I gently knocked on the hotel room door. I ran my hand through my knotted hair, absolutely drained. But Joe needed me, and I could never turn that down. On the phone, he sounded desperate. Even though he left me seven years ago and ignored me, I could never ignore him.

Joe opened the door, and saw me. His hair was a fluffy mess, his eyes were bloodshot, and his cheeks looked puffy. Now, Joe Sugg never cries. So this pretty much surprised me.

I looked down at my outfit. Black pajama pants and a UCF long sleeve t shirt and fluffy pig flip flops that I wore around the apartment to keep my feet warm. I literally drove here right when Joe called me.

We stood there a few seconds, staring at each other. I finally decided to say something.

"I brought some hot cocoa."

He gave me a small smile and invited me in. I walked into the cold hotel room, looking around. I saw the plastic Disney bags on the floor next to the suit cases.

"Wow, you know, I'm surprised that it's not messy yet." I told him, walking to the small kitchen area. Their room was basically two. There was the kitchen, then the actual room with the beds, then the living room, and the bathroom. I grabbed two coffee mugs from the cabinet that the hotel provided, and then I poured some water in them, popping them in the microwave.

He laughed nervously, running a hand through his hair. If anything, that was one huge habit that we had in common.

"So," I asked, turning around and leaning on the kitchen counters, "you had fun today?"

He nodded. "I had an amazing time. Caspar's passed out on the bed."

"Mason did, too. He's never been to Disney that late before. Usually we leave after the fireworks, but you guys haven't been here in a long time, so we decided to stay out until it closes." I explained, playing with my hands. I looked up to see Joe sitting on the countertop in front of the sink.

"I think it was a great way to drain out our energy." He shrugged. I smiled.

The microwave beeped, so I turned around and took the two hot mugs and started mixing the cocoa powder in them. Once I finished mixing them, I brought the steaming hot mugs over to Joe and I to the counter top.

"Tell me about this nightmare."

He started to cry afterwards, and I couldn't help but give him a huge hug.

Joe dreamt about me? Yelling at him saying these horrible things? I mean, when he ignored me yeah I was angry and I've had dreams where I've put him in his place, but what he just described to me sounds like plain torture.

I pulled away and wiped his eyes with my thumb gingerly. He sniffled and started to play with my hair like he did before.

"Do you want to go and lay down?" He offered roughly. I checked the time, seeing that it was 3:40. Usually I would say no, but I just felt bad for him so I nodded my head.

He grabbed my hand and pulled me over to his room where his bed was. It was next to Caspar's, who was snoring. Joe took off his shirt, and I widened my eyes.

"Woah, okay." I said, turning around the other way. I heard him faintly laugh.

"It's fine, Liana. You can turn around." He said, and I could hear the smile in his voice. I slowly turned around, just in time to see him plop down on his bed. I awkwardly sat the foot of his bed, as he stared at me with his hands behind his head.

"What?" I asked.

"Nothing." He smiled. "Come here."

He stuck out his hand and I grasped it, and he pulled me towards his bare chest. Considering that the hotel was freezing, he was insanely warm. He also smelled nice, to be honest.

I saw him close his eyes, so I did, too. I turned myself away from him so I could get in a comfier position, so he wrapped his arm around my shoulder and held my hand. I opened my eyes smiled to myself, before closing my own eyes again and drifting off to sleep.

I slowly opened my eyes and realized that I woke up in an unfamiliar room. Then I looked next to me, where I saw Joe with his arms tightly around me. I could feel our legs tangled below us. I saw the light through the window, and then I widened my eyes, realizing that I had work.

"Oh, shit." I said, trying to untangle Joe's arms from me, but he just kept tightening them around me.

"Five more minutes." He mumbled into my hair.

"Joe, I have to work today!" I tried to explain to him, my hair becoming a huge gigantic mess as I continued to struggle with his strong arm. I saw him open his eyes and they widened and he immediately remove his hands from me.

"Oh, shit! I'm sorry, Liana." He said as I sprang free from his grasp.

"No, no, it's fine. Keep the hot cocoa. I literally have twenty minutes till my shift starts. Do you have any black clothes? Just like a black shirt, that's all. I need it for work." I said urgently. I might just have to go to Zoe's room to borrow some leggings.

"Yeah, yeah!" He said, rummaging through his suit case. "Here," He threw me. I caught it swiftly.

"All right, thanks. Okay, I'll talk to you later. I'll tell you if I got fired or not!" I called out to him as I ran our of his room and to Zoe's room.

I knocked on the door continuously. Alfie opened it, and I walked in without greeting him.

"Zoe! Zoe?" I yelled for her.

"In the bathroom!"

I went to her bathroom and I knocked on the door. "Zoe, I need to borrow a pair of leggings before I head off to work. Is it okay if I borrow some?" I asked impatiently. "I'm kind of late."

"Of course! They're in my suit case." She called.

There were two suit cases at the bottom of the bed, and I realized that the pink one was Zoe's. I opened it and rummaged through her suit case, finding her leggings. Then I closed it.

"Thanks, Zoe! I owe you!" I called as I ran out of the hotel room.

I ran through the parking lot and found my car, and I opened it and sat in the car, putting on my seatbelt- safety first- then speeding out of the hotel lot. I literally had to drive all the way from Kissimmee to the Millennia Mall, so that means I had to speed on I-Drive if I were to make it on time.
