chapter 4

I'm wake to the sound of raised voices.

Worried, I shoot up trying to make out what they are saying but it is to muffled for me to pick out any proper words.

I slowly creep out of bed and make my way to Alfie and Zoë's room being cearful to be quiet so they don't know I'm there. I place my ear against the door and listen to them. i know i should't be eavesdropping but i just really want to see whats wrong with them.

"im sorry Zo i just can't, you know what happed to her." Alfies voice.

"but you where fine with it this moring, in fact you could't wait to get there" Zoë this time.

"that was before zo, shes i dont know she just looks to familier." familiar? how? i step back in shock. who do i look like? and why does this have anything to do with Zoë and Alfie?

"dont tell me you don't see her in her eyes Zo"

silence.

"I, I do. but it cant be her she, she died a baby" Zoë says shocked. I stare wide eyed at the door. I cant beleve what im hearing. Am I supposed to be, dead?

"but maybe she didn't" Alfie says sternly.

"But, she wouldn't lie to us about something like that? Would she?" Zoë whispers in disbelief.

"You know what she's like Zo, of course she would, I know my sister better than anyone." His sister? But poppy wouldn't lie, surely.

"Is this why you've been acting so strangely around her?" Zoë whispers.

"I just don't want to have anything to do with her in my life" he says sadly.

"It'll be alright."

"But it won't, I know her Zo, I know her better than anyone else and I know the monument she finds out Rose is with us she'll be back and I don't think I can handle that again. I want her to go Zo I can't live with her daughter."

Pain floods though me, I don't want to go back, I don't want to feel unwanted again. I slowly turn to walk back to my bedroom I might as well pack, I'll be leaving in the morning.

"No." I jump and run back to the door.

"No, I don't want her to go Alfie, I can't let her go back to that place."

"I can't live with her Zo, I just can't."

"Alfie please, it'll be fine you'll see."

"No, I won't see, I'm leaving." Guilt fills me, sending me into a meltdown, hot tears trickle down my face as I realise:

I just broke up Zalfie.

I stand there stunned so when Alfie opens the door with a small bag and some money, I'm still standing just staring into space. He shoots me an angry glare, filled with venom and leaves. Moments later I hear the front door slam and the house is filled with silence. All I can hear is Zoë's quiet sobbing from the other side of the door.

"Zoë?" I ask quietly peering around the door. Their bedroom is a mess with clothes thrown everywhere and the bed unmade. Zoë sits on the edge of the bed sobbing and shaking.

I cry even more at the sight of her

I did this, it's all my fault.

I sit down on the bed next to me her and wrap my arms around her

"I'm sorry" I whisper "and I understand if you don't want me here anymore,"

A/N OMG I'm so sorry I'm officially the slowest author on wattpad I had writer block for ages and then I thought why not end the chapter here? (Please don't hate me) also I'm sorry but the next chapter will be a slow update because I've got an exam week and I kind of left all of my revision until the last minute I don't recommend doing that at all because now I've got a ton of last minute revision to do yay
Also sorry the authors note is not in bold I got an iPad and I'm not sure if you can type in bold on here if you can I am yet to discover it.
Ok I've gotta go because I'm meant to be having a bath but I really wanted to get this chapter up ok sorry again for the slow updates
Bye
