Paper thin // Joe Sugg au

*7*

*Trigger warning*

I went to stand up but Nikki stopped me.

"I'll open it, stay here" She walked cautiously towards her front door. I ignored what she said and followed her silently as she edged shakily forwards. The knocking became louder and louder, more aggressive and quicker. Nikki winced as she touched the handle but clasped her hand around it and pulled.

"Joe?" I gasped, still terrified but deeply grateful.

"Hey! you got me worried! What happened? what's wrong?" Joe pushed passed an annoyed looking Nikki and pulled me into him; His arms wrapped tight around my body.

"Brennon, he messaged me, asked me if I'd moved house and if he could come round. I was so scared that he would s-so I messaged you. Thank you so so much Joe!" I sniffled into his shoulder. He held me tighter then pushed me away slightly.

"Thank you for texting me, I actually-" He was cut off from another loud knock on the door. Nikki looked through the peep hole and turned to look at me. She needn't have said anything as I knew what she was about to say. "It's him" Joe stepped forward and ushered us into the living room.

Doing what he told us to, we rush into the living room and took a seat on the sofa. Nikki grabs the tv remote and turns on the tv, trying to find a decent channel to 'watch' while Joe opens the door. Nikki settles for an MTV music channel.

"Oh, er, Joe? Where's Milly? She wanted to speak" Brennon said, his lies shouting loud and clear.

"She's busy right now, another day?" Joe replies. I could hear the hopeful smile in his voice.

"No, it needs to be now. Where is she? MILLY?"

"Shh, okay. Right. She really doesn't want to talk to you. Now is not the best time, nor is tomorrow nor is ever. You should leave now" Suddenly a loud slap rung through the air. I was up on my feet in seconds, running out of the living room and to the front door.

There, in a heap, was Joe.

"You... punched him? Brennon, he didn't do anything!" I screamed.

"He was harassing me, wouldn't let me see you either" Brennon huffed.

"He wasn't harassing you, he was trying to get you to leave like I wanted him to. I think you should go right now" I said back sternly.

"I came here to talk to you and you don't even care! it's nearly midnight, I could be sleeping!" His face was a becoming a deep shade of red.

"Oh boohoo, some one will be missing their beauty sleep" Nikki called sassily from the end of the hallway.

"Shut it, hussy!" Brennon growled, causing Nikki to blush furiously "As for you" He jabbed a finger on my chest and left it lingering there for a while before speaking again.

"I came here to tell you something. you shall let me say it to you or else he gets more than just a punch.

When we broke up I thought it was for the best. I tried to see from your side of things. For a while I could see why you'd left, why you would want to. Do you know the effects that had on me? I became suicidal, Milly! Suicidal. Guess what I turned to Milly? Drugs. Alcohol. I became Abusive. Everyone I loved, everyone I knew were suddenly gone. Gone like they never existed.

I need you Milly. You keep me sane. You are the only one who can keep my head above the water. Do you know how I got out of that deep, dark hole? I thought of you. I fought for you. I came here because I need you back Milly. We belong together. Forever and always" Brennon had a way with words. That's why I liked him in the first place. He had a way of putting things together that made things seem so much better or worse than they were.

"N-no" I squeaked, fearing the consequences "We  don't belong together. We never did. I t was a mistake that brought us together. Our relationship was a mistake" I tried to say it confidently but I couldn't help but feel every other emotion. What if he did go through all of that? What if he's changed?

"Bless your little heart. I came here to talk to you, not for you to talk to me. We belong together, no matter what you say. If you can't see that we belong together then Ill make you see"

He launched his whole body at me. He smacked his lips against mine and let his hands wander. I tried to push him away but he grabbed my arms and squeezed them to my body. I looked away but he just went on to kiss my neck, obviously leaving a few hickies here and there. He squeezed my bum with both of his hands which made me flinch.

Nikki stood at the other end of the hallway. She was panicking, she looked flustered and was looking around. She reached out and grabbed a phone, putting it in her back pocket.

She ran. She ran towards Brennon and with all her power slapped him. He stopped for a few seconds while Nikki tried to pull him away with my little-doing efforts too. He didn't budge. He lifted his arm and swung, hitting Nikki in the gut.

"You ba.stard" I raged. He laughed then continued to kiss me, grinding his hips as he did so.

I tried so hard to get him off but it wasn't worth it. I couldn't do anything. I was stuck until he was finished.

*Crack* The air was strung with silence until Brennon spoke up.

"The little pu.ssy decided to speak up, how lovely. What did you think that was going to do? Save your little princess? Bless you, she's mine now. Forever ad always" He smirked before speaking up again "Oh, next time throw the punch a little harder. It might actually hurt" He turned back to me and went to continue.

"Actually, I was doing that to allow Nikki enough time to phone the police. Oh, and for them to get here"

Sirens from the distance began to get louder. Brennon panicked. He began to step back but lost his footing and fell, hitting his head on the wall.

A/n- I think this is a bit longer than the other parts (hoping it is because that's my aim). I hope you enjoyed it and remember to leave some feedback because I love to know what you think of each chapter/part :)
