lvl9:
UNLOCKING THE DOOR , careful not to wake up anyone in the house who might be sleeping , he’s greeted by zoey sitting at the dining room table and his daughter running over to him , hair braided and given some sort of makeover … clearly she’s thrilled to see him ———— and cyrus can tell that by the sheer force of riley nearly knocking him over with a hug . “ i take it tonight went good ? ”
@baristablues : gets cyrus also
relief washes over her when she hears the lock turn. she’s nearly as excited by his return as riley seems.
it’s not that she has any issues taking care of the girl. on the contrary, she’s actually particularly fond of this child. but she has never been particularly gifted with caring for children. especially when she so desperately needs riley to like her, to vouch for her to her father.
“obviously,” zoey scoffs, making her way over to watch the two embrace at the door. there’s a sad sort of smile on her face as she watches the display. “you know she’s always in good hands with me.”
on cue, the brunette sticks out the tiniest little jazz hands. god, she’s such a dork.

“ YOU TELL ME .” there’s a sternness to his voice , like he’s telling zoey that he’s not going to let her get away with this , this time . he knows enough to start drawing conclusions and piecing things together . maybe he can get her to confess by playing the same game he has been for over a year now … manipulation . “ you mean a lot to me zo , ” a lie . “ and to hear from your mom that she was expecting to see a guy named CYRUS there for you instead of me ? what the fuck . ”

of course the guilt rushes in, though really she knows she’s done nothing technically wrong. he’s good at playing that game with her heart. how does she even BEGIN to excuse or explain any of this? cyrus and sam are two pieces of her life that were never meant to collide. one gasoline, the other a flame. the second these two paths cross, her whole life will burn down.
fucking hell. she’s going to let it loose on her mother the second sam’s out of her hair.
“oh! him, duh.” trying to remain calm even as her heartrate picks up, she intensifies the mindless behavior. “i totally forgot he was supposed to come by. he’s just some guy coaching me for an audition.” reaching out a slightly shaky hand, she caresses sam’s arm gently, a hopeful attempt to lure him out of this wretched mood.

lvl9:
“ YOU’RE FUCKING KIDDING . ” her blood is boiling and all she wants to do right now is waltz right down to the station and maybe give sam a bloody lip of his own , but she knows that the man is twice her size and if she wandered into his work place where there were others like him . it’d be over for her . for her future . for her hope to get out of hatchetfield with hannah and ethan .
a huff leaves her as she grits her teeth , a little too hard . if any more pressure was placed on her teeth she’d be sure they’d crack .
“ you didn’t do anything wrong here , he’s the one in the wrong . ” lex would be the first to tell someone if they fucked something up , she doesn’t know quite why . ( has to be some sort of pride thing . )
“ what all did he say ? ” at this point she was just adding fuel to her own fire , she knew that the more that she heard about what sam had done the more infuriated she’d become . “ what made you snap ? ” she presses .
hesitantly lex reaches out a hand , resting it on zoey’s face , thumb brushing against the wound , her face changing emotions rapidly , from anger to sadness and then back to anger . zoey shouldn’t have to go through this .
it’s strange to be treated so gently, especially by none other than lex foster. it takes a lot to keep herself from tearing up at it.
lex is right. of course she’s right. but within her is a chorus of voices. voices of every single person who ever made her feel that she deserved any of this. every little thing that could be said to justify it all. they keep a world of doubt and hurt resting on her small shoulders, weighing her down.
“it was personal,” zoey mutters, tapping her foot nervously. “i really don’t think you want to know. you think you do, but . . . i shouldn’t tell you. or anyone. don’t tell anyone.”

