August [Joe Sugg fan fiction]

CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO

Joe's POV:

As we ride in the car to I don't even know where Chloe clenches on to my hand. We sit in the back seat not wanting to speak.
"what should we do?" she whispers. I shrug and 'I don't know' and try to comfort her.
"it'll be okay. I promise." I say than kiss her forehead. The man pull out a gun from the glove compartment then just sets it down on the passenger seat, probably trying to intimidate us.
After about 15 minutes he pulls up to to a small house behind a grocery store.
"get out." the man says pulling us out of the car. Chloe still hold on the my arm and I see tears falling down her face as we walk. I wipe them away and smile at her but she doesn't smile back. (A/N: OH REJECTED!)
"come in here." he says opening the door to a very nice living room with a chandelier and sofa that has very nicely stacked pillows.
"I got em' " the man yells. Chloe starts to shake and I can see more tears but she stays quite.
"thank you!" a cheerful familiar voice says. A silhouette of a man shadows over a hallway wall then the man walks out. It's Chloe's dad.
"Hi Kids! how are yo-" he cuts himself off and runs to Chloe. She sucks behind me and I stand in front of her as a shield.
"Sweetheart? what's the matter?" he says trying to walk around me.
"your little friend there bloody kidnapped us!!!" I say.
"what?! Leroy?!" he yelled. Chloe grabs my hand and walks back around next to me.
"if we want we can leave. the doors right behind us." I whisper to Chloe. She nods her head no and she looks at her phone.
"I'll text Con to come get us in an Uber." she says typing.
Leroy comes out from the hall and says, "what?" is a very vow tone.
"I told you to knock on their door and invite them to have dinner!" he says in a slightly angrier tone."
"boss, when I came to the door this fellow answered and wouldn't let me in. so I let myself in. but the girl wasn't there."
"then you tied me up and threatened to smash a vase over my head!!" I yell.
"look this was all a misunderstanding. Chloe I just wanted to talk to you about... everything! I want to get to know you better." he starts to walk up to her but she steps back and I block her. We all her a knock on the door and Chloe steps forward. She looks like she's about to say something but she swallows her words ,takes a deep breath, flips him off and walks to the door. She opens it and there stands Connor.
"hey guys, the ubers' right there. what's wrong?" he asks. She walks right past him and steps into the car.
"jeez. what happened?" he asks.
"I don't even know mate." I say gesturing for him to follow me to the car. The whole ride back Chloe's silent. She stares out the window as Connor tried to comfort her by hugging her from the side while resting his head on her shoulder.
When we get back to the flat Chloe grabs Connors hand and drags him up stairs.

Chloe's POV:
I feel so pathetic but right when I close the door to the guest room with Connor I bawl my eyes out. I try to think back on all of the great times I've had with my dad, But nothing comes to mind. All I remember is him working. He never told me what he was working on but he was working, all the time. If I asked him to help me with homework, "no. I'm working."
If I asked him to help me make dinner,
"no. I'm working."
every little thing he did, revolved around work. I don't know why I'm crying at this point because I shouldn't be sad. My dads back; he's not working and I have all my friends with me. Why the hell am I crying? I then realized in hugging Connor and slowly let go. I wipe my tears and walk downstairs. Jeez I did not expect all of this to happen. It seems like my life a just a story that people direct for entertainment. (A/N 😉😂) I walk down stairs while holding Connors hands and see everyone sitting in the couch. Zoe, Alfie, Bella, and Joe are all staring at us as we walk in. I sit down and it seems as if they were jus waiting for me to come down because right when I get comfortable Alfie turns on the tv and we start to watch some random movie. I cuddle up next to Joe and scrolling through my Twitter feed. I'm sitting next to Chloe who is smiling at her phone, probably texting Caspar.
"Hey Chlo? When are we going to go home?" she asks.
"Oh, I don't know. I kinda want to go back to Joes."
"okay, when?"
I shrug and lean over to Joe.
"When are we going back to yours?" I whisper.
"tomorrow?" I nod yes and tell Bella.
"thanks."
When we finished the movie it's almost midnight and I head up to bed. Bella and I both sleep in the spare bedroom but it feels impossible to fall asleep because I can hear Alfie vlogging and Joe is filming a video the another room. I can also hear Bella's horrendous snores so I place in (wireless) earbuds and fall asleep to the sound of Shawn Mendes :)
