Zoe's P.O.V
It was a late Sunday evening and i had just finished editing and uploading my vlog from yesterday; 'Pugs and beach walks with friends'. I was just about to brew myself a cup of tea and get into bed. I was slightly more alert of everything going on in the house because Alfie wasn't here. Alfie had left a few days ago for an interview in America, so he was staying there for a week, also making a small holiday out of it with his family. I was slightly upset, but then comforted by the fact that he had changed it from two weeks to one, because he loved me. I love Alfie so much. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world with him. I smiled, for a moment, thinking about him. *DING* I jumped as i heard my ringtone and instantly, i was snapped out of my daydream. I tutted, thinking about how stupid it was of me to be scared of a ringtone. God, Zoe, pull yourself together!
I looked at my phone and saw mark's name on the screen above the picture of me and him about to film a video. We were laughing in that picture, and it was one of the first pictures we took together. That's why its his profile picture on my contacts.
I instantly thought, 'why is mark calling me this late at night? at 10:39?' it must have been urgent so i quickly tapped the green 'accept' button. I quickly lifted the phone up to my ear.
'Hello?' i said.
'Zoe, i-i'm upset. and lonely. and s-' he trailed off. I heard him sniffle and i knew something was wrong. My heart beating faster, i had to say something
'Mark? what's wrong? Is everything alright?'
'No, no. It really isn't. Everything just seems so wrong right now. I need to s-see you.. '*sniffle*
'Oh, mark. Do you want to co-'
'Yes please. I'll explain everything when i get there. I-im so sorry i'm acting like this.'
I pressed my shoulder up to my ear so i could finish making my tea. i grabbed another mug out of the cupboard for Mark for when he got here.
'Mark, its fine, i'm always here if we need to talk, OK?'
'Alright. i'm so glad you're my friend.'
I smiled, and for a moment forgot i was on the phone. It warmed my heart to know that i was the first person he turned to. I'm just so confused though. why is he so upset?
