The Future Of Us- Zalfie

16.

*Zoe's POV*

I roll in my bed, not able to sleep. The bed felt cold, and all I could think of was Alfie.

Tears started streaming out of my eyes.

He doesn't like you, he never did. What's the point? He's happy with whoever he's with.

I can do without that, thank you very much brain.

I pull out of my phone. 2;30 AM. I should be asleep. But I'm hung over a boy, who'll never love me.

I get out of bed and go inside my washroom. I open one drawer, full of my makeup.

I pull some makeup out, and put it on the counter. I then see it. Oh, old friend, how I've missed you.

(If you can't tell, its a blade)

*Joe's POV*

I am awakened by a scream. Before I can think, I run towards Zoe's room.

I see her washroom door slightly open. I run and see her sitting on the floor, with a blade.

I take a cloth, lying on the counter and put it on Zoe's wrist. Soon enough, most of the blood has absorbed into the cloth. I get a bandage from the drawer and wrap it around her arm.

"Zoe, this? Again?"

She trembled, tears coming out of her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Joe. I really am."

I sigh, before pulling her into my arms.

"Hey, its okay, I swear."

And we sat there in silence, while I remembered the last time it happened.

*flashback*

Zoe had finished university, and I was back home for the holidays. I knew about Zoe's affair with Marcus. (A/N not the YouTuber, its a different person)

She had loved him, lots. But then, Marcus broke up with her. Apparently he found someone 'better' for himself. I wanted to personally go and punch this guy, hard.

I was sitting downstairs with mum and grandad, while dad prepared a feast. Dad's feasts were our favorite things in the world.

Dad told me to call Zoe down for dinner.

I nodded, walking up the stairs. When I opened her room, she wasn't there. I decided to check her washroom.

I knocked at the door, which opened instantly. I frowned, and walked in.

"Zoe?" I said, before I saw her. She was on the floor, with 3 cuts on her arm. Her right hand was hovering over her arm, to make another cut, but I grabbed hold of it before she could do anything.

She looked up, tears streaming down her face. She looked shocked.

I wrapped a bandage on her wrist, after cleaning it up.

"Joe, you can't tell anyone about this." She said, looking at me, seriously.

I nod, before she rolls her sleeves down; and we then, walk down for dinner.

*Flashback over*

I look at Zoe. She's asleep till now. So, I decide to put her down in bed.

I pick her up and lay her down. I, then, start walking out of my room, before I hear her say,"Stay here, Joe. Please?"

I walk back and lay down in bed, before sleeping.

Hey guys!
Just gonna lay this out- this story will get depressing.
So if you go through depression and are hurt by such stuff, please don't read this anymore.
I'm not a 100% sure that it'll become depressing, but I'll see.

Thankyou for reading!
