**Alfie's POV**

I woke up to a a slight knocking on my car window. My eyes opened and I saw Zoe smiling at me from outside. I smiled, wondering if this is how it felt to wake up next to Zoe, sort of. I rolled down the window, "Hey, Zoe whats up?"

She smiled again, "Nothing, Anne and Gemma came to visit Harry but that's it. Um, I just wanted to come wake you up because I am going to go get some breakfast with my dad. I didn't want you to miss it." I stretched for a bit, then I opened the door and walked out of the car.

"Zoe," I said more serious, she turned around, "We have to call everyone and tell them. They need to know what's happened. Marcus, Jim, and Tanya. They have to know." A look of realization washed over her face. She nodded understandingly as we walked through the doors of the hospital.

We all sat in Joe's room, eating some food that Harry's stepdad had brought. He drove here seperatly, because of work, but he thoughtfully picked up some food on the way. And for the record I was starving. We ate slowly and awkwardly even though I wanted to eat as if it was my last meal. Mr. Sugg was continuously glancing over at Joe as if he was nervous of missing the exact moment of his son waking up again. I felt bad for him really. I think him and Zoe were expecting Joe to wake up before Harry because his injuries were not as serious. It has already been nearly twenty-four hours and he still has not woken up. We are all starting to get more nervous as more time passes.

Suddely in the middle of our silent meal, Zoe put her phone to her ear, and walked out of the room. I quickly shoved the last bite of food into my mouth and scurried out of the room. When I got outside into the hallway. I saw her talking on the phone and nodding. Once she hung up, I walked over to her.

"That was Tanya. I told her and Jim about the accident and they are coming to see him. Hopefully he will wake up by then." She said miserably. I put my hand on Zoe's shoulder and she looked up at me with a sad smile. Zoe then called Jack, Finn and Marcus.

We walked back inside, "Finally." Mr. Sugg said as son as he saw us, "I have been dying to get to the bathroom, I don't like leaving him alone." He rushed out of the room and me and Zoe just sat down scrolling though social media. After a few minutes, a deafening sound started coming from the Joe's heart moniter. I stood up and Zoe screamed as a team of the medical staff rushed in. I looked at Zoe, her hands were clenched into fists as she was struggling against the doctors to get to Joe. Her voice got more impatient with each yell. In spite of myself, I hurried up to her and wrapped my arms around her waist and lifted her gently off the cold tile floor. Each time she slowed a doctor down, added to the amount of time Joe's heart was not beating. As I brought Zoe to the back of the room she screamed and kicked, doing anything to get to her brother. No matter what I  whispered in her ear to comfot her, she continued to try to break free.

"Alfie, please let go of me." She pleaded, "I need to stay by his side."

I shook my head at Zoe until I looked up when the doctor shouted, "Charge the panels to 200... and clear!" 
The doctor took the panels and placed them onto Joe's chest. I sound of electricity filled the room as Joe's chest jumped up. "Charge the panels to 300!" The doctor shouted again. The heart moniter showed that Joe had heartbeat, it was unstable, but still there. "And... Clear!" Joe's chest jumped up again. Me and Zoe continued to watch in horror as the nurse placed something over his mouth to helo him get oxygen. He then turned around and saw us and frown that we were still in the room.

"You two should leave now." She said as she pushed me, still holding Zoe, out of the room. Zoe once again fought against my hold until her father walked over to us. "W-what happened?" 

I spoke up and told him of Joe's unexpected cardiac arrest. He nodded quickly with each sentance I spoke, he clutched onto a jacket he was holding, it was Joe's jacket. We all watched in silence as they continued to shock Joe and pump his chest. We watched until a nurse walked over and closed the door, cutting off the only view reassuring us all that Joe was still alive.
