Hidden ~ A joe sugg fanfiction

Chapter 17

Ashleys pov
I chatted with mikey and Luke for a while. We sat at the kitchen table and downed a few drinks. Our conversation revolved around mainly YouTube and vidcon.

Around 7pm Cameron came strolling in. Along with kian and jc who I was good friends with.

"Hey kian, jc!" I shouted excusing myself from the conversation.
"Ashley!" They replied. "How's it going? We haven't seen you in while" they both smiled.

"Yeah everything's been good, I've missed you guys"
"Yeah we missed you too. Hey, wanna collab sometime this week? Our viewers love you"

"That sounds great, I'll text you guys later" I replied. They nodded and both gave me a quick hug before shuffling towards the large array of drinks at the kitchen.

"Ashley?" Cameron glanced at me nervously. I've never seen him nervous around me before.
"Cameron" I simply stated walking over to him.
"How are you?" I asked.

"Good good. Ive missed you tho" he smiled shyly.
"Same" I whispered, unsure of how to reply. Kian and jc walked over with an extra red cup on their hand and gave it to Cameron.
He nodded appreciatively.

We walked over to the sitting room, when I realised that I haven't seen Joe all evening. I noticed him on the couch engrossed in conversation with Will and Oli, however he looked a bit distracted. I decided to walk over to him forgetting that Cameron was following me. Joe looked up startled by my appearance. Then he acknowledged what I was wearing and i thought his eyes were going to pop out of his head.

He swept his hand through the his hair looking flustered and a blush crept onto his face.
It looked like he was trying to say something but he couldn't find the words. Maybe Joe does like me.

"You look amazing" Oli complimented.
"Thank you"

I sat down next to Joe with his arm around me. Cameron took a seat on the stool that sat opposite.

The conversation was quite awkward with Cameron there. But I still say close to Joe. Suddenly a group of boys that were presumably friends of kian and jcs sat down around us.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(Warning: strong language)

It was safe to say that Cameron was fairly drunk by now. The rowdy group of boys who decided to join us were drunk now too.
Joe moved me closer to him as the boys began getting louder and more touchy.

Cameron suddenly toppled over nearly spelling his drink on Joe. But he managed to regain balance and save his drink from spilling.

I sighed fed up with his actions. Cameron was a sweet guy and he was gentle and kind but when he was drunk it was a whole different story.

I noticed Jenn walking over and a smile grew on both of our faces.
She walked over saying hi to everyone and whispered to me "Troye said its ok for kian and jc to stay the night to Cameron isn't gonna have a lift home. I suggest you put him to bed he's pretty drunk"
I nodded in agreement and stood up.

I whispered in joes ear that I was gonna get Cameron a place to sleep and he smiled nodding. He looked kind of relieved and to be honest so was I.

"Cameron" I smiled at him.
"Yes babe" he smirked. I froze but regained my confidence.
"Cameron come on. You need to go to bed"
He chuckled while stumbling to get up.
"Last time you took me to bed, We had one hell of a memorable night" he laughed while sending me a devilish grin.

How could he say that in front of everyone.
"We should do it gain some time." he laughed. However only a few of the boys were laughing.

"Oi mate what the hell is your problem?" Oli questioned furiously.
"Don't mate me" Cameron shouted.

There was a bit of a squabble between the boys.
Lastly, Cameron said "can't wait for tonight" slowly. And with that I witnessed Joe punch Cameron in the face. 

I stood still shocked as I witnessed the events that were unfolding in front of me.

Cameron began punching Joe back.

"Cameron! Cameron stop!" I screamed and almost everyone in the house looked our way.

I managed to pull Joe back as Kian and jc shoved Cameron outside.
I watched as Kian shouted at Cameron. I'm thankful that Kian is one of my best friends.

I turned to Joe who was looking down at the floor. His white shirt was ripped and his leather jacket was sprawled across the floor.
I picked it up and threw it on the couch. Joe wasn't cut or bleeding. Although the he had a bruise on his arm. I noticed that Cameron's blood was splattered across his white shirt.

After the fight people who weren't close to us or were our friends began leaving. It was 1am. Woah time goes quickly.
I told people who were my actual friends and had attended the party that they could spend the night here if they wanted. Most accepted.

Zoe ran over carrying a damp towel. She handed it to me as I told Joe to take his shirt off. He hesitates but did so anyway.
He took a seat on the sofa as I began wiping tiny blood splatters off his chest. I then moved to his neck and wiped off any residue.
He twitched slightly as I rubbed against a bruise on his arm.

I looked up at his and he smiled slightly. I then rubbed the blood away from under his eye. He looked into my eyes and sparks flew.

I know that sounds cheesy as heck but I was lost in his blue, ocean like eyes. However, I realised that we were in a room filled with people who shipped us so I looked down.

I threw the wet towel on the floor and sighed sitting back on the sofa. I moved my light hazelnut hair out of my face and closed my eyes.

I felt a weight shift beside me and I opened my eyes slightly.

"I'm sorry" Joe said worryingly, but I stopped him.
"No, thank you" I said smiling while looking into his eyes again, and with that I wrapped my arms around his neck and embraced him in a tight hug.
"You look stunning by the way" he whispered into my ear, sending shivers down my spine.

I must protect this boy at all costs.
