I felt bad when I told Zoe that I was going to edit for the day. Her reaction of sighing was immeadiate and I almost regretted saying it. I would definitely not do it if Zoe's didn't want me to, and I told her so but she said it was okay. I still almost wanted to stop and not do it, just to make her happy but I knew that that would cause even more conflict.
Zoe was out of the room before we could talk anymore and I sighed. I wish that we had agreed on that more. It seemed like recently we had been getting in a more and more little fights. They weren't anything big or major but they still put me on edge a little.
I was editing a video when I heard Zoe talking. I knew that Joe and her dad weren't home so that meant she was talking to someone on the phone. I guessed that it was Louise and tried to ignore her voice as I turned up the volume on my headphones so I could finish this stupid video that was supposed to be uploaded on two days ago.
I had been editing for about thirty minutes when I heard a knock at the door. At first I was really confused. Hardly anyway ever knocked on the door except for the person who delivered our parcels. I stood up and took my headphones about to walk over and out the hallway to open the door but Zoe ran from out of the back room saying, "I'll get it!"
She slid past me in her socks and smoothly opened the door revealing none other than Marcus Butler.
"Zoe, Alfie!" he said cheerifully walking in and giving Zoe a hug and then myself. I was really confused. Why would Marcus come all the way to Bath?
"Marcus, what are you doing here?" I asked my brain frantically spinning to try and guess before he told me.
"Zoe and I are going to film a few videos," he said with a smile slipping his shoes off. "Is Joe home?" he asked looking around the room.
"No he's at work," Zoe said pulling Marcus down the hallway and into the back room I was guessing to film. "Bye Alfie! We'll be filming!" she said as she shut the door.
I sighed again, why hadn't Zoe told me Marcus was coming over? He was my friend too. These little things, like I said before were really scaring me. Why did they keep coming up. They never happened before. Before everything was perfect and happy, but not anymore. That scared me a lot.
I just wanted things to be back to the way they were when we first started dating. Before everyone knew. Before there was bickering. Before everything bad and back when everything was good.
