Zoe://
I woke up sweating and immediately jolted upright. I looked next to me and Alfie was led there fast asleep.
"Alfie, please wake up" I whispered.
He moved his arm and pulled me closer towards him and kissed my cheek.
"Good morning, are you okay liccle one?" His morning voice is seriously hot.
"I just had a nightmare" I cried as tears streamed down my face.
"It's okay, your safe I promise" he whispered, sitting up and cradling me in his arms. I felt his warmth and slowly calmed down.
"Better?" He whispered.
"A bit, thank you" I muttered to him.
"Am I going to have to go to school on Monday?" Tears started flowing down my face again.
"No, the police said a week to recover and plus your eyes are still a bit black and swollen baby, they need time to heal first" he stroked my hair and cheek.
"You can stay with me" I smiled.
"No, I have to go to school and get the gossip" he smirked.
"You'll be okay, your mum will be here to look after you and I'll stay over all week" he smiled, attempting to cheer me up.
I sighed and nuzzled my sore head into his shoulder. It felt warm and protective, I knew that, whatever happens, I'd be safe with him by my side.

The rest of the day mainly consisted of watching movies and eating food. That was until Marcus came over.
Its about 4 o'clock and myself and Alfie are watching 101 Dalmatians.
"Zoe? You have a guest!" I heard my mum shout up the stairs.
"Tell them to come up" I called back, imagining it to be Tanya. I stood up from Alfie's arms and stretched. I was wearing shorts, fluffy socks and a tshirt, whilst Alfie was in some Nike joggers and a white and black flower printed top.
"Zo?" I heard an extremely familiar voice chant.
"Butt butt?" I grinned back to him as he came into my door way. I hugged him tight as he greeted Alf.
Suddenly he froze.
"Who did that? Was it you?" He said pointing to Alfie.
"No no no no Marcus... I'll explain" I quickly butted in. I loved the way Marcus protects me, he's like a brother and always has been.
He sat down on my bed as I went back to cuddling Alfie. I then began explaining to him what happened and by the end of it, he looked just about ready to kill Joe Weller.
"Thank you Alfie" he praised.
"No problem dude" he weakly smiled in reply.
"Please don't tell anyone what happened though Marcus" I pleaded, looking him straight in the eye ball.
"Of course I won't zobo head" he ruffled my hair and patted my shoulder gently. Alfie's grip tightened on my and I kissed his lips softly and quickly, just to remind him that I'm his, he knows that Marcus would never be threat, he has Niomi after all.
"Basically, I came round to talk about Nims"
Spoke to soon.
"What's up with her?" I questioned. His face displayed a look of pure worry and sadness almost, I hated seeing him like this over my best friend.
"Shes been really down recently, she tells herself that she's ugly and fat and worthless, I- i- um-" a tear fell down his cheek.
"I found scars on her wrists, fresh, they were covered with plasters but she didn't cover up the older ones" he full on cried into my neck.
I cried with him. How could I not know? I'm so stupid!
"I spoke to Lou yesterday but she said she didn't know anything about it and that she will talk to her today and take her out shopping, I don't know what to do Zo"
I was in utter shock. I looked at him, his face red and eyes blood shot from crying.
"It will get better, I promise" I hugged him and Alfie did to.
"Right, I need to go but please talk to her Zoe, please, I hope you get well soon, nice seeing ya Alf" he got up and waved as he walked out my bedroom door.
I fell back into Alfie's arms and cried my heart out. He wipes under my eyes with the corner of the blanket and tucked my hair behind my ears. I then picked up my phone and dialled Nimbobs number.
(N=Niomi/Z=Zoe)
N- hey
Z- where are you?
N- just got back home from being with Louise, why?
Z- come round now
N- but I need-
Z- now!
I hung up the phone.
"Harsh" Alfie's eyes were wide.
"She would come otherwise, she'll be about five minutes, I love you very very much but please could you go downstairs or see Joseph whilst we talk" I pleaded with him.
"Yeah course, I'll go get some clothes, catch up with my mum and see your brother and play Xbox with him for a bit and if your still chatting then, then I will go and chat to your mum" he grinned at me. See, this is why I love him. Mind you, it's prolly because he's sick to the back teeth of me and wants and needs a break.
******
5 mins later, Alfie kissed my lips as Niomi walked into my bedroom, he whispered hi as he walked out and shut the door behind him.
"What happened to your face?" She gushed.
"What happened to your arms?" I stricked back.
We looked at eachother with wide eyes before we both burst into tears for about the 10th time today, I was fricking crying... AGAIN.
"I'll tell you then you've got to promise to tell me" I smiled gently and whilst I held out my pinky finger to her.
"Don't tell this to anyone nimbobs" I said sternly, then began telling the whole story over again and it was within seconds that she began crying and hugging me.
"Now tell me" I quickly remembered.
"Joe Weller told me once that I looked like a slut and it me made me more upset than it probly should have, he then called me ugly and he wouldn't stop with the constant name calling, it lowered my self esteem until...I couldn't take it anymore... I'm so sorry Zoe!!" She cried.
"Now go and tell Marcus this, he loves you and wants to help you nimbob" I whispered as I rubbed her back carefully.
"Okay, thank you so much, I love you, get well soon." She got up of the bed after one ginormous hug and waved goodbye to me.
"Alfieeee" I shouted, hoping that he was with Joseph.
"Coming!!" He yelled back.
He trudged in through the door and kissed my head.
"She's gone to see Marcus baby" I said leaning my head up and towards his soft lips and kissing them gently.
"Good" he smiled and hugged me tightly.
"I love you Alf"
"I love you more liccle one"A/n
