Best Friends (A Joe Sugg Fanfiction)

Chapter Seventy-Four

EMILY'S POV

After hearing the news of the pregnancy I was still in shock, I made my way back home and Zack was still looking after Jack and Rose for me because I couldn't cope on my own with two children. I could barely even look after myself let alone three soon. I got home and instantly went to bed skipping every single meal that I was supposed to have that day. I stayed in the same pajamas and just lay in my bed crying and being terrified that someone was going to come in the house and hurt me. 

JOE'S POV

I hadn't been thinking straight since seeing Emily get hit by the van. The muscly men grabbed me and tied my to the same chair as last time which brought all of the memories of the last time we were here. 'Ah Joe! This is nice isn't it. It's like last time' Bella mocked before turning on that same television screen as before. This time I saw Emily lying in bed crying herself to sleep and when she was finally asleep after making me watch the pain that she was going through, Bella made me watch Emily calling out my name in her sleep and then screaming as she woke up from the nightmares of what had happened.

'I love you' I mouthed to the screen my heart was shattered on the floor. A few weeks passed by and Bella made me do this same thing each week and just like before I watched as Emily cried herself to sleep, called out my name while she was asleep and then waking up screaming in fright that someone was coming to get her. However as the weeks were progressing I saw Emily getting thinner and thinner and growing weaker and weaker. You could now see her collar bones and her face was sunken and she had massive bags underneath her eyes from lack of sleep and crying. 

This time when I was watching her, I saw her lift herself out of her bed and stand up to go to the bathroom but just as she was about to take a step forward she collapsed to the ground, she didn't have the energy to do anything now. She was so weak and I couldn't text Zoe to check on her because Bella would kill my family if I did that. 'Bella please! You have to let me help her!' I screamed out to her but she responded by slapping me across the face. 'The bitch is getting what she deserves!' Bella shouted back to me. 'Bella, listen to me. Please, this isn't you. This is crazy! You are a sweet kind girl who wouldn't do this to anyone. You can get help and then you will find the right guy I promise you that' I begged Bella. 

'You're right. This isn't me. But this is the way to get a man. I tried to be nice and look where that got me! Not this time!' 

'Bella, you won't find the right guy by doing this please. Let me go back to her. Look at her Bella' I said sympathetically. Bella asked the men to untie me and I went and gave her a hug, she needed comforting. I walked out of the house and Bella headed to hand herself in at a mental hospital as I made my way to Emily's house as fast as I could. I arrived and opened the door to which I heard Emily scream 'please! Don't hurt me! I will do anything please!' she screamed while tears fell down her cheeks. I ran over to her and cradled her in my arms, 'it's okay nothings going to happen to you I'm here now' as I whispered this to her she put her head on my shoulders and sobbed loudly.

We stayed there for an hour until she stopped crying and pushed me away, 'get out!' She shouted, 'I hate you. You left me, this is all your fault!' She screamed. 

'Please Em, let me explain' I begged. 'I was kidnapped Emily, by Bella. She made me watch as you got hit by that van and as you cried yourself to sleep. She beat me up and told me that I couldn't contact you or the children and if I did then she would hurt me. That's why you got hit by that van, because I called you' I said trying to explain. 

'So I almost lost my life because of you. You really expect me to believe that you were kidnapped, well while you have been having a fantastic time planning for your wedding I've been terrible. My life is a mess and it's all your fault. I can't even look after our kids anymore, they live with Zack and I have to do 4 different jobs but you know that's all fine as long as you and Bella are happy you know!' She shouted to me. 'Emily please you know it's not like that I swear to you-' 

'You told me yourself that you didn't love me so how can I believe you now. Please leave me alone' she cried before she started to scream out in bed clutching at her stomach. 'Emily! What's wrong what do I do?!' I shouted scared.

'It's the baby!' She shouted back. Baby? What baby?

'What?' I asked confused.

'Oh yes. While you were away with Bella and I was hit by that van I found out that I was four months pregnant!' She shouted and then screamed again. I led her to the sofa and sat her down trying to take in all of the information. When Emily had calmed down, her stomach had stopped hurting and she was finally back to normal. 'I'm sorry Joe, I wanted to tell you. I had my phone in my hand ready to dial your number but I was afraid that you wouldn't care. I decided to save myself the trouble so I told myself for you. Please get out, I need space' she replied which killed me inside knowing how she felt about telling me.

I left the house and stood outside of the door crying on the doorstep...
