The crowd at screamed with excitement when I start singing.
"Woo hoo!" Alfie yelled laughing.
"I wasn't expecting that, but it came without fear, a month turned into a year, I wasn't expecting that." Tanya sang.
I finished of the song and stood up.
"Group hug!" I said into the microphone and everyone hugged me tight. "Can't breathe"
"Oh sorry" Jim laughed when they pulled away.
"Now we have some time left before we move onto other things but something in the crowd has caught my eye. When Jemima and I first announced our relationship she was getting lots of hate. Zoe, Alfie and I worked on a little project and made speeches if you say" Joe said and smiled slyly at me. "I have been hearing horrible words continue around this crowd, when I was walking through here people were spreading rumours that she only wants me for the fame and money but she makes her own money and she makes her own fame. If my Sugglets don't like this relationship then you are not a true Sugglet at heart, same goes for Jemima's subscribers. She loves you all dearly but it isn't true if you don't love her back.
We turned around and the screen behind us flashed on showing a picture of me smiling.
"We all have made birthday speeches for Jemima and you'll get to hear then" Tanya smiled. "Alfie first"
"Jemima Cook has to be one of the most loving people I have ever seen. She is beautiful, talented and the bestest friend anyone could want. Happy 23rd Birthday Jemima!" Alfie said and the crowd clapped.
I looked around with slightly blurry vision due to the tears. Everyone was smiling greatly but Zoe had a hint of jealousy in her eyes.
"Jemima" Niomi started hanging her arm on my shoulder, "is the most amazing friend anyone could want. Even though she has a baby bump she can still pull off anything she wears."
"She has this thing that makes me click. You immediately want her to be your friend, and is perfect and Joe's got a keeper" Marcus laughed when and I kept looking at Zoe.
"The first time I saw Jemima I was like, my future friend is right there" Jim smiled.
"Bets friend" Tanya said kissing my cheek.
"Zoe your go" Alfie smiled.
"She's fine" she said bluntly.
The smile wiped off my face and I stood in shock. Wow.
"Jemima is the best person I have ever met and I'm surprise she's my girlfriend. Happy Birthday Jemima!" Joe yelled and everyone cheered besides Zoe.
"Thank you all so much for coming out to see us" Marcus said.
"Hope you all enjoyed!" Niomi squealed.
"Cake time!" Alfie yelled running behind the stage and bringing out a massive chocolate cake.
He put it infront of me and smiled.
"3, 2, 1!" Everyone yelled and I dipped my face into the cake.
Alfie shoved my head in more and when I pulled my face back everyone was laughing.
"Joe's turn!" I yelled wiping my eyes.
He shoved his face in before pulling it out.
"Your not as bad as Jemima" Alfie laughed and the crowd screamed before we thanked them and walked off stage.
"Im going to the bathroom" I informed everyone.
"Didn't need to tell us that" Marcus laughed as did I before walking through multiple corridors to the bathroom.
I walked in and grabbed paper towel before dabbing it at my face. When I finished I left the room and met up with everybody else in the hotel lobby.
"Guys, let's have a celebratory birthday for Jemima tonight?" Tanya suggested and everybody nodded eagerly before starting conversation.
Marcus and Niomi came over and we started talking about random topics but something was bugging me. Joe felt the tension and placed his arm around my waist.
"You okay?" He whispered in my ear.
"No" I sighed.
"What's up?" he asked.
"Something's bugging me" I said. "Just don't worry"
As I said this I felt Zoe look at me with jealousy in her eyes again. Her normal blue orbs contained the mixture of jealousy and fury.
"I'm going to go speak to Zoe" I said to everyone.
"Okay" Joe smiled before kissing my cheek.
After I excused myself from everyone I walked over to her.
"You okay Zoe?" I asked getting a closer look at her.
"No" she spat.
"What's wrong?" I asked touching her arm but she jolted back.
"You're a stupid attention seeker. You are taking all of my friends away from me! I knew them before you!" She said raising her voice before her cheeks grew a hot pink.
"How?" I asked softly.
"My boyfriend called you beautiful and said you were the best friend anyone could want! How do you think I feel?" She asked, her voice turning into a soft yell.
