A pain shooting down the side of my left leg wakes me up from my deep sleep. Where am I? What happened? I feel so confused. I carefully prop myself up on the bed, wincing as I do so. Then I realise what caused the pain. My leg is tightly incased in a bright purple cast. Oh no. I feel anxiety growing inside me as the questions become more and more. Why am I here? What did I do? Where is everyone? I can't remember anything! My heart rate goes up and up, until I feel like I'm about to be sick. Suddenly, a flash of movement crosses my eyes and I see my mum racing towards my, a look of sheer terror on her face. "Zoe! Zoe are you awake? Can you hear me? I need a nurse here! Quickly!". I reach out and squeeze my mums hand for comfort. It feels so good to my mother beside me, it assures me that I'm not dreaming. "Mum?!" I try to say it as loud as I can over the noise but no matter how hard I try, only a faint speak comes out".
"Zoe! Oh my goodness! You gave me a fright! Are you okay sweetheart? Do you remember anything?". All these questions! "Mum, what happened?"
At this moment her face goes a shade a pure white and her face turns to her feet. "Mum! What happened!" I say for a second time, tears streaming down my face. "You had a panic attack love, but it wasn't like the normal. You were on the stage at vid con and something happened that set you off, I don't know what. After that you tried to run away but your foot tripped over a wire on stage and you fell. Good thing is no major injuries, just a broken leg, that's all! I'm so sorry love."
It all starts flooding back to me. The meet and greet, the show, the questions...oh no, now I remember. In my head I see Alfie at the far side of the table...he's saying something about us, about zalfie. It must of been something bad because then i see myself running, running away. Then it all goes dark.
Soon enough another set of questions come into my head. Where did he say that? Did anyone record it? Is it all over the Internet? Why did I run? Where is Alfie?
A sound from the door shakes me out of my day dream and my eyes dart up and lay eyes on a tall figure. He looks familiar. Then I realise. It's my boyfriend. It's Alfie.
