"Joe!" Zoe calls. Joe groans as he gets up stretching abnormally. He slept over at Zalfie's because they had filmed a video too late and it was too much to go back home. He misses Caspar though. Rubbing his face, he gets up and makes his way to the bathroom.

"Let me just brush my teeth real quick, Zoe!" He shouts back. He laughs at himself while brushing his teeth. He looks like shit.

"Hurry up, Joe!" Zoe shouts back. He groans and rolls his eyes. Once he approaches the living room where Zoe has been calling, he smiles at the person who is so easily talking to Zoe.

Emma is here.

Emma has been the Suggs' friend since... birth. They grew up together and did everything together. Emma has been Joe's bestfriend since they declared it in third grade.

"Emma!" He shouts, running to her and wrapping his arms around her.

"You saw me two days ago. Chill, mate." She laughed lightly. Emma admired Joe. He wasn't wearing a shirt and even though she always calls him weak and bones, she always knew he had muscle. His abs were so perfect and she loved how whenever he'd hug her he'd break the hug but still hold her close. And she would always take advantage of that moment and touch his abs.

"I knooow, but two days is a lot." He said kissing her forehead.

"C'mon, I have tea ready." Zoe pulls on Emma's sleeve.

"Oh, Zoe! Let me have her for a while! I don't see her as much as you do."

That's true. They were always hanging out because Zoe and Joe we're so different.

Emma liked hanging out with Zoe because she never forces her to do things she doesn't want to. Meanwhile, hanging out with Joe was like experiencing 10 different things in 5 minutes. Emma was a timid girl. She likes to keep things to herself. She was social, though. That's why everyone loves her. She can make someone smile in a matter of one minute. But she gets scared to talk to new people sometimes.

"Oh, fine. I have things to do anyway." Zoe said before grabbing her coat and exiting the house.

Emma giggled. "She's so sassy sometimes, it shocks me." Joe grabs Emma's hand and leads her to the couch.

"So, how have you been?" Joe asks.

"You know how I really want to move to London?" She asks and Joe nods. That's her big dream. To move to London and see how it feels to be a city girl. "Well, I've been looking at apartments and I am having 0 luck." She pouts making Joe's heart ache. "I was wondering if you have any recommendation on places to look at?" Her eyes are concentrating on her fingers that she fiddles with. Joe smiles. She always does that when she feels embarrassed or nervous. But his smile fades as he has sudden realization. Caspar and Joe have a spare room.

"You can come live with me! You haven't met my roommate, have you?! Oh, you'll love him! I mean he can get out of hand sometimes but he's the funniest person ever! You'll love it there it's so fun and-"

"Whoa whoa, Joe. Are you serious? Is it okay with your roommate?"

"I'll just have to ask but I can guarantee you, he'll say yes." He smiles at her. Her hand goes up to her face and she pushes her dark hair behind her ear. Joe always thought she was silly for being insecure because he thinks she's the most beautiful girl ever. Growing up with her showed him the most amazing moments of Emma.

"Alright then. I'll consider it." She smirked. Knowing Joe hated when she teased him.

Later that day.

"Caspar!" Joe yelled, walking into the house.

"Joe!" Caspar yelled from the couch. Joe laughed, walking over to the couch. "Hey, mate." Caspar said holding his hand up to high five Joe.

"I have an important question to ask you." Joe says. Caspar nods, telling him to continue.

"Well you know one of my friends, Emma, I tell you about her all the time."

"Yeah, yeah. You're childhood friend."

Joe nods. "Well she's been wanting to move to London for ages now and has no luck in finding an apartment. Soooo, since we have a spare room and it'd be nice to pay less for the house, maybe she could-"

"Move in?" Caspar interrupted. Joe nodded, hoping he won't say no. Caspar didn't reply and Joe just gave him a face saying 'soo?' Caspar didn't catch on so Joe smacked his arm.

"Go on! Tell me the answer, you prick!"

Caspar laughed, "Yeah. Totally. It'd be cool to have someone that isn't you, to film with." Caspar had lost Joe at "yeah. totally". He jumped up and cheered.

"Thanks mate! You'll love her!"

Little did he know, they'd both fall for a girl who was soon to be living with them.
