Chapter 6

The two were half way back to the café when the rain stopped. Zoey removed Elliot’s coat and handed it to him.

“No, keep it on I don’t want your cold getting worse.” said Elliot

Zoey didn’t argue and put the coat back on.

“Are you okay Strawberry?” asked Elliot

“A little better” replied Zoey.

“No, I mean your ankle” said Elliot as he pointed to Zoey’s ankle. “I just noticed you were walking with a limp.”

“It must have happened when I tripped earlier” she replied, then Zoey held her head, a look of dizziness on her face.

Elliot looked at her with concern. Zoey gave hi a small smile as to say “I’m fine”

“Just a small head rush.” she stated.

When they arrived at the café, Elliot helped Zoey sit down in one of the chairs.

“I’ll go get you some warm, dry clothes.” Said Elliot before he ran up stairs

Zoey sat in the chair holding her head, eyes half way open. Elliot returned and handed Zoey some clothes. She went into the changing room and returned in a pair of light gray sweat pants and t-shirt. Her hair was out of its normal style; Zoey only let it grow a couple centimeters longer then when she was younger.

The Mew leader slowly limped towards her chair, swaying slightly with each step. Elliot walked over and helped her to her seat. When Zoey sat down he placed the back of his hand on her forehead.

“You do have a fever, not that big of one, but not a small one either.” He said.

Zoey was blushing a deep shade of red now. Elliot didn’t see her and handed her a thermometer, Zoey placed it under her tongue.

“102.4” he read as he checked it. “That’s pretty high; you better get some rest Zoe.”

“I’m fine Elliot, anyway it’s not like I’m going anywhere.” replied Zoey.

Elliot nodded and asked “Would you like something to drink?’

“Hot tea please, now I’m sounding like Corina” said Zoey with a small laugh and smile.

Elliot nodded and walked towards the kitchen.

‘At least she’s smiling’ he thought.

“Its stupid.” said Zoey.

“What is?” asked Elliot from the kitchen.

“The reason Mark broke up with me.” replied Zoey. “…Because I’m a mew…please”

Eliot poked his head around the doorway of the kitchen.

“Zoe-” he started

“He was probably cheating on me with that little-” Zoey started but Elliot cut her off.

“Strawberry” he said in a small stern voice.

Zoey looked at Elliot as he walked over to her, the cup of hot tea in his hand. He placed it on the table in front of Zoey.

She gave him a small sad smile and said “Thanks Elliot”

“No problem Strawberry” replied Elliot.

“No, I mean for everything, you’re being so nice to me and I’ve never seen you so nice to me.” stated Zoey as she took a sip of her tea.

“Zoe it’s the least I can do, after all I’ve done to you” said Elliot as he sat in the chair nest to her.

Zoey looked up from the table at him, remembering what she said earlier.

“Elliot…I didn’t mean it, I was just so upset I-” she started but Elliot placed a finger on her lips to silence her.

“It’s alright” he said in a voice Zoey rarely heard, it was calming and sincere.

Zoey couldn’t help but blush even more, to hide it she to another sip of her tea.

(Later)

There laid Zoey curled up on the couch, asleep. Elliot walked back up from the lab and saw her. He smiled at the sleeping mew. Elliot quietly walked over to her and gently picked her up bridal style. Zoey’s head gently fell onto his shoulder, Elliot blushed slightly.

He carried the sleeping sat-girl upstairs and into the spare bedroom. He laid her down and pulled the blankets up to her shoulders. Elliot brushed Zoey’s tear stained cheeks, wiping the remains of a couple tears away.

‘She must have cried herself to sleep’ he thought sadly.

Elliot sighed sadly as he made his way to his room. He got ready for bed, as he did so all he thought about was Zoey. Elliot sighed as he laid on his bed and pulled the covers over his shoulders.

He was halfway asleep when he head Zoey cough a painful sounding cough. But Elliot knew she was just covering up her sobbing. Elliot got up and walked out of his room. He opened the door to the spare bedroom and looked in. The small light from the hallway allowed him to see.

Zoey laid in the bed, curled into a tight ball, her eyes halfway open and tear filled.

“I know you’re there Elliot.” she whispered.

Elliot stepped into the room and looked at the cat-girl with sad eyes.

“I’m fine” answered Zoey to the unasked question.

Elliot walked over to Zoey and placed his hand on her head.

“I know you are, you’re a strong person Strawberry.” he whispered as he gently ruffled her hair.

Zoey gave a small tiered smile, Elliot didn’t see. Elliot started to walk towards the door, the turned to face the mew.

“Get some rest Zoe, Good Night.” He said.

“Good Night Elliot” replied Zoey before she fell asleep.

Elliot smiled sadly at her then closed the door. He walked back to his room and slipped back into bed. Elliot fell asleep almost instantly.

A couple hours later Elliot awoke to the sound of his door opening and closing. Then he felt someone lying next to him. Elliot opened his eyes and could faintly see Zoey asleep next to him. HE let pout a sad sigh as he folded his covers over her. He then looked at the mew’s sleeping face. He smiled with his eyes half open, Elliot gently brushed a few strands of Zoey’s hair out of her face.

“I love you Zoey.” He whispered, hoping deeply that she heard him.
