I run upstairs and search my room for some sort of bag to put my new vlogging camera in. The only one I have is a the huge rucksack I brought to Zoë's so I just walk downstairs with it in my hand.

"Are you ready to go?" Zoë asks smiling. I not exitedly and Zoë laughs.

"OK let's go"

As we walk out if the house I spot a group of girls, probably about my age, passing and looking up at the house whispering to each other. When one of them spots Zoë and she sqeels and points at her to show the others, they then all turn into screaming fangirls and run up to her.

Zoë just laughs and takes pictures with them and wishes them a good day but I can't help but feel sorry for Zoë. It must be hard for her to not be able to go out without being stopped at least once.

Once we're in Brighton we walk around and chat as if we've know each other forever. Its so surreal and I have to pinch my self to remind myself I'm not dreaming.

We stop in a cute little tea shop in the lanes and get cupcakes and hot chocolate each. All thoughts of Alfie and what happed last night forgotten.

"So" I say trying to think of something interesting to say.

"So what was it like in your care home? I understand if you don't want to talk about it." She asks thinking of an interesting topic for me

"Well, it was alright I guess. I mean the other children there weren't as horrible as some children in other care homes can be. It was mostly Mr Jones I hated, he was horrible" Zoë opens her mouth to say something but the little shop bell chiming to show someone just walked in the stops her. She freezes.

"Zoë? Are you alright?" I ask worried. Who could have just walked in? I turn around in my chair to see the one and only Alfie Deyes standing at the door. I shoot him a death glare and stand up. Zoë stands up slowly from across the table and together we walk out of the shop, abandoning out half eaten cakes and our now cold hot chocolate.

Outside the shop I turn to Zoë and see she's shaking tears streaming down her face and she's breathing heavily. I lead her to the other nearest café. I sit Zoë down at the table and ask the girl behind the counter for some water.

"Thank you so much" I say as she hands me a ice cold glass of water. She smiles

"Any time." I walk back to the table where Zoë is sitting and hand her the glass of water. She seems to have calmed down a bit now.

"Thank you" She whispers.

"Are you alright?" I ask her. She takes a gulp of her water and smiles.

"I am now, thank you so much Rose"

"It's alright I'm glad you're ok." We sit in silence for the next couple of minutes, Zoë sips her water and I just play with my hair thinking about how much I hate Alfie right now. Zoë sighs and looks at me.

"I'm so sorry Rose. I really didn't want this to happen, I wanted us to have an amazing day shopping and I just ruined it." She looks down.

"No you didn't! I've still had a great time and besides we've only just got here we have loads of shopping to do!" She looks up and smiles.

"You ready to go shopping then?"

"Of course!"

"Then let's go shopping!" We both stand up and leave the café I walk up to the girl at the counter and give her £5 and thank her for helping us, she smiles and waves as we walk out.

The sun shines down on us warming my skin and I breathe in the summer air. I can smell the sea not to far away from us and take in the scenery. It's not too busy as it's a Monday morning and most people are at work. Only a few people walk past, Girls and Boys with their parents and a couple of worried looking people rushing to work. Zoë and I turn and walk further into Brighton pulling our vlogging cameras and starting to vlog.

We go into Boots and then Superdrug for me to get a new lipstick but we kind of ending up buying a new mascara and a couple of nail varnishes (or fake nails in Zoë's case) then we head into topshop and get a bit too exited at the new autumn collection that just came in, even though it's still half way through the summer holidays and we have no need to start even thinking about buying autumn clothes, but we end up giving in a buying some super cute skirts and jumpers we just couldn't not buy. We continue going in and out of shops until our arms are full of bags and we've run out if other shops to go in.

"I guess I'm going to have it film a haul" I say exited to try on all of my new clothes and makeup.

"Same here" We stop for lunch at a place called Cafe Coho

"I think we should go home after this don't you?" Zoë asks

"Yep I'm pretty sure we've been in every shop in Brighton" I laugh

"So did you have fun?"

"Yep so much fun Zoë I'd love to do this more with you"

"We have to"

We finish our lunch and head out of the café and begin to walk to Zoë's car.

"Would you mind if Louise came round with Darcy tomorrow?" Zoë asks.

"No not at all, I'd love to meet them!"

"Ok great I'll ask her if she wants to come" Zoë says happily.

Omg I'm going to get to meet Louise and Darcy tomorrow. I'm going to meet Louise and Dacry tomorrow. I still don't seem to be able to get over that I have been adopted by Zoë. Which means I'll eventually get to meet all of the youtubers. All of the people I've only ever known and seem through a screen.

A/N and I'm back updating again. Oml it's been so long since I last updated this story whet. I'm going to try and update every week? Maybe depending on how nice my teachers are feeling when it comes to homework haha. I did manage 1000 words in this part though ooo. I probably won't have them this long in the future. OK I'm going to stop rambling now byeeeee.
