I was glad when Alfie suggested that we go back to Brighton. I didn't really want to go to Bath right now. I would go home later. At this point though, Brighton was as much my home to me as Bath. I liked that, having two homes.
Alfie was talking to the camera as I packed, neatly folding each and every piece of clothing. My toiletries were already packed so all I had to do was grab my bag from the shelf in the bathroom. Alfie had turned off his camera and was packing himself when I returned. Well, packing was one word for it. He was just randomly shoving things into his bag. I smiled, he was such a weirdo and I loved him.
It took me about half and hour to properly fold and place everything back in my bag. Once I was done, I zipped up my bag with satisfaction. I then stood up and walked over to Alfie. He asked me if I wanted to do a Younow when we got back to Brighton and I thoroughly agreed. I loved doing Younows, I just never really had the time. Well today I would have the time.
"I'm ready!" I said picking up my bag and pulling on my coat. Alfie grabbed his bag and I reached my hand out to grab his. He squeezed my hand gently and I squeezed back. It made me feel secure when we held hands. Like he was protecting me. We walked out of the room which locked behind us and down to the lobby.
I was carrying the key and handed it to the woman at the desk thanking her for our stay. She smiled at me as we left the lobby.
It was cold outside and I started to run to my car in the carpark. Alfie laughed and ran alongside me as well. People were giving us odd stares but I didn't care. I wasn't get as cold as they were. Since we were running, we made it to the carpark in record time.
I unlocked the car and dropped Alfie's hand so I could get in the driver's side of the car. Alfie walked around and hopped into the passenger side. It still made me laugh every time I remembered that Alfie couldn't drive.
"You really should get your licsence," I said with a grin as I put my key into the egnition.
"I'd fail the test," Alfie said pulling a Yorkie bar out his bag. I was about to ask him how he had it, but then I remembered that his viewers sent him some on a daily basis. He was always carrying them around.

We drove for a while with One Direction songs blasting with the occasional Les Mis song on. I sang along to all of them, Alfie tried but he didn't really know the words to the Les Mis songs.
"I'll put the camera on," Alfie said pulling it out of his bag.
"What?" I shouted turning the sound to "What Makes You Beautiful" down a bit so I could hear him.
"I'm going to put the camera on," he repeated. Out of the corner of my eyes I could see him making a makeshift stand for the camera. He turned it on and I turned the music up but it fell after about ten seconds. We both erupted into laughter as he tried to put it up again. This time he succeeded.
"What song shall we play?" I asked messing around with the dials on the cars radio which was hooked up to my phone.
"Best Song Ever," Alfie said without hesitation. I smiled and clicked it on, turning the volume up even more.
We both started singing along as I drove the rest of the way to Brighton. As I drove home.
