Paper thin // Joe Sugg au

"Brennon?" Nikki seemed to have lost her enthusiasm.
"Yeah, he's asking if i've moved house. What do i do?" I was worried. Brennon and I had a bad history. One i preferred not to dig up at the current moment.
"Ignore it. It's probably been sent to the wrong person, you know him..."i knew Nikki was trying to help but that definitely did not make feel any better about the situation.
"That's true" I nodded "what's the time?" Nikki looked across the room at the clock that i never knew was there.
"Errrr, 11:10" she said with great difficulty.
"It's nearly 11:11! We should think if a wish no to say then." I thought of all the things i could say. Making my hairs stand on end from fear, my phone buzzed. I gulped, hoping it wasn't Brennon. It was a messaged. It wasn't from Brennon; It was from Joe.
Joe: Okay, when?
I had no idea how to feel. I was happy, nervous, sympathetic and annoyed all at once. Nikki took the hint that it was Joe and quickly said "tell him it's 11:11 and to make a wish" Her smile was so wide that it couldn't fit in the grand canyon. I quickly typed out a message as it hit 11:11.
Me: Hang on, it's 11:11. Wish for something.
I thought hard about my wish and quickly muttered it under my breath, Smiling afterwards. Nikki was the first t speak again.

"Why do you think Brennon would want to know if you've moved house. It's a bit, I don't know, creepy, isn't it?" This got me thinking. Why did he want to know? If he wanted to talk he would just text me (not that I would reply). It's not like he's seen anything on social media. I haven't planned to move at all lately. There was no car on my drive either so I'm obviously out.

"What if he's at my house?" My breathing pace picked up rapidly and I could feel myself begin to shake.

"No! That's just insane! Hey, Mills? He's not at your house. He can't do anything. Even if he is, you're here" Nikki reassured me. My phone buzzed again and opened it to see Joe had messaged me.

Joe: What was your wish? :)

Me: It's a secret, that's what makes it a wish. If I tell you then it may not happen.

My phone buzzed again but this time it wasn't Joe, it was Brennon again.

Brennon: Are you out? We need to talk. Face-to-face.

Me: I really can't. I'm out with friends.

Brennon: You're round Nikole's. Is it alright if I come over?

"Nikki, he wants to come over. He knew I was here, I didn't even have to tell him. What do I do?" Nikki's eyes went wide, she was panicking.

"Ask Joe to come round" She said, reading my bewildered expression. "Just do it, if anything happens just prete-"

"I'm not pretending he's my boyfriend! I can't do that!" I interrupted, panicking myself.

"He'll protect you though" Nikki did have a point.

Me: do you by any chance know where Nikki lives?

Joe replied almost immediately.

Joe: Sort of. Why?

Me: Can you drop by? I might need some help.

"Nikki, I'm really scared" I didn't want to jump to conclusions but there was no reason why it had to be a face to face talk, he could just call or text. There was also no need to do it at quarter past eleven at night.

"Don't be; I'm here and Joe will probably arrive at any minute.
