Plot
Zoe is a young girl that is expierencing adult life. She is being left alone at home alot, therefore she has to do all the cooking herself and has to clean the house. Zoe must do this because her mother is always in the hospital, and her dad takes care of her there. For example: " Fear uncurled within her. Mommy, she thought like a child. Is it the hospital again--or worse? She dropped her schoolbag in the hall, forgetting the open door, and walked slowly into the kitchen, afraid of what message might await her. There was a note on the refrigerator" (klause,1). Another example would be: " She crumpled the note and flung it at the trash can. It missed. She snorted in disgust. It seemed that lately all her conversations with her father had been carried on with a bannana refrigerator magnet as intermediary" (Klause 1-2). Everything changed when Zoe met Simon, he made her happy and cared for her, she also cared for Simon. An example of this is: " Zoe", Simon said, pulling up short, and he held out his hand. A detached part of her wondered at his not being out of breath, while she took his hand automatically, as if she had been doing it for years. They countinued walking, and she shifted the umbrella to cover him, too, but he didn't seem to notice. "Where are you going?" He flipped his sopping-wet hair back from his eyes, scattering drops down her cheek. "The hospital." His eyes registered surprise, concern perhaps. "You are ill?". "No, my mother's there". "Oh". They reached the bus stop, and he took in the red-and-white transit sign. "Can i come?" He dropped her hand to search his pockets but seemed to find nothing that satisfied him. "I have enough for you too," she said. Let him come. It felt right (klause 134-135). Another example of Zoe caring for Simon would be: "But Zoe cares, he thought as he tossed a last handful of leaves on the pile. She said she'd help me. No one hasever helped me; yet, knowing what i am, she'll help" (klause-149). But just because Zoe's mom barley spends time with her daughter doesn't mean she doesn't know anything about her, for she knows more then Zoe would ever think possible, an example is: " Her mother reached for her hand and squeezed it, and her voice softened. " The world won't shatter, Zoe." Shealways seemed to know exactaly how Zoe felt" (Klause-189).
