Can This Be True? { A Zalfie Fanfic }

Zoe

Alfie was such an amazing guy, I was so lucky to have him. We had decided to go down and have a night-time swim. Oh how romantic. We had invited Louise along as well, but I was glad that she had politely declined. The pool water was heated and at the perfect temperature, and the lights shone with a beautiful glitter. I laughed as Alfie did foolish tricks to entertain me, while I just drifted from edge do edge, floating along. 

I was shocked when Alfie told me he was going to go down the slide, I smiled anyway though. "Have fun Mr. Deyes!" I shouted. But then I felt cold skin on my lips and I screamed before being silenced. I saw the glint of a metal blade and started to struggle against whoever had me in a tight grasp. Then I felt the knife come down on my arm. I tried to scream in pain, but the sound was muffled out by the person's arm. I felt two long swipes on both of my arms. 

The tears started to come down. I was started to panic, my breath started to quicken. It was difficult to breathe though, due to the tight grasp around my mouth. I was going to pass out, where was Alfie. I saw the knife go down for anothercut when I heard a scream. I tried to turn around and see what had happened, but I couldn't. I don't remember much after that point, I think I fainted. 

____________________

I woke up to a very bright light, too bright. I was in the hospital and I hated hospitals. The walls were always too white and they smelled heavily of disinfectant. I hated them. I was very disoriented and had no idea why I was in the hospital. "Alfie?" I asked slowly. 

"He's not here," I heard someone say. I turned and saw Marcus sitting on the bench by the window. I could tell that he had been crying. 

"Oh Marcus, why are you crying?" I asked, I had still not remembered why I was in the hospital, I just wanted someone to help me be less confused, I needed Alfie. "Where is Alfie?" I asked slowly. Then I gasped, every single memory of the night suddenly came flooding back in, the dam had burst. I glanced down at my arms and saw them both wrapped tightly in white bandages. "Oh Marcus, is he okay?" I asked hurriedly. 

My breath started to quicken again, I started to feel hot and sweaty. I needed to see that Alfie was okay. I needed to feelhis skin against mine. "He's fine, I think he's at the hotel getting some stuff for you, he told me he would be back at  11." I glanced at the clock and saw that it was 10:45. Only 15 more minutes until I could see Alfie. I started to calm back down and my breath slowed to a regular pace. 

"Marcus what actually happened? I don't really remember much after... after I fainted." I stammered out the last bit, I wasstill feeling very weak and scared about what had happened. I gripped my white sheets until my knuckles turned white. Why was everything white??!! It bothered me how monochromatic everything was, there was no colour anywhere.

"Well, there was this girl and she came and well cut you," his voie got quieter at the last bit. "You knew that," he murmured embarrassedly. "Well, after Alfie heard you scream he ran to try and see what had happened, but he didn't get there before you fainted. It was actually Jack who saved you. He came and punched the girl who hurt you. I think they have her at the police station now or something."

I was at a loss of words. It was Jack who had saved me? I thought he hated me now that I had chosen Alfie over him. "Jack?" I asked astounded, Marcus nodded. Then I suddenly felt terrible for Alfie. How bad he must have felt that he wasn't theone who saved me. I must let him know that I didn't care one bit. I still loved him, in fact I loved him more than I everhad before. Then another thought popped into my mind. 

"Wait, Marcus. Why did that girl try to hurt me?" I was still at a lost for that one. Why would anyone want to hurt me. Then it all slowly came back to me. "Marcus, where's my phone?" I said this all quickly with a sense of urgency and Marcus stood up walking over to me. He pulled my phone out of his pocket and handed it to me. 

"Here you are Ms. Sugg." I frowned at his remark, that was what Alfie called me. This made me look at the clock, I saw that it was 10:55 and I wanted to see Alfie more than ever now. 

"Before we left for Playlist, when me and Alfie made that video that we were dating. I got this tweet from this creepy person," I said slowly. I scrolled through my Twitter feed until I got to the bit from two days ago. I found the tweet and took a screenshot of it, in case it was important to anyone. I handed my phone to Marcus for him to see. He started to taparound on my phone and look at something.

"This was the girl," he said slowly. He pulled up a picture of her and handed my phone back to me. I looked at her Twitter profile, seeing that her bio was all about us, the Youtube Crew. She stated that her name was Charlotte Deyes and she seemed crazy. I know that there are a ton of lovely fans out there who do things like this, but looking at her tweets, she seemed crazy to me. 

I glanced down at my arms again and started to cry. This was supposed to be the best holiday ever and some stupid girl that I didn't even know had to come and wreck it. Marcus looked awkwardly at me, like he didn't know what to do, then he sat down on the edge of the bed and stared to comfort me. I smiled at him and reached up to wipe away my tears. This was supposed to be amazing, and now it was just dreadful. And I bet because of this Alfie, Marcus, and I were going to have to miss the convention part of the whole trip. 

I glanced back up at the clock to see that it was 11:05, where was Alfie. Then I heard the door creak open and saw Alfie walk in, followed by Jack. Alfie was carrying a box of Lucky Charms and a box of PopTarts, I smiled widely at him, beckoning quickly for him to join me on the bed. Jack just walked in and sat down next to Marcus on the window bench. He looked like he didn't want to be here, but I was happy that he had come. I mean, he had saved my life. 

Alfie walked over to me and set down his bounty of goods. I started to cry again, I was so happy that he was okay. I grabbed his arm and pulled him down into a kiss. He lips crashed into mine and I quickly realized that he was crying as well. "Thank goodness you're okay Zo," he whispered into my ear. 

That chapter was really emotional for me to write, so I hope you guys like it and everything. I have a really clear view of where the story is going to go from here and it will probably be ending soon. Don't worry though, I will write another one after this. Probably with a completely different storyline, but who knows. I hope you guys like it so far. ^_^ xxx
