The Big Question

*ALFIE'S POV*

We are walking along the familiar pebbly beaches of Brighton, me and Zoe stop and turn to face Madi. I don't know what it is about her, there is just something so raw and real about her and I feel this weird connection. "So" I start but Zoe continues "We have a very important question to ask you" she says to Madi and a million thoughts run through my mind. I don't understand how something like this has happened so quickly but it somehow feels like the right thng to do. I smile softly at Zoe before turning back to Madi and giving her a hopeful look. I can see her trying to figure what we are on about. I suddenly realised how beautiful she was. I know, I know, I sound like a perv but I don't mean it like that, there was just this glint in her eyes, you could tell that there was something so amazing about her, something so special and unique but there was something holding her back. I felt determined to find out what it was.

Madi breaks me from my thoughts. "What is it? What's this important question?" she says and Zoe looks her in the eye and takes her hand. "Can we adopt you?" Madi's eyes widened and her jaw dropped open.

*ZOE'S POV*

My hands are shaking and I feel incredibly nervous as I wait for Madi's answer. I don't want anything to be rushed but I can't wait. She's amazing, so strong. I feel like I could relate to her, like I could help her through everything she was dealing with. But all of this happened so fast, I don't know if she feels the same way. A single tear rolls down her cheek. She opens her eyes to say something but she stops. Instead, she nods her head gently and breaks into a huge grin. I let out a small scream of happiness and run over to give her a hug. Alfie comes to join us and my heart fills with joy. Cheesy, I know but I wanted to adopt her so much. I've wanted a child for years but I couldn't get pregnant. And now I can finally have one. And I'm so happy its Madi.

"But" she says, her voice cracking with emotion. "I need time. I've lived at the carre house for 11 years, there's no way I can go straight into living with you, not with my anxiety. I'm so sorry, I wish I could but I can't" she says and bursts into floods of tears. I hold her tight and she cries into my shoulders.

"It's ok, we don't want to rush you, if you need time, you'll get time." says Alfie and I can see Madi beaming at his words.

"Thankyou" she mumbles and she leans into our hug. I feel tears welling in my eyes and I wipe them away.

"Now, I hate to ruin the moment but its freezing out here, why don't we go get that hot chocolate" says Alfie and we laugh.

* Madis POV*

We sit in a booth in a small café, a short walk away from the beach. I hold my steaming mug of hot chocolate close to my chest as I laugh and talk with zoe and Alfie. I'm still hardly able to comprehend how all of this happened. Within 2 hours I've gone from being a depressed fangirl to being Zalfie's adoptive child. It's crazy. Great things like this just don't seem to happen to people like me.

"So, what happens when I do come home with you guys? What happens when a viewer sees us?" I ask my head suddenly spinning with worries. Their faces go serious, as if they haven't properly thought about it.

"Well, if the fans see you, then we lie and say your a fan, that you won some kind of giveaway to hang out with us, when you come home with us then we live like a family. We'll continue vlogging and if you dont mind you'll be in them and if you do then we'll make sure you're not in them. We can make it work, we want to make it work so we will." Says Alfie, squeezing my hand. I suddenly feel as if I'm worth it, as if i'm meant to be here. I know this is the right thing to do.

Soooo what did you guys think?! I know that it wasn't my greatest work but I'm just gonna go with it. Hope you enjoy Xx
