Can This Be True? { A Zalfie Fanfic }

Zoe

The whole train ride was hell. I couldn't even be close to Alfie as some viewer would probably see us, and everything was just awkard. In the end, I just stuck my headphones in a turned up the music to as loud as it would go, drowning out the sound of everyone else. I ginored my phone messages from all of my friends and just zoned out for a while.

After we had gotten to the hospital I realized how hungry I was. I was glad that I had told Alfie how hungry I was and I was so thankful that he was going to get take-away.  And, that way, I would have more time to spend with my Chummy and Darcy. 

I was so depressed that Darcy was ill and I hoped that she would gte better soon. She looked so weak and frail with a little air mask clung to her face. Her breaths were raspy and when I stroked her forehead little bits of her sweat transferred to my hand. Her hair was stuck to her head in patches because of all of the moisture. 

"Oh Louise, I'm so sorry," I said softly. I walked over to her and wrapped my arms around her shoulders as Alfie left telling Louise that we were officially a couple. How lacklsuter was he? He sut the door softly behind him as he left. I didn't say anything and neither did Louise. The room was deathly quiet except for Darcy's breahing machine and her raspy breaths. 

"Did you call Matt?" I asked quizzically. Louise sat up a bit more and wiped her puffy eyes. She was very emotional. 

"I tried, but you know he is Costa Rica with his class and I guess they don't have cell reception there," she said with a defeated tone. Louise knew this all along, and I could tell she thought her statement was stupid. I felt bad for her, nothing like this had ever happened before when Matt wasn't her. She had had to fend for herself and I was so proud. 

"Me and Alf will stay with you as long as you need us to," I said. Then we both just sat there. We didn't talk, the room was quiet. Peaceful almost and it was nice. It was nice here to sit with my best friend and just relax. I was finally with Alfie and there was no drama. Everything was so nice, I just wish Darcy would hurry up and get better, because then everything would be perfect.

After about ten nurses had come to check on Darcy, and about twenty-five minutes later, Alfie arrived back with food. He had McDonalds. "Alfie!" I said with a hint of a smile on my lips. "You must have had to drive ages to get that."

"Well I knew it was Louise's favourite so I ordered another cab, no big deal." He started to lay everything out and I smiled for real this time. He was so kind I could hardly bear it. I loved him so much. I chomped down on a chip and glanced up at him again, just to see that he was already looking at me. 

I stood up from my sit across the room from him and plopped myself down on his lap, knicking one of his chips. I ignored his protests and popped it into my mouth with a giggle. "So Chummy, is it okay if we stay at your place? You sure?" I asked sweetly. 

"Posi-" Louise started. She was interupted though by the ringing of my phone. I groaned and slid off of Alfie's lap over to our bags. It was in one of them, somewhere. I finally found it at the bottome of my handbag, luckily I picked it up just in time. I didn't even glance down at the number before answering it. I sure wish that I had though. 

"Hello Zoella," Jack drawled out. 

"That's not my name," I said with disgust. Just when everything had seemed to have gone right, Jack had to come and wreck it all. This was just great. Absoultely perfect. "What do you want?" I said, nearly spitting into the phone.

"Just wanted to talk. Are you still in London, I want to make things right, come on," he said sweetly. I could tell that he was trying to pull me back to him, but I was just done with him and his flirtatious ways. 

"For your information I am staying with my boyfriend and my best friend for about a week, so to answer your question, no, I am not in London. I guess we'll have to talk later, Alf's calling me so I better go," I hurriedly hung up the phone. My heartrate had sped up and my face was blushed. That stupid boy just made me so angry sometimes. 

I noticed that at this point both Louise and Alfie had looked up from their food to look at me. "Oh, nothing. Just Jack. Ick," I said with a shiver. They both smiled in relief and continued to eat. I moved back over to Alfie and sat down next to him leaning my head on his shoulder. My hair spilled down his back and I smiled. Our relationship was perfect. 

Well, almost perfect. To make it amazing, we first had to tell our viewers.
