Disclaimer: so lol i wrote this when i was 11 so please don't judge the grammar and cheesyness omg thanks kids!

Zoe's pov: "Alfie please! Stop! Ow!" I feel tears streaming down my face and I feel worthless and small. "Shut up Zoe! Or I swear to God I'll really hurt you!" He said as he hit me on last time. 6th time this month he has abused me. I don't know what I have done. 

"Don't even think about telling anyone." He said roughly. "Or you'll find your self in a pain you can't describe." He whispered coldly in my ear. He walked out the door like nothing happened.
I sit on the floor and cry. Why is he doing this? What have I done? This has been going on for a month and I really can't deal with it any longer! But I can't take the risk of telling anyone. I know what Alfie is capable of. I sit up and count my bruises. 27. And most of the are black and deep purple. Alfie has been so distant lately. Always at meetings and at secret sessions. What have I done to deserve this? Subscribers have told me that when I tell them about my bad experiences, it helps them realise that it happens to everyone and we are all in this together. I sit down at my Mac and open up a new blog post. I read the comments from last weeks post. Last week Alfie abused me twice. So I wanted to talk about how sometimes you fall down but you get back up. That sort of thing.
"Are you okay Zoe? You don't seem like your usual self." "Zoe, I've been reading your blog for years and nothing could prepare me for what I just read. Love from Australia I hope you and Alfie are doing well."
I didn't realise how depressed I must have sounded. I wasn't in a very good headspace then. Luckily Alfie doesn't read my blog.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I wait for Louise outside Starbucks. She is due to meet me here at 12:30 it's now 12:28. I see her car in the distance and her face getting frustrated as she tries to find a parking spot. I look at my phone while I'm waiting for Lou, hoping there will be a ding or a notification. Then I hear the biggest squeal ever!
"Chummy!!" She screams.
"Chummy!" I scream.
We collide in a giant hug. I'm so happy to see her. I haven't seen her since vidcon and even though she is leaving tomorrow I want to spend as much time with her as I can to take my mind off everything at home.
Zoe: "How are you?!"
Louise: "well.."
Zoe: OMG what!
Louise: "I'm pregnant!"
Zoe: "OMG LOU IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! HOW FAR ALONG??"
Louise: "6 weeks!"
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
When we order our drinks we sit at the back corner to talk in private so no one judges our squeals and excitement!
Louise: "So how is Alfie?"
Zoe: "No no no, your pregnant lets talk about you!
Louise: "We have spend the last sat 20 minutes taking about me lets talk about someone else."
I feel a bit anxious. I don't know what to say. But its Louise I can trust her.
Louise: "Zoe? Is something wrong?"
Zoe: "Uhh.. Well.. He has been spending a lot of time at YouTube conferences and meetings lately. And I'm not aware of any new merch coming out or anything. So I don't know."
I break down. I've never cried so much. I've been through a lot. The person I love is destroying me. Should I tell Louise?
Louise: "Hey it's okay. Calm down honey. Just let it all out. You can trust me.
Since we are on the topic of Alfie, At vidcon I don't know if I saw something else but I was noticing Tanya and Alfie spending a lot of time together and I swear even holding hands at one point."
Zoe: "No it's not true, you must have seen something else!"
I lie. I know that Alfie would do something like that but hearing it from someone else makes me feel sick.
But then everything falls into place. How he didn't sleep in the same room as me. How he went to karaoke with Tanya almost every night and forced me to stay in bed, how when we were on stage and he was glued to her the whole time. Then everything went black.
Louise: ZOE?! ZOE?! WAKE UP!!!!
