Hacked | Jaspar

~11~

••••CASPARS POV••••

Joe seemed like he was pretty confident about making the video. I still don't understand how he wasn't nervous. I was freaking out! The entire time I was being positive in the restaurant, thoughts were running through my head.

You will mess up and loose Joe. Everyone will hate you for your sexuality. Joe is too good for you, you shouldn't have him.

I had to get rid of these thoughts. But how?

I had to face them. I had to make the video. It was time.

"Joe, ready?"

He walked into the room with an expressionless face.

"Yeah. Let's turn on the camera and get this over with."

At first I was offended, but then he winked at me and I knew he was kidding.

He's still confident. I wish I could be like him. My heart was pounding in my chest.

And I clicked the record button on my camera, Joe came and sat down next to me, and for a few seconds we just stared at each other. I breathed in and exhaled slowly, and we faced the lens.

"Well, we have some news." I started. I had to seem like I was ready and confident.

Joe nodded his head.

"As you all know, Joe and I are roommates and best friends. That will never change. But something has happened in the past few days, and I sure you have seen it. It was the Twitter incident. I was saying some rude and crazy things to Joe. But that wasn't me. I promise. I would never be rude to Joe like that. He means the world to me."

I looked at Joe and he was blushing, and just staring at me in disbelief.

"That wasn't me. It might be hard to believe, but my account was hacked. And if you haven't seen the tweets, one was me, or at least my account, saying that I had... Feelings... For Joe. The second one was my account cursing at him, and just telling him mean comments in general. It was awful.

Joe was hurt by it, and I was hurt by the fact that someone out there would pretend to be me and try to break up my friendship with Joe. You guys were also hurt by it because I suppose that you couldn't believe that I would be rude to someone I'm so close with.

I hope this never happens again. Joe and I are alright, though. We are still close. In fact, we are closer than ever. Joe, will you do the honors of telling our lovely fans the news?"

Joe looked at his shoes, and at first I thought he was going to be too shy to tell them. But of course I was wrong.

He picked up his head, stared at the lens with a side smirk, wrapped his arm around me, rested his head on my shoulder, and said, "The Jaspar ship has sailed! We are official and so happy. Thanks for supporting us throughout everything, and if you didn't, then this video would probably never have been made."

I looked at him and smiled a real smile. One I didn't have to force. He was right. We were happy. So why should it matter what others thought?

I looked him in the eyes, tilted my head down, and kissed him. But this time, it was in front of millions of people. And I wasn't nervous.

The kiss was perfect. The way it felt made all the stress leave from my body, and it was replaced with joy. Joy because I was lucky to have Joe as my friend and boyfriend. Joy because of our friends who always had our backs, and joy because everything was perfect. Everything was how I always wanted it to be, and I wouldn't change it for anything.

I faced the camera one last time in the video and said, "I will see you next week."

Then I turned it off.
