You Should Know (a Joe Sugg Fan Fiction)

Chapter Three // Parachute

My heart was racing. The walls were closing in around me. I couldn't breathe. I got up and stumbled my way to the bathroom and locked the door. I sunk to the bottom of the door and bawled my eyes out.

All I did was re-read the message over and over. There was a knock at the door, "Hannah, are you okay?"

I pulled myself together and shouted "yeah, I just suddenly feel a bit poorly. I'm going to have a shower."

"Okay," he replied, "I'm here if you need me. I'm going to do some editing. I love you."

That killed me. I mustered up the courage to return the saying. I pulled myself up off the floor and walked over to the shower and turned it on. I looked at my phone again and threw it across the room.

My head was so confused. He wouldn't and he couldn't right? Not Joe. Not my Joe.

I began standing in the shower, feeling the scolding water on my back, but soon sunk to the bottom sobbing, the words playing in my head. My head was spinning from the heat and what I had just been told. I soon enough passed out.

I woke in bed a few hours later with Joe sitting beside me looking concerned. I was confused, then it all came rushing back to me. I looked over at the bathroom door to see it bashed in and then looked at Joe. "Well, that's the deposit gone."

I held my hands to my face and burst into tears.  Joe would never ever do what the email said. He's too caring. Why did I believe it. Why did I do this to him. I don't believe it!

"Joe, I'm so sorry." I sobbed as he removed my hands from my face. He engulfed me into a hug.

"Everything is going to be okay, I'm not going anywhere." I nuzzled myself into his neck while he cradled me.

As soon as I had calmed down, he went and got me a glass of water. I snuggled down into the duvet and replayed the day in my mind. How did it go from perfect to this?

Joe soon returned and got into bed next to me. "I really do love you." He admitted "I would do anything for you". He kissed me on the forehead as I lay on his chest. I looked up at him to see tears falling down his cheeks. I got a tissue and wiped them away. "I'd do anything to protect you." He finished off.

I went back to laying on his chest. "I love every part of you Sugg" I closed my eyes "I love every freckle and every scar. I love your eyes. I love your smile. I love your nose. I love your mind and soul. I love your humour. I mean, sometimes you're an idiot, but I love that too" I looked up at him and he smiled. "And I would follow you to the ends of the earth".

He took my head in his hands and kissed me passionately before spending the last night in the cottage.

I woke at 4am, and rolled over to see Joe sleeping peacefully. I like to watch him sleep. I like to admire him when he's not aware of it. I trace his perfectly formed abs lightly with my finger, then move up to his face. I lightly kiss him on the lips before getting up and heading downstairs.

The light had just began to crack the sky in the west as I made myself a tea. I put my headphones in and listened to "Parachute" by Charlie Simpson just to get the thoughts from out of my head. Joe wouldn't do what they have accused him of, would he? I didn't believe it. I sat quietly for an hour before heading back up to bed where Joe was still looking as beautiful as before. As I got into bed, he stirred.

"Hey," he said in a raspy tone, "where have you been?"

"Just to get a drink." I replied quietly, "now go back to sleep."

Joe struggled and turned over to face the balcony. I didn't think I was going to sleep for the next few hours so I got my notebook out and wrote.

It was 10am when I finished packing my suitcase, I was just bringing it down the stairs when there was a knock at the door.

"I'll get it!" I shouted at Joe who was checking the traffic on his laptop in the kitchen.

I opened the door to find two policeman standing there. "Hello ma'am. Is Joseph Sugg available?" At that moment, Joe walked around the corner and all my fears of the last twelve hours came true. The first policeman walked up to Joe followed by the second one. "Joseph Sugg, I'm arresting you on the suspicion of murdering Gabriella Lindley".
