Zoe
10:43am
I tossed around the bed trying to forget how much of a nightmare these past couple of weeks have been. No matter how much I try, it's one of those things that scars you for life. I can feel my eyes sore and swollen from the unimaginable amout of tears I cried.
I sniffed and burried my head onto the pillow and cried the tears left inside me. I could've been screaming but I feel too weak to make a sound. I sobbed my heart out until someone's familiar voice called out.
"Zoe, little one! It's time to get up, look at the time" he pulled my blanket away from me. A rush came through my body.
"Alfie?" I looked at him with tears in my eyes and shaking hands. I tried to wipe away my tears to see him clearly. It's him, it's really him.
"Alfie, you're alive!" I cried out and hugged him so tight like never before. I can't even dare to let him go. I've missed him.
"Zoe, you've been crying.." He said sadly and gently wiped away my tears.
I can't talk. I just want to savour this moment. Alfie's back. I sobbed on his shoulder and he continued to pat my back. I don't even bother to ask what have happened and where he was these past few days. All that matters is he's back. My Alfie's back. Into my arms, in our house, with our Nala.
I cried for a good amount of time before Alfie has shushed me by cuddling in bed and letting me fall asleep. I woke up and tried to reach Alfie in for a hug but I couldnt feel him. I opened my eyes and started to panic. I quickly got out of bed and ran downstairs yelling Alfie's name.
"Alfie?!"
"Gorgeous?"
"Alf where are you?" I looked around the living room and didn't see a sight of him anywhere. I began to cry again. I fell down my knees and covered my ears. No, he cant me lost again. He can't leave me again. Not again. No..
I cried loudly and heared someone's footsteps run downstairs. He grabbed on to me and pulled my face up so he can see me and quickly hugged me.
"Zoe, it's okay. Im here" Alfie said but I continued on yelling and crying
"Shh.. Im sorry, I was in the bath room"
"Dont cry now please.. I wont leave.. I wont leave you little one.." He gently run his fingers through my hair. He continued to whisper comforting words as I slowly calmed down.
We we're sitting on the floor. You can hear nothing but my sobbing and Nala's movements. I stopped sobbing and everyhing was quiet. I'm hugging my Alfie and he's hugging he's Zoe. Nothing could go wrong anymore. I'm here for him now and he's here for me.
4:58pm
Alfie is playing with Nala downstairs. I hear my phone went off whilst doing my make up for the first time in two weeks. I put down my brush and answered it. It was my chummy, Louise. I can't wait to tell her Alfie's back!
"Zoe. How are you?" She sounds worried
"I'm great, chummy!" There was a pause of silence
"Wh-why.. Chummy, you sound happy" I can't really work out what she means and what she feels
"Chummy, Alfie's back!" I squealed with joy
"What?.." She said in confusion
"He's come back Louise! This morning! I still havent told anyone yet! I should call Amanda or Poppy about this! He's alive and we're going to town in a few minutes! You could come over tonight and--" I was cut off by Louise
"Zoe wait, calm down.. What do you mean"
"Louise, I mean, that Alfie's back. He's here with me. Well and good!"
"Chummy I know you miss him but he's gone"
"No Louise! He's here! He's downstairs with Nala!" I started to sound mad
"Im really worried now Zoe, you're imagining things, I should come stay with you" she persisted. I know she's worried but she wont believe me.
"No Louise! Alfie is with me and Im okay now."
"Zoe, Alfie's not back. He can't come back. And he won't come back! Zoe, he's dead! You were there at the burial last week, Zoe!"
"Alfie's dead." she said
