Zoe POV (sorry I had to!)
I went downstairs to see a warm cup of tea waiting for me in the sitting room. I picked it up the went to sit next to Joe.
"So how is YouTube going?" I asked, lightly blowing of my steaming drink.
"Yeah, I just hit 2,000000!" Joe answered proudly.
"Aww," I said hugging him "Widdle Joey is gowwing up!"
"Zoe, don't tease your poor brother!" My mother snapped.
"Its fine Mum, honestly!" He said pulling me into a hug.
"Whats for dinner?" I asked.
"Roast chicken and all the trimmings!" My dad said proudly.
"Awesome!" Me and Joe said at the same time.
Just then my phone buzzed.
"Oh, sorry! One sec!" I said walking out the room, pulling the door in.
I opened my text messages to see:
Alfie♥
R u alright now?
How on earth did he get my number? That is practically stalking!!! Which is wrong on so many levels of wrongness. I gazed at the message for a few more moments then texted him back saying:
Zoe♥
How did u get my number?
He replied almost instantly.
Alfie♥
I thought u may need someone to talk to so I put my number in your phone.
Really? I'm not some charity case! Before I could text back my mother called for me to come back.
I walked back in with a small smile.
"Sorry about that, my friend was just asking for some help." I lied.
"Oh okay."
Just then the buzzer went, "Oh that's dinner ready!" My dad burst off the couch, sprinting to the kitchen.
"Zoe can I quickly talk to you?" My mother asked.
"Um, yes?" I said.
Joe walked out to help dad.
"Look Zoe, I know things between us havent been perfect but I think we should just get along again, for our sakes?" She said reaching out for my hand.
"That would be nice." I said, sniffing as some tears came to my sapphire eyes.
I reached out, my jumper sleeve going down a bit.
"Zoe," My mother gasped "Are those self-harming scars?"
"I-I, yes they are." My head hung in shame.
"B-but when?" She asked a tear swimming down her pale cheek.
"It was a couple of years ago, when things were tough, you know, when I was having that really bad time."
"Hon when was your last anxiety attack?" My mother said.
"Today." I sighed.
"But who was with you?"
"This guy I met at Starbucks, his name is Alfie."
"A stranger?"
"No- Yeah, but he did help calm me down, so that's good right?"
"Is that who you were texting love?"
"Ummm," I said not sure whether to tell her or not.
"Its fine, your 19 for goodness sake!"
"Alright it was!"
"Can I hug you now?" My mother asked standing up.
"Anytime." I whisped tears racing silently down my pale cheeks, marking my blush-covered cheeks.
We hugged for,what felt like, forever until Joe walked in on us.
"Dinners ready!" He said smiling at us.
I smiled back, then took my mothers hand in my own. She looked down shocked at my kindness, but gladly took my hand in her own.
"I've always loved your tiny hands Zo!" She said smiling.
"Oh thanks?" I said smiling back.
"Right let's get dinner!"
