Can This Be True? { A Zalfie Fanfic }

Alfie

The night had been amazing so far. Zoe and I had gotten Nandos and we had watched her favourite film. I could tell that she was so happy and that was all that I cared about. If Zoe was happy then I was happy as well. 

I started to get tired after the movie and decided to get ready for bed before saying a final goodnight to Zoe. I had also planned that we would sleep together in my bed. No, not have sex, just sleep together. I thought that would be so romantic and sweet and all of that sappy stuff, just like The Notebook. 

After I had brushed my teeth and flossed I brushed my hair. Yes I know, I brushed my hair. Then I walked out to say goodnight to Zoe. That was when I saw them. Caspar had shoved himself upon Zoe and they were kissing. 

I could feel the tears start to well in my eyes. The saltiness stinging my eyes and then I felt ashamed. I shouldn't be crying, anyway it was now completely obvious that Zoe didn't like me the way I had always liked her. She had found someone knew, Caspar. She was always like this jumping from man to man. Why did I not see this coming?

I didn't know what to do, I was so shocked and at a loss of actions. I just walked out of the apartment and returned Caspar the rude hand gesture that he had given me earlier. I didn't know where to go and I quickly realized how bloody cold it was outside. I didn't have my phone, and I had no money at all. Well this was just great. 

In the end I decided to just hole out in the lobby and wait until they had gone to bed. Then I would collect all my stuff and go spend the rest of the weekend with Marcus in Brighton.

After about three hours I decided it was safe to go back up to my apartment. I snuck in quietly being very thankful that Caspar hadn't looked the door. That was the only thing I was thanking him for at this point though. I didn't see Zoe or her stuff and had no idea where she was. I knew that she hadn't left though because I didn't see her leave the building. 

I walked into my bedrooom to grab my stuff for my stay at Marcus' and smiled. Zoe was lying on my bed sleeping very soundly. Then I frowned, why was I happy to see her? This person who had betrayed me. No, I was not glad that she was here sleeping in my bed. I left very quickly after having grabbed everything that I needed.

Luckily there was a train to Brighton that was leaving in one hour. I just sat on the platform and waited the entire time. There were only two other people on my train seeing as it was 12 past 2 in the morning. I sighed, so many things had gone wrong tonight. It just shows how something can go from being so right to being so absolutely crap. 

On the train I pulled my phone out of boredom and tweeted 'When you realize that that one person you worked so hard for wasn't worth it.' After the hour long trip I grabbed my bags and walked onto the platform. Now how would I get to Marcus'? I called a cab and they said I would have to wait for about an hour. Great, more waiting.

Finally a cab came and took my to my best mate's house. I knocked softly and a very sleepy and bother Marcus answered the door. Luckily it wasn't one of his family members, how awkward would that be? The minute I saw Marcus, I started crying. Everything, and I mean everything had gone wrong. 

Sorry it's short lovs! xxx
