The Ship Sails

Home?

Alfie's POV:

I had so much fun working with Zoe. The collab was better than I expected she was hilarious. Even after she made me food and made my all time favorite drink: Hot choclate. I was tempted just to stay but I knew I had to go home, besides I had only known Zoe a week really, even though it felt like ages. I honestly have only ever had one girlfriend, or one girl that I truly considered my girlfriend. I hadn't kissed too many girls either, now I've had my fair share of one night stands and such but that's all they were. Zoe was one of the first girls I truly wanted a relationship with.

I got a text letting me know my driver was outside. It's truly embarrassing to admit but I still didn't have my license and I hadn't even taken my driving test yet. I had hugged Zo goodbye and shouted a goodbye to Joe as well, and he truly was as funny as he seemed in his videos we got on well.

Once in the car I had pulled out my memory card and plugged it into my laptop. I knew it was a good idea to start editing now because I had so much footage to go through and for once I might be able to put a video up on time much to the surprise of my friends. They constantly made jokes about the fact that I was so bad at posting my videos, but I was working on it.

Going through all the footage made me cringe. There were so many times when you could see all the feelings I had for Zoe right on my face it was embarrassing. The beginning was good because we lip synced to one of my favorite songs and I didn't look at Zoe too many times, but other than that I just gawked at her. I was also worried about the footage we shot on her camera. Was I doing the same thing? Is she cringing watching me drool over her? I put it out of my head as the driver pulled up to the front of our flat. I noticed all the lights were out so I quietly unlocked the door and felt my way around in the dark up to my room, I popped my head in to say goodnight to Marcus only he wasn't alone in his bed. A blond girl was lying with him and they were spooning. Marcus wasn't a cuddler and he didn't stay with the same girl, but this wasn't the first time I caught them together. In fact she was the only girl I had caught with him for a while now. I was going to have to ask him about her later, but decided to quietly close the door and go to my room. We could take about it in the morning.

Waking up the next day was odd. I don't know Zoe and I hadn't talked or skyped which was weird considering we had done that the two days after we got back from Florida. I checked my phone and had no new notifications or texts. Then I remembered, today my makeup video with Zoe was going up. Good thing I edited on the drive now all I had to do was add the links, and title and I was set. I texted Zoe letting her know I was ready. We had decided we were going to upload at the same time. She gave me the okay and I got a notification saying:

@Zozeebo: NEW VIDEO!! WITH @Pointlessblog  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgDnxkZHgaQ

I responded "@Zozeebo I did a wonderful job."

I had tweeted out my link as well. Soon enough we were both getting blasted with tweets it was really cute, but we weren't the only people who uploaded. Marcus and Tyler had filmed a video while we were in Florida in the Youtube house I hadn't bothered asking what it was about. I just saw that they had tweeted the link to the video so him being my best mate I watched it. It ws going alright until I saw a category for the Youtube Awards titled: Best Couple. Knowing Marcus I knew what he would put down and instantly I was furious but I wanted to see what Tyler put. When it was time to reveal their answers they both answered with one word: Zalfie.

I was mad as all hell. 

He told Tyler he must've he wouldn't have said that unless he told him! I ran into Marcus's room and didn't even bother confronting him about the girl he was with. 

"You told Tyler I liked Zoe didn't you!"

"What no why would you- Oh"

"How could you!"

"I didn't but you just admitted you liked her, I only assumed you did."

"Wait- what?"

I froze and realized what I had just said. 

I liked Zoe.

I had been fighting it all this time. I didn't truly know if I did but in a moment of rage I had admitted what I knew all along. I sat down on his bed omg, what was I going to do? At the rate I'm going I am going to be stuck in the friendzone. In that moment I remembered the girl Marcus was with.

"Hey mate?"

"Yea Alf?"

"Who was the blond girl in your bed last night? I walked in to say goodnight and she was here, and she has been here a lot."

"Her name is Niomi. I think I'm in love with her mate."

I just nodded I kinda gathered this in my head last night. It was nice to hear from Marcus. At least now when he talks to Zoe I know he isn't flirting or anything. I was actually excited for once.

"Marcus, Zoe invited me to go and meet her friend Louise in two weeks, I just wanted to give you a heads up."

"That's fine Alf, I'll just chill with Niomi."

I shuddered I knew what he meant when he said that.
