Imperfections (Zalfie)

Alfie

I was in London for the next few days, meetings and such.

Marcus and Joe were here too, so we decided to go to the same hotel and go out at nights. Enjoy London a little too.

I had just booked into my hotel and met with Marcus as we waited for Joe. I don't see why we didn't all get the same train and meet then. Oh well.

Joe had finally arrived, half an hour later and we decided to get a Nandos.

The rest of the day was continuous meetings and I was beginning to get bored, going off into a dream of how much I would rather be with Zoe.

------------------------------------------------

It's our last night here and I can't wait to go back to Zoe. We have been facetiming everynight and she looks a little bit ill. I hope she is okay but I wish I was there to look after her.

I know Niomi will be there but it isn't the same knowing you're in London having
fun with your mates whilst your girlfriend is back at home being sick.

I said I'd be there for her and right now I am not. That breaks my heart a little inside,
but I know when I get home I will look after her the best I can.

Something is really bugging me about Zoe, I still don't know what it is but i'll try and get it out of her soon. I don't want to pry but I know that she is hiding it from me and that makes me a little uneasy.

What could be so big that she can't tell me? She knows she can tell me anything. Why is this so different?

2 MONTHS LATER

Zoe's out again. She's been going out a lot recently and I'm starting to get suspicious. She wouldn't cheat on me, would she?

She's been out all day and she won't tell me why or where. She just makes up an excuse, but I know she is lying. I can tell when she's lying. Her breathing changes and her nose twitches, kinda cute.

It's been making me upset recently but now I just feel angry. Angry at her and why she is leaving me constantly for this other guy she is with!

I feel myself growing more angry the more I think about the topic. I started to run my hands furiously through my hair, scratching at my scalp. I grab the nearest thing to me, which is a lamp, and through it at the wall, watching it smash into smitherines.

As if on cue, the door opens and in walks the liar herself.

I let my actions take over, "Where the hell have you been?!" I roar

Her eyes go wide with...fear? She notices the smashed lamp and she backs up, clearly terrified.

I know I should stop, but I can't. Something has taken over.
