Midnight Kiss: Joseph Sugg Fanfic

5

I slept the whole drive home.
"Time to get up," someone whispered shaking me.
I groaned and got up and went inside. When I was in there I quickly ran to the toilet and was sick again.
"For fucks sake!" I yelled between breaths.
The feeling kept returning and I was sick multiple times.
"Zoe," I cracked as loud as I could which was only a whisper. "help" I said.
No one seemed to hear me so I slowly got up and went towards my room. I grabbed a blanket and a few pillows and went back to the bathroom. I was basically setting up camp so I didn't have to run back and forth to go and be sick.
"Guys" I whispered tears brimming my eyes as I sat down in my little camp in the bathroom. "Are you there?"
I got nothing, no reply or anything.
"Joseph," I said a bit louder, still no reply. "Zoe" I just managed before I was sick again.
No one was answering me so I kept laying there whispering as loud as I could to get someone's attention. This was weird because someone woke me then I ran upstairs, I just didn't get it. I started crying, I've never felt like this and my worst nightmare was being sick. The more I was sick the more I cried. No one even heard me so I thought they were downstairs. I slightly closed my eyes then i heard the door open. Joe walked in and looked completely shocked.
"Joseph," I whispered crying.
"Jemima why didn't you come and get me?" He said sitting next to me.
"I said your name as loud as I could which only was a whisper and I don't have the strength to go downstairs," I croaked.
"How long have you been up here?" He said.
I reached for my phone and looked at the time.
"I first came in here at 11:23 in the morning and it's now 5:46 at night so... About 6 hours." I cried.
"Fuck, I am so sorry I completely forgot about your state so I just thought you were in your room." He said.
"It's not your fault," I said leaning over the toilet seat and threw up.
Joe comforted me for the time then said "you should eat something or at least drink"
"Fine," I said closing my eyes.
Joe left and I cried more than ever. Joe has been gone for longer than I thought so I steadily got up and walked out of the bathroom catching a glimpse of myself in the mirror. I looked worse than this morning. Extremely red eyes, pure white skin, crumpled hair and clothes. I walked myself to the stairs and heard a conversation with Zoe and Joe. I know I shouldn't but I eaves dropped.

"Joe, take it up to her. She's in such a bad state and she needs you there." Zoe said.
"Zoe your her best friend you need to comfort her it's what's best," Joe said.
"Okay," Zoe said and I ran back into the bathroom and was sick once again, for 20 minutes until Zoe came.
"Hey Hun," she said walking in.
"Hey," I said but not in my croaky voice.
"You look so much better, besides your red eyes." Zoe clapped.
"What just a minute ago I looked dead," I said standing up and walking over to the mirror.
It was heaps better than 20 minutes ago. My eyes were still red and puffy but I gained my usual skin tone back.
"Where's a hair brush?" I asked normally.
"Hang on and I'll get one." Zoe said rushing out of the room.
Seconds later she came back in and handing it over. I brushed out my hair and stuck it into a new pony tail.
"I feel so much better Zo," I said.
"That's great do you want to get changed then come down and have dinner with us?" She asked.
"Sure, can you put these covers in the wash?" I asked.
"Aha," she said walking off with the covers.
I walked into my room and picked up a skirt and a crop top that said in black, thug life. I put them on and walked downstairs.
"Hey Zo-" Joe said then realised it was me.
"Hello Joseph," I smiled.
"Feeling better?" He asked.
"Perfect actually, I can live again!" I joked.
"Defiantly back to the old Jemima" Joe said.
"And what do you mean by that?" I joked.
"Meh?" He shrugged.
I just laughed and grabbed a plate of bacon. I sat down on the lounge and switched on the TV. When we all finished eating I put my plate on the kitchen bench, brushed my teeth and sat down again on the lounge. I fell asleep there for a few hours until I got woken up by Zoe and Joe talking in the kitchen. I had to eaves drop, I just had to.
"Zoe I need help with something," joe said.
"And what is that Broseph?" She replied.
"I think, well I know I'm falling for Jemima, I don't know what to do." He said.
I kept my eyes closed as they were just in the kitchen and you could see the lounge room from in there.
"How do you know she doesn't feel the same?" Zoe said.
"I don't know," He said sighing.
"Do you want proof then?" She said and I knew what was going to happen next.
She was going to show Joe the video when I confessed. Shit.
"Show me," he insisted.
"Okay," she said.
The video started playing.
"After the plane ride I was trying to get over your brother, I tried Zo I did for you because I know how uncomfortable it must be for me having feelings for him. He keeps replaying in my mind over and over again and I just don't know what to do Zo. I think I'm falling for Joe. I just know he doesn't feel the same about me and I need to try and forget about it, I've never believed in love at first sight but maybe this has changed that thought. It hurts me to know he doesn't like me back, it even haunts me telling you this. Just life is hard and I need your help Zo, with everything. Getting over Joseph, having a happy life in London with you guys and being myself. Something in me tingles when I look at Joseph though. Guilt? Love? Nervousness? I just need you here with me Zoe,"
I tried my hardest not to get up and grab the phone out of Zoe's hand but I did get up and walk behind Joe half way through the video. Neither of them noticed this so I just stood there with tears pricking my eyes waiting for Joes reaction. Near the end Joe was still focused on the video but Zoe looked up and saw me with tears in her eyes as well.
'What now?' I lipped.
'just wait' she mouthed back.
I nodded and waited for Joe to look up. When the video finished Zoe had tears down her cheeks and my ones just started rolling. Joe seemed surprised and thought it was a joke.
"Zo" Joe said to her and waited for an answer whilst she was staring at me.
Joes eyes followed hers and just stared at me aswell.
"I-i" I struggled.
"Jemima?" Joe asked.
"Yes," I replied.
Joe gave stared into my eyes and I stared back at his. He took a step closer to me and I took one closer to him. We were centimetres apart when his hands travelled up to my waist and mine to his neck. Our faces were so close I could feel his breath. He moved his closer and put his lips to mine afraid he was going to hurt me, or make me feel horrible.

This kiss was better than movies. My stomach exploded into fire works and I kissed back. He tasted of his mint toothpaste and had a hint of candy floss. It was better than words could explain. We pulled away at the same time and I rested my forehead on his.
"I love you," I whispered.
"I love you too" he whispered back.
I looked to my right and there stood Zoe with her vlogging camera filming us with tears down her cheeks. She squealed and jumped up and down like an exited child in a candy store.
"I knew it! I totally ship Joemima! My new OTP!" She said hugging me.
I laughed at her childish behaviour but said seriously "are you posting this?"
"No but after you and Joe pronounce your together I'll give you the video and you can post it at the end," she squealed.
"Not to bad Zo, not to bad," Joe laughed.
