I sat there in a deep dark hole, of which is my pit of despair and sadness. I am overcome by emotions the good, the bad the horrific, all at once it's too overwhelming. what is happening? What have I done?

It's about 11 p.m I'm on the couch with Zoe and Nala. Whilst eating a pizza our usual, pepperoni and pineapple. I take a bite, Mmm The same satisfying taste pizza always has. The T.V is on and "Pretty Little Liars" is playing which of course was Zoe's pick. I look over at her. She's as stunning as ever, even in sweatpants and a t-shirt, she couldn't be more beautiful. I watch as she takes a bite of her pizza the cheese slips off, landing on Nala who is on Zoe's lap. I laugh and pick  the cheese off of Nala. Zoe giggles "Alfie, are you even watching?" She nudges me. " Uh... No not really" I admit, she laughs and scoots closer to me. "It's okay little one, as long as I'm with you it doesn't matter what we're doing or watching" I lower my head and we touch foreheads. She looks up and flashes a smile that warms my entire soul. What did I do to deserve a woman as amazing as Zoe? My thoughts are interrupted by a little puppy crawling onto my lap and licking my face. "Quit it!" I laugh and give Nala a cuddle, she then proceeds to lick Zoe's face. At this point we're both laughing hysterically with this happy little pug in the middle of us. Suddenly the doorbell rings. "Who is that?" Zoe asks me. "I don't know" I ponder for a moment then get up. "I'll get it", I walk over to the door wondering who would come to our house this late at night? My mind is filled with thoughts as I unlock and turn the doorknob. Standing on our doorstep is a large man who, might I add looks like he could beat me up in his sleep. He has curly brown hair and dark eyes. "Hello, you must be Alfie" he grins, a twinkle of madness in his dark eyes, they feel like voids of despair. I take notice of the dark bags under his eyes. I've got a really bad feeling about this guy. Instinctively I try to shut the door as quick as possible, but he's much more stronger than I am. "Alfie? Who is it?" Zoe calls. But I can't answer her, I put all my strength into pushing the door, but he shoves it right open and sends me staggering backwards. He approaches me and slams me into the wall. "Who the hell are you!?" I choke on my words as he slams me harder against the wall. I struggle against his strength and gasp for air. "I'm Evan" he says. His words are cold, his expression stern. I notice a vein pulsing from his neck as he strangles me. Evan... I think I've heard that name before.. But where? I try to escape his grasp but he only tightens his grip. Evan reaches into his back pocket and pulls out a gun. "Why are you doing this!?!" I croak as he aims his gun at my head. At that exact moment, Zoe comes rushing in with Nala running beside her. She freezes, her eyes widen as she stares at Evan. He lowers his gun and loosens his grip when he sees Her. "Z-Zoe?" He stutters. Wait a minute.. they know each other?! How?! "Evan" Zoe says with a much different tone from her usual perky voice. As she speaks I can hear anger, terror and..something else I can't quite put my finger on...
