Best Friends (A Joe Sugg Fanfiction)

Chapter Forty-Nine

I woke up in Joe's arms but I didn't get to cherish this moment because Rose started to cry. I walked into her room and picked her up, 'Rosey poo' I laughed as I pulled a funny face to her making her laugh. I gave her some food and then stayed in her room playing with her dolls house with her. 'Emily?' I heard Joe shout an hour later, 'In here Joe' I shouted back and he walked in the room with a huge smile on his face. 'You two are adorable' he smiled as he sat down and joined us. 'I've got to nip out in a second so do you mind looking after Rose?' I asked.

'No I don't mind at all! Father, daughter day here we come!' he said excitedly. I stood up and went to get a quick shower. When I was done I dried my hair and but it in a messy bun, I put on a cute little casual outfit, a black skater skirt with a fluffy red jumper tucked in to it along with a pair of black vans and black tights. I put on my usual everyday makeup but this time I added some red lipstick and I was ready to go. 'You look stunning' Joe smiled as I walked into the living room. 'Thank you' I smiled before I kissed him goodbye and then kissed Rose on the forehead, 'see you soon Rosey poo, be good for daddy' I laughed and left the house.

I drove to Dylan's house to check if he was okay, you may call me stupid but he needed me right now. What he did was wrong I know that! But when I saw how he was when he told me about his multiple personality disorder I knew that he needed someone. I knocked on his door and after a few minutes he opened the door, 'Em' he said sadly as he invited me in his house. I sat on the sofa as he made a drink for us both. 'What's wrong?' I asked as he came and joined me.

'I'm going to join the army' he said looking me in the eyes. 'What why?!' I shouted a little.

'Em please, I want to help those that I've hurt and this is a way that I can do that'

'You could die!' I shouted trying to talk sense into him. 'That's a risk that I'm willing to take' he said quickly and a tear fell down my cheek, we were just starting to be friends and now he was planning on risking his life to make up for the mistakes that he's made. He wiped away the tear on my cheek and kissed me on the forehead. 'I'm sorry' he whispered still holding the back of my neck. I just carried on crying I can't fully explain why though it was like I was afraid of losing him.

I just left without saying a word and drove back home still feeling sad.

(A few months later)

Dylan had gone into the army and was fighting in Afghanistan today was the day that I received the call... The call that I didn't want to ever have.

'Mrs Sugg?'

'Yes...' I replied nervously.

'We are sorry to inform you that Dylan is dead...' I froze as I heard these words. I hung up the phone and didn't know what to do. I headed to Bath because he parents lived there, I arrived at their house and they answered very quickly. His mother looked drained she had bags under her eyes and she was crying. 'I'm sorry Helen' I said crying too and she invited me inside.

'He did love you, you know that right?' she asked as we both sat down.

'I know' I said sadly.

'He never wanted to hurt you, he told me that every time that he did hurt you. When you were engaged he wanted you to be his wife so badly but he knew that he didn't have a chance after he hit you' she said crying, I comforted her.

'I know he did Helen... He was a good guy in the end and I will always remember him for being the good guy towards the end as supposed to the violent guy' I said crying as I remembered all of these moments that I had with Dylan. 'He tried to get you back for so long' she added and I broke down. I never gave him a chance. 

His funeral was in a few days and I was figuring out whether I should tell Joe any of this or not. I decided not to tell him in-case he became angry with me for any of this.
