Out Of Touch. - a Caspar Lee Fan Fiction - discontinued UFN

Chapter 12

I don't remember falling asleep last night. Caspar told me to call him half an hour after I hung up on him... I guess that never happened.

My head was lying in Zoe's lap and her legs were curled up underneath me. I wonder if she was like that all night.

She will be as stiff as concrete when she wakes up. I carefully move off her and go to make myself a coffee.

Everything that happened last night keeps running through my head.

I wonder if Caspar remembered that I was meant to call him half an hour later. Probably not. He could hardly string a sentence together, let alone remember something he told me to do a half hour before it was meant to happen. I'm glad I didn't call. I would've just gotten more disappointed in him.

When Zoe wakes up and we both have coffee, I will call Caspar. He's probably trying to recover from his first proper hangover.

He might still be drunk. He might've never stopped drinking.

Zoe stirs on the couch but doesn't wake up yet.

I turn on the kettle to boil some water so that when she wakes up, the water will be ready.

I glance up as she stretches on the couch, waking up.

"Morning sleepy head." I say smiling.

"Morning." She says tiredly.

"What do you want to do today?" I ask.

"Anything you want. I am not going anywhere or doing anything that takes effort though." she laughs.

"Oh no way!" I say, agreeing. "We just need to call Caspar sometime later and see how he's going."

"Definitely. He was out of control..." Zoe says, trailing off.

"We'll call him later, yeah?" I asked.

"Okay." Zoe said smiling.

We hear a knock on the door.

I looked at Zoe with confusion, not having any idea who it could be and she returned my confused look.

I pulled her with me to the door and looked out the peep hole. There was a police officer there.

"Its police." I whispered, giving Zoe a concerned look.

She looked at me with a kind of sympathetic look and I knew what she was thinking.

She opened the door. A tall man with dark hair and pale skin opened the door.

"Yes?" Zoe said kindly.

"Uh hello ladies. Do you live here?" The officer said.

"We do." I answered quickly. "Is there a problem officer?"

"I'm Constable Herrand," he explained, holding his badge to prove he wasn't a phony.  "I'm afraid I've got some bad news. Would you mind if I came in for coffee? It might be a lot to take in." He continued.

I opened the door a bit wider and led him inside. I quickly glanced over at Zoe, fear clearly lacing her face. I was starting to panic.

I led Constable to the couch and offered him to take a seat.

I sat on the couch closest to him while Zoe stayed in the kitchen to make coffee.

"So what's happened?" I asked eagerly, but worry flooded my mind. What if Caspar or Joe had died? What if they were in hospital - from a car crash, or a fight? They weren't in a good state at all last night.

"The other two boys that live here, Caspar Lee and Joe Sugg? I suspect they're your boyfriends?" Constable Herrand asked. Zoe could hear from the kitchen.

"Her boyfriend is Caspar and Joe is my younger brother. Oh and Joe and I are Charlie's cousins." Zoe called out loud enough for him to hear her.

She brought a tray out to the lounge room with the coffees on it and placed it on the coffee table.

She sat on the other couch but tried to get in close as well, as we were both very anxious to find out what the hell was going on.

"There has been an accident. Involving both of them." He said.

"What happened?!" I asked immediately.

"Nobody knows how it all started but a man named Lucas Crowley punched Caspar in the stomach and then Joe kicked Lucas in the chest and he fell to the ground. You can imagine how much it blew up." he told us, "The two boys are in hospital but Joe's injuries are more serious than Caspar's. Caspar just had a few cuts and bruises and a black eye but Joe has a broken leg.

"We asked witnesses how it happened but nobody remembers because they were heavily intoxicated and some people were under the influence of more than one drug. They have been arrested for possession of illegal drugs." Constable Herrand finished.

"Thank you for telling us." I said with a forced smile.

I glanced at Zoe, she was frozen, staring deep into space. I decided to leave her for a few minutes while I showed the officer out of our house.

I thanked him and he smiled and made his way to his car and got in.

When I saw that he had left the driveway and driven away, I went back to Zoe.

"Hey, Zo?" I asked waving my hand on front if her face in her line of sight.  I didn't get too close because I know how annoying that is.

"My baby brother has broken his leg and has serious injuries. Because of a coward trying to hit his best friend!" Zoe screamed, clearly outraged at the news.

"I know Zoe, all we can do is visit them regularly aand make sure they're okay. I'm very angry too but what's happened has happened. We can't help it, we weren't there."

Hey sorry I haven't been uploading the best lately. There is a lot going on and its hard to keep up! Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter! Xx
