'I need you' | A zalfie fanfic

ALFIES POV 6

I rode in the back of the ambulance with Zoe on the way to the hospital, the paramedics all looked a bit worried but I didn't know why. It was just another panic attack, wasn't it?

We finally arrived and I was told to wait in the waiting area. As much as I protested, I wasn't a family member. I thought that was stupid, because I was the only person here that knew her.

She was whisked away on a stretcher/gurney and through a corridor. All I could do was sit there and hope for the best.

A nurse approached me around 20 minutes after Zoe was taken away and said I would be able to see her in about 30 minutes. She seemed a bit scared to tell me something, but I just thanked her and went to a vending machine.

I got myself a hot chocolate out of the hot drinks machine and thought back to a few hours ago when we were in costa, and I had a hot chocolate.

My eyes were welling up at the memory and now I was sat in a hospital. Why did this have to happen?

When I went back to the waiting area the same nurse took me to Zoe's room on a ward. That's weird that they put her in a room. People who have panic attacks don't usually get this treatment...

I stepped into the room and sighed deeply, running my fingers through my hair. 'Are there any family members I can contact for her?' the nurse asked me. I completely forgot to call her mum, dad and Joe! 'Yes, I'll give you her brothers number, I don't have her parents number but I'm sure her brother will give you the numbers.' I said with a nod.

'Thank you.' the nurse replied. She then shut the door to obviously give me and Zoe some privacy. I went and stood next to her bed, and she was hooked up to some weird machines. Why does she have a drip? She's not ill?

I forced myself to not think about that and I went and sat in an armchair opposite the bed. I took off my backpack and got out my laptop, it was a way to distract me from the millions of thoughts that were swirling around in my worried brain.

I began to edit a main channel video when I realised I just couldn't. I was not thinking straight.

Zoe was lying on a hospital bed and I was editing a video? That's not right.

A doctor burst through the door and I turned my head around quickly.

I can't believe it didn't wake up Zoe! She must be tired, or ill...

'Your... Alfie? Right?' the slightly balding man asked me. 'Yes, I brought Zoe in here.' I replied.

'Well,' the doctor began, 'things aren't looking very good for Zoe. We've done some tests on her and we can confirm she needs to stay overnight. We want to tell you what is wrong with her but we will wait until her immediate family are here.'

I took a deep, shaky breath and tried to stay strong, for Zoe's sake. 'Yes, I understand.' with that, the doctor rushed back out the door and left me with my best friend lying next to me.

I sat there in silence before finally letting the tears I had been holding back drip down my face.