lvl9:
“ YOUR MOM LET ME IN . ” sam states as soon as he hears zoey’s bedroom door open . there’s a look of anger masked with something else … ( could it be lust ? betrayal ? who could tell . ) a laugh escapes him , it’s completely disingenuous . “ zo … care to tell me who cyrus is ? ” why is he jealous ? he has charlotte … but zoey ? she’s his .
@baristablues : gets sam , again >:)

her face, already not too amused, falls the second the words leave sam’s mouth. she immediately tenses up, eyes wide with . . . something. something not too far off from fear.
“who?” she questions, playing dumb of course. maybe she’d fool him hard enough this time. besides, she knows he’s always preferred her in her less intelligent states. there’s no fun in a girl who has her shit together and her head on straight. “is that a name i should know?”

lvl9:
“ how can i not assume the worst in people —- ESPECIALLY SAM —— when he’s shown me time and time again that he doesn’t know how to treat a girl … like his wife ? and you ? hell , you deserve better. ” she wasn’t buying zoey’s alibi for why she had a split open lip … okay , maybe at first she believed it a little bit but only because she didn’t know shit about theatre herself . but zoey’s mannerisms ? that told her she was lying .
“ okay , but what really happened ? ” she narrowed her eyes at zoey , her thumb going up to her mouth as she worried the nail between teeth . “ it looks too new to be from ‘ the other day ’, zoey . ” a frown deepens on her face as she looks at the girl . “ why’d he do it ? ”

“i don’t really wanna talk about it,” she mumbles, surrendering. the snarky attitude washes right off of her and she’s left feeling rather dumb. it’s scary when someone sees right through you. and the mention of charlotte doesn't do anything but make her feel guilty. and jealous. “he just . . . i don’t know, i snapped. he was in a real shit mood and i wasn’t putting up with it today. work sucked, rehearsal sucked, and i wasn’t gonna let him make it all worse.”
it’s all true, simply omitting a few important details. number one: he had been complaining about a call he got the other day to report that hannah was wandering by herself down the street at three in the morning. number two: he was incredibly insensitive about it, sharing some rather unkind thoughts about the kid.
zoey’s never been one to argue with authority. she’s always been a suck-up. the kind of kid who gave teachers gift cards before winter break or remembered their birthdays. the girl who brought flowers for the director on opening night. who agrees with everything her boss says. who, no matter how wrong, would do ANYTHING sam asked of her. but that was enough to rile her up after the day she’d been having. sure, she used to give hannah many a strange glance. she had once blindly believed the rumor that the child suffers from severe cerebral trauma due to being dropped on her head as an infant. but ever since her truce with lex, she’s grown to understand it all more accurately.
“i don’t know, i was really rude and way out of line, so . . . i mean, you can’t expect him to just put up with getting yelled at.”

lvl9:
“ hey … what’s that ? ” she gestures to the other brunettes clearly busted lip , a look of confusion coming onto her face , and then it hits her , like she’s sure that sam did to zoey . “ did he fucking hit you ? ” lex is sure that zoey’s probably going to play it off as just a reaaaally bad cold sore but lex is smarter than that . lex is smarter than anyone really gives her credit for .
“ tell me he didn’t hit you —- ‘cause if he did we’re gonna have some issues . ” issues would probably include lex going and confronting sam about this and then ending up in the back of a police cruiser . but now ? she can’t even think of the consequences . all she wants to do is knock that smug bastard right in his teeth .

the second lex points it out, she knows she’s fucked. maybe she could make up some elaborate lie. anyone else would buy it, but lex foster knows better. she already has zero faith in sam as a person (which, frankly, is warranted), she would assume ANY bad thing to happen would be of his doing. zoey isn’t the least bit shocked when the younger girl puts the pieces together. for someone who flunked out of school, she’s surprisingly quick-witted.
cheeks nearly as red as her lips, she scowls.
“why do you assume the absolute WORST of people?” her hand is already flying to her mouth to shield the scabbing from further examination. her gears are turning, formulating the best possible —— and least incriminating —— explanation. “i had an accident at rehearsal the other day. jackson overshot some stage combat in the scene where he’s supposed to beat me up.”
