My Favorite Lifesaver (Joe Sugg Fan Fiction)

Chapter 2

"Isabella! Hurry up!" I heard Zoe yelling from the living room. I took the last glance at the mirror trying to convince myself that I'm wearing a good enough dress for this occasion. Joe and Zoe are meeting up with their friends and they wanted me to meet them too. They've told me about some of them but I've never sure enough to meet them because...you know me. I'm just too afraid to meet new people. But I've met Louise. She's a real nice lady. She came the other day and it was like magic then we're friends. She was the one who told me to be confident and stuffs. And she also taught me about fashion. She was a goddess at it just like Zoe.

After some yelling from Zoe I finally went out my room staring blankly to the ground and met them at the living room. I looked at Joe whose eyes are widened at me and Zoe kept on nudging him with a smirk.

Zoe loved to teased Joe and I making me feel overly confident but that combo just won't work. Joe and I will never be together. Joe won't want to be with a girl like me. I'd be lying if I say I don't like Joe. But I can deal with that. We've lived together for 11 years now and I've been watching girls come and go from his side. Seeing more won't kill me.

"Come on, love birds. We have dinner waiting for us." We both laughed as Zoe said that and got into the car.

"Guys, what if they don't like me?" I finally asked them. I was freaking out to death.

"What are you saying? Look at you. You're b...awesome. They'll love you." Joe assured me. I smiled at him and just sat back all the way to the restaurant.

Once we arrived, they waved their hands showing us were they were. There were a bunch of good looking guys and a couple of beautiful women sitting there. One of them was Louise, of course. They all greeted me nicely. I learned all their names and soon took my seat. This shall be fun, right?

The waiter gave us menus and waited there for us to order our foods. I looked at Joe not knowing what to eat since that was my first time coming there.

"The pasta here is so good. You should try it." One of the boys said which I believe his name was Jim. He was engaged to the beautiful lady sitting next to her. I smiled and nodded.

"Are you gonna order that? You should just get a salad, Bella." Caspar said and giggled while the rest stopped not saying a word probably not believing what Caspar just said to me. I didn't know how to react. Well, I'm fat. What did I expect them to like me? I told Joe and Zoe I wasn't ready to meet their friends. They won't like me and see it yourself.

"Shut it, Caspar. Don't ever say such a thing to her." Joe spoke up for me. I'm glad I have him but I won't always be with him. He won't always be there for me. What if I he finally get married and move out?

"I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I..."

"Excuse me." I cut him off and left the rest to the restaurant's veranda outside. I don't know why I cried. It somehow hurt too much. I know I used to get that all the time but that one hurts.

It felt like it had been forever since someone would mock me that way. I'm dramatically sensitive, I know. I easily cry and hurt just because of some stupid things people say to me. I'd actually over think about it. But ever since I lived with Zoe and Joe, they've always protected me from anyone who'd possibly say something bad about me. Even at school, they'd introduce me to their friends so at the end I was friends with most of the people at school and no one would actually make fun of me if that makes any sense.

"Bella?" I heard someone called me. I wiped all my tears away. Keep your head up, Bella. You're stronger than this.
