d r o w n i n g [a zoella fanfiction]

pro [third person]

'The car crash that shook Youtube fans and members around the world, coming up at eleven."

You and your friends sit around the tv, waiting in silence. You listen for the names of those you never knew, but did love.

"A van registered to Zoe Sugg, or Zoella, crashed into a 18 wheeler and rolled into a river a matter of hours ago. Among the dead were Louise Pentland, Joe Sugg, Darcy Pentland, Tina Sugg and Dave Sugg, Alfie Dayes, Jim Chapman and Jack Harries. Zoe Sugg was the only survivor who managed to climb to the surface in time, seeing as she sufficed almost no injuries."

Quiet. All of you look at the tv screen, confused and dazed. Just a day ago you all were texting, chatting about when Louise would put little Darcy in a new video, if Jack or Finn was hotter and how Zalfie was real. It was all over. A few pictures slide onto the screen, Zoe on a stretcher, the submerged car, and worst of all, a line of empty body bags next to some divers. There's bigger and smaller ones. You know who each one if for, and you wish you didn't. The room is quiet still. You all state at the black screen once you give up and turning it off. Dumbfounded.
