Maybe... A Joe Sugg Fanfiction

9 - Can the Past Wreak The Future?

Joe's POV

I get into the cafe and sit down in the corner and wait for her. She said she'd be here at 7 just as the cafe opens but I don't see her anywhere. I think of what Alison would think if she knew I was here and lied again but I brush those thoughts from my mind knowing I have to focus on the present.

Alison's POV

I get in and begin to get dressed into one of the dresses I bought today. I think Joe is still taking me out unless he lied about that too. All of the sadness had towards him has changed into anger. I heard I knock at my door, "Come in." Zoe enters the room.

"You look lovely, date with Joe?" She smiles but looks nervous.

"Thanks and yeah," I return the smile. "What's up?"

"The sky." We both laugh a little which brightens the mood until Zoe properly answers my question. "We need to talk." 

"Okay..."

"Well I was wondering what's up with you and Joe, one minute your crying and shouting the next your curled up on the sofa and going on dates." She sighs. "I just can't keep up."

"I don't know to be honest..."

"I just don't want my brother getting hurt or you for that matter...." She looks at her feet. "Maybe you two should have never started dating..." She says barely audible.

"I don't know what to say... He's been lying a lot but I well.. think I..."

"Love him?" 

"I don't know?!" I collapse onto the bed behind me. "When I'm with Joe I get butterflies and feel happy and like nothing else matters but he hurts me too." 

"I get it." She sits down next to me on the bed.

"He makes me happy but so so sad." 

"I know maybe you need to tell him about this. What did you mean by lying?" I want to tell Zoe everything but I was scared. Scared to know what she would think.

"We aren't dating but I think he's cheating on me..." Zoe sighs.

"Joe has never been the most loyal..." 

"What do you mean?"

"Well..." We get interrupted by the doorbell. "That will be Joe. Alison do me a favour. Go, have fun and see how you feel at the end. Forget the fact that he's been lying and what I was about to tell you. You deserve to have fun."

"Thank you Zoe." I hug her and then go downstairs ready for my date with Joe and just like Zoe says I try to forget what she told me and just enjoy myself. I open the door and am greeted by a smirking Joe. 

"You look gorgeous." He states looking me straight in the eye. I look back and so the eyes that remind me so much of the first date me and Joe had and I break down. I seem to be breaking down a lot but I can't take lying. Not since high school, not since losing my friends, not since losing my life by doing it and knowing that Joe someone I trusted even though I've known him less than a week was lying to me made me just want to cry and cry.

"I know you lied..." I mumble as he pulls me into a hug. Silence is all I'm replied with.

Joe's POV

She knows... how does she know? She's going to hate me but what does everyone expect? I can't just abandon Ellie. She has no one. No one at all so what if I'm her ex? So what if she was my first love? I'm not just going to turn her away and I thought lying to Alison was best but maybe I was wrong all along. I don't know what to do. So I just hold and wait for her to calm down as it will give me a chance to think.
