The Not So Normal Couple (a Joe Sugg fan fiction)

Chapter Ten: Her Past

Maddie's POV:
i slowly approach Joe who's back is facing me. his hands on his head.

"Joe?.." i say cautiously.

he spins around to face me. his eyes all red and puffy.

"why didn't you tell me?? you could have said something." Joe says sniffling, with anger in his voice.

"Joe, I couldn't. Caspar doesn't know about us, so he really didn't do anything wrong.. since he didn't know. if he knew I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have done what he did.." i said really thinking about what had happened.

"I know that. but he should had suspected something. I mean Josh knew, he told me. but Cas was blind to it..." he paused. "Maddie.. do you mind me asking what he did to you exactly?"

"Joseph, he didn't make out with me. he was dabbing my shirt and pulled my shirt off my shoulder...he kissed my shoulder up to my neck, and-" but Joe cuts me off.

"agh I don't want to hear anymore." Joe says turning around and walking to the living room.

"no Joe. you need to know. I pulled away right away and I told him I couldn't. I took another step away from him. he just looked at me. stared at me. Joe, he took another step closer. I mean I told him no, but he came closer." I say now tearing up.

Maddie what are you doing. why are you tearing up?

Joe doesn't say a word. he just walks up to me and give me a huge bear hug. now here we were; both crying in each other's arms in Joe and his best friends living room.

I've told Joe I had problems with relationships before but he surely didn't know what I was about to tell him.

"joe, I need to tell you something." I say wiping away my tears. I look at Joe and wipe his away. I cup his face and gaze into those perfect now almost blue gray eyes.

"sit down." we take a sit in the kitchen.
"you know I've had problems in the past with relationships, and boys. I need to tell you that.. I was-" I sniffle but keep going seeing Joe's face fall even more. " I was treated very badly in my past "relationships". these people I were dating weren't nice to me like you are. they would force me to do things I didn't want to do." i say becoming teary eyed, " Caspar, when he didn't listen to me when I said no, it just reminded me of those terrible memories. I never ever want to experience that again. that's somewhat why I quit YouTube. I would always get comments like why is your face bruised? why do you seem so depressed? can you please stop being so sad all the time. do more fun things! why do you look so tired? Maddie! you look so skinny! tell me your secrets. I got all different kinds of hate/people just being worried. but Joe, I couldn't take it. I couldn't tell them. I was stuck. I couldn't get away from these people and all the comments who were worried/annoyed at me. not until these people were eventually done with me and left. they all just left. then there were the usually hate comments. I couldn't do it anymore. and I couldn't escape" I pause. I look at Joe who has tears rolling down his face but he just looks at me. " but Joe, I did. I did escape. I got my life back. i got back into my studies. I blocked all those people out. then a person came along. a boy. Nick. he became my best friend. we spent every minute together things were going great! we decided to go out, but 2 weeks in, I began to feel trapped again. I thought Nick was so different but he really wasn't. I left him, and he went crazy.. i mean he stalked me, and he would..." this is where I really broke down. Joe cupped my face and I could tell he couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Joe I was broken again. but then, this miracle happened.

I found you.."
