When we met(a zalfie fanfic)

Alfie

I woke up late as usually to the sound of my noisy flat mate and best friend Marcus attempting to make breakfast. I didn't feel like getting up yet so i grabbed my phone and unlocked it. I had 3 missed calls from my mum and 7 text messages from several people. I didn't bother reading any of them, it was probably just more bad news.

Ive had a streak of bad luck recently, last week i lost my job working in a retail store leaving me relying on Marcus to pay my half of the rent. Ive also just been dumped by my girlfriend Gabby. She told me she had fallen out of love and admitted to kissing 2 other guys. I thought she was the one, i wanted to spend the rest of my life with this girl. Now I'm left heartbroken. I had to get out i couldn't stay depressed forever.

I swung my legs round off the bed and jumped in the shower. The water seemed to drown some of the pain. I then got dressed in a pair of black skinny jeans and a white t shirt and went downstairs. I pulled on my converse, grabbed my keys, took a bite of toast and i was off.

"Marcus I'm going for a walk, i'll be back later" i shouted into the kitchen.

"Be back before 10" he replied imitating a mother's voice.

I chuckled then exposed myself to the harsh weather outside. I walked for about half and hour before deciding i couldn't stand the wind and rain any longer. I was just around the corner from my apartment when i bumped into a pretty girl around my age. She fell to the ground and straight into a large puddle.

"I'm so sorry, are you ok" i said reaching out my hand.

"It's ok, i'm fine" she replied taking hold of my hand and pushing herself up.

"Umm do you want to come back to my apartment to get cleaned up?" I asked, now she was standing up i realised how beautiful she actually was even with makeup smudged around her eyes and tangled hair.

"Honestly it's fine, i only live down the road anyway."

"Ok at least let me walk you back there then."

I was slightly disheartened that she didn't want to come back to my apartment as i would have loved to get to know her, but i guess i had only just met her. It was weird even though we just met it felt like i'd known her my whole life.

I walked her home, she only lived round the corner from me, i'm surprised i haven't seen her before. She took steps up the path before disappearing into her building. I stood outside just thinking about her for a while then it hit me, i didn't even know her name.