"It was just a birthday speech" I said trying to calm her down.
"A birthday speech? Bitch please tell me your joking! You taking every single fucking friend I have and wasting it on you! Your just some selfish prick who doesn't care about anyone else except themselves!" She yelled.
"They're just being nice" I said trying to remain calm.
"No they're not. Your taking my fucking friends!" She said wiping a tear away from her eye furiously.
"They're mine too" I said softly letting her words sink in.
"They were mine first! You just come and ruin my whole life" she yelled and I let the words get to the better of me.
I walked away and wiped my tears. I pushed myself through the crowd of British YouTubers until one of them grabbed my wrist.
"Where are you going?" Alfie asked.
I slipped my wrist out of his grip and ran to my room. The tears were burning through my skin as I let Zoe bring me down. My world came crashing in and I sobbed. The elevator door opened and I ran to my door before opening it and sitting against it. The door automatically locked and I started to cry again. Zoe's words brought back my past. I stood up furiously before going into the bathroom and grabbing a razor blade. The door was being pounded on while I sat in the bathroom on the peach colours tiles, twiddling the blade in my fingers. The pain kept seeping through my body and I brought myself to have enough courage to cut once. I lifted the blade up and looked at the shiny metal. The door kept being pounded on but I zoned out. The world I was once in started crumbling around me as I took each rapid breath. I heard muffled voices in the room and when the bathroom door started being knocked on I placed the blade on my wrist. I squeezed my eyes shut and was about to place it firmly into my body until someone pulled it away. When I opened my eyes Alfie, Jim, Marcus and Joe were standing infront of me as I cried.
"Jemima" Jim whispered crouching besides me and rubbing my arm.
"Don't, I'm an attention seeker, I steal people's friends. I'm a prick, I'm a bitch, I'm not beautiful" I cried pushing through them and walking out onto the balcony.
"You're none of those!" Marcus yelled putting his foot between the mid closed door.
"Go and tell the beloved Zoe that" I cried before crumbling the the floor and cradling myself.
"What do you mean?" Alfie asked sitting next to me.
"She said I stole her friends, am a bitch, a prick, an attention seeker and the things you were saying isn't true" I cried cupping my face with my hands.
"Why would my sister do that?" Joe asked crouching infront of me.
"She's saying you guys don't really like me." I said before standing up and locking myself back in the bathroom.
I searched through the draws and found another razor.
"Open up right now Jemima!" Joe yelled banging on the door.
I cried and blinked. I placed the razor back into my skin and was about to cut until I heard Joe sob against the door.
"If you can hear me Jemima" he sniffed but continued "I love you and know what your doing in there. Just put the blade down, I can't stand seeing you like this. I love you and if you go down your bringing me with you. The world is a fucked up place and my sister is a complete twat. The things she said is horrible but not as horrible as what your doing now. Place the blade on the floor and open this door. We're all waiting."
Those words sank into my heart and I pulled away the blade. I heard the front door of our room open and a small voice I recognised to much.
"Joseph. You deserve so much better" Zoe said and I placed the blade back to my skin and sliced my wrist.
"How can you say things like that Zoe!" Alfie yelled at her.
"She's stolen you from me!" She cried.
I stood up and threw my blade in the bin before opening the bathroom door. Zoe's eyes trailed up my body and met my eyes.
"Why?" I whispered wiping away my tears.
"I'm sorry" she cried, "I'm just jealous of how perfect you are. You way better than me.
"No I'm not" I whispered looking into her eyes. "I forgive you"
"Really?" She asked and I nodded sending a weak smile.
Her eyes travelled down my arm and met with my bleeding wrist.
"What did you do?" She asked holding my arm in her hands and looking at the wound.
"Jemima" Joe croaked and I looked over at the boys.
"I'm sorry, my past came back to me" I cried and they all hugged me.
"Let's get you cleaned up" Marcus said walking into the bathroom and coming out with the first aid kit.
"Zoe can you do it?" I asked her and she nodded before fixing my arm, "thank you"
"How can you forgive me just like that?" She asked hugging me.
"I know you don't mean it but I kept it get to me, but seeing you look so guilty made me feel horrible." I explained and she nodded before hugging me again.
