It was dark when Zoe finally pulled into my driveway. The lights were on in the house and I could see Poppy and my mum where sitting in the main room watching some movie. I smiled when I saw them because I didn't know that Poppy would be in town and I loved her. She was always fun.
Zoe turned the car off and leaned back in the seat. "I am so tired," she said with a grin towards me.
"I'll bring your bags in," I said already getting out and going to the boot to grab all of our stuff. Zoe stayed in the seat with her eyes shut. Driving really took it out of her. We still had to do a Younow, well I could do one at least.
As I was walking up to the house, Zoe got out of the car and followed me in. "Hey Mum," I said walking up the stairs.
"Alfie, Zoe," she said with a smile and a nod.
"A hi would be nice Alf!" Poppy yelled up the stairs.
"Hi!" I yelled back down with a laugh. I was upstairs within seconds and Zoe was right behind me. I set the bags down on the ground at the foot of my bed. Zoe layed down her handbag and walked straight to the bed crawling under the duvet. She looked at me and smiled.
"I don't feel too well, I think I'm just going to take a short nap," she said softly as she closed her eyes. Her breathed evened out slowly almost immeadiately and I knew she was asleep. I smiled and walked over to move a strand of her hair out of her face. My hand lingered on her forehead for a few minutes though. Her forehead was boiling, she was sickly and I knew I would have to take care of her.
After kissing her softly on the nose I walked over to my desk and pulled out my laptop. Since Zoe wasn't feeling well I thought I might as well do the Younow without her. I tweeted saying I would be doing a live broadcast in ten minutes and starting setting it up.
Before I went live though I got one more blanket for Zoe and tucked her up. I felt so bad for her, she must have gotten something at the hospital or from some person in London. I hoped that she would get better soon.

My broadcast went well, a lot of people asked me to wake Zoe up but I let her sleep. Hopefully her illness was something she could sleep away.
After I finished the Younow I got out the camera and vlogged a little bit. I took the camera downstairs to flim myself making some dinner. I thought that Zoe would like soup so I handmade some chicken noodle. I knew that Zoe liked it.
I finished making the soup and carefully carried the two bowls upstairs whilst balancing the camera in the crook of my arm. I made it upstairs without spilling any of it which to me was a large accomplishment.
When I walked into the room Zoe was awake. She was sitting up in the bed with the duvet covered up to her face. Her eyes were open but they were red and she looked quite poorly.
"I feel terrible," she said with a frown. It looked like she was about to cry. I knew how much Zoe hated being sick. "I'm don't want to get you sick," she added.
"Don't worry about me!" I said cheerifully walking over to her side. "I made you some chicken noodle soup," I said slipping the spoon into the bowl.
"Thank you," she said leaning up to kiss me. I knew she was right though, if we were living in the same room for a while I was definitely going to get sick. I didn't care though, I loved Zoe and I would be sick for the rest of my life if I could spend it with her.
