for so long. The anger and frustration finally had let loose tonight on her dad.
Thomas looked at Zoe and just pressed his lips together "You are grounded and the money you won tonight will be given to your sister to make up for her heartbreak" he snapped. Zoe just scoffed "She can't use it's a 5,000 dollar scholarship and we both know she isn't going to collage with her grades and I wouldn't give to her even if she had enough brain cells to get in collage" snapped Zoe. Thomas face got red "Zoe Williams you will go to your room and stay there till you act like a civilized person and apologize to your sister"snapped Thomas. Zoe just scoffed "I guess I will be there till Hades freezes over hell I would rather go to tartarus the apologize to that bitch" said Zoe as she stomp up the stairs.
When she got to her room Nicole was waiting "You cheated you freak I know it" yelled Nicole. Zoe rolled her eyes. " Nicole you must be truly delusional to think that squawking that you made tonight would win I can't help it people like my voice compared to your screeching" said Zoe calmly. Nicole with her pale blue eyes got right up to Zoe. "You're going to pay for tonight and you will be so disgraced that everyone will finally see you for the trash that you are" said Nicole. Zoe back up but Nicole got closer "I am going to destroy everything that you have worked for and you will have nothing" said Nicole eerily, calm. Zoe eyes widen and Nicole just smirk as walked on the door "Sweet dreams sister cause I about to make your life a nightmare" snapped Nicole as she slammed the door. Zoe felt a dread spread throughout her body and not sure of what to do. A sad coo caught Zoe attention she looked to see a beautiful silver owl with bright bejeweled blue eyes looking in her window. Zoe swore she thought she saw the owl crying its eyes were bright but sad looking. It made another sad cooing sound before turning away and taking flight into the starless black night sky.
