Screen (A Joe Sugg fanfic)

3.

I woke with my eyelids being to heavy to not open them, I heard soft mumbles but both of them with very different voices. The voices became clearer now, but my eyes were still shut.

"Come on, Joe. It's almost been a week, please come home.", a familiar voice said faintly. "No! It's my fault she's in here.", a weight was then added right next to me and there was breathing on my forehead. "Whatever, she may not wake up till another week or so, that's what the doctor said." "No, I believe in her. She's strong and brave, I know she is." Joe whispered, he plants a kiss on my forehead and heads back to chair behind me. My lips curl into a goofy smile and totally forgetting Caspar was in the room he whispers in my ear, "I know", I try to open my eyes but all I could get out was a squint, I can barely see Caspar's form whilst I try to pry them open all the way Caspar whispers again in my ear, "Be nice to him alright." I mouth to him an okay and my eyes quickly collapse again.

When I open my eyes again it's night and Joe is passed out on the chair in front of me now. "Joe?", I asked in a raspy voice. He didn't hear me, "Joe I need help.", I say a little bit louder. He woke up confused and fell out of his chair. "Ella? Ella! You're awake!", he came towards me in excitement. I sat up, "Ella, please be careful. What do you need? Water? Pillows? I should probably go tell someone you are ok." "No, I need to go pee.", I stated.

"Oh well let me help you get up.", Joe offered whilst helping me up. I wince because everything in the room was getting blurry and spinning. "Ok that's enough let me just carry you.", he then started carrying me to the dim lit room, he then sets me on the bright white square tiles. He turned on the lights and I squinted at him, "Thanks." "Yeah no problem." He said shyly and looking at the white floor. He left and closed the door. Once I was done with everything I won by opening the door but after that I just leaned on the knob. Joe came rushing towards me, turned off the light, and picked me up again. Laying me on the bed I asked, "How long have you been here?" "Ever since you've been here.", he says with a cute smile. "And how long was that?" "Uh about a week or so.", he says while playing with my hair. "SUGG! And you have been sleeping in that chair this whole time?" "I alternate chairs." He sits back down at the chair he was before. "Joe you must be tired, come on lay down with me.", I squirm over to leave room, "I'm fine, I swear." "No come on Joe I already moved to this side you don't want me move again, that's a lot of work."

He reluctantly gave in and laid down next to me putting his arm around me. I snuggle into his chest and I look up at him to find him smiling. I run my fingers through his hair to place it on his cheek. He takes it and kisses my hand, I smile and lay it across his body.

He falls asleep and strangely I can't. A hour goes by and another and another, it's now starting to bring some light into the room. I look up at Joe he fell asleep just as we were. I smile, I stretch up to his face and gave him a peck on the lips. His lips turned into a smirk, "took you long enough, love." He opened his eyes and I was laying there in shock, "Don't make me take it back, Sugg!" "All this time and I thought I was going to get more!", he argued. I peck his lips once more, "there took it back." "Oi! Not fair!", he said in a stern way. "Too late I don't like you anymore."

He started rubbing his thumb over my forehead bandage. "I'm sorry.", he said quietly. "Pardon? What are you sorry for?", I asked him with a curious face. "For everything your injury, making you confused, I don't know."

"Well honestly I'm still confused about all of this.", I confessed. Joe created an adorable confused face, "I mean I might fancy you but I..." I stopped in mid sentence and kissed him passionately, "I'm sorry, I couldn't help it." "It's alright love, that's the kiss I was hoping for.", he said leaning back relaxing and wrapping his arm around me once more.

•••

"Ella, wake up. Sorry to wake you up love.", my eyes lifted and I see the doctor and Joe on both sides of the bed. "Alrighty, seems like she is okay. Ella you can head home in about 2 or 3 days." The doctor then left and I sat back in the bed. Home where I live with my ash. Ash?! "ASH!", I scream shooting up out of the bed. "Shh, it's okay Caspar found him when he went over to drop your phone off." "Uh how did he get in?" "You also left your keys over at our house. You clutz." "Says the one who hit me with a door!", a guilty look waved over his face. "No, no. Don't feel bad I'm just kidding. I didn't mean it, I'm sorry." I took his face and gave him small kisses everywhere with a couple of I'm sorry's in between. He starts laughing and I give him one last peck on the mouth and pulled away.

"Looks like we will be here for 3 more days.", Joe stated while resting in the chair. "Joe please go home. Get some rest, sleep in a real bed."

"I will sleep in a real bed tonight with you.", he said with a cheeky smile. "First of all, keep your trousers on Joseph Sugg. Second of all, you will sleep in a real bed without me." A pout formed his face, "But that's 3 days!" "Or 2!", I say with a cheerful optimistic smile. "Now go home I'm sick of you!" Joe starts pretend crying, "I just want you to be happy!" "Okay if you want me to be happy then go home!"

"Ok fine! See you later love!", he kisses me and waves goodbye as he closes the door. "Are you sure?", he pops back in. "Yes!", I insist, "are you positive? Because I could just slip into bed with you again." He starts walking towards me. "Joseph.", he stops in his tracks, "Go home." He turns 180 degrees, "Are you sure?" I nod and he walks out of the room. He runs back in and kisses me on the lips, "Sorry love, I forgot my coat." I scoff, "Yeah, right."
