Zoe's POV 4pm
After a long drive, we finally arrived at Joe's apartment.
'You'll be staying in Caspars room, if that's okay. Caspar is away and I'm not sure when he's back'
I smiled. 'That's fine. Thanks so much, Broseph' I said, giving him a quick hug. We headed into the apartment and I sighed, finally feeling safe. Joe and I took my bags into Caspars room and I sat on the bed, pulling out my vlog camera and laptop. I hit upload on the explanation video without editing or even re-watching it first. I said what was on my mind and there was no going back now... After some more encouraging words and a long hug, Joe left me in the room to get my head around things. I lay there and cried until I fell asleep.

Joe's POV 7pm

After such a hard day, I figured Zoe might be hungry. I knocked gently on the bedroom door and after a couple of seconds passed with no response, I opened it and peeked in. I saw Zoe, curled up looking tiny, with tear stained cheeks and closed eyes. I sighed. I hated seeing her like this. Alfie was such a snake, Zoe did nothing to deserve this! Her being in pain was making me want to break down, but I had to stay strong for her...

I entered the room and crouched down next to the bed, gently placing my hand on her cold arm. 'Zo?' I whispered softly. 'wake up'. She began to stir and her eyes fluttered open. 'Oh, Joe...D-did I fall asleep for long?' she said, looking up at me, still half asleep. I nodded. 'Yeah, like two and a half hours. I have pizza ready. I know you love it and I thought you might be hungry' I explained. She nodded a little and sat up. 'Zo, you're freezing.' I said, grabbing a cozy looking cardigan from her bag and handing it to her. She put it on and followed me to the kitchen, where I took the pizza out and poured us some drinks. We made our way to the living room where we chatted and ate pizza until we fell asleep.

Zoe's POV 6pm next day
I could no longer resist the urge to see how people had react to my explanation video. I had spent the day watching TV and crying and enough was enough. I grabbed my laptop and carried it into Joe's room. 'Joe... I really want to see how people have reacted. It's been killing me all day' I sighed, flopping onto the bed. He nodded at me and hesitated for a moment. 'Okay, but I'm going to check your Instagram and Twitter comments first, I don't want you getting hurt' he said firmly, picking up his phone and unlocking it. I opened my laptop and went into YouTube, not yet clicking into the video. 'Ten million views in 24 hours' I gasped, looking at Joe who was staring down at his phone.

'Um.. Zo, maybe it not a good idea to look-'
I didn't care. I was going to look anyways... I clicked into the video and first checked the like to dislike ratio. My eyes immediately filled with tears and my heart began to race.  1K likes, 3.2 million dislikes...

'Zoe, I told you not to!' Joe said, looking at me worriedly. I just sighed as a tear rolled down my cheek. I scrolled down to the comments, scared for what I was about to see. Immediately, a sea of comments with the snake emoji filled my screen. Every comment I saw called me a liar and sided with Alfie. I saw some insults that I wish I could block out of my mind forever, but it was too late. The damage had been done.

Alfie had ruined me forever...
