Save Me. {A Joe Sugg FanFiction}

nineteen

After my encounter with Joe I had to leave and get some work done. Now I had finished I sat on my bed on my laptop, scrolling through tumblr.. Again. I like a Phan edit just as my phone pings. I pick it up and smile at it.

Alexa: POOTATO ;)

I look at Alexa's text. I laugh and type a quick reply.

Me: Mate... That's not how you spell potato :)

Alexa: yeah well I texted you that because I knew you wouldn't reply otherwise. Your terrible at replying ;)

Me: true dat

Alexa: oh by the wayyy.... Are you number 14 or 15? ;)

Me:  14 why??

Alexa doesn't reply and the doorbell rings.
That's odd. It's my week off next week. So why would anyone be knocking on my door now? I sigh, closing my laptop and going to the door.
I open it casually. I was planning to be antisocial for the next 24 hours; feasting on snacks and watching Netflix. But my plans have been interrupted.
But my mind instantly changes its tune when I see who's standing in the door way with a great big smile plastered on her face.
Alexa.
We both squeal and hug each other. A grin spread across my face.
We squeal again and jump up and down, eyes wide and I clap my hands.
'Alexa? What are you doing here!?' I ask breathlessly.
She smirks.
'I have some awesome, awesome, awesome news. In fact, let's go in. You might have to sit down.' She teases.
I nod and lead the way.
We sit on the sofa and I smile.
'So? What's the news?' I press.
She pauses and then squeals.. Again.
'I'm moving into the flats opposite you!' She practically screams.
'Oh my god! No way!' I say, aghast.
'Yeah! This is gonna be awesome!'
'I have so much gossip to tell you!' I say, dragging out the 'o' is so.
I'm about to tell her when there's another knock on the door.
'Wait here.' I say and go to the door.
I open it and Joe and Caspar are standing there.
'Ah boys. Come in, my friend Alexa has arrived. I would like you to meet her.' I say slyly.

*Caspar's POV*

Joe and I follow Emma into the sitting room. Sitting on the sofa is the so called Alexa.
She's gorgeous.
She has olive skin and practically black hair that is loosely curled. Her eyelashes are thick and long and frame her dark eyes. She smiles and I feel my heart flutter.
'Is this the legendary Joe?' She asks, her accent clearly Australian and it goes with her looks.
'Yes. And this is Caspar.' Emma says, pointing to me.
I freeze.
'Umm... Hi..' I mumble. Just being around her makes me want to fall to my knees.
She stares at me.
I stare back.
We're lost in the moment, the rest of the world melts away and all that is left is her eyes boring into mine. It's like we're trapped in a parallel universe; always can see but can never touch.
Joe and Emma stand there awkwardly.
Emma breaks the silence.

'Caspar? Alexa?' Emma clicks her fingers in front of my face and immediately I'm brought back to reality. I wish she hadn't. I could stare and Alexa all day.. Not in a creepy perverted way. In a 'I feel things I've never felt before' kinda way.
I cough and look at Emma and Joe. They're holding hands.
Alexa gasps.
'You're..? You two...? You guys..?' She says, utterly lost for words.
'We've been dating for nearly 3 or 4 weeks now.' Says Emma, smiling up at Joe. I feel a tug at my stomach. I know that it's stupid but I just wish that Alexa will look at me that way one day.
'Awww you guys are so cute together!' She says, a hint of something in her voice.
'Right who wants pizza?' Emma asks.
'Me!' I shout, punching the air with my fist. 'Woop!' I laugh.
Emma and Alexa look at each other.
'Wool!' They say in unison.
'What on earth are you guys on about?' Joe asks, smiling.
'Well, I was going to type 'Woop' once but it changed to wool so whenever anyone says woop we say wool.' Emma laughs. Alexa laughs with her.
I stare at Alexa again.
Whatever I felt for Emma is nothing to how I feel around Alexa.
I thought I knew what love was but - when you truly do fall in love - I didn't and now I do. It's smacked me tight in the face and I can't control it. Because love does things to you; good and bad. Only the better man comes out with a lady whom he loves on the other side.
And this time, I think I'm ready.
