Zoellas POV

We have spent the past two or three days looking at houses to buy, as a new family. But though we will be moving in together, Stacy and Skyler still have to go back home for a little bit to pack and everything. It saddens me to think about Skyler being thousands of miles away all over again, even if she is coming back.

It's late now, almost midnight. Which meant wherever ashton was it would be around ten in the morning. I decide to text him, hoping he's up. I haven't talked to him in about a day.

Z: I miss you.

I sent this directly at midnight, late night thoughts at their best. I miss him like crazy. He made me feel safe and happy. And him being gone scares me. It's been about two weeks he's been gone. We talk a substantial amount I guess, but it feels like we never do. My thoughts go on and on for about ten minutes when he responds.

All he responds with is this link, when I open it, it is a song. Arms, by Christina Perri. Within the first few seconds of it playing through my headphones, I am crying. I listen to the whole song before responding.

Z: You are my home. Wherever you are, that's where I want my home to be, with you.

A: Zoella, can I call you, I know it must be very late for you, but I need to say it and I can't text it. I wish it could be in person, but we are on different parts of this planet. It will be quick.

I look over at Skyler fast asleep next to me, thinking if it's a good idea because I may wake her.

Z: Yeah, call me.

I quickly silent my phone and watch the screen as it goes to the call screen, I answer it.

"I love you." Ashton blurts in a loud whisper. Not holding it in any longer, I sniffle. "Are you crying? Why?" He says, in a quiet panic.

"I love you too." Is all I say, sniffling even more, "Ashton." I say, wanting to say the right thing.

"Yeah?" He says, I can't tell his emotions through the phone well.

"When you put you're arms around me-" I sniffle before finishing;

"And you're home.." He finishes for me.

I cry even more, as I hit end and go back to texts, knowing if I keep hearing his voice, my quiet sob will be loud.

As we text, all Ashton does is try to get me to be happy, but I am happy. The only thing saddening me is that I can't be in his arms, I can't be home.

I slowly drift off, not responding to the last texts he has sent me. I drift off with a tear rolling down my cheek and a slight smile on my face. I have had butterflies for about thirty minutes or more at this point, and they won't go away.

Now, I'm in the bathroom, puking. Were those butterflies or something else? I look at my phone, it's almost four in the morning. I ignore the last text ashton sent and text him for help. He responds right away, which I'm glad he does because I need him. I start puking again, not being able to answer Ashton, and within minutes, I hear my dad running into my room, to my bathroom where I was sat on the floor crying.

"What happened? Are you alright?" He asks, wetting a small rag to wipe my face.

I cry more and more as the pain grows, "It wasn't butterflies." Is all I manage to get out before puking more. I'm only vomiting liquids, which is making me dizzy.

My dad is now yelling for Stacy, to start the car and warm it up and to put shoes on. He runs to wake up Sky, who is already awake from him yelling, "Can you put her sweater on and shoes please, you aswell?" He asks her, which she soon comes in and sees me sitting on the floor, pale and lifeless.

"Ashton." I whisper, feeling so drained and tired. She picks up my phone and sees a lot of texts and missed calls from Ashton. She dials his number and calls him.

I can't hear what he is saying only her as she helps me stand up and and lets my dad wrap his arm around me to help me walk, he holds a bucket in front of me. I begin to see spots and I feel faint as we get into the car, the whole car ride I hear words minutes apart either talking to each other or talking on the phone, until I am in a hospital bed and I can feel the nurse or doctor put the needle for my IV in my arm. The last thing I heard before I passed out was Ashton on the phone, "You'll be okay Zoe, I'll be there as soon as I can.."
