*Holly's P.O.V*

After the two hour drive from London to Brighton, Mark finally pulled up in Zoe and Alfie's driveway, next to their cars. Mark and I got out the car and as he went round to get our bags from the boot, the front door opened and Zoe stood there, vlogging camera in her hand and a big smile on her face.

"Hey!" She exclaimed as we took our things inside, and struggled to get my suitcase inside as well.

"Hi!" I giggled as she gave me a huge hug.

"Hello!" Mark grinned as she hugged him as well. Nala was also there, excitable as ever and we gave her a lot of attention as well. The three of us then ended up literally standing by the front door, laughing about pretty much everything either of us said. Ah, it was never a dull time when we were with Zoe or Alfie.

After we'd calmed down, Zoe took us up to the spare room, but not before saying to me, "You could wait until Alfie gets home before you try to lug your suitcase upstairs; he might have an easier job of it."

"That's probably a good idea." I laughed, nodding in agreement.

"He probably won't be much longer. He's just at his office at the moment and he should be finishing up soon." She said.

"Okay." I replied with a smile before she took me and Mark upstairs, into the spare bedroom we would be sharing for the summer. We would have to share a bed, but that wasn't an issue. To be honest, it wasn't much different from when I was little and I used to crawl into bed with Mark whenever I couldn't sleep or had a bad dream.

Zoe, being the lovely angel that she is, even got Mark and I some little gifts. She got Mark some skincare products and makeup for me. She'd gotten me the Too Faced Sweet Peach eyeshadow palette and a NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in a shade called Sydney, which was a gorgeous soft, lavender pink sort of colour. She also got us a Cadbury's Twirl bar each.

"I know how badly you've been wanting the Sweet Peach palette and I know how much you love NYX products and I thought the colour would really suit you." Zoe told me.

"Oh, Zoe, thank you." I gushed, giving her a gigantic hug, as if I was hoping to show all my gratitude in just one hug.

"That's okay." Zoe smiled, as Mark thanked and hugged her as well.

We then went back downstairs and after about half an hour of more chatting, cry-laughing and just being idiots in general, Alfie turned up.

"Hey, kiddo." He grinned at me, as I happened to be on my way to the bathroom just as he walked through the door and we ended up crossing paths.

"Hey, Alf." I smiled back at the tall brunette.

"How long ago did you arrive?" He wondered.

"Not too long. An hour or so?" I replied and he nodded in understanding before I asked, "Hey, so, my suitcase is super heavy and Zoe said you'd be able to help me get it upstairs so... Do you mind help me?"

Alfie chuckled, "I don't mind at all, Holls." He grabbed the handle of my suitcase which was still by the front door and got it upstairs and into mine and Mark's room almost effortlessly.

"Thanks." I beamed gratefully.

"No problem, kid." He pulled me into a quick side hug, "Anyways, shall we go back downstairs?"

"I actually just need to use the loo, but I'll meet you down there."

"Okie dokie."

So, Alfie went back downstairs while I nipped into the ensuite of the spare room and did what I needed to do, before going downstairs myself and meeting everyone in the "cosy room" as Zoe and Alfie called it.

"Hey, Holls, how do you fancy going out somewhere for tea?" Zoe asked me.

"That sounds fun." I said with a nod.

"Great, anywhere in particular you want to go?"

"I don't mind, anywhere's good."

"How about Bill's?" Alfie suggested.

"Yeah, alright, we haven't been there in a while. You two alright with that?" Zoe asked Mark and I.

"Yeah." We replied in perfect sync, sending us and Zoe into another fit of giggles. Alfie just playfully rolled his eyes and got out his vlogging camera to tell his viewers what nutters we were.

So, just as planned, Zoe drove us all down to the Brighton Lanes and we went into Bill's. It was a lovely restaurant and I ordered macaroni cheese because it was one of my favourite foods ever and I also got a banana, honey and cashew milkshake which actually tasted amazing and I think I could call it my new favourite flavour of milkshake.

Dinner in general was really, really nice and just like at Zoe and Alfie's, it consisted of a lot of laughing and messing around, but this time Alfie joined in on the fun too. I really did enjoy myself, and I hadn't seen Zoe or Alfie in a little while so it was so great to spend some quality time with them again, and my big brother, of course.
