Happy birthday! 💗

Ashleys POV

Tyler treated me to a happy meal with extra fries, a mcflurry and a strawberry milkshake. What? He offered! And I'm not going to turn down free food.

Tyler got himself a cheese burger and occasionally helped himself to some of my chips. I don't say much as Tyler describes his daily morning routine while munching on his burger.

1 or two people noticed us and kept pointing in our direction. They didn't come over; probably because we were eating.

My heart aches and I can't help but allow the empty feeling in my gut to take over. Nothing's going right.  I haven't eaten all day. How do I expect to keep a relationship with Joe when I can't even keep a relationship with my food.

What am I even talking about? I roll my eyes at myself catching Tyler's attention. He slaps my arm and frowns.

"Why are you rolling your eyes at me you bitch" he jokes. I burst out in bundles of laughter and firmly grip his arm to keep me steady. What is happening to me?

"I was rolling my eyes at my self" I manage to spit out once I've calmed down. He instantly frowns.

"Why? What the hell is wrong with you? Did you eat the pot brownies that weirdo was selling down the street?" His voice now reduced to a hushed whisper.

"No!" I exclaim as I watch him giggle in front of me. I shake my head and put my rubbish on the clean blue tray that sits in between us.

My phone begins to ring snapping me out of my trance. I glance at the caller id. Joe. My eyes widen. What do I say? Does he hate me? Is he hurt? Does he regret liking me? Is the drama too much for him?

Tyler stares at my hesitant gaze.
"Answer it"

My finger hovers Over the green button and I finally find the courage to click the lime circle on the screen.

"Ashy?" His voice projects through the speakers.

Ashy? Is that a new nickname? I don't know what it is but I like it. I like it a lot.

"Joe?" I whisper delicately back.

"Are you going to come home?" His voice sounds broken.

The question rings in my ears.
"Are you going to come home?"

I imagine Joe saying that to me when we own our own place. It sounds so perfect.

"Are you-? Are you going to come back to me?" Joes voice is laced with worry and it breaks my heart.

"Of course Joe. Of course I'm coming back to you" I try to reassure him.

"You're not going to leave me are you? Not again"

"No... I'm not going to leave you" I say firmly. I need to get back.

The line is silent.

"Joe... Are you ok?" I ask wearily gripping the phone in my hand as I pin it against my red ear.

"Y-yeah" his voice breaks. He's not ok. He's clearly been crying. I can hear the distant sniffs in the background.

"Joe, I'm coming home now" I say lastly before hanging up. I can almost feel my eyes drooping. I'm so bloody tried. I decide that I better get the most of the free wifi while I'm here and flick through Instagram for a bit. I can feel Tyler's eyes on me. He's probably wondering how i got mixed up in all this. I'm usually the popular, sweet youtuber that stays out of trouble. Im usually the topic of conversation quite often but not because of some pointless drama, but because I announce something for my viewers. To give back to them. Whether that was a meet up or a live show, people were talking about it. But now I have multiple guys fighting over me. One is incredibly in love with me and the other is a complete jerk who's trying to win me back by putting photos of me near enough naked on the Internet.
