Best Friends (A Joe Sugg Fanfiction)

Chapter Twenty-Two

EMILY'S POV

I couldn't sleep, the hospital beds were so hard and not comfy. I looked over at Joe and he was sound asleep it was really cute to see him like that on  the chair. I was admiring him when the doctor walked through the door, 'ah, Emily I'm glad you're awake I have to talk to you' his voice was soft and gentle but I felt so nervous that he was going to give me really bad news. 'Do you want to wake up Joe for this?' He asked. I shook my head. No, he needed to rest.

'What is it?' I asked shaking.

'Well, we were doing some tests and the results of one test in particular showed signs of pregnancy. But the other news is, because your body is so fragile and small at the moment the chances are that the baby will be stillborn, miscarried or you could possibly die during child birth. Of course there is a chance that the pregnancy will go smoothly but you do have your options' then he left. What? I can't be pregnant, why didn't I show any signs of morning sickness? more importantly, whose the dad? Joe or Dylan...? I thought about the last question and tears formed in my eyes. What was I going to do? I didn't want to abort the baby but there was a chance that it could die anyway. Oh God this was a tough decision. I must have been crying louder than I thought because Joe woke up and started to ask what was wrong, do I tell him?

I decided not to just in-case he left me because he didn't want a child and the guilt would be too much if it wasn't his baby. Joe came over to me and hugged me trying to make me stop crying but it made me cry more. How could I do this to him? Lie about Dylan and this baby. Hopefully, because of my size, the bump wouldn't be that big so it wouldn't show and I could keep it a secret for longer. The doctor walked in and I asked Joe to get me a tea from the shop downstairs so that I could talk to the doctor. 'Have you thought anymore about this... situation?' he asked hesitating at the last bit.

'Well, I would like to know how many weeks pregnant I am first' I said a little nervously so he did a quick test and told me that I was about a month pregnant. This shocked me because I couldn't even tell. 'Doctor, why didn't I have any signs of morning sickness?' I asked slightly scared because I thought something was wrong with me. 'Well, in very rare cases, people don't show signs of morning sickness. It's nothing to worry about' at that moment Joe walked in carrying the drink.

'Thanks Doctor, I'll bare that in mind' I said making out like he had given me some advice so that Joe wouldn't get suspicious. I drank the tea because I couldn't make out like I didn't want it now else Joe would be suspicious. We were silent for a while before I decided to speak, 'so the doctor told me that I could leave tomorrow' I said putting a fake smile on my face.

'That's great news' he said but I could tell something was worrying him.

'What's wrong?' I asked.

'What...? Oh nothing...' he said quickly, so clearly there was something.

JOE'S POV

Emily had asked me to get her a drink of tea so I got in the elevator and went down to the shop area of the hospital. I was walking towards the counter when someone tapped me on the shoulder, I turned around and there she was my ex girlfriend... I quickly turned back around and went to the counter to get the drink but I couldn't get her off my mind. Seeing her again brought back so many good memories, but I was with Emily now I couldn't forget about that. I started to walk back to the elevator when my ex slipped me a piece of paper. 'Call me' she said winking before allowing me to leave. 

God I missed her smile I couldn't lie. I got back to the room just as the doctor was leaving, Emily told me that she could leave tomorrow and don't get me wrong I was really happy but I was still thinking about my ex and I think she could tell that I wasn't right but I lied to her. She didn't need to know right now.

 'What's wrong?' she asked

'What...? Oh nothing...' I replied in a rush. 'I have to just nip out for a little bit to feed Poppy okay?' I lied then left. I went to the car and sat in it before grabbing my phone and calling my ex. 'Hello?' her beautiful voice said on the other end. 'Hi, it's me' I said in my casual voice.

'Ah Joe! I knew you'd call'

'Where can we meet?' I asked but it may have sounded a little desperate.

'At my house, do you remember where it is?' she said laughing a little at the last bit. God I loved her laugh. 'Yep, I know where it is' I said before hanging up at driving to her house which looked exactly the same as it always had. She answered the door and invited me in. 'I love you Joe!' She said happily before grabbing me and pulling me into her. I knew all of this was wrong but I loved her too, I always had. I kissed her and she returned the kiss, sparks flew and I had butterflies in my stomach. 

EMILY'S POV

Joe just rushed off, no kiss or anything. I could tell he was lying to me because Jim was looking after Poppy for me until I came out of hospital. Where had he gone? Thinking about the answer to this question made me cry. I cuddled up to my knees and just cried. He had been gone for 2 hours and I hadn't heard off him since. I needed him right now but I guess it helped me to make up my mind on the baby. I would keep it so that if Joe left then I might have someone to remind me of him. I called Joe several times and got no reply, so I text him and an hour later I still had no reply from him which made me cry some more. I couldn't even leave the hospital bed... The doctor walked in and I told him about how I was keeping the baby despite him repeating what could happen if I did. I didn't care right now, I just wanted Joe.

It was now 7pm and Joe still hadn't called back or text. I just gave up on the hope he was coming back, he obviously left me. 

(The next day)

I woke up and yet again, no Joe. I was allowed to go home today, so I got up put on some clothes and the hospital called a taxi for me. As soon as I got home I looked around for Joe, he wasn't here but his stuff was. Where was he? I sat on the sofa and put my head in my hands. I had text him more today and still hadn't heard back from him. I put my hand on my stomach, 'looks like it's just me and you for a while little one. Don't worry I will look after you' I cried before deciding to get something to eat, I had to get better for my baby now. It relied on me. 

At 3pm the door opened and in walked Joe. 'Where have you been?!' I cried while shouting.

'I was just...' he started but couldn't finish his sentence.

'Save it, just go..' I cried. He tried to walk over to me and kiss my forehead but I pushed him away, 'please just go Joe, I need time alone for a minute. I tried to call and text you... Where were you?' I said calming down at the last bit. 'Just don't lie to me. If you loved me you would just tell the truth..' I cried some more. 'I was with my ex...' He said and I thought he was joking but he wasn't.

'Did anything happen?' I asked now not being able to hold in the tears.

'I'm sorry...' he said tears coming to his eyes.

'Did anything happen?!' I repeated but shouting this time. He didn't answer me, 'Oh my God, get out please just leave. Just so we're clear, I never want to see you again' I said crying, he tried to comfort me but I pushed him away. 'I said go!' I shouted. At this time I knew that the baby was his because I slept with Dylan months ago and I was only 1 month pregnant. 'Oh and by the way. I'm carrying your child' I said and at this point he was crying but I didn't care, he cheated on me...
