If Only I Had The Words {Zalfie/Joella}

[14]

The officers finished up their teas, I was mostly quiet throughout the interview, after Richard dropped the bomb on me. Someone was out there trying... to kill me? I always known people to hate me but for someone to actually try and kill me was defiantly a slap in the face.

Alfie had explained that Courtney was by his side throughout the time I was driving my car. They had gone back to his house and began sexual intercourse before Alfie got a phone call from Marcus saying I was in an accident. If Courtney didn't try to kill me then who did? "Did you see the person in the car?" I asked, each officer looked up at me, eating their biscuits. "Like on the CCTV?"

"No, if we did, this case would be a whole lot easier. The male or female was seen wearing a black cap which blocked their faces, they were wearing all black." Officer James said, pulling out a piece of paper from his pocket. "Looked like this- familiar?" He said, I shook my head at the picture. I couldn't see the face so how was that suppose to be familiar?

"Look we got to head off to another case. But if you have any problems or evidence- don't be afraid to give us a call." Richard smiled, before handing me a small piece of paper.

"Will I be safe?" I croaked, cradling the paper in my hand. Alfie's hand was on my knee, calming me down in every way possible. "I could go and stay at my friends house or my parents, but what if they found me?"

"Zoe, your as safe as you'll ever be. You live in a building where the front door is locked and you have to call the apartment to get in and to get into your flat, you have to go into an elevator." He said, but none of his words were making me feel safe. "We'll talk to the employee at the lobby, making sure they check who comes in and out."

"Thank you, that means a lot." I mumbled, my eyes tearing up with water. This is too much for one day.

"Bye Zoe!" They all called, the door slammed shut and that was when I burst into tears, my head in my hands. Alfie's hand rubbed up and down my arm, calming me down and whispering soothing things in my ear. My life was in danger, my life will be in constant security.

"Look I need to go, but call me if yo-"

"Stay with me." I cried, leaning up from my hands and staring into Alfie's brown eyes. "I don't want to be alone, I'm so scared." I whispered, the tears stinging my eyes as they fell. "Please,"

He bent down in front on me, his eyes securely on mine. "I'll stay, I will do anything you want me too. I'll have to tell my subscribers I had to cancel on filming tonight- do you want some water?" He asked, his hand on my knee again. I nodded, lying back on the couch. I looked out the window and saw the beach, the moonlight was shining into the sea reflecting onto my window. What if the person that was trying to kill me was watching at this very second? What if he was aiming a gun right at me?

Alfie came back, a glass of water in his hand. He sat down next to me, I took the water from his hands, sipping the water carefully. "Movie?" He questioned, I smiled and nodded. I was too afraid to speak, maybe someone had placed microphones in this apartment and was tracing my voice this very second? "I'll put Aladdin on because I know you love that film,"

"Thank you Alfie," I croaked, sipping on water. "If you weren't here, I'd be by myself scared to death."

"Anything for you Zoe." He smiled before sitting down next to me, making me feel warmth and safety.

"What gaming video were you going to do tonight?" I asked, watching Aladdin on the screen- I've always fancied Aladdin, ever since I was a eleven year old girl.

"I was going to play The House 2 on my Mac, but that can wait till tomorrow." He said, his gaze on the TV. I had a feeling Alfie picked this because he liked it.

"Will it... be o-okay... if I collab with you? I know in the vlog I said I wanted to quit YouTube but maybe if I get back into making videos I'll want to stay on YouTube." I explained, it was really a top of mind thought which came into my head but saying it out loud made me think that it was a great idea.

The House 2 didn't seem that bad, what was it about? It's called The House 2 so I don't know what to expect. "Of course! It good to try and do something you love again!" He exclaimed, a big grin on his face.

Throughout the movie, I felt my eyes becoming droopy, my head gradually falling onto Alfie's shoulder. A ring tone in my pocket snapped my out of my pocket- who calls me at ten at night? "Excuse me," I whispered before walking into my bedroom, shutting the door behind me. I saw Jacks name on the screen, smiling. "Hey Jack, what's up?"

"Sorry for calling you so late, I just wanted to hear your voice." He croaked, his voice hoarse and dry. "I dreamt the whole accident in my sleep and well... Panicked because I thought it was real and happened again."

"Are you okay Jack?" I asked quietly, swinging my left arm. "Like are you on drugs?" I laughed, hearing his raspy laugh on the other line.

"I promise you Zoe Sugg, I am defiantly not on drugs," He laughed, I sat on the bed thinking about what Alfie is doing now- he's probably going to wonder who's on the phone? I'll just say Louise since he seems to have a disliking towards Jack, no idea why "What are you doing right now?" Jack asked, I gulped- should I tell him I with Alfie?

"I'm with Louise, having a pamper night." I said, feeling guilty about lying to Jack. "She's probably waiting for me so I better I go-"

"Wait!" He sighed. Was he okay?

"What?" I whispered, my head ducking as if he was there with me.

"I wanna take you out tomorrow night, to a nice restaurant." He said, I blushed thankfully he couldn't see me because he would probably tease me about it.

"I'd love to." I said quietly, "I gotta go but I'll see you tomorrow."

"Bye Zoe." and the line went dead. I walked out my bedroom, hearing snores coming from the living room. Alfie laid on the sofa, his feet on the arms of the couch. I sat on the other side of the couch and closed my eyes, falling into a deep slumber.
