Hacked | Jaspar

~9~

••••CASPARS POV••••

I woke up in Joe's bed, with him pressed into my chest. My heart skipped a beat as I remembered that we were dating. I needed to ask Joe when we could tell our friends Jim, Alfie, Marcus, Zoe, Niomi, Tyler, Troye, Connor, and Tanya, the news, so I woke him up.

"Joe, wake up please." I kissed his forehead and his eyes slowly opened and looked at me and he smiled.

"When are we going to tell our friends about us? I would feel guilty if we don't by tonight." I blurted out when my wife eyes met his which were barely opened.

"Good morning to you too, Caspar." He sassed. "How about we invite them all over tonight for a party?" A small laugh escaped my lips and I gently kissed him again.

"That would be fun! Thanks Joe! I'll ring them all up right now. By the way, I'm loving your morning voice." I smirked at him.

A blush made its way to his cheeks and he pulled the blankets over his head. I just laughed and I waked into my room making as little noise as possible so Joe could go back to sleep, and I called everyone. And everyone except Tyler and Troye could come because they were going on a date tonight, too. So that makes 9 of us, including me and Joe.

I sat on my bed with my head in my hands, an hour before our friends were to come over. I was thinking about how to get rid of the hacker.

I picked up my computer from my bedside table and opened it. I looked through the settings of my account, until I saw an option that said 'change password.'

I nodded slightly to myself, thinking that this may help my situation. I moved my curser over the button. After I clicked it, I entered a new password into the box, then typed it again in order to confirm it.

Just when I thought it was all going to work and my conflict would be resolved, an error occurred.

ERROR: Unable to change password. Try again later.

I groaned out of frustration and slammed the lid of the laptop down.

What do I do from here?

Everyone was talking at the kitchen table, not suspecting anything different to happen between me and Joe. My hands were sweating and my pulse was racing. My eyes were darting around the room. Finally, I gave him a look that said, ready? As if he was reading my mind, he gave a subtle thumbs up.

"Hey everyone, Joe and I need to tell you something." I started, getting more nervous by the second. "What we want to say is thatJoeandiaredating." As I said the last part my voice trailed off and my cheeks got hot. I could barely even speak I was so nervous.

"What's that Caspar? You need to speak up, mate." Alfie said, kindly.

Joe noticed, luckily, how nervous I was so he finished saying the sentence for me. "Everyone... Caspar and I are dating, and we just thought we should let our best friends know." He gestured to them all.

I was shocked by how easy it was for him to say that. The others were just shocked by what the heard. Niomi and Tanya were smiling and saying sweet congratulations, Marcus Connor and Jim were being respectful, saying that as long as we were happy then it was a good thing, Alfie was saying, "I knew it!" over and over, and Zoe ran up to both us squealing and hugged us tightly.

All my nervousness from earlier left, and I smiled. My friends were so supportive of everything I do; why would they mind that I was dating one of my, and their, best friends?

I was so happy until Marcus asked us when the volume in the room lowered, "So when are you announcing it on YouTube?"

I stared at Joe. He looked as if he was deep in thought.

"Tonight." He announced, looking at me. "I would have said a later time, but will all the drama that has been going on with Caspar's Twitter account getting hacked, maybe it will help clarify the fact that we don't hate each other and aren't in a fight."

Everyone looked at him with questioning looks and he asked, "Have you guys seen what has happened on Twitter?"

They nodded or said a quiet yes.

"Did you know that I didn't send that and it was someone who hacked into my account?" I chimed in.

They shook their heads or said a quiet no. Instead of being mad at them like I thought I would for them thinking it was me, I was happy they didn't bring the topic up.

Joe and I took our time and explained everything that happened with my computer and the hacker and that we didn't know who it was, and that maybe they could help us figure it out. When we finished explaining, Marcus spoke up again.

"I think you guys should make the video tonight. Joe is right. And while you are telling them you could make sure to explain everything you just told us now."

Joe and I nodded our heads in agreement.

"So should we get to it?" I asked.

"We probably should." He replied. "The sooner the better. All of our fans still haven't forgiven us from the rude interaction yet."

"Then we should probably let you guys do that." Alfie said, standing up. Then Zoe stood, followed by the rest of the group.

Joe and I hugged each of them before they left, and as they were walking out the door, some of them called out "Thanks for dinner," or "Good luck!"

We won't need it though. We are ready to do it with no problems. For the first time in forever, I was confident about revealing something to YouTube about my personal life, all thanks to the support I had gotten though our friends.
