Friendzoned (A Joey Graceffa Fan Fiction)

Chapter 1: Guess who's back?

Chapter 1 (Joey POV- Present Day):

I hear a knock on my bedroom door and roll out of bed barely able to keep my eyes open. I open the door to Kalel, standing with her arms wide open.

"Bye Joey! Sorry I woke you up, but I had to say goodbye before we left."

I accept the hug and mumble "ok, have fun," but I doubt she could understand what I was saying.

Anthony calls out from the living room, "Come on babe, we don't wanna miss our flight. Bye Joey!"

Kalel turns and leaves. Kalel and Anthony are going on a vacation to Japan for a week, and I forget to say goodbye last night so I guess she wanted to wake me up before they left. I shut my door and lay back in bed, groaning into my pillow. What time is it? I look up at my alarm clock. 5:00am. Great.

I roll over and fall back asleep again. I wake back up at 12pm feeling refreshed. I stand up and go into my bathroom. I get ready for the day and hop into Satsuki to go get some groceries at Whole Foods.

As I'm parking my car in front of Whole Foods, my phone rings. It's Brittany. I haven't talked to Brittany in over 2 months. I feel bad for not keeping in touch like we said we would, but it's hard when we each are busy and have different groups of friends.

I break out of my thought and rush to answer the phone before it hangs up after the fourth ring. And I'm too late. I can call her back after I get food.

When I get back to my parked car, I put the groceries in the back and pull out my phone. 1 New Voicemail from Brittany Joyal. I listen to her message as I pull out of the parking lot and drive home.

"Hey Joey! I feel like it's been forever since we've talked- definately way too long. Anyways.. do you remember Katie from Boston? She's moving to LA! She called me and told me she got an internship for the summer that could potientally turn into a full time job. She's working for some fashion company I think.. well I'm not sure exactly what she's doing. So she found an apartment which coincidentally is in the same complex as mine! She's moving in Friday, and I'm gonna help her unpack. I didn't ask her yet, but do you wanna hangout with us on Saturday? Let me know. Ahh, so excited! Okay, text me, bye!"

Wow, I can't believe it, maybe we can all be good friends again. I drive home, put away the groceries and text Brittany back.

"Om-freakin-g girl, hey! It has been forever, and aah so excited Katie's moving here! And by Friday, do you mean tomorrow or next week? If she's coming tomorrow, does she have a ride from the airport yet? I can pick her up if you're busy. Just text me the address to the complex. And yeah we should all hang Saturday!"

Brittany texts back in what seems like 30 seconds, "I forgot she needs a ride! Yeah, she's coming tomorrow- you sure you don't mind getting her? Her flight lands at 12 and here's her cell if you can't find her 123-456-7890. I'll text her yours, thanks so much! See ya Saturday!"

Brittany and I text back in forth about little things and before I know its 7pm. I'm super bored so I decided to call one of my best friends Cat to come over so we can film a video. Cat and I have always been like brother and sister and we always laugh hysterically at the crazy fan girls that ship us and call us JCat.

We dated last year before the Race and took a break when Meghan and I left to film. When we came back she didn't bring us up so I didn't either. It's not awkward between us, I guess we just figured it's for the best.

Cat and I hang around for a little bit and catch up. We decide to film a couple of videos. We do a truth and dare video and throw in a few kisses to spice it up. Everytime youtubers kiss in videos the ratings spike up and the fans love it. Some of them geniunely think Cat and I are dating, which is understable because we used to, but I definitely don't feel that way anymore. I'm comfortable with our friendship, but I've never asked Cat how she feels.

I go to bed with thoughts of Cat and our former relationship running through my head. It's better if we stay friends... I think.
