*at Zoe and Alfie's house*
"I didn't hear her come in last night!" Alfie said.
"Home late huh?" I said, he can't know Marcus and Zoe kissed.
"Yeah!"
"She was occupied."

Marcus bursts in through the door.
"Alfie I Gotta get something off my chest!"
"What is it Marcus?"
"I l..."
"MARCUS!" Me and Joe said!.
"Marcus sweetie you don't wanna do this!" I said, hopefully I'm convincing enough.
"Eva! I'm doing this!"
"I can't watch, I'm going finding Zoe! " I go and try to find Zoe.

*joe, Marcus and Alfie at Zoe and Alfie's house still*
"Marcus spill it would ya?!" Alfie shouted!
"Ok, here goes, I love...."
"Healthy foods!" Joe jumps right in and saves Marcus, obviously he says the wrong thing.
"Joe! I love Zoe."
This hit Alfie hard, he fell back into the sofa staring into space, with his hands on his eyes, he looked torn.
"You what?"
"Love Zoe..."
"Marcus..."
"Alfie wait."
"Marcus, she's my girlfriend back off!"
"Ok! Before you go beating eachothers brains out!" Joe says," let me get one thing straight! Zoe left, because she couldn't make a decision on who to stay with! Marcus or you Alfie! You can't blame one of you, both of you are to blame..."
*all of us at Zoe and Alfie's house*
"I FOUND HER! ZOE COME ON!" I screamed!
"I don't want to *sniff*!" Zoe cried.
Zoe walked in and saw Alfie and Marcus looking at eachother with envy, and she ran over to them both and she hugged them like she was part of a group hug!

"Eva, Alfie lets go upstairs."
"Joe this is my house!" Alfie said.
"Alfie Zoes my sister I'll punch you right in the place that hurts if I have to!" Joe said.

We walked upstairs. Alfie had his fists clenched. I had my hand on his shoulder and my other Hand on his hand to stop him unclenching his hands, Joe got jealous.

"Eva, come here beautiful!" Joe said.
He pinned me on the bed and kissed me, not that I was complaining, but infront if Alfie.
"Joe, Alfie."
"Oh yeah sorry."
"It's ok, love you."
"Love you too Eva."

*eva and Marcus downstairs*
Marcus and Zoe are sat shoulder to shoulder, with their hands on eachothers laps.
"Marcus, I love you."
"I love you to Zoe!"
"But..."
"But what?"
"Marcus we both know that we can't be together."
"No we can!"
"I love your enthusiasm but we can't!"
"Listen Zoe. The day I met you I said to Alfie, boy I see why you like this girl, she's amazing, if things go downhill with you two, you know who to call! He slapped me of Course! Zoe can't you see we are meant to be! I have loved you since I first met you!"
"I love you too! I mean since the very first day!" Zoe and Marcus's go more cross eyed and cross eyed and they get closer and closer and then they kiss right as Alfie walks into the room!

"What is going on here?!" Alfie screamed!
"Alfie!" Zoe cried.
"What?!"
"I was just going to break it off with Marcus!"
"By kissing him?"
"It wasn't planned like that!"
"Look Zoe. I'll plan it different for you! Go with Marcus!"
"Alfie wait..."
"Bye folks I'm outta here!"
Alfie slams the door behind him, Zoe starts crying so hard into Marcus's jumper, I feel so bad for her.

*at my apartment*
When we got home Joe jumped in the shower, Steph was in bed and I was ready to relax and watch full house on Netflix when, I got a knock at the door.
"Who is it?"
"It's Harry!" Oh my god no.
I open the door and he hugs me, I pull him away and step into the hallway.
"What?"
"Hey!"
"Bye."
"Eva, wait!"
"Wait? I have nothing to say to you other than goodbye!"
"I love you Eva!"
"yeah? Is that so? Well I don't love you! So go back to lauren!"
"Lauren was a ...."
I walk away as he was in mid Sentence and slammed the door.
"A mistake." I heard him say.

I ran into the couch and balled into a huge pillow, I just wanna be cornered away from the world right now.
