Best Friends (A Joe Sugg Fanfiction)

Chapter Five

EMILY'S POV

I've only been working here for a few weeks and already I wanted to cry. I hated it, the boss was so nasty he hated me because he was Dylan's friend and he was told if I put a foot out of line then he was to teach me a lesson. I walked over to a table to ask for there order, to my utter shock Joe was sat there looking at me, we were both as shocked as each other. I couldn't speak he didn't realize just how much I missed his company, he's been my best friend for years and now I couldn't see him much. I was called by the boss to come to the kitchen, 'what the fuck do you call that? Waiting? Please don't bother'

'-I'm sorry' I began to cry.

'Did I say you could talk?!' he shouted and then slapped me across the face. I walked back out after wiping my eyes. 'What can I get you Sir?' Joe looked at me weirdly and I felt so sad that i couldn't sit down and catch up with him I gave him an I'm sorry look but he didn't seem to want to look at me. I tried to smile and make it look as realistic as possible but it was such a bad fake smile. After cleaning up the end of my shift came and I walked out of the restaurant, as usual Dylan was waiting outside for me in his Audi. 'I heard that you were bad at the restaurant today-'

'-I'm sorry...' I said with a tear rolling down my face. He just slapped me across the face.

'Don't disappoint me again' he looked at me as though he was ashamed before giving me a peck on the cheek, I hated it when he kissed me my whole body cringed. I got in the car to head to my engagement party, why did I have to do this?

JOE'S POV 

I waited around the corner of the building for Emily because I wanted and needed to talk to her I heard shouting so I looked to see Emily crying with a hefty bloke shouting at her. He raised his hand to her and slapped her at this point I saw red but I couldn't do anything. I felt really sad after this, my best friend was no longer there she was completely different. I went home and sat in front of the TV watching the news. 'Breaking News! A local girl aged 23 has gone missing. Local girl Emily Brown has gone missing from her home in Bath' wait did that just say Emily Brown? Surely there's loads of Emily Browns? I looked at the photograph and it was definitely her. I started to panic and was just about to go out and look for her when there was a knock at the front door.

Standing there when I opened the door was a cold and soaking wet Emily, she looked dreadful. 'Can I please come in Joe?' she begged. I nodded still in shock and offered her some of Zoe's clothes, she got changed and came down the stairs. 'I'm sorry Joe I truly am I couldn't text you or anything because Dylan broke that phone when he saw you had messaged. I can't do anything without him next to me and well, I can't do it. I need to leave, help me please' she was begging and I felt so upset for her she was desperate. 'How about I run you a bath and then you can talk to me afterwards?' she nodded. I walked upstairs, ran her a bath and within 20 minutes she was downstairs she looked happier now but her face was all bruised and she had bags under her eyes where she had cried herself to sleep. She didn't have any clothes with her because she didn't want them to suspect that she had come over here. 'You can take my bed if you want' I said to her. We changed to the music channel and Secondhand Serenade - Fall for you came on. I grabbed her hand and made her dance with me.

'I will lead' I said.

'But I can't dance' she laughed, it was so good to see her laughing again. I told her to focus on me and just let the dance take over you. 'See it's easy' we danced for ages none stop, I had missed this so so much. I had butterflies in my stomach and I wasn't sure why, she looked up at me with her light blue eyes and smiled. She was the sunshine on a rainy day. She was my sunshine, this girl didn't even know how much I love her company. We were reaching the end of another cute song when we both pulled close to each other we were a couple of inches apart. I felt her breathing and she was so calm and relaxed. I pulled even closer to her and planted a kiss on her lips, she returned it after a slight hesitation and we kissed for a while before pulling away for air, then we kissed again. I loved feeling her soft lips on mine and it felt like we were supposed to be together. The butterflies were now explained...
