Alfie's P.O.V.
Do you know that feeling you get when you're really nervous? Before a big test or something. It's like that watermelon seed you are when you were 8 years old is finally starting to grow. It gets heavier and starts to expand in your stomach. You can't breathe anymore, and when you try to breathe in air... you choke.
That's what I felt like as Zoe fell.
Then the adrenaline of being in a stressful situation kicked in. I lunged forward and caught her.
She scared the shit out of me today. I was so confused. Why would somebody just pass out? I mean, I know she has panic attacks, but I've never seen one that bad.
My mind started to fill with terrible questions. What if she didn't wake up? What would i do without Zoe? I can't imagine a life without her. I can't imagine going a day without hearing her bubbly laugh, or seeing her sparkling blue eyes.
And that's what made me realize it.
I've been falling for her.
She's put me under a spell, and I don't even mind.
I know it's crazy, but let me explain.
The word "love" has 28 definitions in the dictionary, so here are a few...
1. A profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person
2. A feeling of warm personal attachment or deep affection, as for a parent, a child, or friend
3. Sexual passion or desire
I can honestly say that those all apply to Zoe...my best friend. I knew that I loved her as a friend, but almost losing her has made me realise that I like her more than that. And yes I'll admit I've imagined us in a deep hot make-out session before, but that's not the point.
The point is, if you can't imagine your life without someone, then doesn't that mean you love them?
