Can This Be True? { A Zalfie Fanfic }

Alfie

There was a lot of commotion going on between the time that me and Caspar woke up Zoe and when we got on the aeroplane the next day. I helped Zoe pack and reorganized all of my bags that I had packed in a rush. Me and Zoe had also had to run down to the shops and get a ton of makeup for the trip, Zoe could be such a girl sometimes, and I loved her for that. 

But finally, we were on the plane together. We had seats right next to each other and Louise sat ear us as well. I could already tell that the trip was going to be amazing. Me and Caspar and made up, sort of, and I could just ignore the twins. Everything was going to go great.

The plane ride was long, but it was anything but boring. Me and Zoe had played a ton of card games and had ever made up a few of our own. Eventually Zoe fell asleep on my shoulder, but even that wasn't boring. Having her this close to me was absolutely exhilirating. 

We all got off of the plane and hailed a taxi to take us to the hotel that we would be staying at. I was so excited to get settled down and to just spend some quality time with Zoe before the convention the next day. I was looking forward to meeting a lot of my viewers, but not so much to the jetlag. 

I was right, the hotel was amazing. I helped Zoe carry her things to her room and then we both headed off to my room, which was on the floor above hers. I was rooming with Caspar and Marcus and was so excited to get to spend more time with Marcus. Ever since I had moved to London we hadn't seen each other that often and I missed my best friend. 

Zoe walked into my room and smiled when she saw the beds. "You must christen your bed!" she said with a playful smile on her lips. 

"Fine," I said with a fake groan. I picked the bed on the left and did a sumersault onto it, finishing by standing up and jumping around. "This is now my bed!" I shouted over and over again. 

Zoe just laughed at me and sat down on the couch. She pulled out her phone and scrolled through what I was guessing was her twitter feed. She was smiling and laughing. "There are so many funny Zalfie comments," she said with a bigger smile. Then she frowned, I frowned too wondering what was wrong. 

I hopped off of my newly christened bed and walked over to her, sliding myself next to her on the couch. "What is it?" I asked softly. 

"Nothing," she said quickly, closing down the app and shutting off her phone. "I'm bored!" she announced with a playful giggle. "Want to go swimming?" she questioned, her face lighting up. 

"Most definitely," I said with a grin. Before I could say anything else she was off of the couch and out of my room. She had gone upstairs to change into her bathing costume, I could hardly wait. I pulled out my phone and texted Marcus, I think he was somewhere downstairs. 

A- Want to go swimming with me and Zoe, possibly Louise?

M- Can't, I'm hanging out with Jack and Finn down in the lobby.

I didn't even respond to him, just threw my phone softly onto the bed with a groan. I was about to cry, I just new it, I had to stop, I had to. I ended up not crying, but I still felt like shit. My best friend was hanging out with my enemy. She was terrible, at least Zoe wasn't hanging out with Jack. I quickly changed into my swim trunks, and grabbed a towel from the bathroom. 

I made my way up to Zoe's room and knocked on the door. I was greated by Louise, who pulled me into a hug. "I haven't seen you in forever Alfred," she said with a grin. We had only seen each other breifly since the hospital scene with Baby Glitter. Thank goodness she was feeling better. 

"Nice to see you Louise, are you coming swimming with me and Zo?" I asked. 

"Nope, letting you too have some alone time," she said with a wink. Why could everyone but me wink??!!! I smiled at her, just as Zoe came out. She was wearing a mint ombre dress over her bikini. 

"Ready?" I asked with a smile. She nodded and slipped her hand into mine. We made our way down to the pool and started to swim in the warm water. Zoe was just paddling along while I did tricks for her. She laughed at my stupidity, as did I. 

We were all alone in the pool as it was getting darker and later. Then we heard the gate to the pool creak open a bit. Someone must be coming for a nightime swim as well. I was on the other side of the pool as Zo, I was about to go down the slide and finish in a cannon ball to impress her. Just as I was getting out of the water though to climb the steps to the slide, I heard Zoe scream.
