adopted by zoella

Chapter 7

Zoë and I fuss over Nala for a while and then we just chat for hours. It's so nice to get to know Zoë a bit more then I already do and for her to get to know me. I take out my phone and take a selfie with her and tweet the caption "girly chats with @zoella <3". I press tweet and within seconds my Twitter notifications are exploding with my fans and Zoë's fans telling us how beautiful we both are. They are all so sweet. I tweet again "you are all so sweet" and go through a like some of the reply's. People start fangirling and I smile. It makes me so happy to know I might have made someone else happy, someone else smile. Zoë stands up.
"What do you want for dinner?"
"Pizzaface?" I grin at her; she laughs
"Alright but I really need to start cooking more"
"You always say that"
"That's because I always need to cook more" she laughs.
Zoë and I both order our pizza, pepperoni and cheese (my choice. While we wait for our pizza we watch The Lion King so we can keep watching it while we're eating our pizzas when it arrives.
The pizza arrives and we tuck into the slices whilst chatting and watching the film.
The film ends so we clear away our leftover pizza boxes and plates and decide to go to bed. As i climb into bed I think about today, it was so surreal it was one of the best days of my life.

The sun shines through the window and i hear birds chirping as I sit up and stretch. I glance at the digital clock sitting on my bedside table, 7:08 am. I'm not sure if Zoë's going to be up but I decide to get up anyway and go downstairs. I grab my phone from my desk and walk downstairs.
The kitchen empty so I guess Zoë misty still be asleep. I grab myself a glass and fill it with cold water. I shiver and the cold liquid trickles down my throat.
I sit at the table and open twitter "good morning! <3" and scroll through my feed. I notice everyone on my timeline are messaging Alfie, some nice comments. some mean. I click on a tweet and look at the tweet they are replying to. @pointlessblog: new video up: kicked out my house?? And underneath he's attached the thumbnail, a picture of him with his face in his hands.
Huh, clickbait I forgot he did that I think. I scroll looking at the replys, they vary from things with horrible words I don't want to mention to "I'm so sorry Alfie, you don't deserve this"  but the one that hits me is this "it's Roses fault if she hadn't moved in this wouldn't have happened" which has 52 retweets and 102 likes. Panic floods through me. Wait what? I haven't done anything I scroll to the top again and click on the link he's attached desperately hoping this is some sort of sick joke. The first thing I notice is that it has 1 Million views already and it's only been up for 8 hours. It must have gone viral oh god. It also has 105K thumbs up but 150K thumbs down.
That's good right? Someone's on Zoë and I's side, right?
I sit down, I feel dizzy. This isn't good what's Zoë going to think if she finds out? I don't want her to be upset but I don't think there's much I can do about that.
Should I tell her? No. I can't.
"Good morning Rose!"
I jump, twisting around me so fast I almost fall off my chair. It's Zoë, why was I so scared.
"you ok?" she asks looking concerned.
"yeah, fine I'm just a bit jumpy I guess."
"pancakes?" she asks smilimg. I nod exitedly.
"would you mind taking Nala out?" she asks over her shoulder.
"nope" I wonder over to Nalas bed and let her out, she runs around me exitedly "good morning Nala!" I say leaning down to stroke her. "come on" I take her outside and wait for her to finish. Alfie video pops back into my head. I bite my lip nervously.
Maybe I should tell Zoë..

A little while later we're sitting at the table eating breakfast, Zoë writing a blog post about autumn outfits and me on Twitter and instagram when Zoë looks up suddenly looking concerned.
"are you okay?" I ask worriedly
"yeah well um," she bites her lip, deciding weather or not to tell me something. "have you seen Alfie video?" she asks shyly
"yeah, well kind of.."
"What does he say?"
"well I haven't got as far as watching it yet just seen tweets about it, i feel awful"
"it's not your fault!"
I sigh
If only that were true
"do you want to watch it?" she asks
I nod slowly and unlock my phone. I find the link on my Twitter timeline and, this time, let it load.
Alfie appears on the screen sitting on what looks like Marcus's sofa in a grey Hoodie, his eyes are red and his cheeks tearstained guilt fills me.
"hey guys, so a lot of you may already know but well. Zoë and I broke up. Yep I've said it. Zalfie is no more" he looks down, gulps and continues "we had a fight the night we adopted Rose. I felt that I shouldn't stay there and packed my things and left. She told me she never wanted to seee me again." he looks down again as his eyes fill with tears. Fake tears "if you're watching this Zo, i want you to know I love you and although you probably hate me I want to tell you I'm sorry" he looks down and the screen fades to black.
