Can This Be True? { A Zalfie Fanfic }

Zoe

I was so excited for the party I could hardly stand it. I wanted to get to know the ever famous Jack and Finn more and I also wanted to spend more time with Alfie, now that I had realized my true feelings for him. The whole cab ride there I kept whispering to Louise, telling her how I felt about my friend. She just gave me a knowing smile, like she had known this was coming for a very long time.

We got to the party a bit before everyone else. The only person who was there other than the twins was Marcus. The minute we entered Jack came up to me and Louise and pulled us away to talk. I saw Alfie sit on the couch all alone and wanted to go over and talk to him, but Jack begged me to stay. I sighed and listened to his boring story about his trip to South Africa, but I wasn't listening, I was thinking about Alfie.

The party started to get better when Louis showed up, and then Caspar. Just then I heard someone talking and looked up at Finn. He was rambling on about something, I couldn't really hear him and I didn't regeister what it was about. Just then though Alfie ran up to him and punched him in the face. I gasped, still having no idea what it was that Finn had said to make Alfie so angry. Before I knew it, Jack had run up to protect his brother and kicked Alfie in the gut. 

At this point I felt as if I was going to panic. This was too much to handle, why had I even agreed to go to this party in the first place? I ran up to Jack and slapped him. "What was that for?" I shouted. Everyone was looking at us, but I didn't care. I knelt down by Alfie started to stroke his forehead. I was worried about him.

What was going on with everyone tonight? Finn most definitely could not have said something that bad. I knew the guy and he would never do such a thing. But I also knew Alfie and he wouldn't punch someone unless heavily provoked. I didn't know what to think anymore. 

"Marcus," I called. I needed someone to help me clean Alfie up and get him home. "Can you bring Alfie into the spare bedroom?" I asked, he nodded and picked his friend up carrying him down the hall. I stood up and brushed my self off. "You dickhead," I spat at Jack before following Marcus into the bedroom.

It was dark in the bedroom and I turned on the light. Marcus had gotten Alfie situated on the bed with pillows and everything. I groaned and sank into a chair. "What the hell was that all about?" I asked. Marcus said nothing and just continued to fuss about with Alfie. No one was giving me a straight answer for anything anymore. 

I started to shake, I was so angry. Everyone was being exceptionally stupid tonight. Jack, Finn, even Marcus was blatantly ignoring me. "Marcus, I asked you a question!" I shouted. He just stood up and left the room. I glared at his back as he left. I knew that we would forgive each other later, but it still pained me that we were in a fight. 

Now just me and Alfie were together. I moved my chair closer to his side and continued to stroke his forehead. I really hoped that he was alright. If not I was going to kill Jack. A wave of lust suddenly came upon me watching Alfie there with his eyes closed. I leaned down and kissed him on the forehead softly, before exiting the room, to talk to Louise about what had just happened.
