*Alfie's POV*
11;30 AM. Little one's shoot must be almost over. My phone buzzes and when I check, I see that Sage is calling me. This never happens, so this felt very weird."Hello?" I speak, after picking up the phone.
"Hello, Alfie?" She asks.
"Yes, Sage. What's happened?"
"Alfie, today morning Zoe had texted me she was going to arrive 10 minutes late, not an hour and a half late."
"Whoa, hold up what?"
I was confused at this point. Zoe was not at her photoshoot? Zoe never missed anything like this. Even if she was busy, she would get it rescheduled. However, she wasn't busy neither had the photoshoot rescheduled. This was getting more and more weird.
"Alfie, Zoe didn't come for the photoshoot. We tried her cell but it just goes to voicemail every time. You think you can ask and call me back?"
Shit. What just happened?
"Yeah, sure. I am, however, a bit busy so if I don't text you, just give me a call or text me and I'll reply whatever news I have till then."
Lies. I had nothing today. My book signing in London was in about a week. But before that, nothing.
As soon as I put down the phone, I call Zoe.
"Hello?" Its a male voice.
"Uhm.. Is Zoe there?"
"Yes, Zoe is here. But who are you?"
"I am Alfie, her boyfriend. And may I ask who you are?"
"Oh, I'm just the receptionist on this floor." Wait, what? That made no sense.
"Uhh.. I don't think I understand what you're trying to say."
"Zoe Sugg, your girlfriend, is in a coma."
No, wait. What?
"But she was perfectly fine till today morning! What happened?"
"I'm sorry, I can't give away these details on the phone. However, if you come to the hospital, I can tell you what happened."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
I put down the phone and ending the call. I sink down to the floor and start crying. This shouldn't have happened to her.
About 5 minutes later, the doorbell rings. I open the door and Marcus and Niomi are standing there.
"Hell- Alfie what's wrong?" Marcus said, his expression changing from happy to worried.
I just hugged him and cried on his shoulder for a minute.
I then got my head up but stayed silent.
"Alfie, please tell us! Maybe we can help." Niomi said.
"Zoe had a photoshoot at 10;30. She left 10 minutes late because she overslept. When she left I started watching TV. At 11;30, Sage called me and told her that Zoe didn't come for the photoshoot. She also said that whenever she called Zoe, it went to voicemail. So, I decided to call her. A male person picked up the phone and asked me who I was. Once I had introduced myself, I asked him who he was. To which he replied that he was the receptionist. I was confused but he told me that Zoe was in a coma."
I sobbed ending my little speech. Both Marcus and Niomi came and hugged me. Marcus said that he'll take me to the hospital.
"That's the least I could do for you, Alfie." He said, smiling.
We got into Marcus' car and went to the hospital. When we reached there, I ran to the reception.
"Which room is Zoe Sugg in?" I asked.
The receptionist looked up from the computer.
"Oh, you must be Alfie Deyes. Yes, I talked to you on the phone. First of all, here's Zoe's phone. Second, she's in the room 56. Just take the lift there and go to the 2nd floor, its on the left hand side."
"Thank you. Also you said that you would tell me how she went into a coma?" I asked.
"Oh, yes. Actually, there was an accident. Zoe's car got crashed. The other driver crashed the driver's side. Zoe isn't hurt much, just a few bruises. But she went into a coma."
I nodded, and left to the lift. I heard Marcus say a 'thanks' and join me along with Niomi.
We reached the room and a doctor came out from room 56. I quickly ran up to him and asked him how she was.
"Well, apart from the bruises, she's in a coma. We can't tell exactly when she's going to get up from it, but if its not before 6 months, we'll have to pull the machines and declare her dead."
"Okay." I said, nodding my head. As soon as I returned to Marcus and Niomi, I fell down on the ground, crying. Niomi ran towards me.
"Alfie, calm down. First tell us what the doctor said."
I saw Marcus standing right behind Niomi. I told them everything that the doctor told me.
Niomi's eyes started watering. Just then, I remembered that I haven't called Joe, Graham or Tracy.
I pick up my phone and call Joe.
"Hello?" He says cheerily.
"Hey, Joe."
"Alfie, can I call you later? I'm filming a video."
"Actually, Joe. I could've talked later but this is super important. Its about your sister." My voice cracked at the end.
"What happened to her, Alfie?" His voice sounded tensed.
"Joe, she's in a coma. She was hit by a car and even though there's not much injury, she's in a coma."
Joe laughed.
"Alfie, this has to be a prank call."
"Ask Marcus and Niomi, then."
I put the phone on speaker.
"Marcus, tell him what I said was true."
"Joe, he isn't joking. He's being dead serious."
"Alright, where are you?"
"St. Helen's Hospital (made that up js)"
"I'll be there in a minute."
I ended the call and called Graham and Tracey, and told them this.
They said that they'd arrive in as soon as possible.
After that, we stayed silent. No one was in the mood to talk. None of us.
Crappy ending sorry
Sorry this is bit sadder, but I'll try to get Zoe to wake up soon enough! Just not that soon..
