Skinny Love { A Zalfie Fanfic }

Alfie

I awoke to the harsh rays of sunlight in my eyes. I sat up and groaned, I could tell it was quite early in the morning. I clicked my phone on and groaned again. It was 8:30. I had only had about six hours of sleep. Marcus and Joe were still snoring. 

I was too awake at this point to go back to bed though. I wanted to do something too, not just sit in bed. I decided to start getting packed that way all of us could just hang out for a while and not have to rush and pack. 

I had just finished zipping up my suitcase when I heard Joe get up. I could tell he was really hungover. I was surprised he had even woken up this early. Maybe it had been the sun, like me. 

"Morning!" I said cheerfully. "I'm trying to have us all packed by eleven so we can all go and chill with the girls. Sound good?" 

"Ya," he mumbled before walking into the bathroom and turning on the shower. I sat down on my bed and opened my laptop, the one thing I hadn't packed yet. I stuffed my headphones into my ears and started to edit a video.

After a while Joe came out of the shower and got dressed and started packing. Marcus eventually woke up and did the same. I even finished editing my video. I was very proud of myself. Never had I been this perductive before noon, like ever. 

"You seem to be in a good mood," Marus said to me as he shoved some of his clothes haphazardly into his bag. 

"I am!" I said with a grin, then I started to whistle a One Direction song under my breath. That is just how happy I was.

Everyone was finally packed and we were all ready to go down to the girl's room. I led the way as we walked out. Marcus almost forgot the room key, but luckily I remembered and went it and grabbed it. I started walking to the stairs waiting for the boys to follow me. 

"Come on man," Joe said, "let's take the lift," he pressed the up button and it immeadiately lit up. 

"It's only one floor up you guys," I said. Why on earth would I take the lift? I opened the door to the stairwell and started to walk up. It was only one level up. I even made it there before them. 

I waited in front of the girls room for Marcus and Joe to get up to the top. Finally, after what seemed like ages, they made it. I knocked on the door excited to see Zoe. Then a thought dawned on me, what if neither of them where up yet. That would be quite embarrassing. 

I threw the thought of off my mind quickly though. Louise was a mum, she probably got up at 7 am just out of habit. I heard rustling behind the door, the lock clicked and then it opened. Louise was dressed and as I had guessed, looked like she had been up for ages. 

"Oh, hello boys!" she said, she sounded shocked. 

"Good morning," I said. 

"Good morning..." Marcus and Joe grumbled after me. 

"Zoe's still asleep, but come it," she said with a smile. We all walked in and she shut the door. Marcus and Joe immeadiately went to the couch and turned the TV on. I sat down at the chair by the desk. "How did you get them up so early?" Louise asked with awe looking over at the boys. 

"They got up on there own," I said. Then I started to laugh. We were talking as if Marcus and Joe were my children and I was the father. Louise smiled at me and then started to busy herself with something on her phone. I pulled out my phone but there was nothing interesting on it. 

Then I looked at Zoe. She looked so peaceful, sleeping there. Okay, that sounded a bit creepy when I though it. But it was the truth. She looked more beautiful than ever. 

"Ummm Alfie," Louise said. I looked around and swore under my breath. She had caught me staring. 

"Ya..." I said blushing a bit. 

"You should wake her up," she said with a smile, handing me a pillow.
