Zoe’s POV.
“Beep, beep, beep, beep.” The alarm clock yelled. I woke up puzzled, and I looked over at the clock.
“SHIT. Alfie, it’s 8.30! WAKE UP!”
“Right. No time for shower, just get changed, and we’ll go!”
I hopped out of bed, changed into a lose tank top, some leggings, and vans. I topped it off with a cardigan, and my hair in a top not. I had no time for makeup, so I’d do it on the train as we had hours. I grabbed the bag I packed last night, and headed into the kitchen. Even thought there was already snacks in the bag, I put some more stuff in as I knew we’d get hungry. I didn’t put in drinks as we would get some at the station.. cold. I hesitated to make Alfie a coffee as he probably wanted one, but again, he’d get one at the station.
“Got the keys Alf?”
“Yep, just putting on my shoes.”
“Right, we’ve got 15 minutes to get there, buy tickets, and get on. Hurry!”
“Ready!”
We headed downstairs, and began to walk to the train station. It was spring, so it wasn’t cold, but it wasn’t hot. Once we arrived we bought our tickets, headed over to the shop and bought some drinks, and went and sat down to wait on our train.
“I’m nervous. What if he asks us to leave?”
“Zoe. He’s your brother. Just apologise.”
“What did I ever do Alfie?”
“I don’t know. Why is he mad at you?”
“I said he was a dick. He’s quitting youtube Alfie. If it weren’t for youtube, he wouldn’t of met that Ella, or whatever she’s called. And he’s throwing away what got him to where he is.”
“I see. And the trains here. Come on, we don’t want to miss it.”
We jumped, well didn’t exactly jump, but you know what I mean, onto the train, found our seats and sat down.
“Hey I should call Joe. Not tell him we’re coming, just catch up.. We did used to be roommates.” Alfie said as the train left Brighton.
“Okay.”
Alfie’s POV.
I punched in Joe’s number, and waited for him to pick up.
*call*
“Hello?”
“Hi Joe. It’s Alfie.”
“Hey Alf. How you doing?”
“Fine, apart from the fact you wont talk to your sister.”
“Look Bro. I’m not talking to you about Zoe. She needs to apologise.”
“But when she calls you, you never pick up.”
“Alfie. Seriously. I’m not talking to you about Zoe.”
“Fine. How’s life for you up in Scotland. I feel like I haven’t spoken to you in years. Bro, I miss you.”
“Life’s good. Ella and I have a house. And Alfie, I want to marry her. She’s perfect. She makes me happy, she… She likes me for who I am. I love her.”
“I understand Joe, but if she right for you? She made you think about quitting youtube.”
“Whatever you have heard, here’s the truth. She didn’t make me quit. I am slowly not uploading. It is better for me. I spend 24 hours out of a week filming, uploading, editing, and stuff. I don’t have enough time with her. It works for you and Zoe, but you both do youtube.”
“Bro, you can work it out—”
“Alfie. I’m serious. This is what I want to do, and it’s better for me.”
“Right. Whatever. Zoe and I are on the train going to London, she want’s to speak to you. Please do it man. She misses you.”
“How do I know your not lying?”
“Joe, she cries every night feeling bad that you guys don’t talk.”
“Right, hand the phone over.”
“Thanks man. Talk soon yeah?”
“Yeah. Talk soon.”
*Passes phone to Zoe.*
Zoe’s POV.
“Hi.. Joe…It’s Zo—…. Zo.. Zoe Sugg.”
“Hi Zoe Sugg.”
“Oh for god’s sake Joe. It’s me, Zoe.”
“I’m not talking to you if your gonna insult me.”
“I’m not, it’s just.. nothing. Joe I miss you. I really do. I hate not talking to you.”
“Well, you did insult me, accuse me for finding a girl that is perfect for me, and called me dick.. So that’s maybe why I don't talk to you..”
“God Joe. You won’t put anything in the past, will you. You want to make people suffer don’t you.”
“Well it’s your fault, not mine.”
“Joe, do one thing for me. Put everything in the past for just 5 minutes while I talk to you please.”
“What are you getting at Zo—”
“Joe! Will you?”
“Yes. What is it?”
“I wanted to let you know that I still love you more than anything.”
“What about Alfie?”
“Joe! Shut up!
“Your my brother, and I’ll always love you as cheesy as it sounds. And I want you to know that… Alfie asked me to marry him yesterday. I just.. I just thought you would want to know before the veiwers found out.”
“You said yes?”
“I did Joe… I’m going to get married to the one I love.”
“Zoe. I’m so sorry for ignoring you. I feel bad all the time for not trying to get a hold of you, when you’ve called. Congratulations.”
“I love you Joe.”
“I love you Zoe.——— No one Ella.—— No I’m not.. No I swear.”
“Joe what’s going on?”
“Ella.. I’m not cheating———No you don’t get it.”
“Joe?!”
“ZOE IS MY SISTER ELLA! STOP HITTING ME!”
“Joe! Hello?!”
*2 minutes later after waiting on the phone with silence*
“Sorry Zoe. Ella thought I was cheating on her when I told you that I loved you. She didn’t quite recognise the name.”
“It’s okay. Hey. Are you really quitting youtube?”
“Yes Zoe. This is what I want to do. I’m so sorry.”
“I understand. Hey I’ve got to go, I’ll talk to you again soon. Yeah?”
“Of course. I love you….ZOE.”
“I love you too…JOE. Hahaha!”
*end of call*
“All sorted out then?” Alfie asked.
“Yes. All sorted out.” I said as I looked out the window, cringing from happiness.
