Best Friends (A Joe Sugg Fanfiction)

Chapter Seventy-Two

JOE'S POV

I couldn't eat or sleep all of these thoughts raced in my mind all of them about Emily. I wished that this mess would just end and that I could run up to her and hug her tightly. We had come through so much already but we couldn't get through this. It just didn't make any sense.

Just as I was getting lost in my thoughts, Bella came to the dining room to 'talk' to me about things that were happening between 'us'. She sat down next to me and put her hand on my leg, it felt awful and I just wanted her to stop but she wouldn't she just kept her hand there and occasionally moved it higher and higher up my leg until it was nearly on my private area. I shuddered slightly and luckily she had stopped so that she could talk to me.

'Look Joseph, I was thinking of moving the wedding up to possibly the weekend? I hope you don't mind, I mean I'm sure you won't if you know what's good for you. I didn't reply and instead I just asked her if I could go for a walk to clear my head to escape from this horrible mess for a little while. Of course I couldn't go alone in case I went to get help so one of Bella's muscly friends came along too. I just wanted this to end.

EMILY'S POV

I woke up the next day with a terrible hangover so I asked for a friend to look after the children while I sobered up. They didn't need to see me like that, my friend took them back to her house while I tried to sort out my own home. I packed the children some clothes for a few days just in case they had to stay with my friend for a while.

I looked on the internet and the first headline to pop up all across my Twitter page was: '@Joe_Sugg set to marry EX Bella just a week after split with former partner @Emily_Brown' I was devastated and in utter shock how could he move on so fast. Something just wasn't right about the whole situation.

That night I was sat on the sofa with a bottle of red wine and a glass, after drinking the bottle of red wine I dozed off on the sofa until I was woken again suddenly by a phone call from an unknown number. 'Hello?' I said in a drunken voice.

'H...hey' the familiar voice replied, 'h...how a...are Rose and J...Jack?' he asked sounding slightly nervous. 'They're fine' I snapped, 'it's not like you care anyway! I hate you. Don't bother calling here again' and with that I hung up the phone and went to clear my head by going for a walk.

I started walking down the street when I saw a van speeding towards me and I was so terrified when I realized that it was heading in my direction. Before I knew it the van had hit my and I had hit the windscreen and flipped off the bonnet. Everything went black around me until I woke up in a hospital room in a hospital bed. 'You're very lucky to be alive Ms. Brown' the nurse said to me as she was giving me something to numb the pain. 'W-what happened?' I asked puzzled. All I knew was that I was aching all over my body.

'You were hit by a car going over the speed limit we suspect. Passers by said that you were lying their lifeless' the nurse replied, 'the police are waiting to ask you some questions should I send them in?' she asked to which I nodded. Two police officers walked in the room and one came and sat down next to me. 'So Ms. Brown, can you tell us exactly what happened?' One of them said to me. I nodded again still in slight shock. 'I-I don't know exactly. One minute I was walking down the street and the next thing I knew a van was coming towards me and then it hit me. After that everything went blank. All I remember was leaving my house slightly tipsy, I wanted to get some fresh air. I could have stumbled into the road or tripped I suppose. I am clumsy' I replied as honest as I could.

'Thank you Ms. Brown, we will let you get some rest now but we will have to ask you more questions a little bit later on' when the two police officers had left I tried to get some sleep.

JOE'S POV

Emily hung up the phone and told me never to call her again which hurt me so much inside. I made my way back to Bella feeling worse than ever. Luckily at the time that I had called Emily the muscly friend of Bella's had gone to get some fresh air giving me enough time to call her without being noticed.

I arrived back to the house and opened the door where Bella was standing waiting for me and the two muscly men had now grabbed me and tide me to a chair. 'I warned you what would happen if you spoke to that bitch again did I not make myself clear enough? Perhaps I need to show you what will happen if you cross me Joe Sugg' Bella said angrily. 

One of the muscly men turned on a TV that was directly in front of me while the other one made sure that I looked at it. Bella pressed play on the recording and there I could see a drunk looking Emily walking down the pavement. I couldn't understand why Bella was showing me this until I saw I white van speeding towards Emily. I didn't want to look because I feared the outcome but I had to. I was made to watch. Emily put her hands out in front of her to try and stop the van and then before my very eyes I watched the woman that I loved be hit at immense speed by a van. I watched as she hit the windscreen and flipped off the bonnet. I saw her lying on the ground lifeless.

I couldn't hold back the tears and they started flowing rapidly now, 'i...is she de...dea...dead?' I stuttered scared that the answer would be a yes. 'Sadly not no but she is critically ill in a hospital bed. Next time however she will be and so will your two children. Don't test me Joseph, you made me do this. You should have followed my rules. I hope there won't be a next time' she said angrily before she told the men to see to it that I was truly punished for my actions and to do this they hit me over and over again in the stomach making the chair fall onto its side. One of the men also kicked me in the face making my eye go black and my lip start to bleed...
