Gone | Where is Zoë Sugg?

03

Zoe's POV
I was frozen to the spot with fear. There were huge groups of paparazzi outside the house, as well as some confused looking neighbours and angry looking fans.

Suddenly, there were screams and camera, flashes as people began to notice me at the window. I gasped and shut the blind quickly, my heart racing. I hurried around the house, pulling all the blinds. They were in the back garden too! There were about six people standing with cameras in the garden, right beside the glass doors. I felt trapped in my own home!

I kept pulling the blinds and making sure the doors were locked, ignoring the shouts and flashes. I ran back upstairs and called Joe.

'Hello? Joe!'
'Hey Zo, don't worry I'm about 2 minutes away' he said.
'The press have found my house!' I cried. 'They're taking pictures and banging on the windows! I've pulled all the blinds and locked the doors'
'Oh no...don't panic! I'll give them a piece of my mind...'
'Joe please don't say anything! Just walk by them!' I pleaded.
'I'll see you soon' he replied calmly and hung up.

******
I stayed in my room, peeping outside the blinds waiting for joe. As soon as I saw his car, I ran downstairs and stood by the door. There were shouts and screams from outside. I made out joes figure outside the door. I quickly let him in and re-locked the door.

Without saying a word, we exchanged a long, tight hug. 'It'll be okay' he whispered. I shook my head.
'What will I do?! They know where I live!'
'Go and pack some bags. You can stay at mine until this is all sorted out, okay?'
I sighed with relief. 'Okay, good idea.'

I hurried back upstairs and grabbed a big bag. I packed loads of clothes and my laptop, phone and vlog camera, although I wasn't sure I'd want to see what people had been saying about me online...

After I had packed all of my stuff, I ran back downstairs to joe, who was on his phone. 'Ready to go?' He asked. I nodded and he stood up.
'Okay, good. They'll all freak out, but you need to keep your head up and walk straight past them. Those people out there want a good story, but we're not going to give them the satisfaction of knowing that you're upset, alright?' Joe announced, grabbing my hand and squeezing it tightly. 'If they come near you I'll kick them to the moon and back!' He smiled. I smiled a little, squeezing his hand back. 'Okay.'

I took a deep breath as Joe opened the door. Almost immediately the shouts and flashes started again.

'Zoella! Where's Mark?'
'Zoe! Over here!'
'Can I have a quick interview!'
'Why did you cheat on Alfie?!'
'You're an awful role model to young people!'
'Are you going to say sorry?!'

All the voices were roaring at once. My heart was pounding but I wouldn't let them see me cry. Joe, still clasping my hand, let me quickly towards the car. We got in and drove away as quickly as possible.

As we sped away from Brighton and the Zalfie house, my heart beat began to slow down again and my breaths were more normal.
'You okay?' Joe asked.
'Yeah, I feel a lot better now. I just can't believe all of this has happened!'
Joe sighed. 'You couldn't help it. Alfie is such a ****. I can't stand him anymore'
'Maybe I should make a quick video, properly explaining things before it goes even further?' I suggested.
'Good idea'

I grabbed my camera and pressed record, setting it down on front of me.

'Hello everyone. Sorry about all the noise, I'm in the car and you know... I wasn't exactly expecting to have to film this! But I feel like this whole situation needs a proper explanation, because right now, there are only rumours and lies going around.'

'As you can see by the title of this video, I did not cheat on Alfie Deyes. I'm going to tell you everything from the beginning. That's always a good place to start, isn't it'

'Okay. So basically, the past few weeks, Alfie has been picking fights with me, practically over anything and everything. He would snap at me and be rude and I never really knew why! Then he started avoiding me and going to his office a lot. Yesterday, I hadn't heard from him all day so I called him.

It sounded as if there was a female voice in the background. I asked him who it was but he told me that it was just a YouTube video. It didn't sound like YouTube video, it sounded like a person! So naturally I was suspicious but I didn't do anything about it. That evening when Alfie came home Mark also came round. As you all know,  Mark is my best friend and nothing more than that. The next morning when I woke up Alfie was nowhere to be seen. He wasn't in the house and I couldn't find him.

Naturally, as social media is my job, I checked my phone to look at my notifications. I noticed that there were much more then usual so I clicked on one and it brought me to Alfie's most recent tweets which I will insert on the screen right now.'

'When I saw these tweets I was extremely confused! I never cheated on him! In fact, I was suspicious that he was cheating on me!'

'Alfie lied, everybody. He never specified who I supposedly cheated on him with, so people just assumed it was Mark! Because of this, Mark won't even speak to me anymore! These false claims have ruined our friendship!'

'The only reasons I can think of for Alfie lying are that he wanted to cover up the fact that he cheated on me, or else he wanted the attention!'

I sighed. 'I hope you guys can understand my side of the story. Alfie lied and I really do hope that you know that if you believed him, then you played a part in ruining a friendship. The press were surrounding my house this morning! All because of two false tweets! In a relationship, you shouldn't do anything that you wouldn't want the other person to do. If you don't want them to cheat or lie, then you shouldn't cheat or lie yourself!'

'Anyways...thanks for watching. Hopefully next Sunday we can back to the normal upload! Bye guys'

I said, waving and turning the camera off.
