Save Me. {A Joe Sugg FanFiction}

thirty-seven

After my first video, Joe and I lay on the bed talking about our future, kissing and talking about anything and everything.
'So... If you had the ideal pet it would be a tiger? Is that correct?' Joe asks me after our discussion on the ideal pet.
'Yup, everyone I didn't like I could just point and them and then my tiger would gobble them up and they're gone.' I say and giggle devilishly.
'Jesus, there's more about you than I thought.' Joe mutters, smiling.
I prop myself up on my elbow, still facing Joe.
'Who did you think I was?' I smirk.
'Well let's see...a crazy, funny, beautiful girl that I love but then... Nah you're too creepy.' Joe teases.
'Fine then! I guess this is it!' I joke, turning away from him.
'Noo don't leave meee.' Joe whines playfully and pulls me round to face him, I do reluctantly and pout.
'You look adorable when you're fake angry.' Joe says, pecking my nose. I scrunch my face up and say nothing.
'Cm'here.' Joe says, smothering me in a hug. I give in and hug him back, wrapping my legs around his hips and pushing my head into his chest as far as I can.
'I lovez youz Shemma.' Joe says in a weird voice.
'Me too.' I mumble from his chest.
'Shemma?'
'Yesh Joeeyyy?' I reply.
'I need to go and set up your party..' He says evilly.
'Fucks sake I don't want a party Joe!' I laugh.
'Fine it's not a party... It's a 'friends-coming-over-for-the-week-and-randomly-bringing-presents..thing.' Joe says defiantly.
'Fine fine, just no singing happy birthday or anything like that!' I say as Joe races down the stairs.
'Damn.' I mutter, he probably didn't hear me.
I hear footsteps up the stairs and I hope it's Joe.
It's not.
It's Jamie.
'Jamie? Hey.' I say.
'Emma. Hi..' He says breathlessly.
'What's up?' I ask him.
'Emma I... Umm...' He says running a hand through his hair.
'Errrr..I....' He says awkwardly.
And the next thing I know is he his kissing me.
I slap him and push him off.
I wipe my mouth.
'Jamie? The fuck! What was that?' I yell.
Jamie looks heartbroken but I don't care, you don't just come and kiss someone like that, someone who is in a relationship. Not only a strong one but I'm pregnant!
'I.. I'm sorry Emma... I don't know what came over me..' Jamie says looking at the floor.
'Damn right you should be sorry.' I spit, I don't know what this is, I'm not normally like this.
'It's just... Are you sure you love Joe?' Jamie asks.
'Oh my god Jamie! Of course I am... Wait... DID YOU KISS ME TO TRY AND MAKE ME LIKE YOU?' I yell, my voice rising. No wonder the whole street can hear me.

Joe's POV

I look around the house for the bunting Melissa said there was but I can't find any anywhere. I sigh, I'm going to have to go out.
'Hey Joe.. I'm just gonna go upstairs a sec..' Mumbles Jamie, hurrying up the stairs to mine and Emma's room.
Odd. I follow him, I know it's wrong and Zoe would be furious but I want to know what's going on.
I go slowly, careful to not be heard.
I hear a slap and Emma yelling.
'Jamie? The fuck! What was that?' She yells.
I go closer confused, Emma is never like this. What did Jamie do?
'I...I'm sorry Emma... I don't know what came over me..' I hear Jamie say.
'Damn right you should be sorry.' Emma snaps. This is really odd. What did Jamie do!?
'It's just...are you sure you love Joe?' Jamie asks. I freeze, wanting to hear her answer.
'Oh my god! Of course I am! Wait... DID YOU KISS ME TO TRY AND MAKE ME LIKE YOU?' Emma yells. My blood boils, Jamie tried to kiss Emma? Did she go through with it? Or was that what the slap was? My mind races.
'Yes Emma! I did! I don't like that Joe guy! Ok? I want you to like me not him!' Jamie says, his voice rising too.
'I'm in love with him Jamie. Nothing will change!'
'We'll see about that.' Jamie mutters and I hear him coming so I hid in the cupboard.
Nice move Joe. Jeez.
As I hear his feet go down the stairs and the front door slam, I go up tentatively.  I open the door to Emma sobbing silently into a cushion.
'Emma! Baby, are you ok?' I say softly, pulling her into a hug.
'I don't want to talk about it.' She mutters.
'I heard you and Jamie..' I trail off, it's a long shot to try and talk about it now.
'Well then you'll know that I just lost one of my best friends! He kissed me Joe! How is not going to be awkward after that?' She says sniffing.
'It might be awkward sure but.. If you two really are friends then it won't be so bad will it?' I say, rubbing her back.
'Ugh forget about it. I'm not talking to him. Do I have to wear a dress for this 'party'?' Emma asks, wiping her tears away. I sigh.
'Yes.. There's a special announcement halfway through and... It's kinda a formal event.' I say nervously, she didn't want a party and now she's probably going to flip.
'Jooooe! You know what..? Fine. You do your thing I'm going to go out with mum shopping, I have no dresses.' She laughs, taking out her hair and shaking it loose.
I kiss her and jump up.
'Sure, I need to get a few things ready for the... Not party.' I wiggle my eyebrows and run out.

I stand back, wiping my hands and admiring my artwork.
Across the low ceiling in the foyer is a banister saying 'Happy Birthday Emma!'
A massive bouquet of flowers sits on the big table. Red roses.
Helium balloons are surrounding the place which remind of the prank I played on Caspar. A tingle of homesickness reels through me but I shake it away: I'll be seeing them soon.
I go into the kitchen and check on the food and layout.
A buffet is laid along with special Australian chips and sweets. A chocolate fountain is on the end of the table but I still need to put the chocolate in and get it working.
The dancing table has been put in the garage and I put a disco ball and lava lamps around on tiny tables.
The fountain in the garden is on and so are the lights in the pool.
I hope she likes it.
I swallow down the nervous lump in my throat: tonight is the night.
