Best Friends (A Joe Sugg Fanfiction)

Chapter Forty-Eight

'Joe' I said smiling as I woke up next to my husband again. It's actually amazing how you can go from feeling so alone and scared to feeling safe and happy again in an instant and I had Joe to thank for that. I got out of bed and put on a fluffy dressing gown before heading upstairs to make breakfast for us both. I decided to keep things quick and simple but when Joe's was ready he rushed up the stairs and said that he had to leave. He kissed me on the forehead before rushing out of my apartment and there it was again, the feeling of being alone. Don't worry I still had Poppy but she was in and out of the vets with a poorly stomach so she wasn't her usual bubbly self anymore.

I went into the shower horrified by my body being covered in bruises and cuts. Each time I rubbed over them they stung and hurt like hell. I got out of the shower and shoved on some skinny jeans along with a white vest top and pink blazer. I had another meeting today about my book and this brightened up my mood slightly as it was being released in a few days time. I got into a taxi and made my way around the busy London streets.

The meeting was quick and simple so I went to get a coffee to wake myself up fully. I headed towards Costa when I was flooded by fans asking for pictures and some asked where Rose and Joe were but I made out like they were at home watching movies, I didn't want them to find out about the arguments that we had or any of that because it was so personal. I took selfies with all of the fans before rushing to get a coffee. I decided afterwards to head to Joe and Caspar's apartment to see Rose because I missed her like crazy. I knocked on the door and Caspar answered, 'hey Caspar where's Rose?' I asked smiling. He looked confused by what I had said and by this point I started to worry. 'Caspar...' I repeated in a shaky tone.

'Joe... Joe gave her to Dylan. He took a paternity test after the argument between you to and it said that he wasn't the dad so he just assumed that-' Caspar said.

'Caspar... Dylan's not in this country anymore. He has my little girl! I did a paternity test too and it said that Joe was the dad! I can't believe this is happening' I said tears in my eyes. At this exact moment Joe walked through the door I ran over to him and started to weakly punch him in the chest so that it wouldn't hurt him, 'Joe! How could you?!' I screamed before sinking to the floor and crying. Joe comforted me but it didn't matter right now, 'of course Rose is your baby! I did a paternity test!' I shouted more, 'now I've lost my baby girl for good!' I screamed. 'I hate you!' I didn't know what to do. Should I just stay there crying or go?

I decided to leave their apartment and went back to mine where I slammed the door and broke down. I couldn't hold in all of these emotions anymore I just exploded. Life isn't actually worth living anymore if I didn't have Rose or Joe in my life, they were the things that kept me going whenever times were tough they made me happy. My perfect family. I called Dylan and surprisingly he picked up the phone, 'Dylan please, don't hurt my baby. Bring her back to her mummy and sort this mess out' I cried into the phone. 'Emily.. Only if you forgive me. I'm so sorry' he sounded like he was crying and I couldn't help but sympathize with him a little bit. 'Of course I will Dylan' I said into the phone and he said that he was on his way to my apartment.

Within 15-20 minutes he arrived at my apartment and I invited him in for a drink so that we could talk after the phone call. 'Em look I'm so sorry I didn't mean for any of this to happen but I know why it did and it won't happen again' he said crying, and by crying I mean full tears.

'What do you mean you know why?' I said as I comforted him a little. 'Em this is all terrible, I have Multiple Personality Disorder and it's making me like this. Of course I didn't want to hurt you, I mean for God's sake I love you Emily Mae Brown I always have and I never mean to hurt you I swear to you. It tore me apart when I found out about you and Joe and then before I could do anything about it you became Emily Mae Sugg and it was too late' I cried a little at what he was telling me because I could tell that he meant every word.

'Dylan it's okay... I forgive you' I smiled at him because I'm not the type of person to hold a grudge. I gave him a friendly hug and then asked what he meant by it not being a problem anymore, 'Emily I'm going to kill myself. It's the only way' he said still crying. 'Dylan no!' I shouted to him trying to talk sense into him. 'It will be okay, I'm here for you and we will get through this alright just don't do that! You can get tablets okay? They will help you'

'But what if I hurt you again?' He cried. 'Dylan... It's okay I will understand' I said hugging him tighter. 'Promise me that you won't do that' I whispered into his shoulder. 'I promise' he whispered back and then he called for a doctor's appointment which I went along with him to for support. They gave him tablets and the doctor explained more about his disorder. 'How about we go and get lunch' I suggested but he said no because he wanted time to get his head around all of this. I hugged him goodbye and went back to my apartment after picking Rose up from nursery. I wanted to spend time with her today but after the Dylan thing I needed to be around him so she went to nursery for an hour or two.

When we finally got back home I put Rose into her pajamas and I got into mine. 'Rosey poop how about we watch.... FROZEN!' I said excitedly and she giggled which I assumed meant yes. I put on Frozen and we cuddled on the sofa while we watched and sang along to the songs. By the time Frozen was over there was a knock at the door, I picked up a sleepy Rose and walked to the door to open it. Standing the other side was Joe, 'hey Joe' I said in a normal tone. I invited him in and he saw the sofa bed out and the end of Frozen on the TV. 'Don't ask' I laughed, 'Mummy and daughter time' I added as I put Rose on my lap and we both sat on the sofa.

'I'm just going to put her to bed is that okay?' I said to him as I carried Rose to her bedroom. By the time I had put her in her crib she had woken back up so I read her a bedtime story, the hungry caterpillar and she had fallen asleep half way through the book. I stroked her curly hair and kissed her on the forehead before walking back out of the room. 'That was adorable' Joe said smiling from the passageway. I walked back to the living room with Joe, 'why did you give Rose to Dylan?' I asked sadly. 'I don't know Em... I was upset at the time but I know now that she's mine and I'm sorry' he said even sadder than me. 'It hurt me you know finding out that you had done that' I said. I lay on the sofa bed and within about 3 minutes I felt two arms wrap around me.

'Forgive me please' I heard Joe say.

'Okay because I love you' I laughed and he replied, 'I love you too'. I fell asleep in his arms feeling loved and it felt amazing.
