Chapter 9

"Ugh", whined Zoe when she woke up the next morning. For the first time in 5 days she got out of bed and looked at herself in the mirror. She was scared at first of what she might find, but she looked hard into the mirror at her reflection.

"Oh my G-d", she whispered. She was very displeased with what she saw. Her hair was in a very knotty messy ponytail on top of her head and it looked greasy, she had mascara lines from crying along with purple eyeshadow smudged around her eyes and red liptick marks on her cheeks because she never took her makeup off, her eyes were bloodshot, and she look unforgetabley skinny, for she had not eaten for a week straight. Zoe couldn't take it anymore,she started balling and sunk to floor.

"Oh Zoe, it's okay! We will all help you the best that we can with this and Bryce, Frank, and Sheila know so they will to! Aww Zoe come on you need to get over him, he was being a big jerk to you! You don't need him. Come on, let's go in the other room and get you something to eat and drink and we can make a doctor's appointment," started Arista, "Zoe look at me", Zoe looked up with her bloodshot blue eyes,"You have people here to help you, if you need someone come and get one of us! You told us that you would like to keep this baby so by torturing yourself you aren't helping yourself or the baby. Just think, you'll have a cute little baby in a few more months. He or she will grow up to be a ver ywonderful person because they have you as a mother! Zoe I have been your best friend since we were 3! I know you too well! We'll always be here, you have nothing to worry about. Trust me!"

"Okay, just please help..", Zoe stood up and looked in the mirror,"Help me get back to normal?"

"Okay, will do! Come on, we have a tour meeting today at 3:00!"

--------------------------------------------

At The Meeting:
"Rissy, I don't know if I should go in there?", moaned Zoe.

"Zoe, you have to! Come on, nobody will recognize you because they haven't seen the real Zoe for days!"

"Oh alright"

Zoe walked into the meeting room with Arista and looked up with self confidence the whole time. There was whispering and and few gasps could be heard. The girls walked over to where their group was sitting. In the meeting room there were X-treme, The Moffatts, Bryce, Sheila, Frank, the label executives, and the tour producers.

Arista had taken Zoe to get a makeover so she would feel better. She had gotten her nails done in an off white color, her hair was now highlighted all over and trimmed up to her shoulder, she had makeup done, had a massage, and she was wearing a nice casual Tommy Hilfiger dress with white platform sneakers. Zoe looked over at Sabrina and Teeny and she saw that they were smiling so she shined a big toothy grin right back at them. Then she looked over at The Moffatts and saw that they were whispering among themselves and Scott was just siting and staring at the table.

"Okay well now, we need to discuss what will happen with Zoe's condition.", said Bryce, " I called her doctor today and he said that she can sing just not dance. And the big question is if we should tell or not?"

"I think we should, just don't say that it is Scott's", said Teeny.
"Yeah that's a good idea", responded Clint.
"Okay well then we'll do that. How about when you guys go on Rosie on Monday you can tell then?", questioned Samantha, a record label executive.
A round of okay's went on.

"Okay it's settled we'll let it out on Monday!"
I hope everything goes well!!!!, thought Zoe.
