Zoe
10:03am
"Listen, Zoe.. I can't really show myself to Joe-- or to anyone else but you" Alfie said softly as he held my shoulders firmly and looking straight to my eyes.
"Gorgeous what do you mean ? Why not?" I asked and smiled at the idea.
"They can't see me, they shouldn't.. After all what happened" he said looking down to the ground.
"That's ridiculous Alfie! They'd be happy to see you!" I said and hugged him but we heard the door unlocking. It's Joe.
"I'll see you later little one. Sorry." is what all he said after letting go of me and quickly walked to the front door. I chased him but all I saw was Joe standing at the door with grocery bags.
"Where's Alfie?" I asked him but he only responded with a confuses look "Joe, where's Alfie!?" I asked once again but with more tone this time.
"I.." He couldn't gather his words for his sentence.
"He just walked out! Didn't you see him? You must've seen him passing though you bloody idiot!" I said as tears starts streaming down my cheeks. I don't understand. Why can't he be seen by any of our friends? Why didn't Joe see him pass by? This is stupid. I ran outside the gate not caring of what I look like or what I'm wearing. Looking like an absolute mess like I've been wasted last night and wearing pajamas doesn't concern me at all. I need to go after Alfie and sort this all up.
Walking to the road, things happened quickly. I heard a loud beeping noise from the car which was just too close of hitting me but then Joe pulled me to the side of the road. He yelled at me, hugged me, pulled me back to the house but I didn't hear any word he said. I didn't want to hear anything. Everything was a blur -- then it all went black.
Joe
10:09am
I pulled Zoe away from the main road. Fuck, that was close. This is driving me crazy. What was she talking about. I didnt see Alfie on the way in, why would I? He's dead! My sister hasn't gone mental!
"Zoe! You can't just pass the road like that!" I yelled and pulled her in for a hug.
"You need to get back to your senses! You're being dangerous! If you keep being like this then I can't afford to leave you! Zoe do you know how much worse that could've gotten?!" I was yelling all the way back inside the house as I was pulling her behind me but as soon as I closed the door, Zoe fainted.
1:24pm
"Joe?" My sister spoke just as I was about to fall asleep on the other sode of the sofa.
"Zoe, are you alright now?" I asked frantically. I asked handing her the glass of water on the table. We were at the cosy room and I surely panicked when Zoe passed out. I called dad and couldn't even talk slowly. I didn't know what to do. Zoe drank half of the water but remained silent for a few seconds. I have no idea what's on her mind right now.
"Yeah.. Look, Joe, I'm sorry for being such a baby but I can handle myself now." She said hugging her knees and hiding her face.
"Are you kidding Zoe? I can't leave"
"No, Joe. Live your own life. I dont want to get on your way. Im your sister, I'm older. I know what I'm doing and I know what's best for you"
"You're talking crap, you are. You're my suster Zoe you're my responsibility. Im not going to leave you not at this state. Mum and dad are going to come over in a few days."
"You called mum and dad?!" She asked sounding annoyed
"Um. Yes. They're our parents Zo. We are your family. We're supposed to be with you, take care of you whether you like it or not"
"No! Tell them not to come! You should go back to your flat too Joe."
"I'm staying here Zoe."
"Leave me alone Joe!"
You see, my sister isn't normally like this. She used to be so bubbly and happy. She is what she is on her videos. She's weird, crazy, cheerful off camera or on. She couldnt bare to hurt someone else's feelings or even shout at anyone. She's doesnt phsh other away. Well-- that's how she used to be. Im sure her old self would be back. After all this..
"You cant handle this all on your own Zoe"
"Joe. Alfie only shows up if I'm alone.
Leave us alone Joe" she said crying.

Hey there fellow Zalfiebugs. Having the cliché writer moment when school is starting in 4 days and I might get busy bla bla. Lol so yeah. I'll probably update weekly, let's say twice a week? If I feel like I'm willing to stay up all night? Idk 😆
Hope you enjoyed this chapter. This will be a long book 😥 Since I tell stories very detailedly (is that even a word) ugh I dont have words for myself bye! 😬
