Paper thin // Joe Sugg au

*5*

I knocked on the door of Nikki's house, a pillow under my arm and an over-packed bag hanging off of my wrist.

"Millyyyyyyy!" Nikki squealed excitedly, tugging me into a tight embrace.

"Nikki!" I laughed "It's been, like, 3 hours! Why are you so excited to see me?" I managed to haul myself into her house, the bag was really weighing me down.

"Put the back down over there" She pointed to the end of the hallway, the entrance to her living room. "I'm excited because we haven't had sleepover in ages! Plus I have a chocolate fountain, we can make smoothies and ooooh we could make smores!" Nikki said, practically jumping up and down. I giggled and nodded my head causing Nikki to have a wide grin spread across her face.

"Let's gooooo!" She shouted while dragging me up the stairs like a hyper five year-old.

...

"We should play truth or dare. It'll be fun!" I smirked at Nikki. She always thought it was an 'invasion of privacy' and a 'way to make some one look like an utter twat'.

"Sure, I'll go first!" To be quite honest, I was surprised.

"Okay then, truth or dare?"

"Hmmm, Truth. Oh, no! Dare, dare! I want a dare! Actually... truth?" She sat confused for a few seconds before I asked a 'truth' question.

"Do you like anyone?" I raised my eyebrows in a joking way.

"Yeah, I like you!" She raised her eyebrows back, laughing.

"No! You know what I mean! D like-like someone. Like, like-like-like someone?"

"Huh? There was too many likes in that sentence for my liking, hun!" She giggled as I rolled my eyes at her.

"Do you have a crush on anyone?" I asked slowly (so she actually understood)

"Oooh! Hmm, let me think..." She put her index finger on her chin and scrunched her mouth into a tight pout to the side of her face "Yeah, I guess I do" I squealed with excitement.

"Who? who? who? who? whoooo?" I rushed enthusiastically.

"Nuh-uh, my truth is over! Truth or dare?" She asked with a very smug look on her face.

"Dare!" I said, looking very proud of myself. It then drained away very, very quickly.

"I are dare you to... Ask Joe out on a date" Nikki looked far more proud. I felt a look of horror on my face. I couldn't do that! That was so mean! What if he says no? What if he says no? What if he thinks like him in that way but he doesn't like me in that way back? I would look like a fool!

"Fine, where's my phone?" Even Nikki didn't want to hear that. She obviously was trying to push me to my limit but I didn't want to look like a pussy. Apparently I was fine with looking like a fool though.

Me: Hey Joe, It's Milly. Did you want to meet up soon?

I put my phone down with caution, waiting for the dreaded reply.

"Let's continue!" I say half-heartedly, trying to chase away the anxious thoughts.

"Okay, Dare!"

"Drink a cup of toilet water!" I watched the look f utter disgust wipe across her face.

"Ew! NO! It's not even clean!" She started squirming, clearly thinking about drinking it.

"When was the last time you cleaned it?" I asked calmly.

"Just before you came, why?" She looked bewildered by the odd question.

"Should be fine to drink then! Trust me, I've done it before with Zo-Zoe" I tried not to stutter with her name but I failed miserably. Nikki must have not noticed because she stood up and puffed her chest out.

"Okay, right!" She marched into the kitchen, grabbing a plastic cup from the side. I ran quickly to get my phone. This was going to be undeniably hilarious.

"I'm ready!" She called nervously. When I walked into the bathroom she was knelt infront of her toilet, the cup in her hand full of toilet water. I pressed record.

"Go on then! Drink it all up!" I was In hysterics. Nikki choked on most of the water and ended up laughing so much she poured it down herself.

I felt my phone buzz in my hand but was too caught up in a laughing fit.
"It's not... funny" Nikki panted, coughing dramatically every few seconds.
After both calming down, we went back to the livi room to continue the game.
"Has Joe seen it yet?" Nikki's eyes glowed with hope.
"Let me check. My phone buzzed earlier but i didn't check it. Not that i could actually see anything anyway, you choking brought me to tears!" I say, forcing myself not to laugh again. Nikki shook her head disapprovingly.
I looked around for my phone and spotted it on the sofa. I took a deep breath before picking it up. I clicked the home screen button to make the phone light up.
There, on the screen, was something completely unexpected.
"Milly? A-are you okay? You've gone really pale! Did Joe say something?"
"N-no" I was shocked "It's my ex"
