Zoe's POV
My body was in panic, my mind yelling for me to move, but somehow I couldn't.
I was too late.
Ready to embrace my death, my eyes began to close.
Seconds later, I started to wonder if I had died and somehow hadn't felt a thing.
I heard the sound of screeched tyres, bringing me back to reality.
I opened my eyes to see the van just a meter away.
'I'm alive!' my mind finally registered.
A smile formed on my face whilst my hand rubbed my belly.
How did I miss the van? I could have sworn I hadn't seen a single car.
I made a mental promise never to put my child's life in danger again.
The door to the van opened as I prepared myself for a major scolding.
Instead of a frightening, angry drive. About eight people got out of the van, each with a camera around their necks.
That's when I noticed the big bold letters on the van that read: E-way news.
I was almost bumped by the paparazzi!
As I was about to escape, they surround me and started taking pictures.
I shielded my face with my arm as the cameras continued flashing.
I turned in all directions with no way out.
That's when I felt the last bit of strength that was holding me together slowly come apart.
My eye were whelmed up with tears and I felt my knees weaken.
After a near-death experience all they could do was take pictures. What was wrong with people? As long at it paid people didn't mind tramping all over others.
I heard the sound of screeched tyres, grabbing my attention.
A meter away, a car stopped followed by it's door opening.
"Get in!" The driver yelled.
I wiped my tears to see Tom in the driver's seat.
I thought he was annoying the first time we met but right now I couldn't be any happier to see him.
I pushed past the crowd with all the strength I had left and rushed into the car.
Immediately after I closed the door, the car drove away before I could even put my seat belt on.
Throw the ray view mirror, I noticed the paparazzi still taking pictures.
"Are you okay?" Tom asked, his eyes glued to the road.
His New Zealand accent suddenly sounded like an American one.
I nodded trying to wipe my tears away.
I put my seat belt on and removed the sunglasses.
I held myself into a hug, still a bit shaken.
All I could think about was Alexandra and his words, he warned me that something like this would happen.
Thinking Alex was trying to control me, I refused to listen.
I should have at least given him the benefit of the doubt considering we are from completely different worlds, he surely knows a lot about this.
At least he was stubborn enough to let Tom stick around. I didn't know what I would have done if he hadn't came to my rescue.
My phone rang, bringing me out of my thoughts.
