Are we friends or are we more?

Chapter 1

"Joe Sugg you absolute pain in the ass" I groan hitting him in the head with a book.

"Oww" He laughs "What was that for?"

"Your supposed to help me pack" I complain. "Not mess everything up" I point at the pieces of paper he has dropped all over the floor. I move to London 2 weeks today and I've just started packing. Joe text me about half an hour ago saying he is bored so is going to come over. I made him promise to help pack but so far all he has done is eat all my cereal. 

"I am helping!" He says defensively.

"You so aren't!" I groan bending down and picking up the pieces of paper he has dropped all over my cream carpet. 

"I don't know why you're stressing about it" Joe says slumping onto the couch in the middle of my living room. He lays out fully spreading out across the couch. Today he's wearing his maroon joggers and a matching top. He looks like the old Joe, the Joe from before YouTube. Joe my best friend who never had to cancel plans or go home early because he's filming the next day."You've got 2 weeks to pack everything up"

"I know" I sigh. "I guess I'm a little nervous"

"Why?"

I shrug looking down at the floor. Moving to London is just one step closer to my dream of becoming a singer. I've been singing ever since I was little and 3 months ago I finally landed myself a scholarship at one of the performing art schools in London. 

"You shouldn't be nervous!" Joe says. "You're going to do great" He insists.

"I know, It's just London's a big place and I don't know anyone there" I say sitting down on the armchair to the left of the sofa.

"Hey, I'm in London all the time because of YouTube. Plus you'll make a bunch of friends at your new college" Joe reassures me.  

I grin. "I guess" I say before chucking the pile of papers in my hand at his face. "Want to grab a coffee or something?"

Joe opens his mouth to reply when his phone goes off in his pocket. "One sec." He looks at me apologetically before answering it and going to stand in the other room.I sigh picking at the sleeve of my sweater. Joe is always busy at the minute I guess with him doing thatching and YouTube it's hard to find free time and when he does he is normally catching up with other mates, not me. It is pretty cool though, he has nearly a million subscribers on YouTube. I still remember the day Zoe convinced him to make a channel, we were sat in the back room of their house. Zoe kept reading out comments on her videos about people wanting Joe to make a channel. I just smiled along and laughed at the cheesy ones like 'OMG You're brother is soooo cute." He gets loads of comments like that now, I'm kind of used to it. Not that I have to get used to it, he's just my close friend, nothing more. At the minute though it feels like I am loosing him to the world of YouTube and the 'YouTube gang'

"Sorry about that" Joe says walking back in the room. "It was just Alfie to say that he and Zoe have invited some of the guys over"

"Oh" I say awkwardly "You should probably go then" 

Joe nods. "I'll text you yeah?"

"Alright" I nod, not sure whether to get up and show him out. I get up and he brings me into a hug. I take a deep breathe and he smells of Joe, he smells of memory's I don't want to forget. 

"You could always come and meet them if you want?" Joe offers as we pull away and he walks towards the door.

I shake my head. "Perhaps another day"

"For me?" Joe asks, he's been trying to get me to meet the guys for ages. He says that I'd get on really well with them.  He batters his eyelashes at me.

I sigh. "Fine" I'll do it for Joe. I'll go a meet the people that are taking him away from me. "Let me just grab my coat"
