Tanya's POV:

I watched the CCTV as Joe headed up to the roof, looking upset. But why? I quickly ran into the meeting room to find Kate and Maddie."Guys, i'm scared. I just saw Joe go up to the roof. He looks really upset and angry. Would he?" They bolted up and we headed up to the roof.

He was stood on the edge so we called him. "Joe!" He stepped back and turned round to see us. I felt a tear slip and we all ran towards him. He tried to step back but we got to him just in time. We took him inside and down to the meeting room. Why would he think of doing this? "What happened Joe? I saw you come in when I was behind you. I was coming to a meeting. I watched the CCTV to see you were coming up here and I told these two to come and get you." I didn't understand. I thought he was happy. "Charlotte left me. My best friend hates me. Alfie hates me. Zoe never even knew about me and Charlotte. It was my fault she lost her memory in the crash and don't remember her family. My dad won't speak to me. It's all my fault."

Wait who's Charlotte? Oh I think I remember her, Caspar's cousin but that wasn't important. Joe began to breathe heavier and quicker and it seemed almost impossible for him to do. I knew what was happening, he was having a panic attack. We all tried to help calm him down but nothing worked. He just passed out. Maddie called an ambulance and we all just waited anxiously until it came. I tried to call Zoe but there was no answer so I called Alfie. Nothing. My last option was Caspar. He picked up then I realised what Joe had said about Caspar hating him. But I had to try. "Caspar it's me listen. Joe's unconscious and-" He hung up. Of course. So I called Jim. "Jim?" I asked, kind of panicked. "What's the matter honey?!" I could tell his voice was shaky. "Well any chance you could try to get hold of Zoe? I'm here with Joe and he's unconscious and no one else is answering. And well we found him trying to jump off the Google office roof."

"Erm yeah sure. Look, just stay with him. I'll go to her apartment and Alfie and Caspar's and call them all. I'll be with you soon. Love you honey." "Love you too bobs."

Jim's POV:

I tried calling Zoe after the conversation with Tanya and got nothing. I tried texting her too several time and got nothing. I went to her apartment and she didn't answer there either so maybe she was with Alfie somewhere?

I called Alfie and surprise surprise he didn't answer either so I decided to tweet out. I got thousands of replies. Just none from Alfie or Zoe. Or anyone else helpful for that matter. So I went by Alfie and Caspar's flat. I knocked on the door and Caspar thankfully answered. "Caspar have you seen Zoe?" I asked. "No why?" He asked. "Joe is on his way to the hospit-" I started but he interrupted me. "Oh, she's at an appointment. I'll tell her when she gets back to go but thanks Jim." "Aren't you gonna go?" I asked confused, they were meant to be best mates. "Erm...no. Things are complicated." He admitted. "Okay? I've got to go find Tanya so i'll see you later I guess?" He nodded and I headed back out the door.

I called Tan and made my way to the hospital to see her. "Zoe's at an appointment apparently so Caspar's going to tell her when she gets back." I explained. "Okay." She sighed. "I'm on my way." I added. "Okay see you soon." She sounded a little better after this. "I love you baby." I smiled. "I love you too bobs."

We hung up and I soon arrived at the hospital. I went to where Tan had told me to go on the phone and found the room. Tanya was waiting outside when I arrived and her cute face just lit up when she saw me. She was so cute.

Zoe's POV:

Me and Alfie got called into the doctor's room and started the scan. "And here is your baby." She said to us and I began to tear up. Alfie held me tight and the nurse went to print the pictures. "Everything's looking good and soon you'll be able to know the sex! Other than that, you're free to go!" We thanked her and headed back home. "Let's go back to mine and order some food?" Alfie asked as he took my hand and we jumped into my car. We took the short trip back to Alfie's apartment and Caspar jumped up as soon as we stepped through the door. "Zoe! Alfie! Why haven't either of you answered your phones?" Caspar asked as he paced the apartment. "My phone died right before the appointment." I admitted. "I've had my phone off since I went out earlier." Alfie added.

"Well Charlotte's locked herself in her room and won't come out." He admitted. "I'll go and see if I can talk to her." I said and left Alfie and Caspar to talk. I walked to Charlotte's room and knocked. "Charlotte? Let me in? I'm not moving till you let me in so you might as well." I could hear her sobbing on the other side of the door. It took her a few minutes but she eventually unlocked the door and I embraced her in a tight hug. "What happened? Why did you run straight in here? What's wrong?" I was really scared when I saw her tear stained cheeks and puffy, bloodshot eyes. She held me tighter and I felt her begin to cry and I was completely unsure why. "What's wrong?" I pulled away to look at her and she just looked down towards the floor. I held her hands and just waited. "It's nothing. Well actually, it's everything. It's just all getting a little too much I guess." She sighed and I held her tight once again.

I finally pulled away and looked down to decide what to say to comfort her. "Shit Charlotte! Why is your wrist bleeding? Let me clean that up for you." She just argued against that and tried to move away. "It's fine, I'll do it Zoe. I'm sure Alfie will be wondering what you're doing. I'm fine. Honestly."

I shook my head and refused. "It's fine. I'll do it." I took her hand and rolled up her sleeve to reveal something that caused me to gasp. Why would she do it? Why would she cut? I just pulled her back in while she cried. "Tell me why? Please?" "I can't, because it's nothing please. I'd just like to be alone." I let go and nodded. I went to Alfie's bathroom to grab a cloth and handed it to her before running upstairs and grabbing her a bandage.

"Please? Just let me wrap it up for you?" I asked. She sighed once again and nodded so I did exactly that. "Thanks Zoe." She said. "For what?" I asked. "For being here for me. Not just turning your back on me when you found out." We hugged once more before I put out my hand. "What?" She asked looking confused. "Please? Just give me what you used? I can't bear the thought of you doing it again." She nodded, ashamed and went towards the drawers and pulled out a knife.

I left her room and went to Alfie's. I grabbed a t-shirt and wrapped it up before hiding it in my small suitcase.

"Okay Zoe, I need to tell you something else. I would have told you before but I was worried about Charlotte. Joe is kind of in the hospital." He finished. "What why?!" I asked. "He's fine! He just blacked out! Jim, Tanya, Maddie and Kate are with him." "Wait why aren't you there?" I asked.  "We kind of fell out." He admitted. "Okay. I'm not even gonna ask. I'm going to see Joe." I commented. I grabbed my power bar and phone before getting my purse and keys and heading for the door. "I'll try come down later little one. I have a lot of work to do if that's okay?" I nodded and made my way to the hospital and to Joe's room.

Joe's POV:
I woke in a room surrounded by Jim, Tanya and Zoe. "Broseph you're awake!" Zoe squealed and I jumped. "Where am I?" "You blacked out after the thing and a panic attack so we called an ambulance and now you're in the hospital." Tanya said and I just sighed. Why couldn't they have just left me? "After what?" Zoe asked confused and Tanya shot me I look and I nodded. "Joe. He tried t-to... well, he tried to jump off the Google building roof. We managed to stop him and well. This happened." Jim cuddled up to Tanya and Zoe ran towards my side now crying. "Joe why would you do that? What happened." Zoe said now hugging me tight. I shook my head at Tan and Jim looked at her puzzle. "Me and Jim are just going to step outside a minute. Leave you alone." She took his hand and went outside.

"Just everything Zo. Caspar and Alfie both hate me and dad won't speak to me. I just can't do it anymore Zo, I just can't." I was now sobbing into her shoulder as she held me tight.

"Alfie and Caspar? Why would they hate you?" Why did I mention it? Of course she was going to ask! Why am I supposed to say?
