Trust. {A Joe Sugg Fanfiction}

Chapter 36 - shock

(Ellie's POV)

'Eww she's ugly,'

'Joe deserves better!'

'Why her?'

'She's not even that pretty'

I read through each comment, a tear splashing down onto my laptop. Joe shut my laptop and pulled me into his chest.
"You know what? I don't care one like bit what they think. I love you Ellie. They don't see how pretty and amazing you are. We'll ignore them," he whispered into my ear.
He stood up, carefully pushing me off him, and took my laptop on to the desk. He switched it off and joined me back onto the bed.
I sniffed, "they really don't like me, Joe."
"They will. They will, and up till then, you can be in my videos, to help them get used to you. I promise." Joe cuddled me.
"I love you." I snuggled back into his chest.
We napped for a while, then Zoe began to get ready. Her and Alfie we're going out and me and Joe were ordering a Chinese takeaway and watching The Fault In Our Stars, my favourite film.
Joe has his arm around my shoulder and wasn't paying attention to the film, he was staring at me.
I knew he was staring at me. I could see it in the corner of my eye. he nudged me.
"Yeah?" I snuggled into him taking in his scent, my eyes still glued to the screen.
He gently touched my cheek and moved closer to me, a smile on his face.
He kissed the top of my head.
"I love you so freaking much." he whispered.
I leaned in and kissed him, my arm around his neck and his hand on my waist. He pushed me down onto the sofa so he was lying on top of me. I wrapped my legs around his torso and played with his silky hair which was messily sweeped to the side of his head. He's so cute I can't even handle it.
"Ellie? We're off no-" Alfie walked through the patio doors and me and Joe immediately sprung apart.
"Joe what the hell were you doing?" Alfie stormed over to us, grabbing Joe by the scruff of the neck.
"Alfie!! Stop!" I pushed Alfie lightly on the chest, and he looked slightly ashamed.
"Sorry El, is there something you'd like to tell me?" He crossed his arms.
I looked at Joe, and he nodded reassuringly.
"We're dating." I stated nervously.
"What?" Alfie said with an edge to his voice.
"I love him Alfie." I told him calmly.
"Ellie, you're 17, Joe's 6 years older than you!"
"Age is just a number," I held Joe's hand.
Alfie sighed, "fine. I don't mind you two having a thing if you're happy Ellie. Joe, can I talk to you for a second?" Alfie tugged on Joe's arm.
"Sure mate," Joe stood up, gave me a reassuring look, and followed Alfie outside.
I sat there, twiddling my thumbs and watching tfios. How long were they taking?
Joe finally came back in, with red, puffy eyes.
I saw Alfie stomp out of the door with Zoe scuttling behind, asking what's happened.
"Joe?" I ran up to him, "are you okay?"
He smiled sadly at me.
"No." he hung his head.
